    XR3135 Oil Filter Cross Ref (40318591)

    Thanks for the responses. From searching previous threads and Google, I found a Wix number for 51516. I picked that up and while it looks to be the proper diameter and thread, it's a little long compared to this filter and I worry it would start rubbing. Wouldn't want to see a rub hole lead to...

    XR3135 Oil Filter Cross Ref (40318591)

    Does anyone have a Wix or Napa cross reference number for this filter? I can't seem to find one, trying to get this oil change done and don't want to wait for delivery (no LS dealer close). If not Wix, how about Fleetguard, Mobil, AC Delco, Etc Thanks

    XR3135 - Remove & Drain Fuel Tank & System?

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but I wouldn't mind just pulling the tank and cleaning the whole thing out anyhow (if it's fairly straight-forward to remove).

    XR3135 - Remove & Drain Fuel Tank & System?

    Friend of mine has a 'new to him' XR3135 with about 600 hours on it. He let another guy use it, who proceeded to put about 5 gallons of GASOLINE into the tank, then ran it for a while still. This has led to sputtering, smoking, knocking, and who-knows-what-else. So, I'm trying to help him out...

    FRONT AXLE ISSUE ! - Massey 1500 1600 1700 series tractors (ie 1648 / 1652, etc)

    Has anyone performed work on their front axle / 4x4 system on a Massey 1652 or similar? (Should be same as 1547, 1648, 1652, 1749, etc...). I've got about 1500 hrs on my 1652. Great machine, no previous issues. During some heavy loader work recently, I've developed an issue with my 4x4. I...

    Off-Topic - Dirtbike carb Q (LOOK AT PICS PLEASE)

    Yamaha PW-80 kids Dirtbike, Mikuni carb. Just took the carb apart and put back together. These 2 ports were open without any hoses when I found the bike (it was essentially a dumpster find) so I'm not sure where they should get routed to, if anywhere... or capped. Any ideas? (Note - the bike...

    Any snowmobile owners who own tractors?

    Good thread! We're down in S/E Michigan. Didn't get a ton of changes to rise this year but it wasn't terrible. The kids were able to ride around the property a bunch. The wife and I have vMax 600's and the kids each have Enticer 340's.

    Mowing L5740 set-up/combination

    I used to pull an 8 ft Ford pull mower, pto-to-belt driven... My machine has about 40 PTO hp. Could pull it up hills, could cut grass and weeds. Was a really great mower. I sold it and got an 8ft Ford flail-mower instead. The flail does a great job but I think the rotary mower left a nicer...

    2019 F350 crew cab lariat question

    Ok thanks, glad to hear the ride is improved with the newer models. I know my 2014 isn't "old" and I keep it in great shape.... But my only really complaint is the ride quality. I agree with you, the diesel is obviously more powerful. I don't want to turn this into a gas-vs-diesel thing...I'm...

    Bought a 1999 NH 445D

    Nice looking machine! I had a 545d that o really liked. Ended up selling it because I wasn't using it enough. Tough machines.

    Leveling topsoil for new lawn

    Perfect way to finish it after that is with a Landscape Tiller (ATI Preseeder is what I use). Very expensive tool ($12k) but the finished product is very nice.
