Another good idea Jay, but I see the pin must be stuck in the outer ends as it had a bolt she removed preventing it from turning there. While due to lack of lubrication it could have a groove or other galling holding it in the cylinder end too. Either way I like the way you think at problem...

Sounds like a good idea Jay. That combination of the weight of machine and a good jack. I also just looking at that diagram thinking of disassembling the cylinder in place to replace the seals etc if that is the problem. Bill

Hey TG, I measured my press and I don't think it is going to work for you. I hope you haven't ordered one yet. The width of the press is a little over 6" and the hole on the opposite side is over an inch. The problem is the screw part of the unit is 1-1/8 thread. No way that is going to go...

I love to plow my snow. retirement lets me do it when I want, not before or after work. Looks like we have some coming to central NY. My drive is only maybe 350 ft plus some around the shop. I do it all with my 1950 8N with a power angle plow I have on the front. No cab! Use the Kubota loader...

I bought one of those from Advance auto (I think it was) about 25 years ago. It has held up real well. I've used it a lot for changing universal joints mostly. Worked real good for that and if you can get it in there it just might be the ticket to move that pin. A breaker bar should work. once...

I hear you Jay, I looked at a lot of top loaders and they have eliminated the agitator on a lot of them and they had terrible reviews. My wife is under 5' and it is difficult for her to reach down in the new ones. So we took a chance and got an Electrolux pair. they had decent reviews. There is...

I replaced my washer and dryer just about a year ago with a front loader pair. So all my spare parts I had for the whirlpool toploader probably won't work. That was over 20 years old. I need to start a list and get some for them. Bill

Deer season I have a refrigerator in the basement I use to put the quartered deer in and then Wife and I process over a couple days. Well I plugged it in the day I got one and it wasn't cooling in ref but the freezer was. So I see it was the evap fan. I Had a spare evap and condenser fans for...

Good to hear you finally found the problem. Bill

After you tack the ubolts, put a second nut on each bolt end to tighten the caster to so it doesn't deform, So that you sandwich the plate between them.

But I never just stop in uninvited, I went thru on the Mass turnpike and dropped down, Probably passed by a few others along the way too! Bill

Thanks for sharing your pup story, I had to go to Willington Ct to pick this one up, 4.5 hrs each way from where we live. We have two other rescues, one lab mix about 14 and a border collie mix 11. So they are getting on in years. One little westen terrier mix passed at 17 in june so we thought...

My wife and I just took in a new rescue dog last Saturday, I could probably start a scrap tractor rescue and get them to the same good home as "Rudy" the wire haired terrier just got. let me know if I can be of help getting a forever home for that L48! Bill

I made a lot of them with a wrench until we got the hydraulic one at work! Only used the manual ones after that if it was a tight place. Making them in a heavy distribution breaker panels wasn't for the faint of heart! I bought a chineseium hydraulic unit for some holes I was making at home but...

I think we need to get together and have an intervention for Rusty. Somehow he needs to come to terms with his addiction of making it suit his needs better. As I would be throwing stones from a glass house with my own customization maybe I should just sit this one out! I put a light bar on my...

Another trick I have used to get a hung up one down that is off the stump and in the ground. I wrap the chain around the base with a choke and over the top so as I pull it is rolling it, For me it works better than just pulling. Bill

I watch a lot of "Buckin Billy Ray Smith" on you tube. He is always using the saw handle as a guide when he has it in the cut. I think a lot of saws are set up with one end of the handle at 90 deg and a mark on the other side of the case. He is one crazy good faller and I have learned quite a...

I know mine, L2501DT, will start standing beside it as long as the range selector is in neutral and PTO is disengaged. Bill

I see when I read it for the third time you mentioned "Neutral" Sorry I missed that first time.

I noticed you didn't mention the gear range lever, is that in neutral? Mine won't do anything unless that is and I occasionally forget to put it in neutral when parking and shutting off. First thing I check when it won't turn over. Maybe a stick or twig in there stopping that switch from...
