What make and model of air operated grease guns do you have? I think I'll let the wife buy me one. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I bought the Sears Pro guns which go on sale often. I think I paid around $25 dollars. That was money well spent.

Very nice. By the way, does anyone know if PTRICH is going to get another tractor?

Are you saying that Terry recommends using superlube on the ball type joint instead of white lithium grease, or just on the treadle components? And after I searched all over the place for a can of white lithium, and I have superlube sitting on my shelf... )</font>
Hi there,
YES, I spoke with Terry, and that's exactly what he said they use at Power Trac.
Sincerely,

I noticed some wear on the steering hoses on one side of the tractor.
<font color="red">I covered those hoses with wiring loom and tied them back.
</font>
I was VERY impressed with how much faster it is to move dirt with the bucket, in comparison to a "normal tractor" and FEL.
<font color="red"> When building the site for my Morton Building, my friend came over with his big New Holland (hydro), FEL, and box blade. Although he initially took the attitude that I should just keep that little PT out of his way, I insisted upon 'helping'. We soon developed a routine in which while he was off dragging a load of dirt from the hillside to the site I would spread, level, and compact the previous load. My wife said that it looked like an old war movie with his big 'bomber' lumbering along while my little 'fighter' swooped and dived in around him!! With his muscle, and my speed and maneuverability, we had the site built, leveled, and compacted in no time!! </font>
Has anyone tried 6-ply tires? )</font>
<font color="red"> I have the optional PT Bar Tires, and have had no problems during the first 225 hours (90% woods work), except when a 2" branch stabbed into the sidewall breaking the seal and deflating the tire! My hand air pump reinflated the tire and off I went!!
