    different kinds of fuel

    When I was growing up in the hills of WV we used "drip" gas from oil water separators at the gas well heads. Thr price was reasonable as we bought is with a WV credit card (i.e. a hose and 5 gallon gas can;)) Butch

    another hydrolic question - really a continuation of some other posts

    The hydro pump is working fine otherwise you would not be able to lift with the 3 point hitch the way you did. The power beyond is working in the FEL control valve. Here is a question... did the "Brand" valve come with the tractor as OEM or was it a replacement for the original valve? Just for...

    A few new-guy questions

    I use an 80W-90 in my gearbox and it is a synthetic lube. The color is dark green... that's because it contains an antifoaming agent in it .... or so I was informed by the lube mfg.:confused: Butch

    another hydrolic question - really a continuation of some other posts

    CJ... I believe you are talking about the 3 pt hitch lowering valve that controls the rate of lowering an implement. mine is located under the front side of my seat. The adjustable relief valve I am talking abot is on the FEL hydro control valve... the relief valve assembly just threads into...

    another hydrolic question - really a continuation of some other posts

    C-Jack... I think that is the one Vic is talking about. If you set up is like mine the hydro oil goes from the pump through a metal line to a junction block on the right side of the tractor just inside the brake petals. What that block does is divert the oil flow from the metal line up and...

    posting pix of my tractor

    Guys... with me it is always "form follows function". With me and tractors it is all about performance, power, longevity, dependability.... and somewhere down that line is appearance. Just give thanks it ain't green for gosh sakes:D Nice tractor Eddie! I have a B2410 which has almost 950 hours...

    Grabbing clutch with a hydraulic shuttle shift

    GWD... this is why I like this site... the folks here convert my lack of understanding and unfortunately sometimes ignorance into solid knowledge that I can learn from. Not to mention we do have a lot of fun poking at each others costs of our learning curve. Lessons learned and shared on this...

    Leaving forum

    Will... wish we could have helped more. One suggestion though... don't leave the forum as you could be the vangard for the Kubota ZD folks. I have watched the the threads and would like to learn more just for the sake of learning so my suggestion is to not leave the forum.... but on the other...

    what diesel additives do you use?

    Hey Scott... I have never pic'd the refueling bulk tank for my diesel stuff however it is a real simple set up. I got my wall mount 110 v diesel transfer pump from Northern Tool along with a diesel auto shutoff dispenser valve... just like in a fueling station. The bulk tank is a DOT 300 gal...

    what diesel additives do you use?

    Whiskey5th.... I use HOWEs additative. What Howes does is just keep the pariffin from separating from the fuel in cold weather. If per chance you are storing bulk fuel (300 gal) I'd suggest something to preserve the fuel and prevent "crud" from forming. I use about 300 gal a year and the antigel...

    upgrade Hyd pump

    Could you give us all the info found on the valve itself along with some pics of the valve installed on the tractor. Then lets go from there. The pic you posted looks like it is from the relief valve to the left of the raise lower spool cylinder. If it is a Husco monovalve... they are pretty...

    Spreading manure

    Amen!:) I have to write something else because when I tried to send "amen" it said it was too short of a message. I have always found when the conversation turns to politics and crap... it is best to keep the response short, to the point, and above the fray. Now with that being said... all...

    what diesel additives do you use?

    I use Howe Diesel Fuel additive in my bulk fuel tank.... antigelling and stabilizer all in one. A bit pricy but works well... recommended to me by a Mobil Oil Petro engineer. Butch
