    Hydro cylinder

    Bolens 5020H. Have trouble with the hydro cylinder lifting the rear implements. The cylinder cycles completely, with no load, but hesitates under load or doesn't lift at all. Pressure shows in the required range. I re-ringed the piston and clean honed the cylinder. I did not change the hydro...

    A lot of times, various vendors are posted on here. Needed new blades for the old 84" finish mower. Dealer wanted $55/blade x3 = $$$. Did about an hour of online shopping, and found a vendor I'd never seen. Called, got a live, well informed person. Gave me a 10% discount, and ended up...

    Orange dually

    Saw my first big kubota in the field, flashing duals, and turning some dirt. The guy was pulling at least a 25' disc towing a cultipacker, prepping lightly for bean planting. Had to stop and watch, but he was too far back to get a good pic with the cell. Looked like a newer series, and was...

    Bucket position

    For those w/FEL, when parking, who places bucket flat on bottom vs. tilted forward with bucket front edge contacting ground. I see this trend varies place to place. What do you do?

    Tire size

    So, I've got my old 86 gmc truck sitting in the barn, just itchin for warm weather to break. Needs some new rubber, just feel uneasy at 70 with 14 yr old tires. Anyway, thinking about 275/60/15 on a gm 15x8, factory stance. Worried about bulge look. Anybody ever ran this setup?

    B7100 injector pump

    Got some leakage from the top of the pump. Fittings are tight, figure it's the orings, seals, etc. Other than a little hesitation at start, since we've been leaking, everything is fine. Should I shut off fuel, and let run dry, or dissemble wet?

    Too much for the B?

    Just picked up an old JD 246 planter. My b7100 will pick it up, but with the QH, and 5ft length of the planter, I'm worried about the strain on the 3pt equip long term. Anyone else run this planter on a similar unit. I'm all ears on opinions.

    Corn grinder

    Got an old hand crank corn grinder I'm debating on powering. Have a 1/3hp, 1725/1140 rpm elec. motor sitting around. Think this would be enough juice and speed(pulley setup) to run this, or step up into 1hp.

    B7100 rear hub

    B7100d, right rear wheel hub is wore out. I plan on having this unit for some time, until it dies. Should I pony up the money for the eBay hub, or run an oversize pin in the hole to take up the slack. Other than cringing wheel wobble😬, everything else is ok.
