I have been running with the PTO in neutral. I need the PTO and cannot get it to shift to either speed range. The shift lever Only appears to go from 540 to neutral but the PTO shaft turns freely by hand. All suggestions welcomed.

I have a Koyker 140 Loader and The 3point hitch using the tractor Hydraulic pump. I have a PTO pump for my backhoe that came with the backhoe. The tractor supplies plenty of power and I think flow for the Backhoe. What are the negatives in going to the tractor pump with the backhoe also?

Jinma 200 2005 My PTO has stopped driving the hydraulic pump connected to it. I can shift the speed lever 1000/off/540 and see a little movement on the PTO output shaft but no power to the shaft. The pump will turn freely by hand. It was working a few months ago when I used it last. Any suggestions?

DLT 3000 with 20? horse V twin 42 inch deck. Replaced a spindle on the deck, Caught a wire in the yard that wound up between deck and blade breaking an ear off the spindle.

I have 6 or so trees I want to cut down to thin out my yard. They average 8 inch diameter at the base. Some bigger some smaller. I will use the wood for fire wood. When can I cut to minimize sap in the trees. I live in northwestern Louisiana. We are just getting Fall colors. It will be early...

I need to remove a nut holding a gear on the end of a shaft. the shaft drives a small hydraulic pump. The gear is driven by a gearbox driven by the PTO on my tractor. The gear is about an inch long and 3/4 inch in diameter. The nut is 11/16. I will damage the gear if I grip it with vice grips...

This is the hydraulic fluid recommended for an Italian backhoe I have. From a google search I am guessing it is universal Tractor Fluid UTF. Does anyone have any info?

I have added a swivel and a new base plate for my seat. Now I can stand up swing the seat to the back and control my backhoe from the tractor seat. All I need is a simple locking device to keep the seat still between reversals. The next project is to hard mount the backhoe to the ROPS mount on...

Harbor Freight had the Trencher on sale this week for $2499.99. The best deal on a backhoe I have found and fits my budget. It is well constructed. Good welds, lots of steel and the hydraulics don't leak. The 9HP Subaru engine starts on the first crank. The dry weight is 1056LB. After several...

I ended up buying a TSC 22 Ton stand alone, on sale for $996. It took too long to get the 3pt. model in. The 22 ton is almost twice as powerful as the 3pt. on my tractor. First run showed it will split anything I can work into it when vertical. It only goes into the high pressure/ low volume...

I need a bigger log splitter. I have a DR 4 ton rated electric powered splitter that is barely better than useless. It has an up to 8 inch log rating but will fail on some dry 5 inch diameter limbs. I want a machine that will split any 16 inch diameter, 18 inch long, log I can man handle into...

Will all the 2XX series lift the same amount with the 3PTH? There seems to be the same Lift Box in all of them. Harold
