Address is in Hong Kong.... All 'aftermarket' so if the part you need unobtainium, they are worth a shot, better than nothing.

The best advice is to change it regularly. Viscosity, based on temp extremes. Which oil? Does not really matter. Though new is strongly suggested.

The worst thing you can do is neglect. From no maintenance to never running and letting moisture build up inside. Running, thinking minimum RPM will induce the least wear is pretty wrong, excessive loading at low rpm is tough on rods and pistons. Just like too low of an idle will quickly kill...

My old Sears Craftsman Garden tractor, standard high lift blades, put 95% of the clippings in the bags. New JD X754 with high lift blades and power bagger puts 100% in the bags. I'm almost looking forward to leaf collection come fall. Almost. Old, old Murray push mower put 100% in the bag...

That'll buff out.

Yeah... it seems if you start the tractor, engage the PTO while sitting, you have a few seconds after standing to unlatch and flip the seat forward. There are two switches. One is the 'operator presence' switch which shuts the tractor off if you leave the seat (like if you crashed and were...

My first GPS was named after the Indians on F Troop. The 'Fugawee'

My 2025 PU, the GPS is screwy. It apparently, uses lat/long for locations. So plugging in an address, sometimes it will have me on a road ALONGSIDE (behind) where I want to be because the it puts me on a spot that is physically closer to a building, which is set back from the actual road and a...

My little tractor, the fluid has gotten so hot that grabbing a ram was a big mistake.I'm (almost) surprised the paint does not look burnt! SUDT in it. I really doubt a 70 degree day or a 100 degree day makes much of a difference.

They blindly follow the GPS. My own street, the houses and numbers are not in sequence. When I first moved here, the GPS id'd my place as one 1/2 mile away.Fortunately, the driver do read the house numbers. All the delivery services occasionally screw up. I've gotten used to it and instead, am...

Driving through the woods, sticks and stuff abuse (certainly not me!) the valve stem,.

Before buying a belt, ask the dealer if it will be a warranty item. I know in the automobile world, if a belt or buckle fails they often pay for a new part, much cheaper than a ambulance chasing lawsuit. The one area 'goodwill' is often forever.

I was taught long ago, to always put a drop of soapy water on the stem to check for leaks, even tight, they can be defective, probably replaced a few dozen in my life. On a tubeless, I also put soapy water where the stem protrudes and wiggle it, looking for leaks, Found a few split ones.

This was my 'wild guess', a 25% ;loss' when stationary Hydraulics not working but fully pressurized sucking up power, more on a HST tractor due to a larger hydraulic pump. Thank you very much.(y)

You know, I've read it a few times and did not find that spec, hence my question. I've found most of the members here are typically more knowledgeable and courteous. The 'Green' forum, most of the guys are rather clueless. My limited knowledge is the brand of tractor does not matter, it is...
