    Front axle Lub

    Is it full? It would take a long time to completely drain it. On vehicles I have left a rear end cover off overnight and you can wipe more out of the rear end. What is a L3301 fwd?

    is the overflow hose hooked up? Does it have a hole in it. It is easier to replace the radiator cap than it is to test it.

    I would use a time-sert, yes more money, but a much stronger repair. I have used them in aluminum engine blocks for the heads bolts that strip out in the Northstar engines.

    ID aftermarket D1105 head?

    I would verify the radiator is not plugged and take the head to a machine shop to verify it is not cracked and straight. No need to replace the head if it passes. Also take a straight edge and check the block while the head is off. Aftermarket suppliers can be good just depends on the source.

    Low oil pressure shutdown?

    They provide an owners manual and expect the customer to read it and understand it. In the future if oil light is on to turn the engine off immediately. Do you have KTAC insurance on it? Do you have any insurance on it? I know I replaced an engine for an insurance company that the owner tried to...

    2005 Kubota BX 23 Mid PTO shaft problem

    You have never worked at flat rate if you think it includes coffee breaks. Heck in the automotive world every quarter the labor flat time changes, and it usually goes down.

    RV Anti-Freeze as Windshield Washer Fluid?

    I have seen idiots use salt water instead of windshield washer fluid. It RUSTED the pump out, as in the pump was blotted and had rust streaks down the pump and tank. Also seen DEF put into the washer system, at least that made cool looking spider webs on the hood, roof, windshield, and fenders.
