    Hydraulic leak

    Just HAD to be the LOWER connection, of course..... :( Almost looks like the 'quick connect' connection isn't engaging all the way , though I'm surprised it's leaking. Usually they just 'pop out'(well air line ones here do....) I'd remove the others and refit the bottom one,then the rest...

    Lifting a ton with MX5400?

    no, that's what I'd call a 'carryall'....I still use the one I made 20 years ago, out of, ironically, forklift forks. ! they actually make 3PH, forklift masts. Nice for those that need an offroad forklift once in awhile and can't justify the cost of a dedicated machine.

    Top hydraulic link hoses length

    TJ 'stole' my idea !!!! yeah, great use for leaky water hoses remember to 'cycle' the 3PH fully up and down, to be SURE the lengths are correct

    Ford wants to allow your car to lock you out — and even drive itself to an impound lot or scrapyard — if you miss payments

    When the specs for OBD-III came out(years ago.), it was obvious that cops would be able to 'see' who was speeding and then issue them a ticket. Current tech had surpassed that ability....

    MaxLine RapidAir Garage Air Line Kits

    One problem with PEX is the temperature rating ! At higher temps, pressure rating goes down. A lot of air compressors today pump up to 155 PSI,so something to consider The other 'fun' fact..... some use the ID and some the OD for selling their PEX. and every connection restricts air flow...

    Dirt Dog attachments

    I wonder how often (if ?) rotary cutters actually get washed down ,cleaned out and serviced ? My current riding mower is a 25 years old Cub Cadet (MTD) and it's deck is in VGC. I've seen 5 year old decks rotted out due to wet grass left under the deck.

    Kubota M5700 fuel gauge issue

    re: When I short the two prongs on the cable at the sending unit, the gauge goes to full. According to the wiring diagram in the WSM.. That isn't the proper procedure . One of those prongs is the fuel sensor, the other is the 'out of fuel' sensor. To bypass the sensor, you connect the Yellow...

    Agri-fab gear-drive tiller bearing seal

    NICE ! My 'cheat' for bearing removal. Find a socket that's just a little smaller in diameter that the outer race (ring) of the bearing,connect to 6" extension. be sure it's flat against the race and whack the extension.Trick is to be SURE the socket IS flat, so every whack the bearing moves out...

    New BX2380 bucket meets ground unevenly....

    my guess based on the last picture is the left side loader frame is 1" too high, or right side is 1" too low. if you can keep the bucket as is, loosen the left frame bolts, it might slide down a bit. If not enough, tighten them, then loosen the right side,then raise frame up a bit. I don't know...

    Agri-fab gear-drive tiller bearing seal

    great , more pictures ! I like pictures..makes me think just HOW did they put it together..... the lower , tine shaft I think has to come out. there has to be an 'oil seal' on tine side..so the bearing was installed from that side ? the upper gearbox shaft, same deal. My idea is based on HOW do...

    Kubota M5700 fuel gauge issue

    found the WSM, it goes to the 'low fuel light' which is also 'charge' indicator. I presume it might be a thermistor... cooled by fuel so light is off.....no fuel ,it selfheats light comes on ? Overall nothing to do WITH the fuel gauge though....

    Lift Capacity

    One area often overlooked in the 'specs' is the front tire capacity ! The BX23S has tires rated for 700# each, so 1400# total, and that's IF you pump them up to max air pressure rating on the sidewall

    Value of an extended warranty on a used L47 purchase

    I don't know the tractor or contract details but..... if the tractor has DPF aka 'emissions' on it.. or some problem 'computer'..... that alone might be worth the deal ?? be interesting to look up some common parts and their cost plus figure labour at $100 per hour ??
