    Metal hydraulic line keeps blowing

    Shouldn’t this be a WARRANTY Item?

    Cannot get stuck heat seal out ... need advice or ideas

    ‘Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are...

    DIY press brake

    When I made the fire-box flue and damper for my living room fireplace I simply laid the 4’ x 8’ 10ga steel in a ditch and ran the 9N Ford over it to make the perfect bends in it then welded the seams. That was 25 years ago…

    Fuel injection pump query re: BX2200 & B7800

    Fuse Failure Causes: 1. Electrical Over-Load. 2. Poor Mfr’g Quality (of the fuse itself) 3. Vibration 4. Corrosion (receptacle dissimilar metals, creates heat/overload) Do not buy the “cheapest” fuses you find on the internet. Select reputable brands such as Littlefuse and Bussman which meet...

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    Your attempt to “personalize” that accusation is repugnant, not funny. You didn’t “ask valid questions”….you made baseless accustaions. (and insulted our Appalachian friends)

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    Project Farms demonstration did NOT support the claims of Stabil. The video actual Disproved Stabils claim that it completely preserves fuel. He showed that Stabil worked “better” than other products….however it did not work perfectly…except at corrosion-control. Project Farm does not accept...

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    i DO use “Ring-Free” per Yamaha (which is actually Chevron’s Techron re-labelled). I‘ve not used the Yamalube “fuel stabilizer”, believing, perhaps mistakenly, that Stabil Marine was an appropriate substitute. That Yamalube stabilizer (+50-cents per gallon of gas) instructs One-Ounce per...

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    MARINE STABIL (green) was properly installed into the full fuel tanks of my pontoon boat with a 180-hour Yamaha F150…and it sat for one year. When started, the engine ran poorly …like intermittently firing on only 3 of 4 cyls. Low power and would not achieve full rpm. I”ve always had faith...

    RTV X900 suspected bad fuel filter

    All those filters are available on Amazon. It may be that someone has improperly attempted to mimic large diesel engines by reducing the idle Too Low rpm. The X900 should idle above 1000 rpm. (no tachometer, of course…but it should idle only as slowly as it runs SMOOTHLY…. and this will be...

    Is this a shear pin on my PTO shaft?

    My Finish Mower has both…. belt-driven blades…and a shear-bolt such as shown above by Russell.

    Excessive 'dieseling'

    I’m surprised that throwing snake oil in the crankcase didn’t cure an unrelated issue. Maybe sea foam in the rear tires would do it.

    Canopy fan question

    Most of these tractor alternators are only 40A…but there are a few optional at 70/90A. The problem will not be your alternator (if you have an open-station tractor). The problem will be that an automotive radiator cooling fan is designed to SUCK or Propel air thru a radiator-Shroud…. not push...

    blade bolts for GR2020

    NAaaawwww….. Buy the WHOLE SET of Sockets! That way you’ll have a nice, organized “rack” to keep them in. You’ll never be satisfied with the odd, “loose” one in the toolbox…. Especially after you DO finally succumb and buy the entire-set and have that One, Odd one laying in there. BTDT
