I use a spray can of "chain lube", which is graphite. Same product I use on a trencher, which lives in the dirt.

Have you sharpened the mower blades? That can make a big difference in what you're trying to do. If you have the tractor in 540 PTO, blades sharp, and you have clutch slipping simply gear down, go slower or raise the deck and cut it twice. I had a B6100 with a belly mower and I cut grass for...

If you get a minute to check out hydraulics that would be nice. I haven't even gone to look at the thing. If it had a joystick valve on it I would have bought it sight unseen, but no such luck. Fabrication is something I enjoy. When I bought my B8200 in 1985 I bought a belly mower for it...

Islandguy, if you're tracking in off the drive after a rain, you can order some small washed rock and spread it as thin as you can/want. It will eliminate that.

As suggested, it could be the oil pressure drops enough for the light to come on after warming up. I think the light comes on at 7 PSI. But put a gauge on it and know the number. If it's low you can do a search on the forum and get additional information, but I have removed the front of the...

I don't have any pictures of it as it set when I originally looked at it. Front tires were cracked, flat and one coated with grease. Setting in a field. My wife wouldn't get out of the truck, and when I came back she said, "You didn't buy that did you?" This is after I put some old truck...

North, Thanks for your reply. I haven't seen the tractor first hand, only pictures. Do you think it the aux. pump causing the interference with the hood opening? I can't imagine a loader itself being so close it would cause any trouble! Is there a diagram somewhere to show how the loader...

Here's a link with some ideas from some 'ole timers. You'll notice some don't turn around on steep hills. http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=92045

You indicated the replacement mower is 168# heavier and now the front is too light. I'd add about 168# if the old mower wasn't too much.

Found a loader for sale. It's on an L295DT. It's a Kubota brand loader, but model number is not to be seen!! Owner said the hood is removed from the tractor because it can not be raised because of the loader. Has an auxiliary front PTO pump which interferes with the hood raising. I am...

I have a couple of fields of grass with trees in and on the edges. I try to keep the growth at the edge controlled and ever to move back into the trees some. I have a 200 gal. tank on an axle (trailer) that has a wand with about 25' of hose. On the back of the trailer, behind the tank, I...

Tell us what your intended use is and area you're spraying and you may get some advise to help out.

If you're going to use crushed rock, you could just order a load of "screenings" to spread on top. You can take a garden hose and wet it down a couple of times and soon it will be as tight a concrete. This material is the left overs from the crusher and will pack tight. It's also the cheapest...

It's a rotary hoe. Used to bust up dirt clods after plowing a field. They work excellent for braking up manure piles after cattle have grazed a field. No additional weight required. Put three gangs together and do a field in a hurry.

Where ever you get the O-rings make sure they're metric and comparable with diesel. Close fitting isn't good enough.

Daren, how you replacing the plug? You're talking about the one in the end of the camshaft? Dealers suggest disassembling the engine. You can remove the radiator and front cover off the engine and weld a tapered roller bearing in the hole. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD GROUND! The hole was...

Your question on threads, fine or course? I copied this from a machinist forum. Much more info then you need but it might help someone else also. And part of their discussion was use of fine threads in plastic. The answer is a variable. It is based on the material used for both the screw...

As already mentioned, peen it on an anvil or old RR iron. Then reinforce the backside with a piece of iron with a new hole drilled and preferably weld to the buggered piece. If you have a torch you probably have a welder. Drill the hole the correct size, insert a bolt thru the new piece and...

If you want to make a flow restrictor you can go to the hydraulic supply and get a union (like you want to connect two line together. Take a wire welder and fill in the fitting! Don't do a perfect job, you need a very small hole. If you do weld it complete, just drill a hole. Remove the line...

MagKarl, your description is exactly why I put it under the bench. It made splitting wood MORE work, not less. When it gets bogged down and stalls you get to finish the splitting in a compromised position with it attached to the screwed in wedge. Then if you use your chainsaw to get it off...
