Fantastic idea. If one is unfamiliar with hydraulics or has limited knowledge, an illustration can make a world of difference. Even for those that are familiar with hydraulics, the diagram will make a good way to double check how things work.

Life is always better when your balls are in position.

I made a jig that bolts to the tilt table on my Bridgeport milling machine. A 2 inch shell mill with carbide inserts makes short work of sharpening. A light dressing with a file breaks the burr on the cutting edge. A 40 degree angle gives me the best life for where I cut. The blades are...

When I bought my L47 from Messicks in PA there was no document fee.

No matter who the manufacturer, I trust no bearing made in China.

I agree with you 100%, in theory. The bearing made in China, England, Italy, anywhere in the word are supposed to meet the design specs of the number engraved or stamped on the side of the bearing. But that leaves two questions. How close to design spec are the bearings, and how long will...

Bless your heart.

$5 bearings are cheaper for the same reason why oats are cheaper once they have been eaten by a horse.

I believe that there is a special place in hell for thieves, even unsuccessful thieves.

You can't please everyone, so you have to please yourself.

I use Amsoil in my vehicles and have no problem with it. However, if you compare the specs for Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 to a comparable Amsoil product, the Rotella specs are head and shoulders above what Amsoil offers. I use the Rotella T6 in my Kubota L47, my Husqvarna ZTH-6125 and all 4 stroke...

I've cleaned many radiators using hot water mixed with a generous amount of Wisk (now Percil). It cuts grease and debris on the outside of the radiator and safely cleans the inside of the radiator. Flush until the water stops looking like soap suds.

I inherited a telephone pole jack when my grandfather died. He worked for Public Service Electric and Gas when they still used horses to pull the majority of the loads. The pole jack is about 3 feet high, made of steel and weighs a bit over 125 pounds. Like the bumper jack of the sixties...

They probably didn't want to life it high enough to get it into the box.

When you hook up the three legs to the motor, read across one leg at a time to ground and write the voltage reading down. All three will be different voltages. You could put tags on each motor wire, 1, 2, 3. Write the voltage of each number to ground, then connect them 2, 1, 3, and record the...
