I would like to buy a 50-75 gallon transfer tank and pump to use for both gas and diesel. Let me be clear.... not at the same time!! :) I have a small storage tank that is split, one half for gas and a half for diesel.... 75 gallons each. I would like to be able to fill it from fuel bought...

Hello all. I have a quick question. I just got a new set of Frontier Pallet forks for my 4710. I bought them on the pallet, not assembled. These are fixed forks, 48" long. The forks really fought me getting onto the carrier, and they slide side-to-side very hard. And yes, I am pulling the...

Hi all. Thanks for looking. My brother just bought a BX24 at an auction and it has no manual. Forgive my ignorance, but how in the heck do you turn the seat around to use the BH? Having a hard time figuring that one out. Or is it possible there is supposed to be another seat for the BH that...

Hello all. Thanks for your interest. I have a 2004 1/2 ton Suburban with the 5.3L engine and 3.73 gears. I have the stock hitch, rated to 5,000 lbs or 7,000 lbs with a weight distributing hitch. I would like to increase my towing ability without having to deal with a weight distributing...

I would like to seek the wisdom of the forum on a problem I had tonight. I was given a small wood burning stove by a family friend. They bought it during the 70's energy crisis and never installed it. It says "Fire Horse" on the door underneath three screw down dampers. Sat in their garage...

I'm sure this has been answered here, but a search didn't get me a good answer. I have access to a older home heating oil tank. It's still in a basement, and in good shape. House was converted long ago to natural gas. The tank as two threaded holes on top, as well as a smaller drain hole in...

Hi all. I was hoping the wisdom of the board would help me out. I would like to buy a metal detector, but of course don't want to spend a bundle. All I want to use it for is finding the buried rebar posts that were set to define land boundaries and corners around my property. I'm not going...

Hey all, quick question. Can you somehow dye a herbicide? I'm spraying with my ATV, and it's hard to tell what I've gotten covered. I was thinking if I could use food coloring or some other dye to temporarily color the herbicide, it would help a lot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

I just purchased a 7k lb. dump trailer to pull with my Suburban. When I took a look at the 2" ball I have, I saw it was only rated to 5k lbs. I asked the dealer I bought the trailer from about this, and he said I'd be ok. But it's still nagging me. I've looked around, and can't easily find a...

I bought a new Honda Foreman last fall, and it has sat for two months without use. Went out and tried to start it, no luck. I used the priming pump like the manual says, even shot a little starter fluid into the air intake. It fired, so I know I have spark. But it won't run. It does have...

Well, long story short, I think I need to replace the hood on my 4710. The hood has been hard to close for some time - really needing to put some effort into it. Finally put some grease on the mechanism to make it work easier. BUT, I noticed that I have cracked the hood where the hood meets...

I am interested in buying a used 48 backhoe for my 4710, mainly to avoid the ghastly cost of a new one. Was wondering if I can add all the mounting hardware and power beyond to my tractor myself. My brother is a grain farmer with a lot of machinery experience, and could help. But is this...

I need to sharpen up the blades on my MX6 cutter, but don't have a socket big enough to do it. So, to avoid going out and buying a whole set of really large sockets, would like to get the right size the first time. So does anybody know what size I need, metric or SAE?? And any advice for a...

I was using my landscape rake to pull limbs out of an area I had just cleared, and got a limb jambed up under the tractor. Crawled under to get it out, and found this (see attachment). This is on the left side of the tractor between the hydro filters and the rear axle. No fluid was coming...

Midwest Equipment says their implements are Catagory 1 quick hitch compatible. Does anybody know if that means all I need to do is add bushings to an implement and my I-Match will hook right up to it? Or will it be a little more involved than that. A guy about an hour away from me has a...

460 loader grease zert won\'t take grease Ok, need help. Been greasing my loader zerts every 10 hours, because I use it so much. Now one of the zerts won't take grease. I put the gun on it, and squeeze as hard as I can, and can't get it to go. So I pulled the zert, cleaned it up, and then...

Just did my first 50 hour service on my 4710. Got everthing done, except for the "Lubricate Lower Brake Pivot Tubes." I Greased the front end, and the 3PH, but can't find this in the book. Did a search with no luck. So what is this, where is this, and what do I do?? Everything else went...

I'm wondering if a landscape rake will help me with a project. I cleaning up an overgrown Christmas tree farm - 14 acres worth. Hasn't been taken care of in over ten years. There are open areas, but also several large stands. Many of the trees are dead or overgrown, and many need to come...

Well, my first full weekend with the new 4710, and I love it! Spent one day with the MX6 cutting, and one cutting trees and limbs, moving them, and building burn piles. The FEL is incredible. Except for the mud, it was a great time. But I do have a quick question. I read the manual, and it...

Oh Boy, It\'s Here, It\'s Here, It\'s Here!! Well, my new 4710 came today. Shipped over from JD Equipment without a problem. Very nice, and I got an added bonus. When the delivery guy was starting it up on the trailer, he pushed in the key like it had the cold-weather package. I told him I...

Hi all. First let me say that this is a great site. I've been browsing and searching for the last couple of hours, and really enjoyed it. It's nice to know that there are others out there that have gone through and are going through the same thing I am. So here's my dilemma. In the spring...
