DarkBlack; I checked the radiator like you suggested, coolant is bright and green, although I didn't start it, I don't want to until I am ready to lift the loader and pull it into the shop. If it was fuel in the oil from the fuel system, the oil level wouldn't have dropped, it would have gained...

In a regular vehicle with good roads, Laramie the Guernsey was and hour and a half. In Humvees only the trip was closer to two hours. In a See it was another half hour. Kuwait city to what is now Ali airbase was a good ten hours. They are like a Swiss Army knife, can do a lot of things, but none...

I do not miss the SEE trucks. Miserable to convoy down the road in, the seat had a foreword tilt so you have to use your legs the entire time, especially with body armor. The backhoes worked fine as a PTO pump off the transmission ran those hydraulics, but the skid steer size bucket ran off the...

I just saw the second page, oops. I had a Kubota engine in a generator where the crankcase vent was plugged with ice. A rubber plug blew out and sent oil everywhere. That plug is for another location for the dipstick depending on the engine application, such as this engine in the generator is...

It's been a little while fallas, I apologize. A bigger project came up and it'll take some time before I can really get this into the shop. I'll start posting again when I get started. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Boomer, I will try that this week.

I don't know your area, but if you have a beet or a potato farmaround you, ask for a scrap of their conveyor belt. 1/4" thick and very sturdy, although black, frayed, and maybe unsightly...

Set everything out, look at it, think logically, then just kinda wing it. Who's to tell ya it's wrong? If it don't work, modify and Binford, can't go wrong.

The 3020 Deere is a heck of a lot bigger than a single cyl Honda, but engines are engines. Valve seals are very likely in both cases. I didn't think about what Hay Dude said about crankcase vent... Been There and Big Bubba, my compression tests from 1-4 are: 325, 317, 321, 330, so I am not...

TractorTech, you are absolutely right. I apparently didn't look close enough, I'm too accustomed to tractors older than I am. Replace the o-rings 100%.

I have had all three. The R14 tires were fine most of the time, loading hay out of the field and stacking it in the shed, terrible choice while pulling the disc, let alone the plow or chisel. R4's, for what I do, I would never own another set. For me, plowing snow with tire chains, making and...

RTV silicone, of the Grey or black ultra flavor

Most, and I emphasize most, trailers are rated per axle combination. With 2-7k axles they call it 14k trailer, but that takes out the weight of the trailer itself. So, a "14k" trailer minus the #2500 ish weight of the trailer itself makes it ~11.5k capacity. Some of that is put on the truck...

This is running on all four cylinders just fine, has a hard time revving up but I'm sure that's because of the oil. I haven't let it get hot enough for a runaway. I am also thinking valve stem seals, but I didn't know if there was somewhere else that I should check first. I am a heavy equipment...

I think ketchup is spicey... anything hotter will blow out an o-ring...
