    It can swing when plowing. It can swing when running down the road. On the trailer by law it has to have securement so i do the same … put bucket on the deck and chain it. I wouldn’t trust any hoe without both locks engaged in my shop next to my classic cars.or going down the road in traffic...

    Compression issue

    Sounds like a spun rod bearing and piston top hit head because of clearance in rod.Whatever it is good advise to shut it off and start the deep dive into motor. Pull the oil filter off and cut it open carefully not useing anything that makes metal chips ( tin snips or filter cutter). Look at...

    White smoke

    Don’t feel to bad. Took my Mercedes in for an emissions recall (i do all my own work never goes to dealer). The recall had to have oil drained. Dummies at dealer over filled by 7 quarts. Only takes 7. They doubled it. Experts aint always expert.. glad you fixed it easy..

    Cylinder not working

    Nope. ATF has been used for years on injectors and other engine parts. It actually works ok. It certainly will not hurt . Used it on Detroits and Cummins. Have personally seen pretty good results.

    Piston Marking? D1105

    I have seen the c mark on a different brand of motor and always seemed to line up with CAM side of block so you dont put pistons on rods wrong way. I dont think i would put new pistons in a used bore. Bore it oversized or clean up ole pistons. Pistons in ultrasonic cleaned and rings should...

    kubota 2250 wont start

    Good luck. Fill the fuel filter it will help bleed the system.. quicker.Little starting fluid aint gonna hurt. Just dont use the glow plugs. Becareful on something like this that you do short cranks on starter. If it gets real hot you’ll be buying a started after you get it running 👍👍👍

    kubota 2250 wont start

    If its starts on either ? you have enough electrical juice to run it.If it started water is gone from cylinders …You have a fuel delivery problem. Check fuel filter and fuel shut off. You may need a battery after it runs on battery charger. Maybe have water in fuel. Pull filter and see if clean...

    Upgraded platform step

    Nice step…. Is it steel or cast? Like to weld one to my backhoe. But not wanting to bolt it on. Cast is no go for me to weld. Great idea!

    Simple fab day. Brackets for ROP lights

    Thanks! Yes in the past on my skid steers i kept the hooks in line with cylinders.. also think thats the best. These light weight buckets on the LA350 loader need a bit of extra plating i think. Big PITA will be a cutting edge for bucket . Hopefully i have time to go find a suitable cutting...
