Sorry to resurrect this one, but I have acquired an identical ripper, all I have is the shanks and the tool bar that they go into - no pins or keepers. I cannot for the life of me understand how those keepers actually retain the shank though? In the third picture is the f pin driven in and...

This problem has already been resolved! I am posting this in the hopes that someone Google's their issue and finds this post! When I try to start my tractor I get a whirring noise, I assumed an issue with the starter, but I noticed the fan belt was engaged which doesn't fit with a starter...

Was mid way though lifting some sand when the bucket stopped lifting (was maybe an inch off the ground) Couldn't lift 3ph or tilt bucket I can drop 3ph and bucket though Is my pump fubar? Any diagnostics I can go through? Is it worth dropping the oil to check the screen, or is that unlikely...

Thanks for the quick reply, will regular car oil work? This is the particular one http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Valvoline-Super-Diesel-Engine-Oil-15W-40-10-Litre/17071?menuFrom=1021653

Hello from Australia - I'm wanting to do a minor service to my tractor before putting it into any hard use Google has suggested that I should use 10w-30 diesel oil but I can't find that viscosity in any of my local shops (I can find 5w-30 and 15w-40), which do you think I should use? On that...
