    TYM wants to tip or roll over - need advise

    Put several bags of the mulch on the bushog and youll be good to go. Filled tires (ballast) is good, but counterweight, carried low, behind the axle is more effective when using the loader.

    CK30 Tie Rod replacement, tire alignment help needed! <Resolved>

    If you were there you could say that, but a single pic, slightly off axis with bucket doing what?, could steer you wrong. Loaders on the tractor they are designed for arent easy to tweak. My wife managed, taking off in 3rd downhill on the 7520 with forks parked straight down in the ground. Iv...

    CK30 Tie Rod replacement, tire alignment help needed! <Resolved>

    Im going to guess, that if you arranged to pull the forward part of each front tire toward each other the wheels would come into alignment gradually by hydraulic leakage through the steering circuit. Im talking engine OFF and a moderate pull force of 2 or 3 hundred pounds with a come along.

    CK30 Tie Rod replacement, tire alignment help needed! <Resolved>

    I dont have a CK30 so I would need pics to diagnose. Cant you block the steered wheel in a position and then move the free wheel to match it? ... Then afterward fine adjust.

    Is my problem solved?

    I have gotten sinus infection at times I was using chemicals - particularly if there was also some airborne particulate associated. Never from just dust. Your chemical link may be real. I have found that Bayberry Bark tea is highly effective to the point that antibiotics are unneeded. You snort...

    Flail mower for grinding up brush piles

    What I have always done is use an old JD 127 5ft bushog I have. Driven by 45ptohp it does a pretty good job chomping up 10' diameter man hand assembled piles almost instantly. Material up to 3" or reconsolidate and go again for bigger stuff. No stump jumper on this old mower, just a 40" bar with...

    PTO Shaft to Gearbox Bolts Keep Breaking!

    Unless you unfortunately happen to use #620, which is strong up to 232C. This formulation is one of the strongest to start with, and gets stronger as it ages at mild heat. Youll be melting seals and blueing bearings to get this one off. -- #638 would be a good choice. Highest strength but...

    JD 790 Wouldnt start, just one bendix clank, then dash lites stopped working.

    Bad connection somewhere. Battery terminals, ground, etc. Probably corrosion at the ground where your negative cable bolts to the chassis. Also check fuses and then the fusible link.

    “Forcing” the FEL to lift?

    A bucket moves forward as it lifts for the 1st foot or so. If youre pushing it makes it much harder to lift.

    PTO Shaft to Gearbox Bolts Keep Breaking!

    This suggests that the input shaft is wallowed to a "bellmouth" and the bolt is continually flexing at the root of the bell ... or-r the thread being in the stressed region is causing a similar problem favoring fatigue failure. From pics I see you are only getting single shear. Then I presume...

    Briggs 44M777 Surging issues - Need help!

    Are you aware of the "valve guide migration" problem that many B&S engines have shown? Essentially the guides - usually exhaust - move toward the rocker arms, eventually interfering with the ability to fully open the valve. Many clever fixes have been devised posted online. But you will have to...

    Please explain this difference between diesel and gasoline engines

    During the intake and compression of a gas engine the atomized intake mixture evaporates cooling everything it touches; valves, piston, and the combustion chamber. A leaner charge means less cooling. Further, when the burn happens it burns slower and doesnt complete before the ex valve opens...
