Hello All, Just wanting to confirm that a Hydraulic shop will have to redo this fitting for me. I took the plug out and didn't see anything that would make me think this fitting is threaded and can be replaced by myself. Thanks - Stripped fitting

Thanks to all who might look and respond to my question, I have a Smith and Wesson, Model C Rifle in .30-06 w/HVA 1900 action -- I bought it years ago for a Western hunt that never came to be. Fast forward to today, I now have a hunting use I want to press this rifle into service for and would...

Hi all, Need some help with diagnosing and correcting an issue related to loss of power with the Yanmar diesel that powers this F935. Mower belongs to a nonprofit organization. The tractor gets used hard with very little TLC. I get the call for help once it totally quits working. So, I once...

I own a mid '80's B6200e. My problem is that ever since the original power and deck belts have had to been replaced. I have never, EVER come close to the longevity of those original belts. (15+ years for all 3) Kubota belts are rather pricey in my neighborhood, but I am wondering if maybe I'd...

I am working on an F935 mower for a local nonprofit organization. The mower gets mostly abused, heavily. The left side bearing that carries the outer end of the axle shaft was completely destroyed. I got it all apart, have the new parts, and was able to have a machine shop redo the gouging that...

Nut threads were totally stripped out. I am wondering if a certain grade is to be used so that the nut 'fails' and not the threads on the cylinder rod end. All help is appreciated. Thanks

A little back story: Was using my Kubota L35 to clean up some storm damage to several of my trees. During my use, there was a loud pop/bang from the FEL. The bucket then went to full dump and won't move. I see my right cylinder start to move, then it quits. I haven't opened anything up to know...

I know how to properly pack the bearings themselves. My question is about adding extra grease inside the hub? Do I need to or have I been wasting extra grease all these years? I know that "Bearing Buddies" would be having one fill that space completely, but their purpose is kind of different...

I need some of that TBN wisdom. I have a freebie T.B. Econo-Horse. It comes with the Tecumseh 6HP engine, H60-75506N SER: 7296D. I don't know why the previous owner quit using it. Also, the tiller has not been used in years. That being said, I have torn into it enough to know that the intake...

When posting a new thread, I use to be able to choose from a small group of icons that showed up on the Today's Posts main page(2nd column from the far left). One in particular was the blue circle with the question mark inside. It was a nice way of giving people a heads up about what the post...

I inherited this old A/c from my Grandfather. It ran when parked, but that has been close to likely 10 years ago. I have a neighbor who stopped and asked if I was interested in selling it. He is interested in it for a restoration project. Frankly, it was something I have been wanting to do, but...

Trying to determine if I need to spend the $100 or so on a new one of these. Back ground: tractor was rather low on fuel, thought I'd run it out. Added fuel to a bit over 3/4 mark on fuel gauge, opened fuel by-pass petcock assembly, cranked motor over, acted like it wanted to go but wouldn't...

This question has to do with torque wrenches. I know that to do a truly proper repair on a mechanical device, let's say a tractor (:)); a person should perform the repair and use the proper torque on all the bolts and nuts set forth by the shop manual. So when the rubber meets the road, where...

I am dealing with part 7. I went online to Deere parts and it labels it as a tapered fit pulley. So it seems that I should be able to use a standard puller for removing it. Not going so well at the moment. Will heat help much? How 'rough' can I get with it in trying to remove it? After getting...

Hope this question is getting posted in the correct Forum Subsection. If not, please move to where it should be. My question is about using one of those online Do It Yourself websites. These are a few examples: ALLDATAdiy.com Leading Source of Factory Automotive Repair Information - DIY Auto...
