    Replacing hydraulic toplink cylinder

    Bought a hydraulic toplink from the Surplus Center and first day out I bent the ram (my fault). Contacted them about a replacement ram or cylinder w/o the check valve and they told me basically to go pound salt. I even asked if they could give me the manufactures name so I could try and get just...

    Never look a gft horse in the mouth...

    Buddy of mine got a pair of snow plow lights from a neighbor and he passed them on to me. Used to make a combo rear work light, directional and hazard flasher set up on my RTV. Little over kill, but the price was right. Heavy mounts will latter be used as base for tool carrier.

    I have a ground driven Agrifab spreader I'd like to convert to electric drive for an ATV. I can figure out how to do it I'm just unfamilar with what 12v motor to get. Not sure of RPM, HP or source. Don't want to spend a fortune doing it either. Any ideas?

    My snap couplings have a fair amount of dirt and oil around the outer sleeves and bearing. Was thinking of spraying w/ brake or carb cleaner. Any damage risk or am I going overboard?

    Germination Rate

    Anyone know how long seed corn stays viable or what the annual germination loss is? I have a 15 year old bag of seed corn that's been stored in my basement (cool and very dry). Also have a bag of sorgum of the same vintage.

    Service/Shop manuals on EBAY

    Anybody have any experience in buying one of the 'copy' service manuals (the full ones) on Ebay? I'm thinking of getting one for my Ford 2120. I probably should check for serial numbers covered as well shouldn't I?

    I'm thinking of getting a set of Ag tires and wheels for my B3030. Anyone know if the wheels are proprietary to Kubota or are there other makes that will fit?
