    Lucas X-TRA HD poly urea grease hard to find.

    Lucas X-TRA HD poly urea grease hard to find. Anyone know if the JohnDeere SD poly is compatible to use behind the Lucas? For use mostly in my 15' rotary cutter(we call'em shredders) around here, but if you "google it" you'll get shredders for documents etc. :) I've been using the Lucas green...

    Rear mesh guard

    Hoping to find some ideas on fabricating an expanded metal(or something similar) guard to shield the rear fenders, tail lights, window, and work lights. It'll have to be 5' wide at the tail light/fender level, and 4' high to shield the big rear window on a M7060hdc. I'm shredding huisatche and...

    Accessing the 7060 oil filler

    Just did the 50 hr oil change and was happy with the fact that the oil could be drained from the crankcase, AND the filter without making a mess. THEN I started trying to figure out how to get oil INTO the crankcase without a mess. I finally rigged up a funnel with about a 3' section of old...

    Tachometer seems to run too fast

    My newest tractor was a 1985 model, before I bought the Kubota. The tach was mechanical and as I understand was calibrated to indicate run time at operating rpm, 2150 or so. The tach on my Kubota seems to indicate minute for minute (like a clock) any time the engine is running,,,even at idle...

    CD Player in 8540

    I recently bought a 2012 M8540HDC, and in the process of learning about it. I have found most of the info I need in the downloaded Operators Manual, but cannot find anything about the cd player. There is a Panasonic remote laying in the cup holder which may or may not work. The cd is strange...

    EGR or not?

    I am new owner of a used 2012 M8540 HDC-1. The tubing connecting the EGR valve is severed. I have read several articles/posts about the "pros and cons" of the egr system. Some say it's better for the engine, some say not. Then there is the environmental issue. My main concern is for the health...

    DEF consumption m8560

    I am considering a 2015 M8560 purchase. I'm curious how much DEF it will use under a moderate load such as a 15 ft shredder mowing regrowth mesquite and huisatche, and I do have some decent grass to mow also :) I am thinking about a 7060 instead, just to avoid the DEF. I know, the 7060 may be at...
