    Roll Bar Noise

    I'm guessing he is working on the principle how a wheel on a vehicle can start to wobble at 55MPH and disappear a 60 or one can play a sound by rubbing the rim of a glass of water at a certain speed It may help to slacken the frame bolts and then re tighten them. Dave

    valve adjustment for my kubota

    If tightening the rocker bolts stops the engine from starting then its probably compressing the valves because the decompression lever/cable is frozen or not properly adjusted. Just make sure the decompression button is fully in and there is a little free play on the lever on the rocker cover...

    Damage to my Zen noh

    What grade of oil is this Traveller Universal stuff? the front axle and gearbox takes 80/90weight oil in my b7100 which is the same as your B7001. That pto seal is the least of your worries and if you decide to fix first I would not advise driving around doing more damage until you've looked...

    Ive used a four wheeled/tine version of these quite a bit,we call them an "acrobat" turner. They roll the grass up into a long coil and are ok if you can row in long straight runs but turns and going around obsticles can get messy and you still have to pick it up! I would much prefer the...

    Engine Rebuilder: Need help from experienced mechanic

    Its very unlikely but to eliminate possible engine seizure,check your oil level is ok. Have you bled the line all the way from the tank to the low presure side of the fuel pump? you don't normally need to turn the engine over for this. Once fuel is running freely from there you can start...
