    Where are the best places in the southeast US to look for a 2 ton+ chinese mini-ex?

    I sold Chinese equipment for several years. Just be sure you check out the hydraulic control valves before you buy.. They were generally very primitive and jumpy in my day....and they won't get better with time...

    Repairing Drilled Engine Block

    Question....if the hole goes through to cylinder wall is it below the ring travel? If so thread the entire hole and insert threaded rod with sealer....otherwise junk it... I personally would not buy a Kubota, no offense to anyone but they work too hard to do things like this. As another dealer...

    Hydraulic Problem After Hoses Replaced

    On rare occasions when a fitting is pushed into a hose it can "scoop up" part of the inner lining and in doing so could create a "flap" that blocks off fluid flow.

    Massey 563 2008

    Are you talking about changing fuel filter? If so some tractors have bleeders near the pump. Others do not and you have to crack open one injector line at a time till it leaks only fuel and no air. Hope this helps.

    International 444 gas - been sitting for years.

    There tractors were the best quality of all, bar none.....they just got to stubborn to change over the years.....Never worked on an old one that didn't keep going. Have two cubs now.

    TYM T25 this thing is amazing!!!

    Used to sell a few TYM's and they are excellent tractors. Back then they had serious dealer problems and support. Buy from a dealer you know. (I'm sure they have gotten better just be careful)

    Bulldozer comes off of trailer, kills 2

    I never pretended to be bright but I have yet to ever see a roll back strong enough to carry even the smallest of bulldozers. Maybe its time to wire all trucks with wifi cameras that can be reviewed by insurers from time to time.

    Battery Chargers

    Haven't tried one lately but I have two dead HF chargers that both died within a year. One can never go wrong with a Schumacher. Hope this helps.

    Have we been doing it wrong? High rpm's bad when not needed?

    I run older tractors mostly. I still do not use higher RPMs because among other things its the best way for a diesel engine to rip out a clutch under a load.....

    L3540 hydro power questions

    Had an old Cub once that did this forever until I found that a rubber hose had a small flap of rubber in it that popped up making a perfect blockage of the fitting it was fastened to. Have also seen many hoses get sucked inward when more fuel is pulled through....

    All thread rod as rebar

    Rusting of rebar is a big problem in some concrete if ever exposed. Don't know how threaded rod rusts in comparison...Don't use it on a hanging patio fifty feet up for sure.
