Hopefully its easy as that! The Navi Guard oil I have mixed in says meets UDT right on the bucket so it should work? Or work well enough for it to run decent?

Yup! Checked it and topped it off as one of the first things when it started acting up. Well its funny that you ask this… a little development this morning. When staring at the fill cap of the tractor fluid after checking the fluid level when it was cold something didn't look right. A mid wasp...

Howdy, We have a 2004 Kubota L3130 HST with 1300hrs on it. Been a reliable machine until the last few hours. We have noticed the engine bogging down more and more. The engine bogs similar to when you push too hard on the pedal when its cold or when in too high of gear range, except when its...

Thanks! I was thinking it could be in that range!

Thanks for the replies so far. The foundation is 14’W x 28’L. The total wall height only needs to be roughly 8’ above slab so that limits my concrete volume numbers. The foundation is buried at least 4’ on all sides so we don’t have to go any deeper for frost. floor joists will run the 14’...

About to embark on a solid kitchen renovation of my own home. This section of our 1890’s house has a questionable foundation. Before I spend a good amount of time restoring the old fieldstone foundation we have talked about rebuilding this 14×28’ space from the ground up. With this space gone...

I am in the market for a large parcel of land in southern Maine. I just walked a large plot that is in the process of being cut. I know this is a very open ended question but what sort of value can the property owner expect to get paid per acre for a mixed hard and soft wood forest thinning. I...

So my 1995 new holland 1920 with 950hrs seems to have some play in both front wheel bearing. When jacking up the tractor and grabbing the top and bottom of the tire and wiggling it I would say there is approximately 1/8" of movement at the outside face of the wheel. The play is coming from the...

I live in central Maine and we have a 10 acre lot on a hill that is used as a hobby maple grove. We tap about 500 trees a year. The lot was cut somewhat heavily about 15 years ago for timber but the owner at that time left any nice maple to grow. Now the lot is beginning to get a very dense...
