    CDL urine test question.

    Renewed my driver's license. Come to find out i am grandfathered in on the med card. So i kept my commercial license. Apparently I don't need the med card until I drive out of state? That was a surprise.

    Kubota RTV 520

    The kits and what not for it are designed well. there is some funny business when you go and add the cab doors. The biggest thing i do not understand is all the lost room under the hood. You put a windshield on forget about opening the hood regularly. there isn't much that you need to there...

    Cold weather starting

    well if that is what you have when it is working it will start when it is real cold! Fix it. Battery blanket. make sure fuel doesn't gel. As long as it turns over fast enough when it is cold with that system and it has fuel it will start.

    When we imply that all emission controls put on an engine "really" lower the over all emission output into said in environment I think is rather disingenuous. Anymore than saying, all emission controls on an engine are bad and they should "all" be removed. I am of the opinion "any type" of...

    Near as I can figure you need to make it look like that. The emulator box or what ever you want to call it plugs in and duplicates the DPF. I do not think you would know the dpf has been bypassed when you plug in with a diagnostic software. Or you would have to be specifically looking at the...

    What type hydraulic fluid is everyone using on their tractor

    UDT2 and they are proud of it. When i spoke to our oil supplier they checked and could not come up with a cross. Its in there best interest to find one and they said use the UDT2 so..... In the front end you can get away with changing but it doesn't take that much so why change.

    Thread sealants on NPT and others?

    As for Parker...... way back. A parker rep suggested we switch to Fel-pro 51454. It is a 250ml bottle. Had to go down to the tool box to check. Had it forever. We were having Teflon accumulate in the pressure compensator on there pump. When we switched it solved a lot of leak issues also. Some...

    Nothing. It basically falls on the owner he is the one that did it. Near as I can figure its like fire works in Wisconsin you can buy, them sell them, but its illegal to launch them. I would be more worried about the government getting his shipping records.

    I don't know of anyone that has had that happen on a car or truck. Let alone a tractor. I am sorry a dealer will take anything in trade. You may loose the money to bring it back to stock in it's value, but they'll take it in trade. That is only if they can figure out it has been deleted. Most...

    Alrighty, searched on the interweb. Looks like the Diagdiagnostics is Kubota's OEM software? If that is true, Then my guess is the version I am going to get isn't going to do much. Then what are the chances of the other software(s) doing the same thing. A glorified reader that gets them around...

    I hear you. But that is hard to do when everyone else is doing the same thing. It is a coin toss. Do you spend the time fixing the used stuff or buy newer and hope you get a few years of blissful trouble-free service. Either way you're fixing something. We bought the B3350 for the cab and...

    My doctor friend was wining about the technology changes and the changes in the medical field. I laughed at him, "all you have to do is learn two models and they don't change every year. His reply was, "well you don't have to work on yours while there running and they don't talk back" Got me there
