    What Size Bolt/Nut Is It? This Should Help.

    I have a set of Tap and Dies. If I don't know the pitch I grab the tap or die and measure it. Bonus is I don't need another tool or a bunch of bolts hanging around.

    I went to the NGK web site to look for them or there replacement. They didn't list any, so I went to contact us for product support, and asked what the replacement number was. I doubt they will respond, but I hope they do because these have been discontinued. I will give it to the end of the...

    2018 XG850 what spark plugs

    Thanks for the Kubota number. $20 bucks for one spark plug seems way too steep. I guess they have a really high markup on these.

    BX23S front axle oil question

    Bar oil for chain saws. I use old engine oil a lot for bar oil, why wouldn't new (old) oil not work for the same thing? That is how I would get rid of it at least. Maybe put it on Facebook Marketplace for free must pick up. The other thing I used to do with old engine oil was, I had a coffee...

    Toothbar questions

    I use my Dewalt impact wrench on the bolt side, and hold the head side with a regular wrench. Pull the trigger and it gets tight. I take mine on and off depending on what material I am moving. Also if I need a smoother back blade job. I have never had the nuts back off or get lose.

    No pallet forks no problem

    I am almost done with all my projects around my property that is why the chipper went away. I used it for 3 years and don't see a need for it anymore. Depending on how much longer my project goes on, I may just sell the tractor also. If I keep it for some reason I might get a set of forks...

    No pallet forks no problem

    I sold my wood chipper, and had to figure out how to move it without taken off the back hoe, and no pallet forks. I think worked out nicely.
