Make sure that the grapple you are interested in will stand up for attaching and detaching from the tractor. That includes enough downward travel to clear the grapple before the loader arms hit the ground. In addition to the above, make sure that the lower tines will not be angled into the...

After the numerous KMA manufacturing defects on my backhoe, I found the real meaning of KMA.

That is impossible on many combinations, but the nonsense goes on forever.

My daughter has a small pond, a GBH cleaned out the fish in no time.

Did you adjust it for your weight? It needs to be adjusted to a point where it won't bottom or top out, then it will improve things over having a seat mounted solid.

I like a foot switch on a drill press so that one can hold on to the workpiece and control the spindle. That would give you a reason to get rid of that rat nest on the side of the motor as well.

Why not just run it like it is till parts are available? :unsure:

I installed a Trac seat suspension on my zero turn, it helped a fair amount. Certainly not an air suspension but the price isn't crazy.

Sorry about that, I scrolled thru the first few pages and thought it was legit.

I did a very quick search and found this.

This video will give you the information that you want about old oil.

Yes, usually the top and front surfaces aren't precision ground, using only the angled surfaces will prevent any rocking. I see a slight mismatch where the ways meet, maybe the gap filler isn't fitted correctly or there is debris under it.

It depends on the temperature when you operate the tractor. If you are in VA and run it in the winter, I would go to 5W40.

I have one on mine and use it often. Being able to bump up against the stop while roughing and then measure, you can simply dial in the remainder and continue. I don't like watching the DRO and would rather watch the workpiece while coming up against a hard stop.

I think that you only want contact on the angled surfaces, all others should be clearance. If you keep it shorter (perhaps just one clamp bolt) you would have more travel, particularly useful when using a face plate. Many stops have a micrometer type of adjustment, maybe you could come up with a...
