    L3450GST clicking not starting

    When you turn the key it clicks once. After trying a few times it starts right up. Had the battery tested and it's fine. Hay will be getting delivered between the rain and need to get it in before it gets wet.

    Glow Plugs - How Long Do You Keep Them "ON" Before Cranking The Engine ?

    Winter averages about 40F and summer goes all the way up to about 64. We don't use additives here as a rule. Only difference between summer and winter is the rain is warmer in summer;)

    Anyone else a Starlink beta tester?

    I don't like the whole idea of it. I mean, who gives him permission to fill the sky with satellites? Already there is a heap of them not working, so basically more junk up there. I presume they will have to be shunted out of their orbit to be replaced by working ones. Where will they go? And he...

    Oiling Driveshaft - ( ? ) I'm confused about a video by Good Works Tractors. - help appreciated.

    I can't be 100% sure about your tractor. Might be a JD specific thing. Some of these guys can be taken with a pinch of salt. There is another guy that was doing a job on his tractor and he put axle stands under it. He didn't even jack it up!!!

    No pressure to wood splitter

    I have 2 pairs of remotes in one block. First time putting the hyd top link back on I used top left and bottom left. Still embarrassed by how long it took me to figure out that they were paired horizontally :oops:

    Kubota Tool Sizes

    I agree with whoever said to take an inventory of what you have. I find the most common spanners used are 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 17mm and 19mm, or their imp equivalent, on nearly everything. Spend a few bucks on a good adjustable for emergencies and buy the spanner when you have time. But your not...

    cleaning a barrel for diesel fuel storage

    Dunno if you are aware, but there are 2 types of diesel which are basically exactly the same. Road diesel which is more expensive and agricultural diesel. The only difference here is the colour. It has to do with excise. From what I gather, not every place stocks it over there. I would also...

    Do sprayer pumps suck?

    I got an old PTO sprayer that used to be mounted on the back of a Cushman. The plan is to mount it to the 3pt. I've started cutting it up to turn its orientation 90 degrees so that the tank will go across the width of the tractor rather than sticking out the back length ways. The main concern at...

    dynamo?

    Had a dynamo on the old MF135 and, while the dynamo itself only failed once, the voltage regulator and solenoid used to pack in every 2 years or so.

    Installed a new hydraulic top link today.

    The one I have is too light for the abuse I give it and was weld repaired before I got it. But I hope I never have to go back to the old solid type. Sometimes I put it on the tow hitch and use it for pulling roots but those times I wish it was longer :rolleyes:

    Securing a PTO shaft when not in use

    I take them off and put them in the shed. Mine come off their respective machines the same way they come off the tractor. Gives me a chance to give them a good cleaning and greasing
