What else should I have on hand?

Snap-ring pliers, extra grease zerks, gloves, PSI tire gauge that reads down to 10 PSI. I think the rest was covered.


Have everything on hand to do a full service. You never know when something will get messed up or you’ll need to top off.

Yes, I keep a full set of filters and oil for the next service. That way I know I can do it on my own schedule. BTW, did anyone mention a good set of headphones? I like the noise-cancelling type and wish I had bought them years ago.

Dont feel beat up at all. I didnt realize my profile didnt show where i am. I am in N.H. MY driveway isnt terribly long at about 200ft and at least for the first winter I'm just going to try to use the bucket and I always have my old snowblower as backup. With the money i'm dropping for the tractor and a grapple I'm holding off on other implements for now. It was all the small stuff that has been suggested here that I wanted to hear about like snap rings and fuses and stuff like that.

Indeed... 17mm seems to a common size that the kits/sets skip over. This mostly pertains to spanners & box-wrenches.

Previous posts have covered most of the initial things (oh, there will be more... :laughing:), however, I'd invest in a torque-wrench (+ the relevant sockets) to, at least, snug-up the wheel lugs.

A couple of cans of lanolin based spray-on lubricant is very handy to have at hand. (if it moves, but doesn't have a grease nipple, spray it)

I have torque wrenches and a fair selection of sockets and spanners. Anything bigger than 17 needed?
