    Home Depot has the flat stock, (1/4"x1") that you need to make it look original, especially with your 4" grinder to grind/cut to fit original knob.

    3-Point Hitch 3-point Hydraulic cylinder has flow by

    Sounds as if you need something like this. Have been using these check chains to determine the height of my cutter and keep strain off 3ph for about 15 years. Unfortunately don't remember where I got them or exact name.

    Don't trust that temp light

    Luckily, my YM2000B has a factory temp gauge. Yesterday I was mowing in some heavy stuff and noticed my temp gauge never even got up to the cold mark when I knew it should be at op temp. Grounding the "push-on" connector should have pegged it on the hot side with the switch on, but did not...

    McCulloch chain oil in cylinder

    Working on a friends McCulloch 16" Eager Beaver chainsaw which runs fine until the cylinder fills up with chain oil, mostly after sitting.

    LEAKDOWN TEST

    Has anyone ever tried a "leakdown test" on diesel engines the way they do on small gas engines? It should work if you can inject air into the combustion chamber.

    Pressure relief valve

    Anybody know where the hydraulic pressure relief valve is located on a YM2000B, or similar tractor, (YM240, YM2000)? I am reading horror stories about faulty, (sticky), valves, and it makes me want to check mine out.

    Why would anyone buy a tractor or any other big ticket item on eBay? Maybe someone can clear up my confusion. How can there be any bargains for the buyer when the "reserve price" is in effect? It seems to me that guarantees that the "winning bid" must meet or exceed the seller's asking price or...
