Manual says (Below 32°F use SAE#10 or #10W-30) (32°F to 77°F use SAE#20) (77°F and above use SAE#30) I use 10w-30 year round. You can also use a 15w-40 (Rotella or Delo 400.

What loader do you have? Sometimes the linkage on the joystick gets worn and will not allow the valve to open far enough to move hyd fluid to the cylinders. Some of the linkages can be adjusted, but others you have to replace the worn linkages.

Those little clips are OK but unnecessary - this shank has front notches. So anything which will push the shank forward to hold it on its perch will do the job. I would cut some wooden wedges and drive them down in the back of the shank. You could cut some metal wedges, but wood is cheaper and...

90% of FEL loader companies can supply a loader for your tractor. It's just a matter of having the correct mounting brackets. However before you spend the money on a FEL for this older tractor, I would opt for a newer tractor with a FEL installed and a PTO. The work you will be able to do will...

Because this fuel filter is exposed and easily broken when bolted solidly to the tractor, I have found that if you attach it with electrical tie-wraps (snug but not tight) the filter can move a little when you hit something with it. If you use the small tie-wraps they will break before the...

If you're to old to learn something new then you're just plain "too Old" - Next you'll buy something green!!::D
