Maybe it's different in Canada, or maybe I'm in the minority, but I spilled a lot more with the old cans. I think a lot of you are remembering the good old days with rose coloured glasses. My gas cans leaked at the base of the nozzle. The plastic bendy straw style leaked at all the joints...

It is actually really challenging to take it down with tannerite as an earlier commenter reminisced. You need the tannerite contained to do any damage and by the time you cut it in, you might as well just drop the tree. It's a lot of fun, but in my experience, it takes longer and is less safe...

I second the knipex suggestion, if it fit, I'd even try a pipe wrench, even if it was on the bulge. The hose should spin separate of the fitting, but if it's that tight they may spin together. I'd also consider removing the other fittings around it, so you could potentially get the tools on a...

I appreciate you recognizing that we elect representatives, which may not act the way any individual necessarily would. In my mind, the countries with the resources and the ones "everyone doesn't hate/fear" are the ones involved with the UNs initiative. Although I agree with your plastic...

The vote I was speaking about was the United Nations and the Paris agreement/accord. It was 2015ish. For more information - https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement The US withdrew from it, but have since rejoined with Biden. I would point out that at one point the iron in...

I actually hate bureaucracy, although I don't know many people that love it. I find it a necessary evil to keep the general "us", fair and on the right track. What is wrong with burning coal, well - aside from the mining practices (someone else was commenting about electric car elements...

Hi Tom. I would suggest if it needs a jump every time, that it might be cured when you replace the battery. If you've tested your battery, it's sized right, and your confident in it, then you can take a set of booster cables from the battery right to the starter. If it starts easier (turns...

IMO, Emissions are the cost of doing business. Can you do it cheaper - yes*, buy pre-emission equipment. We as a planet, country, province/state have agreed that certain emissions standards should be met. Actively seeking out and overusing outdated equipment is just a legal (but immoral?)...

To add to what others have said, it's a lot of weight. I have a similar Kubota loader and the arms alone weigh around 1000 lbs(half to tractor, half goes to bucket when lowered), then add on your plow. Now you are looking around 1000 lbs of downpressure when it's "floating". I put a gauge on...

I would have to say that you likely have a leak in your brake system somewhere. Further speculation would be that it is in your left side. In theory as you bleed it you should find a leak somewhere. (even sitting it may/should leak - cardboard underneath may give you a clue) In my experience...

I don't know if it is too late to help or not? If there are no substantial leaks then to me I would be checking the control valve. It is possible that it is bypassing or "leaking" internally the same way a cylinder would. The way I would "test" this is to change the up/down with the bucket...

As far as the mechanical, my 3/4" plates left a bit to be desired. At the end of the bucket, with 100 lbs of person bouncing on it would deflect the bucket at least an inch. You can see the deflection in the mount, however I doubt it is any more than a 1/16 or so. I still have not reinforced...

I thought I would post an update on the install for anyone it might help. It is mounted and working but there's still some work to do before it is done. I did not purchase the hydraulic pump adapter line, but rather ran it through the remotes. I wanted a second remote anyway (in this case for...

Thanks cropgrower. My spool valve actually does have the power beyond built in (unlike the princess auto ones that you need to add the adapter). I'm currently still working on the fabricating of the push bars and mounts, but hydraulics is going to be soon! I will try to update the post with a...

I think I really do need one of those manuals! It would have saved me so much time up to this point already! Thank you for taking the time to dig up that fantastic information ZetorSteve - it is exactly what I was looking for! It even has the warning for the push bars right on that page + the...

I'm a bit late to the party here - but you never know when it will help someone else :) I was able to replace/ repair mine without removing the floor. The boot around mine was torn, so I didn't have to remove the boot. Prior to fixing it I was able to pull the selector off the horizontal...

Here is a picture of the "red" port with the hose on it. More than $50 CDN for that one hydraulic line! I should have mentioned before the purple one is welded shut as the hydraulic guy didn't have any better way to seal it. My lift cylinders settle (faster when there is weight on them). At...

Currently the red hose I have a gauge on for diagnostics. Since I know it is tied directly in to the filter line (I can see light straight through) - I blocked the filter end and checked for pressure. My thought was that is the one that is supposed to be the return to tank, so I was going to...

Here is what I can see from the hydrauilcs and what I they all do. The only one I don't know about for sure is the red one - "Return to tank" - as it wasn't hooked up. You can shine a light through it and it goes straight through to the green line that goes to the hydraulic filter via a solid...

Thanks for the reply so quick! No - I only have 2 couplings at the rear. I believe that free return had a nut with a ball bearing in it (I assume some clever mechanics trick to seal it). I'm going to try to upload a picture of the filter housing that I think you are talking about

Hi Everyone! I was hoping someone here had some insight on how a front end loader was installed on the 7711 or 7745 tractors. Specifically I have two questions: hydraulically - Where does it get it's fluid from? Where does the fluid return to? I tried grabbing fluid upstream of the filter...
