    Beef up fork/SSQA interface or not?

    Could you maybe extend your adapter plate? I think the nose on most plates touch the attachment.

    Stellantis resurrects diesel cars across Europe

    At least in the U.S., ridiculous emissions controls on diesel vehicles is killing reliability and mileage. My BIL is considering replacing his diesel delivery trucks with gassers. The mileage would be atrocious, but at least he could keep them on the road. Is it Cummins that's converting one of...

    Advice for novice

    I've used Terra Force forks and bale spear, and they seem to be well made. I see a root grapple on their website. It appears to be well designed, greasable pivots.

    Alternator Dissassembly, Bearings - L3940

    Don't you have a hydraulic leak to fix somewhere? :) I have nothing better to do, sitting around, waiting for covid to go away.

    Alternator Dissassembly, Bearings - L3940

    We all agree it's a puzzle. I went to my L35 WSM seeking enlightenment there. It had identical instructions and a drawing of a bearing puller on the bearing, with no mention of removing the slip rings. The repair for under tolerance slip rings is 'replacement', but that may mean 'replace the...

    Alternator Dissassembly, Bearings - L3940

    I saw it the same way. I'm hoping @fc1 will post a picture after he removes the housing.

    Alternator Dissassembly, Bearings - L3940

    Looking at this drawing, it looks like the bearing may be able to pass over the slip rings. You should be able to tell once you remove the rear cover.

    Alternator Dissassembly, Bearings - L3940

    I downloaded that WSM out of curiosity. It still wasn't clear to me how to disassemble that bearing. It doesn't appear the bearing id can slip over the slip rings. Is the shaft hollow or slotted to get the leads past the bearing?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    BIL is out with Katy picking up debris. It was forecast to rain all day, but now it looks like it'll hold off 'til dark.

    Welder Advice

    One thing that I wasn't prepared for was the need for good light. I figured once you struck an arc you'd have plenty of light. But I guess the arc light is predominantly uv and is filtered out.

    dewalt air compressors

    And you had a soldering gun on a camping trip why? Good grief man, what other useless junk did you take along? My 12v tire inflator opinion is much like yours. The early ones were junk and I don't see much to recommend the new ones. For my travels, if it's a small leak I can limp to an air...

    30 yr old FEL, cyls leaking, which route to take..?

    Not shopping, it's for re-affirmation that I own a superior machine 😎. If Kioti would develop a support network, they could make a move. But that would increase costs and be reflected in their price. There are things about my neighbor's JD utility tractor I like too, but it ain't Katy.

    30 yr old FEL, cyls leaking, which route to take..?

    Me three. I rebuilt the first couple, no big deal, using Kubota kits. But the kits got so high it was better to take them to a shop 20 miles away. So far, he's had the parts in stock and charges $100 per cylinder for parts and labor. I usually loosen the head before I take them off. If I call...
