    not enough hp on my m135x

    This is why Case IH has opted to go the DEF route for emmissions control. Still, they link the fly by wire engine management system with their new CVT transmission to maintain peak fuel economy and power under load. We have the good folks at EPA to thank for all of this. BTW, That new CVT...

    Help may be needed / Flooded L1500

    If you get to it relatively soon: Drag it out and pressure wash the heck out of it, alternator/generator switches, evertyhing. Then soak every electrical component you can find with WD-40. While that's all drying, drain the tranny oil, engine oil and fuel. Fill tranny and engine with the...

    Help... cannot get input shaft back into clutch...

    Well... start with a good cleaning, 'cause it ain't ready to go back together yet from a cleanliness stand point. All that rust needs to be gone as well as what appears to be a couple chunks of something inside the clutch/pto splines. Then a very very light coat (more of a "film" really, put...

    L235 Will not Start

    Sounds like your fuel pump was not properly "in time" when re-installed. The fuel pump on a diesel must be timed correctly just like a distributor on a gas engine. Otherwise, it ain't gonna run. Was the pump the only thing serviced, and did you have a WSM or other service manual to explain the...

    kubota b6000 18spline to 10spline fix

    Order/find a 10 spline pto shaft yoke for the correct size cross bearing on your universal and just switch out the yokes. An adapter may cause alignment/shaft length issues.

    Help Tractor will not start !!!

    I'd check to make sure the glow plugs were operational as noted. I would also make sure that if there is a compression release it is not stuck in the release position as mentioned in the first reply post, even a little reduction in starting compression can cause a starting problem. Does it...

    *(^!#!*&#))(~*^^^ ground hogs

    Ah well... most of the fun extermination methods are illegal. Some patience and a .22 rifle are probably the best alternative.

    Bush hog 600 lube type and quantity

    If there isn't a dealer near you any good NAPA store can usually cross reference a seal if you have the numbers. Sometimes the blade shaft output seals are a little harder to cross out because they're a shielded seal, input side is ususlly a standard seal. A quarter cup of automatic transission...

    Kubota engineering really bad screw up

    A picture would be helpful, but I'm thinking why not just take the top grease zerk out of the spindle shaft all together and drill and tap the PTO flange adapter for a zerk so that you can pump grease directly to the area that originally had the shaft zerk and nut. It'll take a little extra...

    zd326 uneven cut

    For an even cut with almost any deck start out on a flat concrete floor. Adjust the deck running height by whatever means yours has by measuring between the floor and the bottom of the mower KNIVES at the tips, not the deck edge. I like to measure with the knives parallel to the direction of...

    Love the flail mower

    My M4500 had a 6 ft mid-mount flail boom mower on it when I bought it. Worked pretty well, but was in the way for what I bought the tractor for. Sold it for a third of what I paid for the tractor & mower together.

    Love the flail mower

    I have a small 36 inch flail mower made by MC company, has its own 8 hp engine. It's pretty handy for rough stuff, tight places with high weeds etc. Will mow off anything that you can manage to drag it over.

    Getting rid of BAMBOO

    Regular Roundup does not have any have any residual activity in the soil. You can plant a new "crop" in an area treated with roundup immediately after application. Crossbow is a selective broadleaf herbicide, bamboo is a grass, won't work (except maybe at insanely high rates, which would be "off...

    Getting rid of BAMBOO

    University of Florida says Imazapyr (Arsenal) or Glyphosate (Roundup). But there are no products actually "labeled" for bamboo control in the US. Would be better from a "legal" herbicide application standpoint if there were at least a labeled target weed growing in with it.

    Proof of Global Warming

    I live in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Most all geologists would agree that from my front porch I could have once seen (assuming I could go back in time) the leading edge of at least three glacial advances (they happened to have terminated in this area of central Ohio). I have decided that I am rather...

Has it's own 16 hp Kohler opposed twin engine. Can mow a circle around a telephone pole with out stopping. Cut my mowing time...

    Fringe Farming

    Amusing pics. I guess pick-up trucks are an American thing! The hog confinement issue is one for concern. People who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about demanding changes in the way we handle livestock production. BTW, in Ohio it was HSUS (Humane Scociety of the United States)...

    Cylinder Liner Trouble

    If you can find someone with a sleeve puller set they'll have a few "pucks" of varying sizes. If they have the size you need is a good question. For a few bucks a local machine shop could likely make one from a chunk of scrap. Regarding the pre-sized sleeve and piston kits, again I don't know...

    Cylinder Liner Trouble

    Your worst case scenario is the best option for a good repair. New liners/pistons/rings. However, you might be able to pull that liner back up into place and get by if you're carefull. Start by first pulling the pan and checking the liner positions at the bottom to make sure it wasn't a short...
