My Husky 142 leaks oil while just sitting on the shelf to the point that it will drain the tank. After cutting some trees this week I cleaned it up and put it away only to find a large pool of oil the next day. I'm really fed up with this so I disassembled the saw, filled it with oil and set it...

It's finally warmed up enough to look at an electrical problem that cropped up during the snow storm last month. I have a 1998 Kubota L2900GST and after plowing the road a couple of times I went out for another round, turned the key, glow plug preheat came on and then I heard a "click" and lost...

I own a Husqvarna 142 with a serial number after 2006xxxx1 which means that it requires an R56 chain. This has never been an issue before but now I'm unable to find anyone locally that stocks this chain. 142s with serial numbers before 2006xxxx1 use the S56 chain and I can buy it anywhere...

I was able to get one pic off of my phone for what it's worth, hoping to hear from the welder today... stay tuned

My son and brother in law were cutting and burning trees last week and were using my L2900GST to push the trees into the burning pile. All was well until they heard a load "bang" and the 3ph dropped and oil began gushing from under the seat :(. By the time I got home from work they had the...

Recently the glow plug indicator light on my 1998 Kubota L2900 has been staying on after starting for about a minute and will randomly come on while operating. This doesn't happen everytime I start it and doesn't seam to be related to ambient temperture or operating RPMs. Is this an indication...

Does anyone know if there is any difference between a classical A v-belt and an agricultural HA v-belt? The HA belt is $32 at the Deere dealer and $20 for the A belt at the auto parts store and is 15 miles closer. The auto store carries both Gates and Dayco for the same price and both are good...

I'm getting ready to build a simple garage, straight forward construction. My question is: how much room should be allowed between the sidewall and the overhead door frame so that when the car is parked there is adequate room to get in and out of the car? The garage will be a 2-car, 28' wide...

My daughter's LT160 has been running very rough lately. I pulled the top off of the air box to check the filter and was surprised to find that the air box was about 1/2 full of gas. I bailed it out and it ran fine for a few days and then it started sputtering again. So, I opened the air box...

I used my L2900 Tuesday night to haul off some limbs that I had cut up following a storm. All was well until Wednesday evening. As soon as I started the tractor I had a fountain spraying from the top of the loader return hose. I know for sure that nothing fell on the line or hit it and it...

Does anyone have a source for combination Cat I /Cat II lift pins? I saw an ad for them but didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it again.

I thought these might be of interest to some of you. Flood stage in Burlington is 15', we will crest tonight at over 26'. This surpasses the record of 25.1' set in 1993. You can see more photos here: hand2theplow/Flood2008 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting and here: BIG COUNTRY 103.1 -...

I need to pull the blades from my brush cutter and was wondering what is the safest way to go about it and how others have done it. My first thought is to use the FEL and simply turn it over on its back, gently of course. Any thoughts?

Could someone walk me through the correct way to remove the FEL?
