All good comments, thanks!!! Now I'm rethinking "My Great Idea".

The pump (12v, 1/4HP, 15gpm) I purchased claims that it can be used for both gas and diesel. But, I do understand that gas can adversely effect pump seals.

I'm building a "proper" transfer pump that will be used for diesel and gas. After filling my yard implements with gas, and then filling my tractor with diesel, am I likely to get too much residual gas in the diesel when I change to that fuel - or vice versa? I'm planning on holding the...

A tip of the hat to you Sir for having the wisdom to run a small business in a way that fits your priorities. Too often I've seen folks get totally overrun with work and it consumes their life and erodes or destroys their relationships.

I've studied Fit Right's website and it appears that Brian, the owner, literally fabricates the entire cylinder, piston and attachments himself. And, he's a one man shop. If that's the case, I can see why he has a long waiting list.

First, thanks for all the great feedback, very helpful. It looks like Fit Right is the go-to place, though I'm surprised that they seem to be the only (best) choice out there. Surplus Center and other general hydraulic suppliers don't seem to have the right kind of end connections that would...

I've searched far and wide for a 3 Pt Hitch Side Arm hydraulic cylinder that will fit on my Kubota L6060. When searching this site I found a number of recommendations for hydraulic cylinders from a company called CCM (dated over a decade ago). As far as I can tell they are out of business...

Of all the things I love about my L6060 HST, there is one thing that seems to be poorly constructed, and that's the 3 point hitch position control. This knob and piece of aluminum (circled in photo) is supposed to adjust to stop the position control level from going too low. But, the cheesy...

Thanks guys! I'm still getting used to how this machine runs. It's reassuring to know that this is a normal process.

For several weeks I used my tractor (L6060 HST) lightly and intermittently. As expected, during that time, the PM reading gradually increased, eventually reaching about 94%. I then mowed about 15 acres of pasture and expected the PM amount to rise to 100% and then go into regen. But, it...

So far I don't see any noticable deflection. The extension is 2" tube, .125" wall. I opted for a slightly less thick wall than standard hitch tube.

Commercial bucket hitchs have a design flaw. The piece that mounts on a bucket positions the extension arm and ball parallel to the bottom of the bucket. So, when the hitch arm is horizontal, it is impossible to see the ball from the operators seat due to the top of the bucket blocking view...

Thank you! Duh! How'd I miss that? I does indeed look way too tedious for just changing the clock setting.
