    I haven't seen metric ones, tho' inch versions exist from multiple ag machinery aftermarket suppliers:

    Top link question

    This might be a wild suggestion, given that I don't know your tractor, implements, or what you do with it, but have you considered a hydraulic top link. You'd have to fit up power beyond (if it is feasible on yours) hoses and valve so it wouldnt be cheap, but offsetting the cost of a new...

    Broken axle M4500

    Sorry to hear of that. Thanks for the pix. You going to get a replacement? Did anything else get busted what that happened?

    M9540 intermittent stiff steering

    Not sure what you mean by that, but I came across one case where a ball joint nearly seized due to water ingress and lack of lube and it made the power steering inconsistently stiff. By nearly seize I mean so tight it was almost impossible to move even with substantial leverage.

    Solar Electric Fencer

    Using a shunt? (I've limited knowledge!) Also I was told that the energy (kJ)was just as or more important than the kV. Is that true?

    Advice from experts on M4500DT : Rebuild or DIY or Sell

    Never seen anything in the WSM about priming. There may be a service bulletin about it perhaps, Whitetiger or 007Kubotaguy would probably know if there was.

    Water pump leak

    Sorry you've had no progress. Answering the 4 questions above would help me, maybe others. No. 4 is asking for a photo of the leak, not roughly where it is on a new engine. So does that mean that you don't know where the fluid is actually emerging from? Until you discover that, I don't think I...

    Stuck in the Mud: How Right to Repair Could Save Farmers Billions

    I think the French are onto a better approach than the Colorado legislation. They've had something in place since 2021 for certain consumer electrical/electronic goods. Quite a good summary here, after 1 year's use: https://www.ifixit.com/News/64508/french-repair-index-one-year-later Key...

    Stuck in the Mud: How Right to Repair Could Save Farmers Billions

    I agree, I don't get it either. I read the bill https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1011 and the only added protection seems that the parts, codes, diagnostic equipment etc needs to be made available at a fair and reasonable price. Who is going to try working out what a fair and reasonable...

    Solar Electric Fencer

    You made a nice job of the wiring! Effective grounding is absolutely crucial. Both my hand-held testers (different brands, one looks very similar to yours) usually shows a HIGHER voltage than the reading on the energiser display. I queried the energiser company about this and they said it was...

    Stuck in the Mud: How Right to Repair Could Save Farmers Billions

    Great article. Doesn't say if the diagnostic tools, software documents, and repair manuals is free, is it retrospective, and if not free, what price... enough to scare people off and preserve the status quo? The "unintended consequences" that Deere refers to sounds, well, potentially...

    Stuck in the Mud: How Right to Repair Could Save Farmers Billions

    That's a very interesting article, and thank you for sharing. It's not easy to put numbers to the discussion and what you have provided is a good start. I support the R2R concept, hell I've been really pissed at the number of times I can't get parts for something completely repairable...

    Be a part of Broken by Design: A Documentary on Right-to-Repair

    Already some interesting info above. Thanks Darren. Patrick, presumably out of the doco you will have some ideas for action to occur. I expect you will be giving the manufacturers a right to reply. It would be interesting to have Frigidaire explain the $54 water filter :) and then you ask...
