question

My Kubota M7 manual maintenance schedule is to replace coolant every 2 years. Mine is now 7 years old and I decided to replace even though test strips said the original coolant was in excellent condition. I went by the manual except for flushing the system - based on test strip results and logic...

Got a Frost Bite Log Grapple, came with 2 male 1/2" couplers. Need one female. The threads on the hose are 1/2" FPT, the new coupler is 1/2" NPT about 0.030" difference by my calipers. Anyone know about this?

I noticed the manual said to measure the front of the cutter vs the rear to set the angle. But as far as cut height, are y’all measuring from the bottom of deck to the ground? It looks as if these blades are even with the bottom of the cutter. MAYBE 1/4” higher. Other cutters I’ve seen the...

So I am new to Hydraulics but am in the process of adding rear remotes to my LX2610 that would come off the power beyond supply lines I use for my BH77 backhoe. I think I have it figured out, but came across something doing my research that I would like to understand - I don't think I need it...

Hello all. I bought a used Frontier RC2060 cutter for my tractor. It had some rust in the corners, so I disassembled it and repainted it, looks good now. When I had it apart I notice the back left corner was “kicked up” about a half inch. In other words when I set it on the floor it won’t sit...

Hey folks... hopefully this is the correct forum as it relates to the hydrostatic drives on my zero turn. The main belt and/or tensioner went out on our zero turn the other day when my son was mowing. As you might expect that happened in a place that's not conducive to making easy repairs. I'd...

Looking at a Kubota L4802 with the Titan Trac Loader II tires (Kubota exclusive) on it and wondering what people know about them. I’ve always used R4 industrial tires for their puncture resistance because I’m out in the woods mostly and worry about little stumps, etc. The R4s have always worked...

Hey everyone, I picked up this 2030 at an auction recently and I have a question about the rear remotes. Looking at what is on the tractor and comparing with the few pictures I can find online, there are controls for these remotes, correct? If you look at the pictures, the lines run straight to...

Hi everyone, I am new to the group. My question is does anyone have the correct part number for the master cylinders on a 1999 Fermec 640B skip loader? Thanks, Justin

Just wondering what type of o ring the hydraulic hoses take for sealing on my LW8? The description is o ring but is that true or are they some type of flat rubberized seal?

My fan belt broked on my Yanmar 2420. I found a belt that fits but I am not sure I have re-installed it correctly. I never really looked at the belt when it was on the tractor. From what I could tell the belt needs to be on outside of the lower raidator hose..meaning I had to take the lower...
