TVA is also revenue neutral. It is funded by its energy sales. Being revenue neutral also means less congressional oversight.

I worked briefly in PA. The township where I was living had a 1% income tax, but if your employer was located outside the township, they were not required to withhold it from your pay. You were required to register and pay the tax directly to the township. It kinda made paying the 1% township...

I’m not sure I understand the concern about debris floating down stream. Weren’t they floating downstream when they got lodged where they are now?

If you don’t have to actually remove ALL the debris, a grapple hook on the and of a small cable could be tossed from the bank and then pulled with a winch, truck or ATV to dislodge the debris. Some debris could be retrieved and hauled off. Some would likely float away down stream. If it’s to...

Maybe outside your expertise but some problems can be solved with the simple application of explosives.

That’s only a little over $102,000 for every man, woman, and child in the country.

The solution your mother wants does not seem to be available without a trip to Canada. Unlikely the higher up will give a different response. Banks are very good at following the applicable law and their business protocols.

One solution could be to open an account at a bank where your mother now lives and transfer the funds there from the Canadian bank. Don’t continue to do business with a business that makes it difficult.

I would consider that more a choice of how they conduct business rather than financial situation. That is nothing new. I can understandyour concern.

Mostly, we don’t have a problem with Fedex, UPS, Amozon, or USPS deliveries. On a few occasions, both UPS and Amazon have left packages near our gate (our gravel driveway is about 800 feet long with a circle at the end). Our gate is never shut or locked. The few problems have always been near...

It has never been a problem in our 40+ year old septic system. I have never heard of this being an issue. Googling the most common septic tank problems. Lint accumulation is not on any of the lists.

Why?

The Work Shop Manual for your machine might provide you some troubleshooting and repair solutions.

I would start with the electrical system and then then diagram, switches.

Messicks.

Why? Because it’s a Deutz!!

Have you considered a winch driven directly by the pto. A pto driven winch works well for prolonged heavy duty winching. Your engine has plenty of power, even when idling. There are no alternators, voltage regulators, electric motors, or cabling to overheat and the gearbox and throttle can...

I believe you are correct in that it does not matter other than to reverse the operation of the 3rd function switch. A correctly configured 3rd function would have the QDs installed in opposite directions so there would only be one way to make the connections.

Have you looked in the Workshop Service Manual? They usually provide troubleshooting steps.

It depends on what you mean by “help the main level stay warm.” To keep the main level from loosing ANY heat to the basement, the basement would have to be kept at the same temp as the main level. Some heat loss will occur with any difference in temp. The rate of heat loss is dependent on the...

The backhoe for the 2320 is a BH65. The backhoe for the 2301 is a BH70. i quick comparison of the subframe mounts on the Messicks website indicate they have different part numbers and do not appear to be compatible.

Unlikely the OP still needs this info since this thread is over 10 years old.

None of the couple of dozen businesses I do business with are VoIP. Likely because cellular services are readily available and are also much cheaper than landlines.

Can’t help with your questions but VoIP numbers appear to be the preferred type of phone number for scammers and robocalls. VoIP phone numbers are relatively easy to fake. And the caller ID information can be easily manipulated.

Pipe bursting appears to be pretty darn expensive. Locally quoted as between $60 and $250 PER FOOT.

Sounds like a lot of rural areas around here 50 years or so ago. Your mail person may not even know where your house is, just where your box is. Does your box have a street address or just a route and box number?

Our Amazon, FedEx, and UPS drivers usually leave packages on our front porch. Our USPS person does the same if the package won’t fit in our maibox. If the USPS brings a package to the porch they usually drop the mail off there with it. We have had on a very few occasions where packages were...

Here is schematic for the L48 starting system.

The Messicks site is helpful but incomplete. Any one who want to or needs to work on there own machine should avail themselves of the info in the WSM for their machine. The wiring schematic and troubleshooting procedures are contained therein. Otherwise one is just a parts replacer vs being a...

If it is like my L3240 there is a slow blow fuse in the glow plug relay circuit. Another useful tidbit that shows up in the wiring diagram (in the WSM) for your machine.

Original design was also deficient in that it would only support 60% of the building codes required load.

For the truss in this thread there is little evidence of the fabricator modifying its design or that an original design ever existed. It may have been just constructed.

I have heard of it and studied it. There is little similarity other than a faulty design although it is not clear that the truss actually even had an engineered design. BTW, the Hyatt event involved elevated walkways, not balconies.

Interesting, since even type M copper tubing has a working pressure rating of over 280 psi (1 in diameter). Even 3 in diameter has a working rating of over 200 psi.

I have experienced one leak in in copper tubing in over 70 years. That leak was in a rental house that was not adequately insulated with an outside temp of 10 deg F.

There is mail order. https://www.messicks.com/part/ma-mm436057

It’s unlikey the radiator cap is your problem. If is is not leaking and the radiator and/or hoses have not blown due to overpressure, it is doing it’s job. You could remove the thermostat and see if that solves your block overheating issue, before buying a new one.

Depends on the neighborhood. Popularity is not a great indicator of quality, only of cost.

Installation quality would have nothing to do with water quality. It does reflect on owners and builders intelligence though. 😃😃

Properly installed PEX is ok for RVs and mobile homes that don’t have a long life expectancy anyway. I would never use it in a permanent home. Copper is more expensive but will last much longer (70+ years) if installed properly.

How about some more info? Which mower? Which belt?

If you have a large enough property, your best tree clearing solution would be renting a dozier. A dozier can easily out perform a tractor for land clearing.

IMO the biggest weakness in the truss is the lack of gussett plates. The truss is secured at the joints by what appears to a few bolts. At the outside joint the forces are being applied in line with the grain, causing the bottom chord to split and then crack.

Ten feet apart might be ok for properly designed, constructed, and supported trusses. The one in this post does not meet that criteria.

Good idea, although based on the picture in post no. 8, the entire building appears to be lacking in verticle support at the walls as well as spacing between the end and center truss. Unlikely this building meets the building code.

Upward lift alone on the rafter does not appear to constrain the horizontal force of the rafter. The broken beam in tension constrains the horizontal force (inherent strength of a triangle) The upward force is provided by the vertical post.

This link might be helpful. Based on your initial questions it might be prudent to have the 3rd function installed by your dealer. https://www.everythingattachments.com/Tractor-Loader-3rd-Function-Hydraulic-Vavle-Kit-s/10178.htm

A third function uses hydraulic valves to operate. I can’t tell for sure from the pic but it does not look like you have a third function setup. A grapple uses cylinders to open and close. The saws use a hydraulic motor. Your machine may not have sufficient hydraulic flow to operate a...

Because they are a PITA.

The heading to the OPs post includes ”Oil Spray from Exhaust Pipe?” The post itself stated “it appears to be oil.” That seems pretty specific. Oil spray out of an exhaust is not unheard of but IMO it is not normal.

It is NOT normal.

You lose the bet. The length of the tracks on Cat 299D in contact with the ground is less than 6 ft.

That depends entirely on where the OP is located. Non-public access bridges are not regulated at all in many locations. A culvert with overfill is unlikely to require a permit or much, if any, engineering.

The load capacity of the concrete between the I beams is likely the weak point. If the tracks of the Cat are substantially over the I beams you are likely ok. If they are not, the concrete itself might not support the weight. If you go the cribbing route, be sure to support the concrete...

Disconnecting the battery de-energized the shutdown solenoid and it shutoff fuel flow. The solenoid worked as it should.

Had a neighbor where both husband and wife drove semis. They had lots of experience being cut off by the little 4 wheelers. The husband recounted one time where he was cut off like the OP at an exit ramp. He admitted that he didn’t apply his brakes as hard as he could. He realized he was...

My 2017 Silverado had much less damage than that in a “minor“ accident in a parking lot. Just some lighting, a fender, and bumper damage. Cost over $8k to repair. Them parts are very expensive.

Most load controllers have that capability. But you have to do it manually. Not much time to do that in an emergency braking situation. A properly adjusted controller will still lock up the brakes on the trailer if your standing on the brake pedal in the tow vehicle. None-the-less, the OP...

The OP stated the trailer brakes worked fine.

Dash cam for sure! They serve many useful purposes, particularly when towing.

That math is pretty simple. It also ignores everything that doesn‘t involve mowing in a straight line.

At 4 mph, and a full 7 ft cut with a field 7 ft wide by 41.26 miles long, it would take 10.34 hours.

Other than a SWAG, IMO there are way to many variables to consider. Flat, hilly, smooth vs rough, propery shape, contiguous, obstructions, type of material to be cut, tractors turning radius, etc.

Diesel engines, particularly railroad (RR) engines, have been know to start fires due to there exhaust spewing hot diesel fuel out. We had about a 6 mile long fire running along a RR line located behind our home when we lived in TN. According to our neighbor, who retired from the RR, it was not...

Thanks!! I think you have hit the nail on the head. I was unaware the pto is engaged by a cable. The service manual is just not that clear. After your suggestion, I went digging in the parts manual and found the PTO cable diagram.

I DO have the service manual. It is of little help. It points to either a failure of the engine tach sensor or wiring harness from the tach sensor. The tach is working fine.

The switch itself at the PTO lever IS working. That switch turns the PTO on and off and the PTO is engaging and working. The switch has one set of contacts and only two wires. The wiring connected from this switch is pretty complex and clearly does more that just turn the PTO on and off...

I thought about that but the wiring schematic does NOT show any PTO speed sensor. The service manual indicates the PTO speed indication is derived from the engine tach sensor. The engine tach IS displaying engine RPMs.

The IntellDisplay on my L3240 HST is not indicating the PTOs RPMs. The PTO is operating just fine and I can control its speed with the engine rpms. The problem has existed sporadically for several years with the display starting to work several minutes after the PTO is engaged. Recently, the...

First rule of working on a machine. If you are not familiar with how to put it back together, take lots of pictures before you take it apart. You’ll have far fewer parts leftover when you are done.

Makes little sense to give them your money without knowing and specifying in the purchase contract when the machine would be delivered.

I see no reason why you damage your 1250. I use a 6 ft Woods Brushbull with my Kubota L 3240. It has slightly less hp than your machine and works just fine. I cut heavy grass and weeds with the occasional small sampling. It may bog down some but unlikely to damage anything.

Here we go again! Another johnny come lately that hassn’t read the previous posts before jumping in with both feet!

I’ve never seen a fuse in the supply line from the battery to the starter. 40 A would never work in that circuit.

You could try swapping the old solenoid if you want. Solenoids seem to fail much more often than the starter motor itself. The clunk you heard would the solenoid moving the starter drive into engagement with the flywheel. Likely the internal contacts in the solenoid are not making good enough...

Not familiar with your exact machine. If the blown fuse is between the starter and the switch it supplies current to the solenoid, not the starter itself. Likely an internal short in the solenoid. Suggest replacing it.

Helicoil.

He said he was in the legal field. That could mean many things.

Did you notice the OP‘s occupation?

Without disclosing you location, roughly how far are you from the dealer?

Unclear why you think this. Maybe I’m just confused but I see no discrepancy here. The OPS Sept 9 post indicates he made his decision on which machine. His Sept 16 post indicates it arrived.

Did you see his message count?

What difference does it make that I commented on his location?

I may have just missed it earlier, but it appears the OP recently updated his profile to include his location (NYC). Other than maybe working in Central Park, what the heck is someone doing with a 100 hp tractor in NYC?

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. That would be a more perfect world. But as your own experience indicates, it’s not the one we live in or are not likely to on this side of the pearly gates. Assuming the best of someone you don’t know well will often lead to disappointment.

That carburetor will be very hard to find parts for.

As do I. As well as in personal dealings. However I do not count on anyone I do not know well to always behave that way. As our former President Ronald Reagan said, “Trust but verify.” I don’t believe in the tooth fairy either.

That sounds like you are making an assumption. Better to ask that be sorry later. You know what they say about “assume” don’t you?

It’s pretty obvious why the hour meter indication is important. Your previous post indicated you HAD seen ads that noted the hour meter was NOT working so you would know that is a possibility. The common law doctrine of Caveat Emptor is still a good practice.

If I were going to make that drive and a working hour meter was that important, likely it would be a good question to ask beforehand.

The dealer had no culpability if they did NOT know the meter did not work. I doubt they had a legal responsibity to verify its operation. From their apparrent wiilingness to fairly resolve the issue I suspect they did NOT know. Perhaps they should have checked if it was working. Perhaps the...

My fear would have been been just too great to bet $30k sight unseen on a used machine regardless of the hours it had.

Unlikely to have a tube since it is a new machine. A quick check on the Messicks web site does not even list a part for a rear wheel tube. Your dealer would know if they have tubes from the factory and they can also load the rear tires for you.

One has to wonder if the OP would have been happy with his purchase if the hour meter was working.

If the dealer and/or any of his employees have been following this thread, they may be loaded for bear when the call comes in.

If the tach itself still works then the problem is likely an internal gear is worn out (probably nylon or plastic). Unlikely to find that part. If the tach still works a 12 volt elapsed time (Hobbs) clock could provide a similar function and is much less expensive than the oem replacement...

Cars that can go 200+ miles per hour don’t usually worry about a slow leak. The tires on such vehicles also likely get changed much more often than those on my tractors or my other vehicles. It IS much faster to plug than to patch. That is a given. That is why some tire places will only...

I think TYM now owns Kukje machinery. So I would expect some, if not all, TYM tractors would have the Kukje engine technology.

Tire plugs are ok if you can’t or don’t won’t to dismount and remount the tire from the rim. In my experience, plugs will almost always leak. Properly applied patches seldom do.

Your ingenuity is impressive! So is you assortment of clamps. I would not have replaced the plugs. Once you got the tire off the rim it would be simple to patch them from the inside.

It’s likely just a 12 volt elapsed time clock. New one from Kubota runs about $150. Generic ones are available on Amazon for much much less (<$20).

We learned that in 8th grade drivers training class.

If the Feds are involved it is likely FUBAR.

Do you have the parts manual and service manual for you machine? The manuals for my MF 265 show a lot detail on the injection pump‘s construction.

Your pump flow is just a little over 5 gpm. That in itself is unlikely to run a sweeper broom. Tractor hydraulics are sized to operated the three point hitch, hydraulic cylinders, and maybe supply power steering. Hydraulic motors require much more flow.

My 63 David Brown 990 could run just fine with absolutely no electrical whatsoever other that the starter. Only had to use my truck battery to jump start it. Same with my MF 265. Starter is needed to start it but nothing electrical is needed for it to run and work.

You could try to locate a machine being salvaged.

I never bussed the bags myself but I did occasionally buy at the commissary. It was usually pretty obvious when the customer was standing outside with money in their hand while groceries are being loaded vs sitting in the car and waiting for the groceries to be loaded.

I have a good friend who did that as a teen. He freely admitted that bad tippers or no tippers might get loaf bread squashed and/or some eggs got cracked.

Unanswerable? Here? Ha!

Also 5th wheels usually will have between 20% - 25 % of the trailers weight on the pin. That means will have between about 2600 lbs and 3200 lbs on the pin. Be sure to consider the rear axles weight rating (usually on a decal somewhere around the drivers side b pillar) and the rating of the tires.

You must also consider the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR). GCWR is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversions. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be exceeded. The GCWR for you vehicle is likely...

Is your home’s internal wiring from breaker box to loads wired with aluminum conductors? Many homes built in the 1960s thru the mid 1970s have aluminum internal wiring.

Southern Farm Supply in Union Grove, NC purchased about 40 pallets of Howse Parts when Howse was being liquidated back in 2017. That maybe why the Howse website is still there. You could try them for parts if you can’t solve your issue otherwise.

Your project is almost identical to one I had done over 20 years ago. I did not do it myself but paid close attention to the work that was done. The area had been cleared, flattened, and leveled (supposedly) prior to the form work. The area was laid out using 2x4 corner posts and string pulls...

I’m just not as smart as some folks. I just tend to follow the recommendations of the OEM suppliers regarding lubricants and maintenance practices.

There are many reason other than not foaming that requires high quality hydraulic fluid. HSTs and wet brakes are far more unforgiving than simple geared machines.

The OP’s machine is a Kubota BX1800 has both wet brakes and an HST. The recommended fluid is Kubota UDT or Super UDT. They are not a cheaper grade of oil.

Likely ok as is. But changing filter and fluid won’t hurt anything other than your wallet.

Hard to believe condensation alone can account for enough water to turn the lubricant milky.

Ours is set at 50% RH. That’s about as low as it can be set. During cooler months the RH is typically less than that, but 50% RH is comfortable and the paper in my printer in office downstairs does not swell and jam the priter.

If the first floor is very well insulated on all exterior surfaces including windows and doors, you may be able to lower the temperature somewhat by circulation the basement air to the first floor. But the fact it has an oil fired furnace would indicate that level of insulation is unlikely...

If the basement is substantially below grade, it is unlikely your ac ran very much. The dehumidifier likely ran the most. AC units are excellent for removing humidity but don’t run unless the temp in the conditioned space is below the thermostats setpoint. Conditioned spaces below grade have...

As previously discussed, the cooling of the air to remove the water vapor involves substatial latent heat (970 BTUs/pint) removed in the change of phase. That heat is then returned to the conditioned space. In addition the energy consumed to run the dehumidifier is also released as heat into...

While it may improve the cooling capabilty of the ac unit, operation of the dehumidifier adds heat to the conditioned space that then has to be removed by the ac. The dehumidifier cools the air to condense the water vapor but then returns that heat energy plus the energy consumed by operating...

Isolate the pump discharge from any downstream flowpath including the pressure tank. A centrifugal pump with no flow path is doing very little work compared to the work it does with an open flow path. It’s the closest one can get to no load Condition.

I know nothing about your specific machine but bleeding the air out of the fuel lines is likely your solution. Once air gets into the injector lines it just keeps getting compressed and can’t pop the injectors. Your operators manual should provide you the info to do it.
