    Rear Differential Lock Question

    I have a few small spots that I mow on two wheels (I should use the trimmer) with my BX1880 that I have to engage low range and some times the diff lock. Like RCW says, the pedal goes down partially and as I slowly try to move it fully engages, the pedal goes all the way down and I start moving.

    Rear Differential Lock Question

    You are right. You need some motion to align the pins with the holes so that they go in. However, what you want is that the relative motion between the two to be a minimum in order to reduce any shock loads that will cause damage. You don't want to have a tire spinning at full speed and try to...

    We had the equivalent in Puerto Rico back then with Lucy Pereda. Her claim to fame was that she could write the forecast or anything else backwards as she talked. But apparently, she attracted viewers for other reasons too.

    Artillian pallet fork frame issue w/BX23S.

    I have the feeling the the right pin on the SSQA is not going as far down as the left even with no attachment. It might need adjustment. There is a lengthy discussion on this thread about it, however it got started with the attachment coming off while back dragging. It might help you understand...

    Kubota b6100, no start, timing to early, no shims to remove.

    I guess that most of us are too old and were not raised using smilies or whatever the hell they are called. So, confusion is the norm with the exception of the obvious ones, like chocolate ice cream 💩:ROFLMAO:

    New Air Compressor

    Today I received the replacement thumb screw for the one that came broken. It was the correct part but the interesting thing is that the attached paperwork form Alton Industry Ltd. Group states that the part is for a 10 gallon Craftsman compressor or for an 8 gallon Husky compressor. Not a word...

    Buying a UTV

    Well, I know nothing about UTV's and zero experience with CVT's but I have an opinion. I believe that all the ugly stories on CVT's started after they started using them in cars even though they have been successfully used for years on everything else. The big difference is that in a none car...

    In my olden days in college, it seemed that all the math was imaginary. It did not seem to make any sense until it was applied in engineering courses. The exception to that was Calculus II. The professor had us try to find where to put the leg and balance, a one legged table that had the shape...
