On my old M4500 it's the high-low range gear selector safety switch that causes that. If left in gear over night in cold weather it'll do that. Has a cab so can't blame it on moisture, I attribute it to thick oil when cold and a spring that is maybe a little weaker than it needs to be. But my...

I thought about that 'cause I've done the same before too. Problem is that the point on the hex of the glow plug pretty much touches the manifold flange where the socket would have to be. It'd be so thin I don't think it would have enough meat to break it loose. I don't think... check that... I...

Numerous aerosol electric motor cleaners available on the market, Gunk, CRC, NAPA & others most non-flammable. Get a can, throw an old rag under it and spray it out real well. Let it dry on its own or blow it out gently with your compressor regulator set to about 20 PSI. You could leave it...

No ideas on this one huh?

Ok, Vic, if you're out there I need some advice on this one. Is there a trick to changing the front glow plug in an M4500 w/ the S2600 6 cyl. ? There is no way I can see to reach it without taking off the third injector line from the pump, even then, you can't get a wrench on it and it looks too...

It's worth repeating --- Go Bucks! National Champs!

Tooljunkie - What kind of pellet mill do you have?????

So it was -7 F here yesterday morning. The old M4500 wasn't too keen on wanting to start (unheated shed, no block heater), but it did. Heated the plugs for about 2 mins but got barely a glow from the indicator, only wanted to hit on one or two holes. Noticed this fall that on cool mornings it...

Yeah, I've seen those big pellets... just gave two truckloads of those away!:)

Pellets pretty easy to get here, especially by the ton. Have had a pellet uh... corn stove for around 25 years. All but 2 of those (winter 2010-11 & 11-12) have burnt corn exclusively. Those 2 years pellets were considerably cheaper than corn so we bought bulk pellets and burnt that instead. The...

3 years ago I bought a Kubota M4500 that hadn't moved in at least 5 years (sat outside). The tank was about 1/2 full. Started and ran perfectly even after all that time (and the weather in Ohio isn't the best for partially filled fuel containers). As long as the lids were on tight it'll be fine...

Tape a National Championship football game???? Well Coach you look to be a motorcycle guy... it's kinda like this. You can watch a tape recording of someone riding Deals Gap, but there's nothing like seeing the scenery of the devils backbone go by in real time! Just not the same.

Ok, so in the middle of the first half when it was 'Bama 21 and OSU 6, I thought "this isn't going to end well for Ohio State". Who would've ever thought they could do what they did... with a 3rd string Quarterback to boot. Next up, Oregon. BTW, why the heck can't the College National...

Oh, ok. Yeah I have the same blade and it is a little loose too. These blades aren't really meant for heavy grading & solid dirt work. More meant for gravel, snow & loose soil. I just use a little larger diameter pin to tighten things up some with mine.

Same problem with Federal in my Phoenix 22 semi-auto. I think it's their dies. I think the bottom edge of the rim shoulder isn't as consistently square and the extractor slips off before they clear the chamber. It's picky on ammo. On the other hand, I think my S&W SDVE and Hi-Point .40's would...

You could always just go buy new lower pins with shoulders, put them in and tighten them real good and then just weld around the shoulders to fix them permanent. Chances you'll wear the pins out are slim, and you can always grind the welds off if you ever would need to. You're going to have to...

Get your starter manufacturer and model number from the decal on the starter and head off to your trusty NAPA to see if solenoid or solenoid contacts are available. My M4500 had same symptoms. $11 later I had a new set of contacts and plunger for the inside of the solenoid. My tractor uses an...

Just one question... Does Mr. Simon know you snagged all his campaign signs???

Sorry, I'll type this when I stop laughing at the sheep thing! 7 Foot 272 New Idea Cut-ditioner. Mows hay, turns wet hay, windrows in a pinch and clips the pasture. Built like a tank (can run as hard as one too). Doesn't do quite the job that the old MC Rotary Sythe did back on the farm though.

Um, uh.... The "sleeve" is part of the plow "drawbar" and has that keyway cut in the top of it so that it will not rotate in the mechanism that you see sticking up on the top with the adjusting bolt. The pictures don't show it, but I'm betting the centerline of the pin in the picture is oh, 2 -...
