    Cheap heat for uncabbed tractor plus intake preheat?

    back in the day" when pretty much all equipment was open station. The name of the game then was to get the engine heat blowing on you. You have an engine running at +/-180 degrees and a fan built in use it. I have seen some pretty ingenious ways to get the heat from motors onto the operator. In...

    Submersible well pump went out, thoughts?

    #1 consideration for cutting cost "you get what you pay for" and how often do you want to replace your well pump? Do you need a 3/4hp pump for a 100' well? The old well here is 300' deep and it used a 3/4hp pump. You may be able to go to a 1/2h pump. The price difference may not be that great...

    Repelling / Deterring Beavers

    My .25c worth....and likely unpopular with you 1, If there is available food and from the picture it looks like there is.....the beavers will return again and again and again. They were there long before you arrived and will be there long after you are dust 2, IMO Let them finish their work...

    Mahindra MPOW85 has no power, bought New:

    Warranty....its not fixed....you paid for warranty use it.Starts out slow.......hmmm......and left the dealer the same way and they did not notice. Starts fine or needs to crank over for more than 2 or 3 seconds? I ask because it may be a fuel shut off/fuel solenoid issue

    3650 PST 50 Hour Service Questions

    And there are many more PO'ed Kubota owners that say the same about Kubota's warranty when the manufacturer will not warranty abuse/negligence. Hope your ego is sufficiently stroked with your childish witticism

    Glow plugs

    What colour is the smoke?.....does it clear up when the engine gets to operating temp? If memory serves the way to check what kind of shape your glow plugs are in is to do a resistance check with an ohm metre check and make sure power is getting to them first.....it may be a pooched controller...

    3650 PST 50 Hour Service Questions

    "117$ seems insanely high".....you just bought this. You have warranty.....lots of it - when is the next filter service due after the initial service? 250hrs.. 500hrs more? First service is always eye watering buying warranty approved filters - is it worth the 25 50 or 75$ saved to buy a non...

    Starting Procedure

    What does your owners manual say on the subject? Some sales men are suspect in their credentials when trying to seal the deal. My thoughts run to this. And I am in no way familiar with your machine. But with my M85...I use it watch the preheat indictor in the dash every time I start it. If the...

    Do These Actually Work...

    Not sure how much you use your chainsaw but if I did not know how to sharpen a saw I would 1, learn the fundamentals of what is needed to make a chain cut. And what is needed to allow the bit of the chain to cut. Don't forget to find out what happens when you get either wrong and how to correct...

    Stihl 194

    To me it sounds like an air leak in the carburetor/intake system or a leaking crank seal

    Bought new pickup should I get it undercoated ?

    In my opinion get the best undercoating you can. I have only ever bought one new vehicle in my life and I had it undercoated at the dealer. I can not remember the brand now but no sign of rust anywhere until 750k. That said a friend had a device that some how put a negative [?] charge through...

    Please critique the weld quality (photos enclosed)

    You should have had these powder coated after the hinges were welded on....or ground the powder coat off before welding the hinges on. The welder should have known to grind that crap off though

This takes like 1 min on a computer to oder and is literally the butter on their bread after sale of the machine. You can always get you filters on line and delivered...
