Auto Owners wrote mine for $39.53 per year on my Yanmar 424, and $32.12 per year on my little Kubota excavator. They show both as "garden tractor class".

I have a little KX008-3 and mine does the same thing. I think it's usually sticks or something out in the woods.

I had mine running on a slight hill this weekend and it rolled some. Not nearly as easily as a gear drive tractor in neutral, but it does roll a bit of the brake is off or the loader isn't down. I think any tractor with a hydro does that.

If you can push it on flat ground that is very strange. Is that with the tractor running or shut off? I guess I can't remember exactly how mine rolls with it running, I was thinking when the tractor is shut off it will creep if it's on a hill. I should be at my campground this weekend where the...

My 424 will roll a little on a gentle slope. It is kind of jerky when it rolls, as the fluid must be working its way through the hydro. Usually having the loader down is enough to stop it, unless the hill is pretty steep then I set the brake.

Has anybody ever heard of, or used Mobil SHC 639 gear oil? I have a friend who says he has a pail of it he would give me, but I'm having trouble finding too much info on it. I'd like to use it in my 1935 A John Deere transmission and rearend, but I can't find the viscosity anywhere. I did find...

I've hauled my Yanmar 424 on a 12' trailer a few times, but I have to remove the bucket and load it backwards in front with the loader arms sitting in the bucket. A CX2510 is about the same length, so I would say 14' minimum if you want to haul it with the bucket attached. I much prefer hauling...

I'd just use Rotella T6 5W40

I don't know if I have them anymore, but I can look. There are several youtube videos showing install of these, but I can't find one for a Yanmar. The hardest thing is finding your power beyond port, which is under the seat. Here is a link to a video of a guy doing a third function on his 324...

People driving down the interstate looking at their phones the whole time. I see it every time I go on the freeway. It makes me so mad I want to roll down my window and throw my beer at 'em!

If it's a relatively inexpensive gun safe I have heard that they can sometimes be opened with a rare earth magnet. You can probably find videos on Youtube that show how.

Pic 1 is my new pup Bentley, who I got on August 20th. Pic 2 is the very last pic taken of the best dog who ever lived, my boy Luke (Ookie) 6-7-2007 to 8-12 2022. RIP Ookster!!

Crossfit 5 times a week in the summer and six times a week in the winter. We're usually at the camper on Saturdays during the summer.
