Lets avoid any politics but I am genuinely curious if any emissions systems are actually better for the environment. Some seem maybe and some I can't see how.... I am genuinely curious of this. For example my forklift is just an expensive fuel filter and otherwise nothing weird to cause...

We have been fixing up this old white 2-105 tractor and bit by bit we're getting everything buttoned up. New issue though, when you put the 3 point down it just comes back up when you let go of the lever and so does the lever... why is this? Otherwise it's a good tractor, old stuff was so...

Idk what our fascination is with old engines that are full of issues is but I think it must be that they are easy to work on and don't give up easy ...... they just start leaking stuff or getting blowby....ect. So another perkins thing, one of mine has poor crank venting, the blowby isn't...

Again with perkins lol.... few years ago the original starter solenoid burnt out and they put a new one on but the new ones my starter guy have just aren't strong enough. They burn up the contacts in a few starts. So then I'm left using a steel bar to make the contact. I attached a picture...

Both of my old perkins diesels have a little disc on the front of their fuel pumps that serves some unknown purpose.... maybe a buffer? On the one engine it has failed and leakes bad but I can't replace it as I have no idea what it even is or what it does. If no one has a clue what I'm talking...

A thing probably alot of small farmers are familiar with or maybe I'm not privy to something but whenever I use sprays that are granular it's the same process every time..... fill tank, add chemicals.... go walk around for 20 mins while it mixes then come back and go spray. Repeat for all 10...

So..... was doing my my yearly matinance and checking my front end fluids the differential and what I guess would be called final drives is all connected so I usually check the sides and don't check the middle "check" plug. I was so confused at first because I couldn't find a drain plug for the...

Why is there a line going from the fuel filter pair directly to the intake nipple.... was doing a modification and was like..... ok so unless I'm mistaken this is going to just suck a little diesel into the intake at all times. Really primitive lift pump?

Years ago we got a perkins 3544 that we put a pump on, it works good but if you run it too hard the stack can start to glow which I caught before it went too far. Also burns a bit extra fuel... not much just enough to be detected by a tech. So one day I looked up the seriel number...

So every year I have 300 trillion metric tons of used oil that ends up sitting in my barn for years until someone will take it. Then I spend tons and tons on heating oil for greenhouses and such. I know you can buy super expensive waste oil burners but I have also seen videos of people making...

Just a quick question.... in most JD water pumps how much clearance is normal between the impeller and the suction side of the pump case. I was having flow issues but couldn't see issue with the pump so was going to try to take the impeller off. Undid the snap rings and tried to tap the shaft...

I find it very common (atleast around here) for Ptos to get stuck, won't slide then won't latch then won't unlatch... ect. Generally when they get stuck attached I just unhook everything else and slowly drive away, drive shaft comes apart and I got to my shop to get it unhooked from the...

If you are looking for a mystery then this is it, I have been trying to figure out the source of this issue for 2 years now with even JD themselves left baffeled.... I have a JD 7130 that has air behind forced into the cooling system, not exhaust, not fuel mix.....air, First of all there...

I always noticed the way the front diff works on this tractor if you are turning it makes quite an obvious sound. Always has and isn't anything bad I am 99.99% sure it's normal so I'm just curious why the internals sound this way. Basically it sounds almost exactly like the sound of a salamander...

I love my Kubota M5n091 but my do I hate thoes bobcat style quick couplers.... every spring I take the loader off and ever fall I put it back on. Every fall atleast one of the fittings leaks really bad and needs to be replaced.... I get one attach/remove cycle out of thoes expensive couplers...

I have this in off topic as it's not a kubota tractor but this is still interesting.... My one tractor was having issues such as screaming hot transmission and an error light saying charge air temp high... I went through many things of thinking it was the 3rd water pump that cools thoes things...

So on the farm I do lots of welding, more welding, endless other repairs and some hard facing. I usually choose my welding current based on what works and got pretty good at judging it. I got a new rod, stoody 35, hardfacing rock picker teeth. I'm not perfect enough to get it to self peel but I...

So my the fuel line on my perkins t63544 that goes between the filters and the inlet of the injection pump had a leak thar was a crack. Need a new line but.... dosen't seem to exsist, then I lost the fitting on the inlet of the injection pump that goes from the steel line so like a 6-7mm...

So here on the farm until we got our kubota orchard tractor we used John deere hygaurd hydraulic oil in everything, even the hydrostatic kubota mowers do just fine with it as well as new holland tractors. I was told that this newer tractor has to have kubotas hydraulic fluid so that's what I...

So I have only had my orchard tractor for a year... maybe 2 and although theres been alot of little dumb issues like loose fittings and things out of adjustment...couple faulty parts ect... overall it's a very good tractor and is holding up better than my previous orchard tractor but for some...
