You mentioned the pump guy used the wrong bolt. What bolt are you referring to? Wouldn't the PTO shaft be attached to the tractor and locked on with the setup there? The other end was bolted to the pump? I'm unclear how the pump was attached to the tractor by this "too small" of a bolt.

The position you had to be in to weld on that jug would be pretty tough. No place to help steady your arm.

Do you have any pressure with the bucket on the cylinder end you are trying to grease? Move the joystick in all directions to make sure the bucket is setting on the ground without any pressure on that joint, the try greasing again. How long has it been since last greased? Removing the pin...

Do you guys have anything called a pond?

I agree! Signing up for Lifetime Member is a no brainer if you own a Kubota tractor and use the internet. (which is how you got here) I join the Antique Caterpillar Club, and I think it's $40 and have to renew. It's common sense, if you use a service help with the expenses, and eventually...

More is better!!
