ALSO, if you end up having to go to the dealer the engine ECU and related wiring SHOULD be covered under the 5 year emissions warranty.

Edit 2: THE ECU for an ROPS model is under the dash. For a cab model it is under the seat. Hope that helps.

I found a reference saying that is a communication error to the engine. Is it still starting and running okay? It might clear itself but if it doesn't I would look for any loose or dirty connections. Might try unplugging and plugging the ECU back in? I think it's under the seat but I haven't...

I have cleaned out a ditch with my loader bucket. It's a slow process by digging one bucket width at a time. Position the tractor 90 degrees from the ditch and scoop out a bucket. Move the tractor over and do it again.

In general I'm not a fan of things that hang off the side and apply side forces to my 3pt hitch or my loader. If you can straddle the area where you want the ditch a middle buster might work good. Then come back with a grader or box blade to shape it into a crown. Alternately you can just put...

@Hugo Habicht The forks also have a bottom hook. You have to set them on in the center and slide them outward. I suspect I am going to weld a piece on between the 2 inch receiver and the hay spear receivers to make that area a little stronger. @L35 I had made a homemade set of forks from...

Picked up a pair of 42" pallet forks off Market Place the other day and was going to build a frame for them. While searching for a weld on carriage bar I came across the cheap china offerings. Some were labeled Vevor and all were identical looking. Searching eBay in my usual fashion I set my...

I haven't had it happen with Amazon but I had Walmart send me a air fryer instead of something cheap I ordered. I tried to return it in person and it wouldn't scan to return it so I gave it away. I ordered some solar panels from Amazon that were sold as a two pack. I ordered two packs of two...

The last pail of Super UDT2 was much higher than that last time I bought it but the claims that Triax reduced the Hydro whine over Super UDT2 was intriguing.

My introduction to hydraulic repairs was 9 or 10 years ago when I bought a backhoe that was "READY TO WORK". It showed up with one stabilizer squirting fluid 20 feet out when it was moved. I had done a little research and had read the New Holland recommended fluid was their 134D spec at the...

Interesting info on some 303 oils. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17hE1KaT2n/

The last clearance oil deal I tried to get in on through Carquest wasted a bunch of my time. The order went through and I got an email the next morning saying it was ready to pick up but the guy that triggered the ready response hadn't even checked stock on it. I drove all the way to town and...

I was spreading some more rye seed with my pull behind spreader yesterday and got the idea to add a way to see the bottom of the hopper. I just drilled a hole in the top and put a add on side mirror in it. I can see all the way down to the spinner from inside the cab with it.

My dealers are 45 minutes away in either direction. Same group owns both. They have ceased stocking even common filters but say they can have them in a day or two. Forget just dropping in to buy any parts.

Sounds like the new bolts are incorrect thread or you cross threaded them.
