    3x20 hydraulics? pump

    ive noticed an issue since day one where you can hear what sounds like cavitation when operating any hydraulic implement.

    need to order a custom pulley. Everything i find in the size i need list the bore size at 3/4 inch. My pulley doesn't seem to have a 3/4 bore size. Mine measures at 12/16.

    Successful bandaid fixes for compression loss on small engines

    I have a 20 year old 4 cycle 1 cylinder Yamaha golf cart. Compression should be 150-175psi. My compression reads 100 psi at full throttle. Putting engine oil in the spark plug hole raises compression to 150. Thinking bad cylinder wall or piston rings. Is it possible that carbon buildup on the...

Already cleared about an acre with it. Spindles are holding up great. Sorry you...

    Not crazy about 3x20 cab tractor joystick cables

    So I figured I would take up slack on the sloppy joystick tonight. I found that there is nothing to be done. Its almost like the cables or a 2 stage design internally as you can see in the video. There is about 1/2 inch movement below the joystick and very tight at the other end by the valve...

    setting sway stabilizers on 3pt lift

    Is there a recommended amount of play? I can literally set the stabilzers where they are so tight and there is no movement at all. I like that setup. Then I have implements were it can be set were there is a little bit of sway back and forth. (a little bit). Is it bad to have no sway at all and...
