If you're going with wood post I'd find hedge (osage orange). I've seen them up to 18-20" dia. used for gates and where fence makes a turn without a corner post. Out last steel, yet it's wood!! If your really ant to secure a post for a gate, once the post is in the hole dig a trench (that...

Very difficult to answer your question with out a link to what you purchased.

Do you have air in the fuel system somehow? If you insist on using starting fluid never spray it until the engine is turning over, and spray it at the air intake. This, at least, gets the explosion to all the cylinders not just one overloaded. Best not to use it at all.

I read an article a few years back stating in Russia car owners remove the wiper blades and install them when they need them. Too expensive to leave them exposed and deteriorate.

I just looked the price up on Coleman's web sit to be sure. https://www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/Kubota-Super-UDT2-Synthetic-Universal-Trans-Hydraulic-Fluid-5-Gallon/70000-40205/

Those are the kind of experiences everyone needs. That is the only way to eventually have common sense. Do something and then evaluate it! I had a boss years ago who would say, "Do something even if it's wrong!"

I didn't notice if you reinforced those welds on the plate by the rollers? They originally looked like a design for light weight objects. When I saw your title it reminded me of what the doctor said as she was reviewing aches and pains, "You are accumulating years!".

At $130 for 5 gallons why not use Kubota UDT2 at $141? Oh i see, you're saving money. I'll pay $11 for peace of mind.

You better be cautious since you live under a rock!! ;)

I always saw the 303 in yellow 5 gal. buckets. On the buckets was a list of tractors/machinery it was approved for. Listed as "Meets specs for JD, Case, Cat and on and on. Listing at least a dozen companies. I'd think if enough folks bought the oil and had mechanical failures with equipment...

Funny you mention that safety switch. One time I went to start my tractor and it didn't do anything. set there in wonderment, then tried to start again. Same result. Tractor had not been use for a bit so I put a charger on the battery while i did another chore. Next time I came back it...

Do you have any rebuilder of turbos down your way? What's your zip, or what city you near? There is a shop in Iola, Ks. that rebuilds turbos. They are good, reasonable priced and been in business for quite a few years. Also have a shop in St. Joe, Mo...
