    Lubrication additives for Diesel Fuel in older tractor

    Where do they say this? And if sulfur was what is needed, why don't the additives for lubricity contain sulfur?

    Looking for inexpensive AW46 - Hydraulic Oil

    I'd put any AW46 I could find in it. You can do the price shopping yourself. It's not rocket science here. Another reason it doesn't matter is it won't be in the machine long. You will blow hoses and lines, just a fact of running heavy equipment, especially if you are going to get into the...

    I destroyed the gearbox on my brush hog.... help

    Run corn-head grease in the new box instead of gear oil.

    Are tractors and equipment a good investment right now?

    And, in the 70's, everyone was b$%^@ing about Japan and Singapore, then it was Taiwan, followed by Korea. In a few years it will be Vietnam. In the long run, it will move to African countries.

    The one thing that you wonder why you didn't buy sooner?

    Excavator: Yanmar SV100. Did buy a Vio80, but needed just a little more hydraulic power.

    I got a dump truck! How does it work?

    Probably the same reason you and several others didn't read the thread before responding and see that he already figured it out last week and on page one no less. :ROFLMAO:

    Kubota 3910 ran out of water and will not run

    I'll guess that you don't think your auto insurance should cover you in an at-fault accident then? This is exactly what KTAC is for and why you pay for it. Had a buddy sink an excavator in a pond because of an old beaver lodge. KTAC replaced the machine.

    4WD and loader work

    Plenty of discussion on the MFWD usage. Seems to be covered. Now, scooping out of a pile; think of it more has shaving a layer of material off of the face of the pile instead of just driving the bucket as deep as you can and then curling and lifting.

    16k trailer with 14500 payload.

    The trailer GVWR has to include the entire weight including the pin or tongue weight. This is a mis-print or mistake. The small trailer would have to have a GVWR of 17350 and that would necessitate a tongue weight of 3350. As it is listed, the max you can put on the small trailer is 13150...

    Thoughts on 02 F450 dump

    Cool truck and nice deal. Personally, I originally went with a medium duty dump truck with a GVWR of 26K. It was a Sterling and didn't need any work for 12K. The problem I see with these 350 and 450 trucks is you really can't haul much. Great for a plow truck and carrying a little bit of...

    TruFuel 50-1or Stihl 50-1 or Red Armor 50-1??

    Adding more oil actually leans out the air-fuel mixture if you don't make carb adjustments.

    Ideas for fastening strobe light to tractor roof

    Strobe on my Maxxum mounts to a bracket on the cab supports. It would be trivial to fashion a bracket for your strobe. Here is a picture from CaseIH that shows the strobe mounted and you can make out the bracket. I'm surprised the Challenger doesn't already have some threaded holes for the...

    Wood chippers

    I looked at 3-point hand skid steer mount chippers. I ended up buying a tow behind model off of Auction Time. I paid about $5000 for a very lightly used Morbark 2060D. It's rated for 6" and has a CAT diesel engine. Now, as to the why I went this route: 1) I'm not putting any hours or wear...

    Please tell me this is not the way oil filters are made...

    First, the filters CLEARLY say Fuel Filter on them Second, just because you don't see them in the USA doesn't mean that Mazda doesn't make diesel engine vehicles. If you travel the world, you will see that Mazda diesel powered cars and trucks are quite ubiquitous.

    Looking for info - 3 point log splitter

    To each his own, however my Northern Tool 37-ton splitter with the Honda engine is a workhorse and very well built. I wouldn't want to put hours on my large equipment just to do the menial task of splitting wood. Also, by having a separate splitter, I've freed up the other equipment to move...

    Everything Attachments

    Travis, I purchased a Bradco 84" bucket with the weld on teeth, part #18453 from my local dealer. At the time, I guess Paladin wasn't shipping them with the side cutters. Can I order the side cutters and bolt kit from you?

    3D Printing Parts

    I ran into a situation on my excavator where I needed to add an additional switch to control the door on my forestry mulcher. I tried to find a ready made solution and decided that I was going to have to make it myself. I'd recently seen some of the 3D work that was being produced by my...

    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    Nope, it all depends on the number of posts per page. I set mine up for 40. This is page 313 for me.

    How do you store you logging/tow chain?

    Another ammo box solution. Click on the images and they should appear right side up.

    DEF transport

    Has anyone bought a 5 gallon or so can so that they can fill it with DEF at the truck stops and then fill their equipment? DEF is much cheaper in bulk than the cardboard boxes from the store.

    "Reverse clevis hitch"? Anyone ever tried?

    My scraper as well as disc and do-all have this type of tongue: It's odd to me that your ground engaging implements have a fixed tongue.

    Idea for tools box and chainsaw holder

    I don't have a loader, and admittedly, this is a bigger tractor, but I made a chain box out of a Harbor Freight ammo box and attached it to my front weight bracket. Looking at pictures of your model tractor, I'd consider mounting a box on the front where the grill guard mounts. I've seen...

    Worst stuck pics

    When I went in, there was no indication of water. After getting the backhoe and trying to dig it out, I found some water. Then it rained and this is what it looked like the next morning. If I'd known then, what I know now, I could've easily winched it out the first day with a chain hooked...

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    LOL, I think I got lost in the thread when I tried to go back a couple of months and ended up going back a couple of years. Oh well, here is my latest find: Way overloaded and I don't see any straps actually holding the load to the truck. It appears to me that the strap around the drums is...

    Best attachment to loosen up soil of dirtbike track?

    There are different configurations, but this is like mine and has the rolling baskets on the front and then what amounts to a drag harrow on the back. The rolling baskets are what make it work so well for breaking clods and then the harrow smooths it out. If you don't have a big enough tractor...

    Trailer regrets....

    Here is what I added to my 10 ton gooseneck. Couldn't add jacks to the side, because it would've been over the legal width. These have worked great, loaded a 18K dozer and no more lifting the rear of the truck, or worse, having the ramps fold up into the ripper. I also don't think slide in...

    Your towing rigs and trailers

    I went with the 14k 20+5 GN too. Then I realized that it wasn't always going to be enough. Seems like you always find bigger projects once you start down this path. Even 10,0000 lb pieces of equipment start to push the limits of the 14K trailers once you start adding chains, tools and the...

    Tree Trimmer Build

    I saw something similar here and decided to build my own. Grabbed a pump and pulley from Burden. Picked up a scrap table saw arbor and got to work. Hoses, idler and belt came from Tractor supply. Titan is local to me so that's where I got the mount plate. Less than $500 invested...

    Jacks at rear of trailer to eliminate "dip" when loading tractor?

    Looks good. I couldn't go that route, as my trailer is already max legal width and I wanted the jacks to always be there. Taking them on and off wasn't the best way for me to make sure they were always there. So, I went this direction. Works great and I've loaded an 18,000 dozer. I will say...

    Metal Building Lighting?

    I have a 40x60x14 metal building too. I put 4 T-8 fixtures (8 bulbs total) in each 20 foot bay. The fixtures are attached to the second purlins on either side of the peak, running length wise. I calculated the total foot-candles prior to going this route and have been extremely happy with the...

    Boom Pole for SS

    Made this out of an attachment plate and some extra steel I had laying around. Makes it easy to get stuff off a trailer when you don't have a helper.
