Well it isn't pretty has a few leaks that need fixed and just a whole lot of TLC but has the same US made Koyker loader, has the canopy, ~6-800/lb wheel weights and has the two remotes installed, also bought the Schulte 84" HD Blower but may sell it going into winter and split the profit...

9000 BTU SEER2 24 Mini split for a room in the house that stays too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter. Also a multi use A/C charge and vacuum kit to get it installed. Next, possibly a spare parts Rhino 554 tractor for my existing Rhino 554 tractor that just keeps chugging...

Uh, UIAM ALL ISB Inline 6 Cummins are considered Medium Duty Engines already. New reports RAM HD's will get the New B7.2 Cummins inline 6 in 2027 Not sure about going with OHC on either but the Octanes numbers are impressive and hard to argue with for low end torque...

What is the % of all produced Cummins inlines?? Wow in other News GM truck owners get screwed, in GM lawsuit being "decertified" concerning the 8 speed, and the 10 speed may be next. Nate lets them have it.

From most of the new reports this is related to poor machining tolerances, surface finishing protocols and lack of pre assembly flushing. The design is sound. I have not seen any recent rod failures that were not a direct result of poor rod bearing -crank machining/clearances and finish...

Sold the skid steer as well, much happier with a 55HP tractor and a 60HP TLB

Well my X500 was not so lucky before I acquired it. Lucky it was not in 3 pieces instead of basically 2, adding the Factory JD brush guard did cure some of what must have caused the cracks on top but still does not explain the lower broken ears where they meet the foot pads. Time and...

Well if we live long enough I would love to see a 3033r at 30+ years of continual use. Just passed 32 Years on my China Shanghai Rhino and less than a week ago it was needed to unload a 3600lb pallet of 80lb. bags of concrete for a deck (piers) we are having a crew build. I was almost able...

YEP, I pulled a good sized trailer stacked with firewood more than a few times with the Gilson /Peerless manual trans and the MTD (Eaton Tecumseh Hydro) but; From reports on here was told it is a very bad idea to try it with the much newer JD X500 and it's " Medium duty - ground...

yep, Still using the Gilson lawn tractor my grandpa bought new in 1976, No plastic gears in the Peerless transmission, and the 180* opposed 16 HP Briggs I/C twin is a very smooth runner and has never burned oil. The Deere X 500 will out cut it, but for tight work with a 42 " cut we still...

I gave up and started drilling a small hole opposite the spout in the pale cover, just have to drill slow and grab the plastic shards. The glug can make a mess and even splash back into the face. Works OK if the oil is stored out of the weather.

Cummins engines in RAM trucks during certain years do employ an electronically controlled throttle valve. When they fail in the closed condition lets just say drivability goes out the window. Never heard of engine cloaking, have heard of coking. Tear down some hi mile engines, and gas or...

Maybe, I thought I overpaid to have a full pallet of solar panels shipped from Texas to n Idaho @$400, almost 2000lb shipped ~ 2500 miles. It was cheap compared to the steel for the ground mount, shorter distance and less weight but they charged $2500. I think some sellers do make "extra" on...

No Not water in hydraulic oil, but did have a similar what is up with this oil recently. Changing oil on FIL's Kubota diesel powered mower. Started pouring in oil from his jug of Delo 15W - 40 and thought wait a minute this looks like dirty used oil. To be sure went to town and bought some...
