    How cold & white is it where you at present.

    ya....... sucks to be here I guess.... it was 50 today, lots better than the -4 a week ago. I'll probably feel a lot warmer with the heat soon to come my way! :-)

    Post hole digging issue with a BX22

    I can only tell you my "procedure", I'm sure there are many approaches better than mine, I lay no claim to expertise! I only start with a non-rotating auger, if necessary checking for straightness and correct position. Once correct I put only a little pressure on it so it'll push the center...

    M7040 Pto light on.No start.

    The PTO switch connects to the coil of the PTO safety relay. Either the switch is stuck/defective or the relay is. You'll have to check them out with an ohmmeter.

    Sheilding gas

    Dieseldude.. The agron mix is plenty good for any mig body work. You could use plain CO2 but the welds won't be as pretty. I've used both and prefer the mix. I think it makes a stronger weld as well. BTW...... no one brazes anymore I'm aware of. At least not anyone in the business...

    first time pto

    Yep..... my Landpride bushhog is a real pain to couple up! I've taken to wiping the spline down every time and lubing it. I've been waiting 4 years for it to loosen up but it's not happened yet!

    Slow INTERNET

    Like everyone has said, there are many causes....... one thing in specific I've noticed in general is that many,many websites are relying more on java script and flash renditions. They are not making the pages faster- bigger, sometimes much bigger to load and slower of course. I noticed after...

    Whining

    Eric, Every site I've EVER hung out on, regardless of subject matter is repetitious ad-nauseum! Even if the search engines worked the way they "used" to a lot can't or won't use them to effect. In regards to this site specifically I think most know or soon know tractors and farm equipment in...

    M class front axle question

    Reasons given above ^ also in my manual it's listed as a no-no to reverse the "cup" outwards if you have a loader as it increases the loading on the hub dramatically.

    Rear axle broke right inside cover

    Age and metal fatigue are what comes to mind. Just outside the bearings is the highest stress point (IMHO). After 34 years or so, if it's been worked hard I'm not sure you can hardly fault it. Should be able to find a replacement in a tractor graveyard.

    2011 model M-6040

    yep.... it'll only activate around freezing and at that you'll have to watch to see the indicator. I've never had it get colder than the 20's here since I've had mine and it'll only come on for perhaps a couple seconds then.

    Voltage Drop / No Start

    Either you're not charging or the battery is toast. Try charging the battery via battery charger and see if it holds the charge. If so you have a charging problem, if not then it's the battery.

    M7040 hydraulic filter advice needed

    In my opinion.... the 50 hr. oil changes may well be the most important ones of the machines life. It rids the machine of the initial machining/assembly and break-in particles. It cost me (3 years ago) right at $200 for all the oils for the 50 hr. and I'd do it again.

    WAY OT Ammo

    Justin..... I'd have to think there's literally millions of us out here that put the CCI products as the best! We're grateful for both the quality product and the devoted labor of making it for us! Ron

    M7040 Fuel problem

    The only vent I spy on my tank runs from the top of the tank to the top (almost) of the filler tube. Next time you run it I would try breaking the fuel tank cap off perhaps a 1/4 turn or so and see it that makes a difference. Only other thing that comes to mind is a line that's crimped and or...

    Sta-bil??

    Eric, I don't see anything close to Richmond but you can check at buyrealgas.com Replying to the op I've had much problems with Sta-Bil if kept more than seasonal only. I'll chip in as has been said, best to use once a month or so to keep everything turned over!
