My father has a 2003 4341 and the hydraulic on the frontend loader broke -- one of the two that drives his bucket. He's 88 and needs this for winter. The machine shop said they could not fix it as it was bent and scared the cylinder too bad so I need a new one. Where do you find these parts?

My dad has a 2003 Zetor 4341 tractor and it uses a 4DLT battery. However, he is 88 and forgets to check the water so the battery goes dead so he wants a maintenance free battery to replace it. Any ideas of alternative batteries? He says its a tight fit. Here are the specs on the current...

I have a 4 year old LA 175 and use it pretty heavy. The other day I was mowing for about 3 hours and when I was backing up the blades suddenly slow up and almost stopped. So I cooled it off and checked the blades and retried it and when I turned on the blades it sounded like a helicopter...

I need about 60 amps at my barn which is about 350 feet from the house panel. It must be buried and it will cross over my cable for the tv. I looked at running a new line from the street but they want $65 a month for the meter which is too high. I've received quotes and they are all over the...

I finally finished my barn & need to add power. My wife called the power company and they told her it would be better to run power from the house than get a new service and meter as I would have to pay a $60 a month meter charge. Pole building is about 450 feet from were the power comes into...

A friend of mine is having problems with a skunk trying to build her next under his front purch slab. She is probably wanting to have her sping babies there. He keeps filling in the hole but she comes back and redigs it every night. Any ideas? He lives in town and the city will not capture...

I have a 30 hp chinese dozer that was runing fine until a few weeks ago. What happened is that when I went to start it, note that it was left out in the rain for a week, it blew two fuses. So I replaced them, a number of tiems and it finally started. It did this for a week or so with me going...

I have a question on order of activities. I have about 3+ acres of grass around my house and very bad ground so I added some top soil and seeded it about 2 or 3 years ago. Now, each year I aerate, put down grab grass control, fertilize, lime, and over seed in the spring and late fall and the...

I'm building a pole buidling in about two months and plan on running electricity to it before next winter. Would #10 wire be as good as I need and should I run two wires? Here is some more information: I plan on dropping in additional breaker in the house fuse box and connecting the pole...
