The Biggest Surprise was…..the fuel-mileage. My gasser got only 17 mpg ordinarily…and pulling the trailer it’d go to 11 mpg…and some folks told me that was Good! Diesel costs about 30-cents/gal more than gasoline in my area. But this truck gets 17-19 mpg ordinarily….and 15-16 pulling the...

Don’t worry about the “Yings”….. Start worrying when your YANG …HANG s ….🥵 As Willie reputedly wrote: My nookie days are over, my pilot light is out. What used to be my pride and joy, is now my water spout. Time was when, on its own accord, from my trousers it would spring. But now I’ve...

Agreed! November is when it usually occurs. I wrote incorrectly about Sept. (bran pharrt) Diesel is usually stored in large tanks, often underground, and despite lower temps occurring in the atmosphere, the fuel being pumped is ordinarily much warmer. Fuel sitting in Your vehicle might be...

Bevel Case seal takes about 2-3 hrs if you‘ve got the parts, and don’t make the mistake I made first time. (Remove ALL the old seal or you’ll end up doing it twice.) BTDT https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/front-axle-bevel-case-oil-seal-replacement.56731/

Perhaps I’m mis-reading your intent, but I think the OPPOSITE is true. Questioning the safety is indicative of a level of safety-consciousness that is appropriate and leads to safe operations. Experienced farmers kill themselves on tractors every year. A good friend of ours, a rice-farmer...

Russell, You Do come up with some Good Ideas. (y)

Porta-power if you have access to one. Otherwise, a bottle-jack and a 6x6 cut to length to jack the front against the back..??

I use an “evacuator” (some are called ”extractor”) on SOME of my equipment….but not all. I bought a tank-style from HF and it does a good job….… (contrary to popular opinion, I find they extract MORE oil than most drain-plugs.) … BUT…. not on my tractor, for example, because that engine has a...

Same here. I bought a ‘24 Ram 2500 w/Cummins …. didn’t particularly want a diesel truck…and don’t really need it…but my gasser was wrecked out of town and had to pull the travel—trailer back home and that’s all the dealership had which met my other needs….(crewcab/Ramboxes). … Meanwhile… Yes...

You forgot to mention your affinity for the smell of gunsmoke. 🤠

Yeah, Wolfman! Old and Tired was just tellin’ the OP what HE thought the Dealer MEANT… Here’s another example of how accurate Old and Tired is when he reads other people’s minds: 🤣 ;):p (jes givin’ you a hard time, Old…) 😅

Buy a bunch of small fish and toss ‘em into that pond and FEED THE PET HERON! (I like blue herons a Lot more than fish and frogs. LOL)

Dear “rkh Kubota”… I don’t think anyone failed to read your question completely. I believe it (your original post) was taken to mean that When you reach 50 hrs you have no incentive to perform the 50 hrs service based upon some (questionable) advice given by “somone” at “Kubota”. I also...

^^^^ THIS **** Do NOT use Grade 8 bolts in basic-frame attachments. A “pin” is SUPPOSED to Shear…. instead of expensive damage to major equipment and tractor-frames. (and carefully reconsider / avoid using Grade 5) IMO

Here’s a handy chart which compares Metric and SAE tool sizes: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/docs/documents/1607/wrench_inches_to_mm_conversion_chart.png

That’s an interesting speed/ratio control on that machine. I LIKE it! Congrats.

^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^ It’s all made out of compressed rice-hulls so it doesn’t take up much room. 🤡

Yep. I know what you mean. I had a (now gone West) friend and aircraft mechanic who used to have an Olds 455 V8 jet-drive boat. He had been tuning it up one week..and next weekend I saw him at Lake Somerville …bobbing around the lake with a big-chested girl who looked bored… When Willie saw...

I know you meant well….. but …It doesn’t matter where I live. I suggested he buy his fuel LOCALLY …I.E., to HIM…so his fuel will be pre-treated according to his locale. I followed up with addt’l info that I believe to be germane also.

If not necessary, buy your fuel locally from a well-known retailer who has lots of traffic. Why? Because that fuel will be frequently delivered and will already be treated for the season. Beginning around Sept freshly-delivered fuel will already be pre-treated with anti-gel. (Since we don’t...
