I'd recommend first disconnecting the battery. Yes you can run a striped down version. The wires melted due to a short or major overload. Did any fuses blow? Separate the affected wires to determine the extent of the damage, if not too bad then can be reinsulated with shrink tube and crimp...

It's not a frozen stud, it's a character builder. Good luck

Once the cover is removed, determine if the threaded holes are through the casting or if they're blind holes, if threaded through you'll need sealant as Wolfman said, if blind then the anti-seize will suffice.

50 years and run hours are two different things. The amount of rust below the crack indicates that you were losing coolant. If you want dependability and reliability keep up with repairs when first discovered and perform those repairs to the best of your abilities and within you financial...

In your first picture by your index finger is that a crack in the cover, if so will you repair the crack or replace it? If other methods to remove the remaining stud doesn't work, could you cut the cover to release the stud then remove it. If this cover is part of the head assembly then would...

As always do as you feel is best. I agree with the others, I'd remove the fan and make it easier to deal with the stud removal, I hope it doesn't happen but if the stud twist off leaving the threaded portion in the block you'll have a mess. What you don't know is weather the stud is frozen in...

Recap, a "V" deep enough that if you went in, could flip a UTV, downhill, straight, erosion, doesn't rain much. How did the "V" get there to begin with? Whatever you add to bring the "V" up to grade needs to be incorporated and compacted into both sides of the trail to act as a unit. If water...

As always do as you feel is best. You're correct to wait for drier weather. I'd consider breaking up the soil down to at least the bottom of the "V" and then crown it. If you have a cultipacker seed it. If not and you have R-4 tires then load the bucket wit bricks, seed it and walk the tractor...

Nice tractor! If you haven't any hard money up, consider buying a kit from Summit install it yourself and shop for a grapple that suits your needs then go to work.

Is it possible to upsize the bolts? Is it possible to install a bushing in the frame with the OD the size of the hole, the ID the size of the bole and the same thickness as the frame.

Consider a couple of loads of sand, it'll tighten it up. Just my .02

Keep the one you have for tamping in fence posts and cutting roots in a hole. Google "True Temper" 11562500, 66inch pinch bar. If you bend it you're a very strong person. Carrying it around a work area will give you a workout. It works great for fitting 8,10 and 12 inch SDR-35 pipe/fittings...

I agree with protecting yourself, for a long time I thought getting burned somewhere was part of the welding process. Gloves with holes in the fingers is another no no.

Be reminded that all treated wood is not the same. I fortunately live around New Orleans and can readily get marine grade (.8 and 2.5 CCA) treated lumber ( rough and smooth), I use it for everything house sills, bulkheads, wood racks, trailers, wall plates, etc.

When you checked the oil was the dipstick bottoming out or seated in the dipstick receiving tube? As always do as you feel is best. If the model and serial are available search Perkins for oil capacity and if an original dipstick is available. I'm certain Perkins didn't design the dipstick to...

I agree it looks like a broken gear tooth. It might not be the only one the one in the picture happened to make it to the filter, another one could jamming the lift arm. I wouldn't keep trying to operate the lift so as not to cause anymore problems. before pulling did you drain the oil, was...

If you go through the effort to disassemble, consider using Loctite 545 on the threads of the fittings.

I used a Summit kit for my MX5100 with a Ansung loader. Once you have the push button handle and solenoid's, the rest is hoses fittings and brackets. I placed the solenoid's to the inboard side of the loader support to be better protected. I used longer hoses and made sure everything...

I tighten fasteners accordingly, sometimes I change the nuts to either ny-loc's or distorted thread. Some fasteners i.e. loader, wheels, etc. get Locite 243, Permatex orange or anti-seize depending. I use a white paint pen and place horizonal lines across the bolt or nut/stud. A quick visual...

If you haven't refilled it yet, I'd suggest removing it per the manual, It's a 10mm allen and you'll need a beaker bar or impact, ensure that the allen wrench is fully inserted. If you've filled it, you probably are OK. You may want to consider breaking it loose and retighten without removing...
