While my bum knee is on the mend, I did replace the seal today. I couldn't get a seal pick or something like it to pop the seal out, so I drilled a hole and used a cotter pin puller to pop the old seal out. If that had not worked, I would have used a slide hammer with a screw threaded into the...

Thanks for posting as this thread is the forum equivalent of one hand clapping. That said, if you've held Bitcoin for one year today, you're up over 100%.

I've been very happy with my SpeeCo CAT2 quick hitch thingy. I bought it years ago from a fleet store online. Here is a Cat 1 SpeeCo for less money...

Go to a busy boat launch, and comedy will ensue from those who just don't know how to back up a trailer.

So, popping everything apart is child's play. I first foam-cannoned the underside to get rid of any poison ivy oil. I then pulled the cutterpin, which was the hardest thing to do, put a 1-13/16" socket on a 3/4" drive impact and winged the nut off. I then threaded the nut most of the way back...

By jumping battery hot (the starter has 12v positive) to the solenoid, you're asking the solenoid and the bendix to work. If the connection is good, the solenoid will work and the starter will be energized. If a good connection is made and the solenoid does nothing, your solenoid is bad. Notice...

FWIW, a guy can bench-test a solenoid with the starter removed, and it will work, but it will not work when under a load. FWIW, I see this happen mostly with outboard motors. Anyway, somewhere on here is a thread on buying just a solenoid for your starter. Without a remote starter switch, I...

I have the same issue right now with my cabbed HST NX. I had the hood up, it rained, and now no start on the ignition switch. To start, key on and then jump the solenoid. FWIW, I am using a remote starter. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XBP69Q5?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

I ordered the seals and on Ruffdog's suggestion, tonight I leaned it up against a tree.

Mandate citizens to rub balloons against their heads to charge the grid, I imagine.

According to Woods, you are right, there is a new triple-lip seal that fits in place of the old seal (p/n 39289), and the part number for the new triple-lip seal is 1045872. I was informed that I will also need a protective seal (p/n 57338). Anyway, I'm going to order those parts in before...

"Twigs" was used as a slang term when I was picked up large chunks of windfall birch trees.

Looks like a common roll pin to my eye. I have an entire kit of different sized roll pins I got from Amazon years ago. Measure the one you still have and order a new one. Many are the choices...

What ever you get, get high-flow hydraulics. High-flow makes the machine more useful on the attachments you can use and adds to the resale value.
