Driving in to work this morning in the dark on a divided highway I noticed yellow flashing lights every once in a while up in the distance. Traffic kept flowing so didn't think too much about it, I figured what ever it was took an exit. Then I noticed a pickup going backwards down the road with...
I bought a new grease gun and transferred the grease from the squeeze tube to the gun. That worked so much better than trying to fill through the vent hole. This was the first time I had used 00 grease. By the way some people talk about it I thought the viscosity would be much lower.
Yes there is an actual grease fitting and the owners manual says to use it to fill the gear box. It seemed very odd to me. I was wondering if there is a way to fill 00 grease through a fitting that I didn't know about. My plan is to fill through the vent hole.
I have a troy bilt snow blower that calls for Shell Alvania grease. The part number looks to be 00 grade grease. The funny thing is they tell you in the manual to fill the gear case through the grease nipple. Thank goodness there is a plastic vent plug on top of the gear case. Is there really a...
To help keep this thread on topic take a look at The Grand Tour S5E1. It is on Amazon Prime. Not sure how much of it is staged and how much is real but they do show how to improperly tow sheds on skids behind rally cars on icy roads.
I have a 16' flatbed that I tried one of those unloaders. I put sheets of hardboard between the vinyl sheet and the wooden deck to try to lessen the friction. To make a long story short a shovel works better. Maybe on a smaller trailer with less material weight they may work better.
Thanks for the information. Sounds like maybe I got incorrect information and it does need a 1/2" belt. The belt is a real pain to change since it is tucked up underneath the mower.
I have a Ferris ProCut 32 that has hydrostatic drive. There is a belt that comes off a pulley on the engine shaft, around the pulley on the hydraulic pump and it tensioned with a spring tensioned idler pulley. My research found the belt is 5/8" x 40". It took awhile but I found one. The reason...
That is a good idea but the ProCut is a 3-wheel model with he deck out front. The drive wheels are in the middle between the deck and the single rear steer wheel. If I had room in the barn to pull it in I might try it. Unfortunately I don't have enough room so I would have to push it on the...
Is there any trick in turing the shaft that is supposed to switch between freewheeling and drive on a hydrostatic drive? I have a Ferris ProCut 32 and the hydraulic pump belt gave out just after my wife drove the mower out of the barn. I would like to get the mower back in the barn but I need...
I was coming home form work the other day down a highway. Up ahead looked like a truck pulling something that looked to be the size of an outhouse on a trailer. As I got closer I couldn't see any tie downs. I thought it best I was in front of him instead of behind. Sure enough he was doing about...
Not necessarily wrong but someone was having a bad day. Here is western NY we have this thing called the Barge Canal, the final iteration of the Erie canal. There are a number of one lane bridges that cross the canal. The approach to these bridges are usually steep enough you can't see who is on...
Those are the tables I looked through but nothing matched the battery I had. There were no marking on the battery to indicate size. I found one number that might have been the CA but that was only a guess. If it was then the original was 480CA and the new is 550CA. The original lasted 7 years...
