When I adjusted my PTO clutch bolts I marked the first bolt I adjusted with chalk. The second bolt had a marking already and then I made few marks for the third bolt. Now when pressing the clutch I feel the PTO clutch about halfway down. It was barely feeling the PTO clutch before. Yes when...

i thought Adam Boothe (search for his you tube channel abom something) used these guys sometimes for seals. https://herculesus.com/ If you can make sense of what you need and can get the gland nut off it is a fairly easy job to change out seals.

I have been running Mobil 1 synthetics over 30+ years, probably closer to 40 years. I have over 700,000 miles on my diesel Jetta. I happen to use Shell T6 in the truck but it only has 200,000 miles on it. T6 in my little 870 Deere. Works fine. The few days it gets cold with snow the tractor...

My CS2511T weighs about 8.5 pounds with some fuel, oil, 14" bar and chain. The dry weight specs of the T and TN are the same. I can't saw without fuel, oil, bar and chain. ;-) Nice light saw.

2003 VW TDI. Just keeps running.

My car has well over 700,000 miles on it. Oil and filter change every 10,000 miles. Head and oil pan never removed. I might use a quart of oil between changes. Generally an hour or more of driving between shut offs.

I may have to try that. It takes a lot of slamming sometimes to get it to eat a 5 inch limb, if at all taking it.

1989-1997 were the production years. Produced in Japan by Yanmar. On my 870 that metal screen is before the metal can filter. You might be amazed at how much junk is in that screen. The small owners manual should have to how to remove info and also mention if you have a can filter. When I say...

If you rented big chippers, little PTO chippers might be an annoyance. Many years ago I worked on a tree crew for 3 months. The owner liked the best stuff. I had no idea what that was. His stump grinder had a wide drum. The branch chipper would slap the heck out of you. Not bad if feeding maple...

I repaired a Paslode trim gun and a framing gun with new seal kits. It has been ten years since the last time I repaired one so i do not recall exactly what seal dried out. If you can find a kit then it then you are golden.

I have a Crest 175HTA. Heated smaller unit.

New math they do not teach you in school. If you count your fingers and your 3 joints, you can count pretty high with just one hand. 16 with just 4 fingers. Thumbs mess things up and you can only get up to 19 on one hand unless you count the hand which gets you to twenty. ;-) I replaced 3...

I had a Suburban with a vibration. New Michelins did not help as much as I hoped. I wonder if the driveshaft or drums were out of balance. I gave up. My Dad driving it never took it up to 70. He is not as fussy as I am. He used to be. Tires on mid 70's Dodge van were bricks in Cleveland Ohio...

I use a JD870 2wd (28 PTO HP) on our 9 acre horse farm. I have not used the chain drag harrow in 15 years. 6 horses now 8 or 10 a year ago. 4-7 turn out areas depending on how you count. If it rains we need to mow every month in the summer. 60" mower. Loader to move manure from manure pile to...
