As mentioned, a Heli coil would be best for someone who is experienced with installing them, and at the risk of having to break out my pecker to measure it, I'd suggest an over size self taping drain plug for someone who doesn't have experience installing Heli coils.

He's gone Rogue and is opening his own implement business...........

Glad to see this thread getting back on track.

Often times when you go too far out on a limb to expand the limb winds up breaking. I feel for all those who are going to be on the losing end having put down their hard earned funds for equipment that will never be delivered and the employees who lost their jobs. It sounds like Ted covered...

I haven't read all the posts but just in case this hasn't been shared it's from 3 days ago. https://hickoryrecord.com/news/local/business/everything-attachments-conover/article_c656dd04-c460-11ee-b468-33e5a8de23bc.html

It could also be the ring groove on the piston not being machined correctly.

I don't have a better explanation but I basically got the same story from my salesman at the dealer shortly after I purchased my tractor.

I ordered the 24" x 36" perforated sheeting from onlinemetals.com https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/carbon-steel/0-06-thick-x-0-5-hole-x-0-6875-stagger-carbon-steel-perforated-sheet-a36-round-hole/pid/13510 I clamped it down, bent it by hand, and tacked it in place.

Thanks! A lot of thought and effort went into making it but it turned out well. No damage to my grill after a year extensive grapple work. Some more in the fabrication process:

The first thing I did when I got my L2501 was fab a grill guard. A quick wash before painting........... And Bob's yer uncle...........

I have the EA 55 and couldn't be happier. I use it for firewood processing, brush removal, and downed tree clean up.

With trees, you just have to be careful where you park............

I'd skip the aftermarket glow plugs. I also have a JD 855 tractor. I tried to cut corners on the glow plugs by buying NGK glow plugs from Napa. I had cold start issues from day one. I decided to order some JD glow plugs and that solved the issue. With the NGK's I had to keep the glow plugs on...

Nice used Gators are out there. A few years ago I picked up an older model 6x4 in excellent garage kept condition with an upgraded 25 hp Honda V-twin engine for $2200.00

I've gotten conflicting reports when I inquire about the #2HHO in my area. My supplier claims it's not Ultra low sulfur. Others have told me #2 off road diesel + #2 HHO is all the same and is Ultra low sulfur. Obviously, someone is mistaken. I would be adding additives to either year round.

I would have to assume from the statements above, that even the old HHO #2 with higher sulfur content, "Wouldn't" harm any newer 25 + under HP engines that don't have the DPF emissions. Is that correct?

I guess we can agree to disagree. I'm not the only one who thinks excessively high oil pressure can wash out babbit bearings. Hear are some opinions from others: Too much ( high) pressure ruins as many engines as low oil pressure. Not just washing the bearings but also hard on the filter etc...

The Silliness is on you. I'm not comparing bearing types.

"GeoHorn: How So?" Overly high oil pressure can erode a rod or main bearing, from the lube hole area, where the oil enters the bearing, similar to the same way high water erodes away a stream bank. This doesn't apply to needle or ball type bearings.
