Almost new tractor and I don't believe the remotes have even been used. Went to hook them up and one female won't accept the male fitting. One works just as it is supposed to but the other one you can't get the male into it far enough for the detent balls to engage. It is definitely that...

Hi All - first post here, been lurking for a while. I've been fitting a Hymari FEL to my Iseki TX2140 Compact tractor. I'm completely stumped by the hydraulic fitting on the loader spool. Can anyone help me ID it? Cheers Andrew
I wouldn't say I am new to woodworking. I've made several nice looking but not fine built-in shelves for my house that turned out very well. All painted, not stained/finished. These were all using bought lumber. No serious joinery.
I am currently making a set of shelves from white oak off of a...
I bought a grapple at an auction. Seems to be foreign import. It came with flat face couplers. I want to put Pioneer couplers on it. What in the world is this and what is the most simple solution to switch to Pioneer? The out of focus 90 fitting has the an adapter in it that adapts it to...
Branson 3510i, plastic nipple on the left side fuel tank broke off from the tank. Dunno how it happened...guessing snow/ice chunk might have caught it when I was snow blowing. Anyways, got the tank removed and looking to make a repair. Was thinking I'd drill the hole out, tap it/thread it and...
