3M 8008 weatherstrip adhesive is my go-to. I also use it as a tattle tale drain plug marking seal on all customers vehicles …… until yesterday.

Still here…. Sorry, I’ve been a little busy

I carry a 20v leaf blower when brush hogging

You‘re welcome. I just discovered the place myself… great guys to deal with. Do yourself a favor, seal up that crack with cheap silicone caulk and pressure wash it before you pull it apart. That’s a lot of dirt.

I know for sure Wengers in Myerstown, PA has an L4600 on the lot…. I was eyeballing the wheels on it. https://www.wengers.com/ EDIT: When I got the reading glasses, it saw the cross model was L4610 Give them a call anyway…. They had my gear case.

Update Back to work before noon, and before the rain…..

After this yesterday … https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/what-did-you-do-to-or-on-your-kubota-today.6326/post-633308 and not looking forward to this… I found this…. I jumped in the car this morning, drove two hours to Wengers in Meyerstown for the used spindle, another...

All I can say is the same reason planes fall out of the sky, crankshafts and rods break, etc… metal fatigue. Glad it broke there instead of the axle housing or the lower case. I’ll post the fix in service, repair and maintenance.

Now that the rain has stopped, I had plans on continuing moving a pile of gravel to inside concrete forms….. in ankle deep oatmeal. Then…. 🤬💩😡 Sounded like 9mm shot when it let go. Luckily there was no other damage..

It’s a single wire unit on that which pulls the linkage. Unplugging it will be an easy test. The only time it should pull is when the key is turned off for a few seconds.

On the downside I had a Camry hybrid in for an OBD emissions test which failed due to the MIL lamp on and a code for an under spec hybrid battery. He knew it because he was already quoted in excess of $8000 for a replacement from a Toyota dealer. I guess he was hoping I’d let it slide. Someone...

Many of the wasp & hornet sprays contain mineral spirits which will destroy an EPDM roof. The water based ones will be safe to use. Read the label.

50 years as a mechanic and I‘m not ashamed to say way less than 1% of my hand tools came out of a truck…. only because of the $$$$$$$. Really didn’t sound like the op has access to a tool truck.

You’re better off with an Allen socket than an L shaped wrench. It’s much easier to control leverage and keep it square in the plug. Another secret is to take the socket to a belt sander to knock the chamfer off the end. That will allow the hex to go in deeper and give you the little extra bite...

Why are you replacing rings with .7 hours on them?

No reason to… if you can’t get them with the magnet they won’t hurt anything. Something doesn't look right with that gauge guide and bracket, like it’s bent or just misaligned.… aiming the gauge where it doesn’t belong.

Sweeps the first 2 stages at Fontana …

After you get it clean, you can also throw plain old baby powder on the area. It will leave tell tale streaks and help with pin pointing the leak.
