Grain drill or planter press wheel would be a good guess since they appear to have a dirt scraper on them.

Glad you got it back. What did they find?

Pig weed

Some times they will pop loose just by striking the rim straight down next to the wedge a few times. Start at the bottom and put the nuts back on like RickB suggested to keep em from flying across the shop. Tractor wedges are cut to where they usually dont fly out like truck wedges do but they can.

Or the fuel lift pump (priming pump).

Wow. I’d run another brand in a heartbeat if Puckett Machinery took that stance. Heck even Deere (both ag and construction) dealers here bend over backwards to help you get back up and running asap even when that means you yourself diagnosing/programing things on the telephone with their help.

For what its worth, my ec140el was fitted new at the dealer with hyd thumb and no relief valves. I asked two techs about it, both said it didnt need them as the system recyles pressurized oil. I dont like the idea of no relief valves but I watch my guys often over power the thumb with the bucket...

That looks like a cat part number xxx-xxxx. My dealer emails me diagrams whenever I need one free of charge. Try your local dealers main office.

I’m not saying what it is but it sounds like it will be a tower or billboard of some sort if its not just a junction box base. We build a base pad for billboards or towers every now and then. Most all of them only want an access road and a pad thick enough to support the cranes and cement...

Not clicking that link and getting my name put on a list….:ROFLMAO:

Dont feed the trolls.

No way! Tractors are kewl and you can’t put a pricetag on kool. Or spellin. 😜

I wouldn’t say that. Research moly grease a little and make your own informed decision on bearings and moly.

Ok not milky but thin and seems to be making more. Does it smell like diesel? Fuel lift (primer pumps) are bad about leaking fuel into crankcase as the diaphram ages. Since its not a milky emergency, buy an oil scan kit and see what is in it before you start changing parts.

You might want to consult your owners manual as far as moly grease and ball/rolller/needle bearings are concerned. That being said it is a pain in the ass keeping up with two different types of greases and I really don’t think my employees keep them separate at all but I try to keep the moly...
