    i notice that on an L33 i have too. very little grease and I use a manual grease gun so after a small squirt the pressure on the gun goes way up telling me it is full with little room to get out?? one reason why the 10,000 psi battery powered grease guns scare me a bit.

    At what temperature do you plug in your block heater?

    When it gets about 32f / 0c my diesel tractors will get plugged in. 30 min. At those temps and as much as 3 or 4 hours when closer to -30's. All stored in an unheated and enclosed shed out of the wind. If it was wind and expossed it would get way more. Costs next to nothing so my thought why...

    B2620 thumb operation

    FWIW... when I hear the solution to a problem maybe requires "sledgehammering" or "pound" and wrapping a chain and using the hydraulics to move I fear it will make the problem worse not better. beware mushrooming out the ends of the pins with the sledge as this often makes the pin useless at...
