Diesel fuel is a great repellent, keeps the gnats away and it smells good on me. I have used that for years, all the commercial products are crap by comparison, go to the fuel barrel put a little off highway diesel fuel in my had and splash it on. It might make it hard to pick up chics, but my...

Weight is great. I like my tractors heavy and my chics light.

I store mine inside, when needed I connect to the generator that remains in the building. I kinda like this set up.

Thanks, it turned out nice, disassembled, sandblasted, painted, assembled and then new decals. The moldboards, shins and shares are painted because I won't be in the dirt again. I have other plows for that.

This is more my style for a rebuild.

Using a tractor with an electronic governor, once you set the throttle to 60 Hz it doesn't matter what load you put on the generator up to the input Horsepower capacity. That is with a good quality PTO generator like a Winco 27PTOC4 that uses Automatic Voltage Regulation. With a light load fuel...

At the time I had the problem the injectors were causing intermittent misfire and low power, this was before Kubota issued the service bulletin to replace injectors on that model. My friendly Kubota dealer offered to trade me out of that tractor for an M5-091, giving me exactly what I paid for...

I have upgraded my G5200 with an alternator that is similar to the kit that Kubota offers to upgrade my B2650 from a dynamo to an alternator, I even used the same belt on the G5200. I believe it is a 40 amp nominal alternator, tested output of 54 amps, DB Electrical 400-52014.

Some with cabs, some without.

I decided to upgrade from a Winpower 10/15 KW to the Winco 27KW, it will power everything without a problem. My L6060 works great, my M5-091 works even better with the EPTO, less fuel use. My B2650 will run it, but I wouldn't try to start the Air Conditioner, that might be a little much for...

If you saw the internal parts of the two different pumps, you would no why, the 3 cylinder CP-3 is very tough. The 2 cylinder CP-4 has little piss ant rollers that are approximately 0.375" in diameter that run against a two lobe cam, the wear starts very early in life for those pumps, hence the...

The smart money says if you are going to own a late model diesel pick up, buy it new and get rid of it before the warranty is out. Or buy old ones that have positive pressure to the high pressure fuel pump. All Duramax equipped pick ups prior to 2017 model year have no supply pump and the...

2011 thru 2016 GM Duramax fuel systems have a built in problem, the high pressure pumps start grinding themselves up form the first time you start them, eventually you end up replacing the entire fuel system. That system has no pump to supply fuel under pressure to the high pressure pump...

Now, you are a funny guy!

Ok, I can't take it anymore! You say "I could care less" do you mean you could actually care less, which means you care? Or do you mean you couldn't care less, which means you don't care at all? Come on people, lets use the English language correctly! I really don't give a rats ass about...
