Before closing the trenches, I'd suggest getting the coordinates of all key components for future use.

Don't forget to address the mower spindle and wheel bearings.

How steep? Just climbing or digging while on an incline? You won't know until you try, you can pull yourself up with the bucket, have you blade behind you, going down slide on the bucket, go straight up and down. Wear your seat belt and be careful.

I purchased a Howse 7" landscape rake after hurricane Katrina it worked great for gathering debris getting it close to the fire, then turning the tines around and pushing and lifting into the fire. I also have the guide wheels never use them; the ground needs to be very level.

Disassemble, sandblast, powder coat then rescratch as desired.

I'm finally getting around to doing a compression test, no issues just want to do a base line. The engine is a V2403-M-T, the glow plug part number is 19077-65512. Does anyone know the thread size, I'd like to have the correct adapter in hand prior to moving components. I use a Lang Tool gauge...

I burn a mixture of diesel and waste oil in a smudge pot outside during the cold months, it saves lighting a campfire.

I believe it's a 3/8" valve, that's the only pipe size that's an eight. The Brewery was probably using steam.

Bring in a track hoe and cut the levee and have a fish fry, let it dry thoroughly, then remove the sediment, reshape the pond, then close the breech.

Once you fill it with toys you may regret not choosing the concrete option.

In addition to draining the tank, changing the filter I'd disconnect the injector lines and crank until you're sure you have good fuel.

If this is for your home use, I consider a correctly sized (full house) diesel generator (1800RPM) with either a Kubota or Perkins water cooled engine, with or without an enclosure. Select and size a day tank of your choosing. Permanently install it so it can't be lent. Decide whether to use an...

Consider modifying a 4' land leveler with expanded metal (sized to what you don't want to pass) and a mount 12- volt trailer vibrator. Mount the expanded metal to two pieces of angle iron and place it behind the first blade make it adjustable to pivot (up/down) to achieve the best performance...
