    Lawn Sweeper

    I have an AgriFab 52" sweeper. It works quite well. It cannot have the brushes set to close to the ground or it will not work as well as it is capable of.

    Would You Loan It Out?

    I always tell anyone wanting borrow or have me do something with my tractor -- Sorry, I don't have any insurance on it or myself. Just think if your neighbor or someone else got tangled up in that tiller while it was running. You could lose everything you own in a lawsuit.

Because I read in another forum that the oil needs to be replaced on the negative pressure side of the thumb cylinder to prevent cavitation.

    Mini excavator thumb - relief valve question

    Would your "local hydraulics shop" happen to sell that valve on the internet ? I have searched quite a bit on the internet and cannot find anywhere in North America that sells them. I need one that has 1/2" or SAE 8 ports.

    ROcHE1234 ; Could you post a close up photo of that relief valve ? Or, perhaps the part number. I couldn't locate it on the Walvoil site.

    Is this what a tire plug looks like?

    This is the only tire plug that will never leak. The dealer may have put tube in your tire because it may have unseen damage inside of it. It is not unusual to insert a wick type plug at a different angle than the puncture and that creates another hole inside the tire for air to escape.
