I have a U25S mini excavator. On the Kubota parts site, the U series is listed under K series mini's. On the products page the K008-3 is listed under the KX series. Is it a goof or am I missing something? The paint chart on another post got me looking at this. I want some undercarriage paint and...

A friend gave me this valve and I can't make out what the brand is. I am wondering if it could be used to control a top and tilt system on my NH 2120. It has a rear remote with a single spool valve which I think has power beyond. He also gave me a hydraulic cylinder which I'd like to use for a...

I have an 2008 S250 with 1200 hours on it. I've been hearing a noise when it was hot and tracked it down to the fan rubbing on the shroud beneath it on the side towards the passenger compartment. Everything looks ok and the bolts holding the fan assembly are tight. Any suggestions?

This carrier pigeon has been hanging around the campground for the last few days. Anybody lose one?

The transmission dipstick is showing some wear marks on it, as if something rubbing against it. It's got a groove on 2 sides, probably from checking the oil and putting it back, not in the same position. It isn't bent and everything works fine. I did adjust the clutch this spring, but I've never...

A friend just offered me a working generator. I can't turn down a good deal, even if I don't need it. But can I use this for 110 and 220 volt equipment? I think so, just checking.

Getting ready to open my campground and I found that my well casing has rusted to the point that it is falling apart. The pipe comes up through the well cap and I was taking the union apart to flush the well for a while. The well used to be inside the pump house with the chlorine treatment...

Now I have a shallow well pump, clarifying filter and water softener supplying my house, which has an upstairs apartment. I'd like to boost the pressure and volume, as taking a shower upstairs and downstairs at the same time is a problem. I have a couple extra shallow well pumps, a 80 gallon...

Finally warmed up enough to start working on making some sort of maintenance hatch for the ZD28. I have never had the platform off it before. Unbolting it was simple, 6 easy to get at bolts. The problem then was it couldn't get over the brake pedal. I unbolted the pedal, got the platform off and...

Someone here once posted a sketch of the actual skidsteer attachment dimensions. I thought I saved it, but alas, no. I tried a search to no avail. Can anyone help?

I guess I took out the clutch on my NH 2120. I went to shift into 4wd and something came loose, when I let the pedal out all I get is a rubbing noise. Dealer will be picking it up the first of the week, unless I figure out a way to get it on my trailer. It's just under 1400 hours, and the last...

My NH 2120 needs new front tires. They are 8" X 18" ag tires and I can't find any. I've had some on order since last October, and apparently Firestone only makes them once in a blue moon. Anybody got a source?

I just noticed the shaft on my RTS62 has some play in it where it comes out of the chain drive. The side plate is cracked where it goes around the shaft. Not sure if the bearings are bad too. Anybody ever have this problem, and is it something I want to repair myself? It's probably caused by all...

I've got one of those adapters that let you refill the 2 lb. cylinders with a 20 lb. bottle. You are supposed to use cylinders designed for refilling. I have searched stores and the internet, but can't find any. I have figured out how to refill the ones you aren't supposed too, but would go the...

I've got 4 trailers(boat, snowmobile, dump and equipment) and would like to get up to date on greasing the wheel bearings. First, some of them have the zerc's on the grease caps. Is that adequate for lifelong greasing or do you still need to pull the wheel and get your hands dirty? Second...
