Good Evening, I am seeking a fuel system diagram for an M7950 DT (or similar model). The non-OEM (scanned version) of the service manual does not seem to have one. This machine has a water separator, a priming pump and a fuel filter. I am reluctant to cut away the strapping on the bundles to...

The wife brought the mower back to the shop with a hand full of V-Belt parts from our triple bagger attachment. It has a "fan" that blows the clippings into the bagger. I have a belt part number but can not find the proper length it was before it broke and she drove over it. Husqvarna part...

Good Morning. Anyone have any good ideas about cleaning spilled diesel off gravel driveways? Thanks, Bob

Due to a severe fuel leak, the beast must be towed off the field to the shop. Is there going to be any steering or brakes available on the dead tractor?

Neighbor has a Kubota M7950DT with fuel spraying out of what looks like a gasket on the right hand side of engine, to the rear. There is a shiny box with the word DELPHI embossed and in the upper left, a white gasket can be seen, (it has an un-even edge). Fuel sprays out at this gasket location...

Good Morning, I have a 10 year old Bush Hog SQ600 rotary cutter that has some slop/play at the hub, where it interfaces with the gear box splined output shaft. Is this a normal, fair wear and tear type event for this age and does anyone know how much is too much before replacing the hub? The...

I am looking for info regarding the size tractor required to pull a loaded hay wagon. Is there a general understanding, such as HP per foot of wagon or number of bales, tons of hay, etc? What about braking considerations? Thanks

My old C I/H 574 (circa 1972), has had wiring work done by previous owner(s). I have the wiring dia but do not see the correct cable sizing for the main battery cables, (both +ve and -ve). In fact, my machine has two different size cables. The +ve is 0.549 with insulation and 0.483 on the bare...

I am confused by the sizing/model numbers of the Kubota Excavators. Is there a decoder ring that would guide me to finding the right size of machine for what I want to do. Mainly interested in cleaning up my fence lines around 137 acres, removing some hedge rows, shifting the stumps that might...

Is there any appreciable cutting advantage of one size chain over the other? Let us assume the same saw power head (regardless of brand or engine size), length and using 0.58 gauge as a base.

I have an Arctic Cat ATV that needs a new brake caliper and was wondering how common are these parts between major mfrs? I would think a 6" or 8" disc would use similar parts regardless of the brand, may even all get made at same factory, just re-badged for each ATV Mfr.

Anyone have any good uses for fireplace ash?

My keyboard is awash in drool after having just gotten back from the Plowing Match near my home. There is over 100 acres of new machines and events with most major and many minor equipment manufacturers represented. Most tractor brands had the full spectrum of machines on-site, from the SCUTs on...

Hi My 2006 DK35 had a fuel leak, only when running), the plastic fuel bowl has many small cracks. I shut down the engine as soon as I discovered the source and then shut the isolation petcock. Hope to replace today, question is: will the fuel system need purging?

We did our first collection of sap yesterday. Not a good run so far. The reported temps were okay, (-6c the previous night and +5c yesterday afternoon). Today, it is not good weather for sap running as it stayed above freezing last night and starting to drop to below freezing this morning with...

We are having a bit of winter here, started with enough snow to warrant clearing but freezing rain is now falling with rain imminent. More snow is expected to follow, (later?). Today, I have elected to wait for the rain to stop, clean up what is left. Clearing before the rain would leave hard...

Good Morning. Anyone have any first hand knowledge or experience (good or bad) with either of these models that would help me decide between the two? Thanks.

Hi. I am having trouble keeping my chain tensioned correctly. The "tool-less" tensioner system will tighten chain but after 1 cut, seems chain is loose again, regardless of how tight you turned in the main knob after setting tensioner thumbwheel sets the correct chain tension. Thank You in...

Always seems to happen after the Kioti shop is closed. The hose to the loader control valve (4way joy stick) burst this afternoon. Looks to have been chaffing at the bend upward from bottom of the tractor going up to the control valve. I shut off the engine after raising the bucket and rear...

The PTO on my 2006 DK35 (Gear) does not turn when selected, either in Man or Auto. I tried in auto with position and draft levers in every conceivable placement. I get the red PTO light on in Man/Auto but the PTO shaft is not turning, I tested the fuse correct, tested safety function, (won't...

Good Morning Does anyone have any experience with a firewood processor? I have been looking at some Wallensteins, (WP 600 or WP 800 series), sure seem like a good idea (now that we are empty-nesters). Anyone have any other brand experiences? I am currently doing about 7-10 full cords, I could...

How ofton should the chain drive sprocket be changed on a Husqvarna 450e? Is there a scheduled change required? Is there an indication it needs changing?

Hi I broke the plastic chain brake handle. Is this as simple as swapping it out or will it activate the brake when I unscrew it? Will I need any special tools or knowledge if the brake shifts while changing the plastic part? Any help would be appreciated.

This buck has started hanging around lately. Hope he is still here in Oct.

I have found a small drip on the back of the left edge of my fuel tank. It is the saddle type tank with a flange bolted to the fenders and it appears to have a gasket fitted in between the flange and the fender. I have down-loaded the parts diagram from Messicks, (very helpful). The service...

My DK35, every now and then, blows the orange rubber cap off the oil filler tube (located just below the alternator) resulting in quite a mess. The rubber plug is "ribbed" but the tube is not. Is this meant as some form of over-pressure relief? I see another rubber tube running from the valve...

I usually clear the snow from my tractor tents/garages after every storm. This one did not make it. We had a nasty storm over three days which included rain, freezing rain and then snow (40cm). Fortunately, this one only had the backhoe in it and my tractors were in my two other tents that...

It's a bit early here, but young bucks seem to be sparring already. Also found some rubs. Early bow season here starts 01 Oct. This is in my 2ac clover/alfalfa main food plot.

1. Why do I get this message "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts" in the forums under the search filter "NEW POSTS" even though I always use the "Mark as Read" after every session? 2. How do I stop it. When I filter by NEW POSTS, I...

My White 17 HP (B&S Engine and elect PTO to mower) blows it's fuse when trying to re-start after use. Starts great when cold but instant fuse blow if restarted while engine is hot. Checked all safety switches in correct position, working, no visible chaffing of wire looms or bad grounds found...

Sadly, here in eastern Ontario, the maple season is over (at least for me). The buds are out, sap has all but stopped and what does flow is weaker (barely 2), seems to be either cloudy or yellowish. I am now taking apart my gear for end-season cleaning and storgae. It was a very poor year, made...

I am in the habit of using "mark posts as read" so that next visit, I can just click on posts since last visit. Sometimes, not always, I find a segment at the end of the new posts that are labelled: The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts...

Can anyone tell me which model of NA (i.e AC Delco) alternator would fit the IH 574? I have a Lucas on it now and am considering a winter project to completely re-wire and modernize the beast. Currently, only batt and starter works and all wiring has been "messed" with by previous owner(s). Many...

Deer season for bow opens tomorrow in our zone, hope to reap the rewards of my food plot work.

Here is a visitor to my new food plot. Put the seeds in about mid-June and this picture taken on 21 Aug 2011.

Is there a simple way to test if fuel has been mixed with 2 stroke oil? I have a jerry can but do not know if mixed or not. Will it stratify if left sitting?

It just broke. Was lifting with medium sized load on FEL while stopped, heard a clunk and tractor dipped to starboard. Parts on order and repair should be done by weekend.

I am having a problem with my Ranger, seems to be with AWD system. When running in normal or 2WD, without selecting AWD, appears like the left front wheel "engages". Steering becomes difficult. Had some success freeing up when reversed in normal or 2WD and then went forward again but now does...

Can anyone help me find a wiring diagram for a White Lawn Tractor, Model L-170AD ? Blown fuse research found a number of wires not used, dead-ended in harness. I bought this new in 2001 so has not been "modified". I assume they were intended for options I did not get with this model??? I have...

My 2006 Arctic Cat 400 FIS has no drive, meaning engine runs, no unusual noises, no fluids leaking out but won't drive the wheels in any gear (Hi, Lo or Reverse). I am guessing belt or possibly clutch issues. Any hints or suggestions before I rip it apart would be greatly appreciated.

Had a problem with my C/IH 574 hyd system, 3pth was "shuddering", also FEL not working and steering assist not working (well). The PTO and transmission did not seem to be affected. Based on suggestions I found using search on this forum, solved the problem. My screen that is inside the...

Hi; Looking for info on first hand experiences with the various food plot seeds available on the market, (i.e. Rackstacker, Biologic, Imperial) when used in the eastern Ontario areas. Specificly, what works, doesn't work, recommendations and suggestions. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

I have a 4yr old DK 35 that has an oranged colored oil fill cap below the alt. It has now popped off twice recently, leaving nasty oil splatter. The rubber plug cap has threads but the tube it plugs does not have any, seems like just a press fit. In the owners manual, it is labelled as oil dip...

Hi Anyone have any experience with fixing a speedometer on a 2007 Polaris Ranger 700 EFI (HD). Mine no longer indicates speed but rest of display works as does 4x4. Any hints on where to start looking (i.e. sensor location, test points and values, circuit wiring diagram). Thank You and much...

Can anyone offer any thoughts why my MS 270 continues to rev at full rpm after releasing throttle? It (eventually) returns to idle and will slow down if chain touched to saw log as a load. Any tips for fixing this would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Has anyone experienced the removal of the steering cylinder on the C-IH 574 series tractors? I have a small drip now and want to prepare for the eventual fix. I have the parts manual available but am interested in how to remove from the tractor to change the seals. Particularly interested in...

I have planted a food plot this year and am looking for info about plot maintenance between now and deer season. I put in an alfalfa based hay mix as well as a cover crop of oats. This is intended as a deer field and do not need production from the plot so want to optimize for the fall. Some...

Hi I broke a plow point on my 3 furrow plow. I am told the plow is a John Deere model 416A of unkown vintage and that the point is a "Scotch Bottom" plow point type (?) with "DEERE BCA 484" stamped on back. There are two holes for fitting it to the plow. JD no longer stocks these items so I am...
