The stop solenoid you have stops the fuel supply when the voltage is off. It has two coils, one with very low resistance of 0.375 Ω for pulling in the plunger and a second one with 15.6 Ω to hold the plunger while running. The low resistance coil is disconnected by an internal contact when...

Unreal! And the size of this rock! How long did it take you to dig it out, split it into pieces and move it with the tractor?

I know. But it is also the biggest problem. This is madness: List of Linux distributions The wheel reinvented hundreds of times. As I said: if there would be only one distribution there would be no microsoft any more. And possibly no apple either.

In my opinion the main problem with Linux is that it is open source. So everybody takes a copy and modifies it to suit their requirements. If there would be only one Linux distribution, microsoft would be long gone. I suspect that they actually support all those splinter Linux systems actively...

Yes, tyres get flat spots when they sit for ages. My experience is that it gets better over time, but never really 100%. Maximum pressure helps when storing for a long time. Or move the vehicle a few feet every few weeks.

100% correct. And he was extremely lucky that IBM chose the DOS operating system for their, as they believed, short lived personal computers. An operating system that he actually copied pretty much 1:1 from Digital Researchs CP/M operating system. He only added a (poor) disk interface and...

There should not be any problem or damage to the electrics no matter what you do with the seat. But I think it is a sign that it is seat switch related. A friend of mine had a very similar problem on his tractor recently. The seat switch gets 12V and when the wire is chafed or squeezed against...

The picture is good enough, I think. You can measure diameter, total spring length by taking the tractor as reference. Measure coil length, count the turns and you have the wire diameter too. You'd be surprised how precise measurements can be taken from a picture.

The solution to this has been presented already:

Performance. A few years ago the windoze version I had got a bit too old, so I was looking at Linux again. I was writing an IC simulator at the time. After I switched to Linux the simulator ran three times as fast compared to windoze. Same source code, same compiler, very little screen I/O...

I install those connectors in all my vehicles: They are referred to as "12V DIN" or "12V Hella" or "12V BMW motorcycle" connector. They give better contact than cigarette lighter connectors.

Brilliant picture ! Reminds me of some creature from a horror movie, with glowing eyes and huge claws :giggle: That you can move this size rocks with your tractor is most impressive (y)

This came from the marketing department. Engineering would have said "energy gain x at y F/°C" 🤣

No, we are fine here. Only Cork city gets flooded when there is heavy rain and strong south easterly winds are pushing the tide up the harbour. The Irish for Cork is Corcaigh, which means marsh. Not an ideal place to build a city, I think :giggle: See also: Wikipedia Cork City Last time it...

No, sorry, did not see that. You are right, not worth it.

He has them apart now. Is it not possible to find new piston seals?

"Pour a cold one" is the right thing to do. Those things just happen, does not matter how careful you are (will not post a picture of my milling vice here, too embarassing :giggle: ) And be honest, the damage could have been worse and the important bit is that you did not get hurt. Chucks and...

Made a pipe for my diy diverter valve. The original, very neat Kubota solution would have more than tripled the price of the tractor, so I went for a cheapskate solution for 16 quid. Very little space with the HST pipes and the fuel tank around that area, so I needed a 60mm length hydraulic pipe...

There is a reason the fuse blew. You have to find the problem first before you replace it, otherwise it will simply blow again. From what you describe there may be a short to the chassis of the cable of the seat switch or a short of the seat switch itself. See if you can find the cable to the...

You can test the glow plugs individually: Glow plug testing D722 Different engine, but the method should be the same. And yes, I think you are on the right track suspecting the glow plugs or glow plug control electronics from the symptoms you are describing. Do you have a work shop manual? If...
