    "L" series bevel gear housing pivot oil seal....

    I think it is important to get a little more info on who made the comment. you mentioned it was the "dealer". Do you mean the owner of the company? could this person have been a certified mechanic or simply a minimum wage place holder behind a parts counter? was this person considered...

    L3902 vs L3560 Implements

    like above I guess it depends on a lot of factors. according to the marketing material the 3560 is going to come up a little short. in real life?? depends but probably/maybe would be my answer. asking questions like this here is going to get you a wide spectrum of answers from no problems /...

    Where to keep a walking cane on a tractor?

    I slide a piece of foam pipe wrap around mine to stop the rattle and just drop the cane between the seat and the fender /side window. After work I just pop the foam off but I am not getting on/off at a high frequency.

    B6100D 4x4 - 4' Rotor Tiller?

    nice to see a 50+ yo tractor that probably cost U$2,500 brand new still looking and working as planned by the engineers!! I have some 10yo stuff with so much electronics and wiring and pollution stuff, etc... I am selling it off as repairs can quickly run more than a used unit worth. IMHO we...

    KX -040 System Err 5

    I believe a 5 is a a water temp sensor style error but I be no mechanic I am a user a 5 will probably limit both hp and rpm. So time to trouble shoot possible wire damage and/or sensor damage. Do you have mice / squirrels in your part of the world. Check for wire damage?

    Volume

    much more info needed. Are you a business and have a business number. A BN helps as CBSA is easy to deal with if you are a business. also the tractor if its not on the ECL than it shouldn't be a problem. If on the controlled list you will need of Gov't export permit. Chances are it will not be...

    B6100D 4x4 - 4' Rotor Tiller?

    if you wanted a foolproof solution you could go with a tow behind roto tiller. They come with their own usually gas mounted engines. 36" usually about 6-7hp and a 48" usually comes with a 12hp honda or B&S style gas motor. they work great. Maybe a few bucks more than pto driven but a sure fire...

    Oil flush?

    I have never flushed a diesel engine. That said though I do use good quality diesel rated oils and change it no less than every 2 years on litle used diesels or 200 hrs whatever comes first. Has your tractor been neglected or improper fluids used? If not it shouldn't need a flush IMHO.

    L3901 Tractor runs 5 minutes then stalls

    That sucks and sorry to hear your troubles. They remove the sulfer [natural perservative] then add soy [a food source] and we have this type of mess frequently. Around our coffee table of old farmers, fuel issues is now our #1 maintaince issue on our yards. Clean the tank, replace filter...

    Diesel transfer tank

    looks fantastic and your idea of fuel tank off a semi has me thinking as I have a highway tractor wrecking yard very close by. one comment though.... I was told once PVC for pure diesel is no problems. But for biodiesel blends due to the solvent used in the bio diesel it softens some types of...

    Correct lengths for PTO shafts

    If you like the advice Messicks gives out they recommend min. 6" of overlap when fully extended to handle the torques and 2" buffer from bottoming out when compressed to avoid damage. I wouldn't argue those rec's on this end.

    Good running to bad in an instant

    My initial guess is crappy fuel. Would be my first and easy to check and clean. Alge grows in the fuel between the layer of water / fuel and when alge colony gets large enough it falls out of suspension and can start clogging stuff down stream from the tank. I would start with a clean from...

    Yet another Back Hoe Re-Install Question and Comment

    You are probably right. I am lucky enough that my equipment pOle shed is the size of a large aircraft hanger. Downside is level concrete floors is a Cadillac luxury i could never justify. Uneven gravel base is all i get to work with.

    Yet another Back Hoe Re-Install Question and Comment

    You have a top shelf product that is very well engineered. If you need to use a sledge hammer you defintly have something wrong going on. My story with my BH77 is it's very well used and well maintained. Probably 500 hrs of use. I back up to it, attach 2 quick connects, elevate with out...

    Plastic rivet pins for BX2380

    I don't know but if you pull one and take it to your local NAPA or whatever nearest autoparts depot has they will match it to their stock (either loose ones or bagged ones) and tell you the exact size / description.

    B7300 oil leak after getting it angled with one rear wheel in the air

    like tires, brakes, belts, batteries, etc... hoses are simple and fairly cheap maintenance items. on a commercial farm on the bigger equipment I suspect we replace hoses every 5 years or so. on the garden sized equipment we have stuff that's decades old around the farm but lower use and non...

    B7300 oil leak after getting it angled with one rear wheel in the air

    doesn't sound like much of a problem so sure you will be able to handle easily. On my end I would simply disconnect both hoses and take to my local hydraulic shop. They sell premade hoses for about $20 for a 40" hose with fixed ends or if something special / unique ends maybe swivle etc... they...

    HELP: L48 Backhoe with Ag R1 Tires? Sizing?

    I would ask the question whether an Ag tire will hold up to the extra weight/load/stresses that a backhoe operation generates? Isn't that why backhoe tractors come with industrial tires (depends on brand n size 10 to 20 ply?) and field tractors come with Ag tires (depends on brand n size 2 to...
