    Finding a water leak in a buried line

    I have a underground pvc water line that has sprung a leak somewhere. The line runs from my house to chicken coop is about 150' in length. and is buried 4-5' below grade below the frost line. Is there a way to find this leak without randomly digging holes?

    Biobor

    Read in another post about Biobor JF which is good for removing microbial contamination and improved lubricity. Looked into this stuff and saw that there is also a Biobor MD which runs cleaner, cleans injectors, and also does some other stuff, but doesn't remove bacteria. Which would be better...

    Box or Grading Scraper?

    My driveway is overdue for some TLC and I’m thinking of getting a box scraper or grading scraper, and not sure which would be better for my needs. I’ve used a rear blade to do this in the past, but I can’t get a good finish, I always dig deeper in some spots than I want to and thought a scraper...

    Snowblower Hydraulic Chute movement question

    I have an L2195A Snowblower with the hydraulic chute. To turn the chute to the left I move the loader control lever to the left. To move the chute to the right I have to push the lever all the way to the right past the detent to get the chute to move. Why does it work this way? I would thing...

    Three point, Lift Capacity

    My tractor has a lift force of 3860lbs at the lift points and 2980lbs 24" beyond the lift points. This is a difference of 880lbs in 2 feet. Is there a linear decrease in weight the further out you go? In other words, do you lose 440lbs lift force for every foot past the lift points? (Mod Edit...

    Rear Remotes

    Thinking of adding two rear remotes to my tractor. There are three slots available for levers, a longer one next to the 3 point hitch lever and three shorter ones further back. Where would the levers for the added rear remotes be installed?

    Blue Diamond Flail Mower

    Looking to purchase a flail mower and a local dealer sells the Blue Diamond brand. I'm interested in the model #403730 or 403740. I did a search here and found nothing mentioned about these. Anyone have any inputs on these?

    How to add Flail Mower Offset capability to the hydraulics on my tractor

    I am looking into a 3-point hitch flail mower on my L5740HSC-3 tractor and am considering one that has a hydraulic cylinder to offset the mower to the side of the tractor. What would I need to add to my tractor hydraulic system to provide this capability? I have a hydraulic coupler off the back...

    Remote 3-point hitch control

    Don't know the correct terminology, but I've seen some tractors with a lever to control the 3-point hitch from in back of the tractor. Is there a kit or something that I can add to my L5740 cab tractor? Sure would be easier than having to go back to the cab lever.

    Diesel Fuel Additives?

    Should I use them or not? I’ve had an issue in the winter with fuel jelling when temperatures get very cold. I started using a diesel additive in the winter to prevent this and it has worked, and I was also considering using them year-round as the additive manufacturers recommend. However, a...

    Picking up a L2195A

    I have forks on the FEL with 7' extensions on them that I use to pick up and move the snowblower around. I pick it up from underneath which works, but not the easiest way. I would like to pick it up from the top by attaching chains with hooks and some kind of brackets on both ends of the...

    HST For Dummies

    I am really trying to understand how the hydrostatic transmission in my tractor works. I have read the WSM on how the various operating modes work but it assumes you know the terminology and what the various parts are/do. Is there a site somewhere in the internet world where I can learn all of this?

    Front Axle oil filling process

    Seems that filling the front axle with gear oil is a several day process. The manual says it takes 9.5 qts but after about 6 qts it starts leaking out the fill hole. Wait a while and it will only take a little more. I check if every few hours after running the tractor and every time I check it...

    L5740 Stall Guard

    Noticed today that the Stall Guard feature isn't working. When selecting from the mode switch the Stall Guard isn't displayed on the instrument panel and Stall Guard isn't working. All other HSC features work fine. Any inputs on how this works and where I should start poking around?

    L5740HSC front axle grease fitting

    Hope I can explain this so it makes sense. There are a couple of grease fittings in the front axle pivot area. One is in front of the axle and has a plug that is removed to allow the old grease to come out when greasing this fitting. There is another grease fitting on the back side of the axle...
