OP: again, recommend getting a spare if you plan hauling any distance from home, good luck

recommend finding a tire dealer/shop that specializes in foam injection for applications like this. also, if you decide to foam fill & transport on hwy, be sure the tire & foam are rated for hwy use, higher speeds, etc. it's complicated. it really depends on how you transport your...

sounds like an electrical tach rather than mechanical cable. hope an easy solution, regards

agree, GL5 80/90, or 75/90 hypoid gear oil will do fine. some use a heaver 85/140 but i steer clear. Kubota tractors come factory supplied sometimes with hydraulic fluid, but too thin in my estimation. don't overfill as may compromise seals, etc, you know that. welcome to forum, regards

As has been stated before if I was going to look for another tractor I would check out the online classifieds and see what a potential purchase was selling for and the availability of that model, then I would check the wrecking yards for used parts availability. Bentrim agree, but i wouldn't...

absolutely, & w/Mt Magazine in sight, you're already close to paradise. you might let us know how you go about sales. & Marketplace sounds like a good start, regards ` letting go in various life stages is something we all go through. if we can do it peacefully w/o personal conflict, so much...

completely agree
