Have you tried the dealer? Otherwise, just Google the tire size.

Sounds like the compression release took a holiday. It could be a mechanical release as part of the cam or the cam itself broke. Check to see if the valves move up and down when you turn the engine (by hand). Also make sure the push rods are on/in the rocker pockets.

You don't say where you are or the type of ground you want to till. If you're tilling sand, a six footer will work. If you're tilling hard clay, only dynamite will work.

That's why you only read 30-40psi. The P port is the pressure Input to the valve. Teeing on that port will only have "Return" pressure until the valve is activated to send pressure to something through one of the Output ports. That something must Also be locked, blocked or at full extension to...

They used to be. I have one of their bit stands from the 60s somewhere. I could never afford them. That would be one way to tell. If you paid less than $20 for the bit, you're taking a chance. They may have down graded the steel. I remember when you couldn't buy them in a store. You had to order...

30-40 psi is typically a return to tank pressure. You're not teed off the correct line or you're teed on the down-stream or open center port. Teeing off a pressure line to a cylinder will not give you a valid pressure either until that cylinder is at the end of travel. At that point, you should...

Well, I know you haven't bought any drills bits in over 30 years then. Cleveland Twist and Chicago Latrobe were bought out in 1995 by Greenfield. :rolleyes:

I've done that many times and as you say, the results can be inconsistent. Many times the price will go up. I just delete it from my cart and in less than a week (typically) the item price will be lowered. It works better (sometimes) to just place it in a list. I have eight or nine lists for...

A grapple was the first to come to my mind. Or a hay bail clamp, two way bucket or angle plow. I'm sure there's more. I don't know what you do with your tractor.

If your tractor has draft control, that being on can also slow movement of the 3Ph. But yeah, that turtle can cause problems sometimes too. ;)

In my new (last year) flail mower, I used 75/140 full synthetic. It came in a "bag" with a spout that was easy to install. It took one quart. I use 75/140 because it's typically hotter here than anywhere else in world except maybe the Sahara Desert. :rolleyes: The 75W allows full lubrication...

That's a common misconception. Ethanol itself does not gum up anything. In fact, it's a cleaner for fuel systems. Most all fuel system "cleaners in a bottle" are alcohol of some kind--Read the SDS. The stronger the alcohol, the stronger the cleaning. Gumming comes from the gasoline by...

I bought new pour spouts for all my new gas and diesel jugs. Drilled a 1/2" hole in the jugs and added the vent in all of them too. This is not the ones I got but it's an example of what's out there.

It shouldn't be hard to add a third function to that tractor. If it has a loader, it should have come with that option. :oops: Having the forward and reverse is definitely a plus. Watch buying pieces though. The hydraulic one above uses hex-drive bits. Most everybody else uses square. You may...

You can get that size at Walmart for less than $200 each for M/T tires. The metric size would be something like 315/75R15. The difference may be the rated ply. As long as you're not driving over rocks or stickers, they should be fine. I just bought some Goodyear Wranglers for my truck for less...
