Last July on a quiet sunny day we had a power failure when a couple of trees decided it was time to fall. They broke the hot wire on top and came to rest on the ground wire which held. The power crew cut the trees in random short lengths and left them on the side of the road. I finally went out...

You didn't mention a capacitor. Could it be shorted ? Or wrong rotor.\? gg

Pile is looking good. Doesn't look like you have much of a problem with pine weevil where you are ??? How about blister rust ?? We have both here and pine does not fair well. gg

I had a Red Maple succumb to the wind earlier this year. I pulled it out for firewood today. At about 12 feet up it forked into two leaders. Both leaders split off, each going in opposite directions. One laying flat on the ground and the other remained partially attached to the snag. I had...

I agree on Discount Hydraulic Hose. I have used them for years for both fittings and hoses. They are very good with price and service !! Their custom hose service is especially good. But last spring I blew the pressure hose on my wood splitter. Didn't want to wait and needed a hose good for...

I have been trying for almost 2 weeks to get the mouse smell out of this door panel that was partially covered with felt insulation. The mice had chewed up most of it. I used multiple heavy applications of enzyme odor remover, sun, and air. I got out most of the smell but not all. Maybe good...

It is August so I have started moving my wood for '26/'27 that has been split since May into the wood shed. Do it a little at a time while I have some shade. gg

Does it have a Lucas DAV injection pump ? I have a Dresser TD7G with a Dresser/Cummins engine. It has the Lucas pump it looks like this I can trace the lines and take some pictures if that will help. The fuel return line goes back to the tank like tinhack said. gg

I see the local Home Despot carries that. Thanks ! gg

How did you get rid of the smell ? I haven't put that panel back on yet. There is still about a square foot or so of insulation glued on to it that hasn't been chewed away. I'm hoping letting it dry and air out in the sun will do it but maybe there is a better way ??? gg

In my One-Ton. So I took the door panel off..... and cleaned this out of the bottom of the door gg

I have two Kubotas both gear drive and live in northern VT with a cold climate and use both tractors all winter. The L3010 I bought new in 2001 and use Rotella HD in it. The M5640 I bought used in 2017 and also use Rotella HD in it. Again they are gear drive not hydrostatic. No problems for me...

I'm no expert at all but have you checked to return line from the pump ?? gg
