Standard retired army dude ammo can tool box. I got the 50 cal version. Holds more stuff

Big Daddy used to light a puddle of gas under the oil pan of his swamp rat.. Way back in the day folks would put a bucket of hot coals under their tractor. Amazing how far we've advanced.

I'm curious what fluid Kubota called for 20 years ago on that tractor. My L45 manual says UDT or SUDT

Good quality vinyl zip ties are surprisingly strong, and not cheap.

Bringing a Herk back to Robbins from Okinawa we spent the night on Kwajalein. Woke up in the middle of the night to an absolutely pitch black room. No idea where I was. Stubbed my toes and hit my shins on every piece of furniture while stumbling around the room before I ran into the curtains and...

Ha, I might be under thinking it. I've progressed from a hand file(back when I couldn't afford power tools) to the flap disc. If it takes more than five minutes I feel like I'm doing it wrong. I care about the angle and not getting the blade too hot. I try not to get it too hot to touch.

"Show him your badge"

Yall are sparking up some old brain cells. I remember both metal and paper cans but don't remember if it was oil or transmission fluid. Bought a house in 85 and remember using the old punch spout there. This was NW FL. I still have a metal can of GM positraction additive which I think is whale...

Guy signs up asking for help, gets shamed, doesn't come back. Is that what this place is all about? I hope he gets his problem sorted out.

He said it was blowing black smoke while trying to start. Weird, that's why I asked. The most common glow plug...

Stayed at a hotel in Osan, Korea. Early 90s bathroom was smaller than that. You could literally sh!t, shower, and shave all at the same time. Pretty efficient.

I loaded mine because even with the BH on it I was running out of traction before I was running out of power.

The splash oiled engines needed ND oil, most common was 30w. If you have an air cooled engine with a pressurized oil system then multi-grade HD oil is probably what's recommended in the manual.

Yeah, the TLBs are not just a tractor they threw a backhoe on. Good video here.

Are you sure it's blowing black smoke while trying to start?

Blast them with brake cleaner before you put them on.

What sort of tires you got on the trailer? Most trailer manufacturers tire specs are cheap, round and black. And round and black are optional. Got a spare? Going to change it yourself or get roadside assistance?

Back in my single bar hopping days there was a drunk guy bragging that he put jet fuel in his mustang and it made much more power. Must have been that "high octane" jet fuel. That was back when the USAF was still running JP4.
