I had a defective dipper stick replaced by a dealer, he installed no bushings. When called the tech came to my house and installed them. He wanted to hammer them in and then use a die grinder to grind off the bulges from the hammer but I showed him something he never considered. I used a...

The warranty is a non-issue. What is an issue is having a dealer put in over 15 quarts of the wrong oil in my 13 quart 6.7. Yes, they got it wrong again after I returned to have them make it right. That was the first of my two free oil changes, I never went back for my second "free" oil...

It should work, I did it on a much smaller tractor. I would caution you on using too much suction, my concern is drawing debris in past the seals, I don't completely seal the vacuum hose and let a fair amount of air to bypass

Two things; parking and disconnecting my grapple requires it to be level so that it stays on the small flat bottom and not fall over, the other thing is that I know if the points will dig in or ride on the surface.

When I installed the rod type level, I installed each of my four implements and marked the level position while on a level floor. I used a different color paint for each and put a dab of that paint on the implement. It likely was overkill because all of them were well within 1-1/4", but I...

Turn the engine till a valve is fully open and mark the crank pulley, then turn it one full turn and adjust that valve. Repeat for each one. I have seen too many mistakes by using manuals that describe adjusting several valves at one time, that instruction is to save time only.

It might be possible to open the crimps holding the top tank and then replace it. Talk to a radiator shop.

I think that you understand things quite well. The only thing I would add is to put in some kind of rust preventive.

But the union thugs kept their pension while the GM stock in my personal retirement account was lost.

If it was marketed as a gasoline container it would need to have the spill prone spout and no vent to make the goobermint happy.

You still have the cutting tool wrong, drop it down to the other angle.

Mount the cutting tool on the bottom angle of the holder. Set the compound to 29 or 29.5 degrees. Always return to the zero on the cross slide and advance the cuts on the compound. Until we know the TPI, engage the half nuts at the same number. Take light cuts, especially near the finish size.

You appear to be having too many problems lately, perhaps there is something going on with your health. Just throwing it out there and not trying to be a wise guy, I am simply concerned.

It has been quite quiet, my thought is that the boom time for the smaller tractors has cooled quite a bit. I don't know if folks are running low on money or if we have reached the saturation point.
