Make: Ryobi . I bought a battery (18v) drill and used it to drill 3/4" holes 12 - 14" through posts to fit gudgeons to hang farm gates. Problem: The batteries spot heated rapidly and lost charge quickly.( The hot spot was under the stalk that fits in the handle, and was almost too hot to touch)...

I am finding that when I open a picture in a thread to full size, when I hit the back (reverse) arrow, I get dumped back to thread index of what ever I am looking at (usually todays posts). I should be backing out of the picture to the thread the picture is in(single hit on the "back" arrow...

Hello all, I would like to know points to look for on a Ford 4610 or 6610 4X4 FEL. That is what are the common problem areas on these tractors? For example,Does the manifold have a drip hole to let water out so the water does not get into the head? I spotted one 3 years ago and it appeared...

Today I was greasing the truck and suddenly the jaws on the lock n lube would not open when I retracted the collar. Also when I could get it onto the zerk, it often leaked grease out the side due to a poor connection. I went and got another grease gun to finish the job. Has anyone had this...

I am in New Zealand. Here we use bumper pull trailers only. When setting up for a gooseneck, what size/length of vehicle deck do you need to avoid hitting the back of the cab? What else do you need to consider?

This tractor belonged to the dairy farmer neighbour at my parents place. It was a JD6330. It was not bird season, so an electrical fault is suspected

Where on this site are the instructions on how to upload photos?

Can someone explain the difference between a "goose-neck (gn)" and a 5th wheel please? Reading the various posts, it appears that they are 2 different hitch systems. What the U.S. members refer to as bumper pull is all I am familiar with.

A friend had a 6420 (2004/2005 model) with ivt. A solinoid failed , and as they are internal in the 20 series that was $6000 to replace a $200 part. 12 months later same problem, and $6000 bill. Has anyone run into this problem? There are 7 solinoids in the transmission. Is one best to replace...

I live in a "keep left" country and accelerated tyre wear on the outside 1/2 of the left front tyre is common ie bald outside and approx 25/30mm of tread on the inside. Tractors observed are contractors units. To those readers in keep "right countries". Do your tractors on high road use suffer...

Hello, can anyone offer advice on hunting down info /spec's on massey ferguson 50s industrial tractor? The model # has "50s" , NOT 50's decade. The letter part of 50s may not be accurate is that part of the plate was not clear. The year is firm, I was working for that company when the tractor...

JD6920: engine is cutting out on side slope(left only) when the fuel level is in the red zone but without the low fuel light coming on. The cutout point seems to be moving up the gauge. This has happened 4 times so far. The effect is like turning the key off while on the move. Instant no...
