too funny David Brown 990A 57hp tractor

I have a 40HP HST I was wondering (after all the warnings we read in manuals) how much extra oil is too much that it would cause problems? Is too much worse than too little???? just kind of curious........Thanks.

The bottom fitting to my bucket strated to leak after only 90 hrs on my MF1540. But it doesnt leak when operating. Only after it has cooled down. about 1/2 cup on the ground in 2 days. could someone explain why it leaks at all, and why not when the bucket is being used or the tractor is running...

I have always used a low kickback chain but I can get a good deal on some 20 inch full chisel chains. Is there really a noticable difference in kickback? I have heard the argument that if you are careful to begin with there should be no need for low kickback chains......it seems to me, with my...

I dont know squat about air compressors but I need to get one for my tractor, car, trailers etc. I really just need it for tires, cleaning off filters, etc what should I look for in a reliable yet relatively inexpensive model. Thanks guys!

This has to be the most helpful website I have encountered over the last 10 years. NO BS. No big egos. No trollers. A BIG thanks to those who keep it going!

Which is safer for lifting heavy items with the FEL, straps or chains of equivalent ratings? most of the "towing" chains I see specifically warn against using them for lifting but I figure that is CYA litigation protection... all advice appreciated. Thanks
