That really looks like it’s a dipstick for the hydraulic oil… i have one there, in addition to the fill in the back. Take off the cap, slide a stick down it and check. If it comes out with hydraulic fluid, get a new dipstick! You don’t want “Stuff” falling into it..

I agree…. Those bolts just suck when I’m trying to hand empty the bucket…. (Small hole repair in road). Been thinking of welding it on… but…. It’s not “broke” yet…

My 3902 with forks lifted 900 lbs (2000rpm) without complaining. Shipping guy was surprised… he thought my tractor would be to small. Worked fine! 1.5 sized pallet of plastic turf frames. I was happy! Didn’t have to take the top half off!

Yes, don’t use wd40! Use a penetrating oil, such as kroil (I think). There are a number of threads on here about how wd-40 is actually water displacement, not penetrating.. good luck!

Huh.. maybe I’ll just fire up the ‘ol 3d printer…. Should take long to “design” a plug!

I have camera mag mounted, with enough slack in the cable to be able to move it from the grill to an implement when needed. Works out okay for general use!

Nono…. I had some “friends” offer to knock me off so they could get my toys. My wife just looked at them, and said “why do you think I’d get rid of them?” She can use them, and if nothing else, they could be future husband bait…

I lived in the UK for a couple of years, and worked with a dairy farmer. He drove his tractors on the roads a lot, but i never asked if he needed anything special to do so. Here in Sunny CA, we can drive up to 30 miles on roads provided we have our slow vehicle sign on the back, and flashers...

Hi Mia! Most people don’t go back and read the earlier posts much…. So if you can, instead of editing an old post, please post a new one! (You can always copy the old one, then paste into a new one!) Cheers!

So far, I’ve used this: https://www.amazon.com/Mingo-Firewood-Marker-Measuring-Equipment/dp/B0013LGQ3A It gives indeterminate results…. After a half dozen logs, I have to rotate the can, the nozzle gets pushed out somehow, and it doesn’t spray well. rotating the can makes it work again, go...

First, did you get any manuals for your tractor yet? You should probably get the WSM for it, so you can get the correct parts and diagnose things. New battery cables and new battery is a good start! I would also do a full service, I.e, replace all fluids/filters, and grease everything! found...

Considering where it is, what it has to do, I would bite the bullet and get a new one. Really. unless you just like repairing things, over and over…. As a hobby, it will give you lots of fun! when I look at a hill billy repair, I consider my time, too. Is it worth the effort vs the cost? If...

oh, I like those… took me a minute to figure out what I was seeing, but looks good. You could probably make a simple addition to trailers without by welding on braces below the rails. Might not need them, as most people seem to just put them on the front and buckle them down, but still.. if I...

take it off, take it in. They order the part. You put the hose back on and use your tractor until it comes in…. Just a bit more effort to be perfectly accurate. Or, use the info he gave you from the specs! You also might want to get a WSM for the tractor… cheers!

yeaaahhh…. Good luck with that!
