    Slip clutch

    What implements do you have with it? Slip clutch goes on the implement. I would just run what they came with unless you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket. Or use money you would spend adding a slip clutch add to upgrading the equipment as a whole.

    Kubota M9000 hydraulic fluid contamination.

    Is it barn kept or left in the open? Could be rain water getting into a broken vent tube.

    What is Messick's Smoking

    Unless I missed something your first post had (2) 5 gallons of UDT2 from Messicks. And the only from Coleman’s shows (3) 1 gallon containers of UDT2. That’s quite a difference in weight for the shipping difference.

    MX5100 clutch issue.

    What gear were you in and how fast? Could have over spun the clutch. Also interested in your reasoning for operating like that.

    In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

    Good idea to carry some with you at first until you get some data on its uses. As stated above it’s way more cost effective to buy it at the pump at truck stops. Usage will depend with fuel mileage. Anywhere from 2k-5k miles per DEF tank. As far as the storage temp I believe that’s to help it...

    Dually valve stem extensions

    Ordered some of the stainless braid versions for now. The equalizers will be on the wish list though.

    Dually valve stem extensions

    Those may be the ticket but for $300 this will be put on the back burner. Looks like they mount on one of the wheel studs?

    Dually valve stem extensions

    I upgraded to a dual tandem trailer a few months ago and would like to upgrade the valve stems to use a regular air chuck. I have tried two different “dually” air chucks at first and neither worked for the inside tire due to hitting the rim. I have also tried the hard extensions but they need...

    Drivetrain wear question - Forward vs Reverse w/ Loading

    50T of dirt, as in 50 Tons. 100k pounds? As long as you keep up with maintenance, grease when needed, don’t overheat it and use clean fuel I wouldn’t worry about too much. They will wear out eventually but it’s more of user abuse than hours/work.

    M9540 lever above trans dipstick

    Guessing it’s to swap from 540 to 1000 RPM PTO.

    Barn trophy?

    Biggest scams I see with equipment is a very obvious low price. Like a very new cabbed Grand L with several attachments for $15k. Or the listing pictures do not match the local environment. I’m in the southeast, so if the listing has pictures of snow, mountains or desert etc it’s obviously not...

    Diesel transfer tank

    Keep an eye out for used ones. We bought the 100gal with a new pump for $200. Just the pump is worth over $300. And I paid about half of retail price for the aluminum RDS tank with a GPI pump. Just make sure they are clean inside. Another thought when I was looking for a tank for my diesel...

    Diesel transfer tank

    Which brands are you looking at? As TSC offers different brands. We have two better built brands 100 gal and 36 gal. Both with GPI electric pumps. Both are kept inside when not being used. I also have an aluminum RDS 50 gallon toolbox setup with an electric pump. I’d recommend an aluminum...

    Fuel Filter Mod for $25

    On my ZD’s factory filters the two filters are set up before and after the electric lift pump.

    Fuel Filter Mod for $25

    I installed new filters when I added the filter/water separator ahead of them. That assembly is the only filter on a L3800(and other models) so no particulates should get past it. My transfer tank that I fill my equipment with has a filter. I also treat my fuel with algaecide. So I’m not sure...

    Fuel Filter Mod for $25

    Looks good. All ideas are different. I had a similar filter set up on my ZD. I upgraded to a fuel filter/water separator assembly from a L3800. It was $30 new, installed it as the primary and left the factory filters underneath(after installing new ones). Now I have a clear fuel bowl that I...

    Front Axle oil filling process

    Should have clarified, full to the check plug where it’s supposed to be. Thought that would be a given.
