    backhoe fluid change

    So, I changed the tractor hydraulic fluid on my tractor, but did it when the backhoe was out disconnected. I hate the idea of now hooking up my backhoe with its old dirty oil to my tractor with new clean oil. Besides, don稚 worry it doesn稚 matter, does anyone have some good idea how to easily...

    old oil in backhoe

    So I changed my common sump hydraulic fluid back in the winter on my massy 1540. My problem is, the backhoe wasn稚 on. I now want to use the backhoe, but if I attach it, I connect all the old oil in the backhoe, in my new oil in the tractor. I know, it is not a big deal, but I would like to get...

Sure would be nice if they would special them individually...

    Dangers of driving backwards

    I usually try to do things 'right'. So I'm going backward on my trail because I don't have a close place to change directions. I'm keeping a lose eye on where I'm going/where I've been, and I'm going slower than I would go forward...to be safe. Next thing I know, I have a 1-1/2" "sapling" tree...
