After much frustration with traditional pour jugs, I switched to a 2.5 gallon Tuf Jug with the ripper cap. Quick and painless, and no spillage even if the fuel tank is partially full. Best jug I've ever bought for refueling my 7100...

Also, make sure the speed set knob (cruise control) is all the way down. Even slightly up can cause creep. .

I wanted a wide belt, so I bought this 3" wide industrial belt from Wesco Performance several years ago, and highly recommend it. At the time, this belt was offered at 74" long for an extra charge. I'm a tall, big guy, and normally have the seat pushed back all the way on my 7100, and it fits...

Maybe this has already been tried, but I'll mention it anyway. Is there any room to tap a thin screw driver between the plug and the pan so as to provide pressure that may allow the threads to catch, while attempting to unscrew the plug? .

Why not just tap it for a slightly larger plug? .

cjltlc, that's a very nice upgrade. But I have to ask, is that a 6' box, and your 7100 pulls it OK? .

Full synthetic Amsoil 15-40 heavy-duty diesel and marine oil for my B7100 .

Thanks very much, that was a quick reply. OK, that's very good to know, and glad I overlooked it, otherwise I probably would have removed it. All this time I was looking in the maintenance section. Now that I know it's for adjusting the 3 pt lowering speed, it's on page 30 in the adjustment...

I changed all my fluids a couple weeks ago, and didn't notice that there is what looks like a fill (yellow) port for hydraulic oil on the 3 point hydraulic control block located under the seat of my B7100HST, and I find absolutely nothing in my owners manual about this. I don't see a color...

That's seems reasonable. Thanks Wolfman .

Can anyone tell me what the torque specs should be for the Left and right hydraulic oil strainers? I've checked the repair manual, and searched the forum but can't find anything. Today I had to really struggle with a long breaker bar to get the left strainer loose. The right side was easy to...

Super Tech and it's UDT compatible, and the least expensive that I've found. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-Tractor-Hydraulic-Oil-2gal/16879814 .

Just my thoughts here. When we bought our property 30 years ago, the first thing I had to do was put in a 10' x 20' bridge, elevated 8' over a 10' wide creek. Plenty long right? The bridge is built solid, but that nice little creek has on occasion, during winter, turned into a raging torrent...

I doubt MoPar alone caused the sludge. OAT based formulas should not be mixed with IAT formulas. "The result is typically turning your coolant into sludge due to a chemical reaction." http://www.cgj.com/2013/05/20/what-are-the-different-types-of-antifreeze-and-can-i-mix-them/ .

Thanks guys. Are the factory radiator fins made of aluminum or copper? The reason I ask is, because I've been researching the subject and have come across some that recommend alkali based foaming cleaners such as Nu-Bright coil and condenser cleaner, apply for 10 minutes to be followed by...
