I don’t think i would use anything like that. Just take it back off make sure it’s clean, and keep your fingers crossed

I agree with you on Andy. But I do business with AMSOIL and the people on the phones sometimes don’t have an idea their product. It’s just to sell

This was the first I had ever witnessed. I kept wondering how to grease the rollers with nu alimite Research told the tale but I think they are only on these vintage machines.

That’s it! I thought it might help somebody because I looked a while before I found it. I even ask the Cat dealer here and the young person who I was talking to did not have a clue as to what I was needing. On my Cat tractor I just have them on the big top rollers I think on both ends. My U...

I have seen people fix a gas tank leak like that. I understand it because soap want cut gas washing your hands. First time I seen it I thought the guy was crazy.

It called a Gaint button head fitting. It’s supposed to grease top roller on a tract style tractor. I guess it’s the only way to “lube” them. Some use heavy oil some use grease

Thanks that is an awsome suggestion. I believe in quality grease. I made a mistake that will take me a while to use up. I got a case of 10 tubes from AMSOIL. I think just the moly kind per his unprofessional recommendation. Live and learn sir is my motto. Again thanks. I have quit AMSOIL all...

Well it was a bottoming tap in a set from harbor freight. I think the drilling size is one sixtyforth bigger than a five sixteenth which is what I have. I wasn’t going to tell that and just see what posts I would get on here! So the problem is I don’t have proper stuff. And I trying something I...

If it’s under warranty I would stay out of it and make them fix it. It their job

Jonathan I had just about given up and ordered one with correct threads. You know how much trouble to sit down and order, especially one thing. Back to what I was doing….my shifter knob was broken on a little cat tractor I bought. One brand new came with it in a pack brand new. My shifter has...

Those windings probably don’t have enough resistance to read.

We need more. Hydrostatic drive?

My goodness. I guess your goal first is to get it down. And that means a trip to town and get some line wrenches and a cheater pipe. The maybe it. Will be easier to troubleshoot

If you are standing at the rear of the tractor, PTO engaged does the PTO turn the same direction as the engine? Thank you

Does anyone have a suggestion on where to find Caterpillar tractor parts. Aftermarket will be fine

Yea the old ones work that way. Starve it for air to shut it down

Hey pump guy sorry bout your tractor is that an older tractor? I have a 1080 mf it’s a 1979 model. You choke it to kill it. I do not know about the newer ones

It sounds like a bad meter to me. But I’ve never had a reason to work on one

So does mine

Big tiller you are most likely right. Ones I seen on eBay are expensive by my standards, for a knob. The hole size for a 3/8 fine thread is 21/64 bit I don’t think I own one. That’s a 64th bigger than a 5/16 which is what I have. And I’m having a problem getting my harbor freight bottoming tap...

Knowledge no. Strong opinion yes. I’ve owned Kubota for twenty years. It is proven to be great. Others I don’t see how they can beat Kubota. Good luck sir

Well I thank you for passing judgement on it. It’s either try something or just get another with proper threads. That thing is difficult to shift at times. We will see how well it serves the test of time. I’m improving the looks of this thing one step at a time and I love my dozer

Thank you number two. A little about my task. I needed a knob for my shifter on my d2 cat crawler. My stick is three eights fine threads. I found the ideal knob but didn’t notice it was course threads until I went to install it. So today I bought a tap set at harbor freight and I hope I can run...

My Kubota 4330 has a little thing down at the clutch pedal to hook and keep it down. Mine stays ohm the go all time

What kind of oil do I supposed to use to tap brass?

Fixer sorry if I offend you. My comment was sincere and not intended to offend you or ruffle you up. I have done a many a job an messed up something whlie doing it. I’ll try and remember not to comment on your posts and if my honesty and spelling are a problem to people on here I’ll sign off for...

Well I’ve had that notion several times. I’m 68 years old. They say only a fool never changes his mind. Well, my mind changes rapidly. Go to the coffee shop and someone say they put out to much grease. Any way I just don’t think I need one. It’s to easy and infrequent. Just be a new toy

Jjt I do to. And all mine are manual no battery. Some small ones. I tell my wife I like a variety

Sir I don’t know but I guess with the right tool and a big hammer it should come out. In short just keep on trying

Harry one thing about this forum is we don’t always hear the full story, and more importantly the end of the story. I had a vintage ford last year that would not hold prime. I been around the horn long enough to know exactly what the problem was. So I ordered a pump seal and a new wobble shaft...

I think the presence of air is the problem. And that could be something not tightened properly or a seal damaged or dirt allowing air to the system. In other words just do it over and see. What do you think? It was fine before the leak.

Harry my apologies if it is offensive. It’s just that I have done it a time or two. Keep me informed

In all sencerity I think you did something to it while working on the leak. It happened before

Best of Luck to you sir it looks like you are on your own. But the right guy may surface

Sounds like you are more knowledgeable about this than most

I love the deep red of the new Massey

What beautiful sites and what a wonderful life you must have making those dreams come true. I hope you enjoy every second you spend as you work on that. It will keep you young in body and mind. Good luck blessed sir

Alan really good info a pump is no job for an amateur. And a cylinder that size would have to go to a shop if it were mine. And if he fixes that cylinder there is a good chance his pump is good because it’s allowing air into the system. My take and I hope him a lot of fun doing it, as I would...

Sir I would fix the cylerder first. Then the pump might work right. Just a try

You are definitely on a roll! Good luck with the results

Raster if you’re happy that all that is important! Drive on

Rusty iron bear in mind it was running perfectly until he serviced it. Fuel is what he work on. That what I’m betting is wrong. Sucking air probably

Where I would start, since you changed the fuel filters is to simply check and re do all that. Then make sure no air is in there. Since you worked there, it where you will find your problem. No offense mean sir, it just my opinion

Yes sir that machine is strong enough to handle that width. And the machine is heavy enough to handle the weight of the bush hog. So in my opinion you made a great choice!

Stewart my I totally agree. I read what I’m thinking sometimes. I missed that part and I’ve never had one do that. I consider myself better than average at hydraulic problems.

I understand sir. well you might be right. They are similar. Should be enough posters on here to get a feel if one is of a lower quality than the rest. I know I am reading where komatsu is gaining ground on Caterpillar as far as quality goes

Yea it erks me on here when I do my best to help someone and get ignored

Lens may I ask, why use a “white” cover. I have a white German Shepherd

Well Jim I had thought that exact same. Now I wonder if it can be welded. Maybe shore it up with JB weld? If you could get the oil cleaned up
