I called around a few years ago to retail tire shops asking if they loaded tractor tires. Sure! one said so I went there to have a leak repaired. When I went to pick it up they had removed all the calcium chloride from it and fixed the leak and had a employee help me "load" it into the back of...
I've had guys on my crew grease tractors to the point I couldn't hardly walk by the tractor without ruining clothing. The grease that oozes out of pins and bores does no good; Usually I pump one shot per fitting and occasionally wipe up the mess with a gasoline soaked paper towel.
Kill the vermin. I place Tomcat or equivalent poison where domestic pets can't get into it. Mouse/rat poison works because mice and rats can't vomit out the poison once they realize something's not right.
I looked for a pre-emission for half a year - these are at least 13 years old now. Finally bought a 2015 L4760 (Kubota) and now have over 100 hours on it. Regenerations come around pretty quickly the way I use the tractor - 1,500 RPM usually and limited idling. If the particulate filter is good...
Please... no lectures about the environment. Highway departments use CaCl2 for ice and dust control by the barge load. On gravel roads if applied properly it will draw moisture from the air and gravel and form an almost pavement like surface. One treatment will last for several years if done...
I have the same tractor with the same issue. I have not tried adjusting the rod to the rear. Seems like it might work. If you try adjusting that could you post the results?
I've had a 790 for 26 years. Every year the time and sweat involved with hooking up the mid mount mower gets worse. This spring it took almost 2 hours. I've tried rear mounted mowers and they do a nice job but turning radius has a big tail swing. If money and space allows it's more practical to...
A tractor on its side can have a runaway engine too. You were wise to shut off the engine quickly. Hydrolock can bend connecting rods but diesel engine components are very rugged. Kubota makes a very good engine. You're probably going to be fine. For extra peace of mind you could run the engine...
Front tires under a loaded FEL bucket take a beating with the weight and the turning I'd recommend the 10 ply and compare the tire load rating - they vary.
I've had to do it for years. One hand on the PTO lever, turn the key with the other hand a second before lifting the PTO lever. If you time it right the engine is just starting to fire as you engage the PTO. The funny thing is that disengaging the PTO by depressing the clutch stops the PTO from...
Interesting.... When you figure it out would you post what the solution was? We had a L3400 and in below freezing weather the bucket wouldn't operate but the boom would. Never did figure that out but I assumed it was in the spool assembly (lever control assembly).
Electric water heaters and ranges are usually fed with 10/2 or 10/3 romex and a 30 amp fuse - however if you look at the wires inside the appliance they're usually 12AWG. Those wires are short runs so it works. The Amazon amp meter with its 10 AWG wiring is a short run and should be OK. If...
