Any tricks out there for getting a bit of black diesel goo out of my G1800 fuel tank? There are apparently a few blobs in there that won't run out the bottom end fuel line connection nipple when I change fuel filters. Fuel filters turn black soon after being changed, and clog about once a year...

A old debate has resurfaced locally. I remember many past discussions about the inadvisability of using a hydrostatic tractor to run a pto baler. I realized that I don't, however, have any concrete evidence that this is "bad" for the tractor. In my neighborhood are an L5030hst, a Ford 3000 and...

Working with a friend's Kubota U45 excavator (well maintained, roughly 600 hrs); It is making a noise for no more than 1 minute after each start-up (even when warm). It sounds to me like a bad fan clutch bearing (rattle/squeal- noticeable, but not an OMG! sound) When the sound suddenly goes...

Just looking for ideas to fix a sheet metal roof leak in a large pole barn... I tracked the source to a self-tapping screw that missed the purlin and stripped out its hole. Because the hole is stripped, the screw cannot tighten its washer against the roof, and the silicone sealer I added was...

After seeing endless comments on HF tools and sales, I just had to state what seems obvious to me; Harbor Freight stores smell really awful, and they contain the largest concentration of knock-off junk imaginable... I am not about to say that I buy nothing from China, but I've drawn the line...

We are beginning restoration work on the first of several older gasoline-powered machines. All have smallish steel fuel tanks with much solid crud inside- are there any tricks for cleaning this stuff out? Two are mid-60's Cub Cadets- tank replacement is not an option, and there is no...

Anyone know of post-hole auger brands out there (cat 1 or 2) with larger "geometry" to allow PTO-shaft clearance on larger tractors? I have an older auger (unk. brand) that works just fine on a MF135D, but because of the height of the arch above the lower links, does not allow proper shaft...

New member, but long-time tractor and UTV owner... What's the verdict on RTV1100s with LiteFoot (or other) tracks? I'm researching this for use in ranch-type work over snow on log roads and hilly fields at 2200' elevation or less. I've seen some conflicting threads posted here in the past on...
