Thanks Eric, I checked that out. All the rental places around here don't rent grinders anymore. Something about the liability of renting one. The place you listed has a location about a 100 miles from me. It showed $265 a day for a grinder. Does that sound about right? The trackhoe cost me...

This is a perfect example of following up on all the little things before doing something drastic. Some times it's something small that causes a big head ache. Glad you got your tractor running again.

I'm not sure about the oil check plug. My b 7100 had a dip stick on it. As far as the oil, I never had a book for my tractor but the dealer told me it required 85w140 gear oil. I have no idea if that was correct but I ran it for 16 yrs (over 6000 hrs) without any trouble from my diff. If I...

I may be wrong but I thought that HST tractors required SUDT fluid. Unless the dealer did something on their own it came out new from the factory with SUDT in it. If you didn't have the noise before and now you do it makes me wonder. The only difference between new and now is the grade of oil if...

Thanks for that link TopGear, Wow, that looks great. From what I could tell in the pics you had some sweet looking welds laid down. I guess every body looks at things differently but I love to see a nice clean weld. I have been welding for myself for over 30 yrs now so I understand the tallent...

I was a little off on the weight of my box scrape I posted before. I have a Bushhog BX 650 (5 1/2') and the real weight is 511 lbs. I have been very pleased with it for scraping and as a counter weight as well.

Yall both said it on this one. Eric, It really sux the first time you go to service this tractor and start looking for the fuel shut off. Search for a while, can't find it. Get the manual out and read, can't find it. Back to the tractor and look some more, still can't find it. Rant and...

I think Aquaforce makes a good point. I don't know what your manual says but niether of mine say anything about using 15w40 oil. 10w30 is listed as the best all temp oil and 10w40 in certain climates. Even though the dealer says that 15w40 is okay to run. The engine designer rated 10w30 for a...

I'm curious about something. What do stump grinders cost in other areas. The man I just did all the work for checked on one and it was very expensive. Even with the economy so bad they still wanted $1.55 per inch. At that rate a 24" stump would cost $37.20. We stopped counting at 55 trees. A...

Slim, I have a few friends that run from Georgia to about anywhere on the west coast every week. I will be sure to pass the word along to them. I hope everything will work out in a good way and your daughter will come home to you safe and unharmed. You and your family will be in our thoughts...

I think Pat331 made a very good point. Some of the others may be able to confirm this for you. Does this model tractor have a decompression release on them? If so, couldn't that be used as apposed to removing the glow plugs? I'm not sure on this model about the de-com knob.

I understand your concern about the paint. My L 3000 doesn't have anything to protect the paint on the floorboard either. This pic is of the step I built for mine but you can see a little bit of the floor at the top. If it makes you feel any better , the tractor is a 2000 model and I have...

I know what you meant with the gel comment. I just had to poke at you a little. Water in fuel in a killer on a diesel. Most people have never been taught or even heard that they need to fill up their tank at the end of the day while it's still hot. The natural cooling down process will create a...

Is there any way the system got contaminated; Line replacement,Add fliud ect...? I only ask because it seems strange that it went from good to bad so quick and the filter and pump showing to be good. I agree with KubotaTech, If you are sure about the filter it's time to check the flow.

I have never heard of diesel fuel gelling in the summer time? I have heard of it in the winter but not the summer. How does that work?

I would start looking at all the brake linkage first. Maybe you will get lucky and it will be sticking some where. The diff oil should check where you check the trans oil as they are the same .

Eric is almost correct in saying what he did. I am a Amsoil dealer but I have never tried to sell it to anyone at OTT. I became a dealer just so it would be easier for me to get for my own use. Judging by the what Eric said that I guess I must be boring him Sharing a few things that Amsoil has...

That's a good deal, glad to hear that you fixed it. Good luck.

Hi TopGear, Nice install on the hr. meter. You should put us a pic of the rest of that shiny orange machine. It sure looks good from what is showing in that pic.

That sounds great. Did it crank like it should after you did the PM on it?
