One wire would allow the solenoid to pull in once the safeties are satisfied, the other would stay energized to keep the engine running and of course the other is the ground. If the engine starts, then I'd suspect the seat circuit or the grounding. If you have the wiring diagram for your...

Do as you feel is best. Make sure to set the brakes. I'd start by hot wiring the solenoid straight off the battery (+) and ground straight back to the battery (-). Be reminded a loose ground can cause what you describe. You could also try jiggling the wire/harness while it's running. Good luck

It's already off, you might as well straighten it.

I've had success vacuuming the free water out, then place a dehumidifier and run the drain through a floor plug.

How long was it in the creek? How deep? Electric system, diff, trans, CV's, etc. should all be checked

After corrective actions are taken, I'd suggest purchasing all of the drain plugs/ crush washers and JB Weld magnets to them to capture any material that may be in the system. Even though the filter magnets capture most some can still settle out at the lower areas. Periodically you can pull the...

Don't what part it is, are you the first owner, have you changed the fluid/filter before. That part is fairly large to make it through the system without getting hung up. When you pulled the drain plugs did any metal come out (it looks pretty chewed up). Check the parts diagrams to see if you...

Don't know your particular circumstances, but I'd think twice, for the little bit of monies you'll get, I'd keep it. If it's kept out of the weather and run regularly, it's a good machine to have.

I bought the 42" Mongo tilting grading bucket for $4,309 and the 37" ripper for $1, 500 + $325 shipping, it's more versatile than just ditch cleaning. Both pieces are well built!

Think back prior to building your shop/barn/garage, it was probably just a nice patch of grass, then wham it's overflowing with only "good stuff" with very little room to move around. I always recommend building as large as financially possible, it doesn't matter you'll fill it up in no time...

Are you sure all of the old washers have been removed.

Consider a die grinder with a carbide double cut burr bit.

After cleaning the zerk and prior to reinstalling, fill the opening with a good penetrant, pump the fitting and get as much pressure as possible then work the equipment. Your neighbor is lucky to have you as a friend.

My equipment has many recessed grease fittings prior to greasing; I need to clean the recessed area (rag and small tipped screwdriver) to avoid pushing sand/grit into the fitting any tips to make this task easier?

Weather using bare root or plugs, be careful not to plant too deep err to the high side, to ensure establishing good crown roots. I planted a pecan orchard 30+years ago using container trees, used a rototiller chopped a 4' diameter circle and planted them on top of the ground a put two...
