    JD850 with JD80 front end loader--Hydraulics issue, bucket strains to dump and has no strength

    Is it possible one of the hard lines on loader got smashed partially shut restricting flow? If not try swapping lines and see if restriction follows the line?

    F150 Transmission Service?

    On my 2022 powerboost F-150 the exhaust/heat exchanger is routed under the transmission pan in such a way pan won't come down without exhaust removal. So fluid change options are flush or extract pan fluid through fill port/mini dipstick on passenger side. Two independent repair facilities said...

    Repair questions for a 2007 Montana 5740C

    Glow plug system is controlled by a relay located on the firewall on the rh side of engine. Try using penetrating oil rather than WD 40 on the PTO shaft collar. Don't be afraid of giving it a good soaking and leave overnight. LS dealer can help with part number for glow plug controller relay.

    Equipment buying negotiation strategies, haggling stories sellers, etc.

    As I've bought and sold lots of stuff over the years here's my line of thinking...does the buyer or seller seem like they need the $100 more than I do? Sometimes the stuff is nicer in person and underpriced. In that case I have felt guilty and paid them more than asking price.

    kubota B6100 clutch not releasing

    Just to be clear when you say clutch won't disengage the clutch pedal goes down all the way but the clutch doesn't release? If that's the case with everything you've replaced it has to be the linkage from the pedal to fork that out of adjustment?

Our local electric co-op gives us a reduced rate of 7.5 cents per kw on both heat and AC which works out to about $1.00 per...

    Fuel pump issue

    Quite often especially in automotive the modules are powered constantly and the PCM/ECU provides the ground to energize the module. Not sure if this will help you in this case?

    Starter spins but does not engage flywheel

    Had a neighbor with a Polaris ATV with similar problem. After two batteries plus a new starter I reversed his battery cables and instantly the starter bendix engaged. It was running backwards and could not activate starter drive in reverse.

    Here's the fine print I ran into...retired July 2022 and used an exchange plan in Wisconsin to bridge me to April 1st 2023 when I qualified for Medicare.
