I took it apart today. The input shaft is sheared in two right behind the worm gear. Thankfully all the gears look ok.

I have 72" Bercomac, model #700969-1-33v with the 33hp B&S mounted on a tractor. B&S engine is running, second stage is spinning augers are not. The shaft from the second stage to the gearbox that drives the augers is spinning. I can spin the augers freely. Both move together. All three shear...

If my tow ball can pull a 10,000Lb trailer; why can't it pull, not jerk, a stuck vehicle?

I've pulled a few vehicles out from the tie down hooks. I wouldn't do it if they were buried. Most times they just need a little help. If possible, I try to pull them out the way they went in. I have used the tow ball on a lot of pickup trucks to pull from. Is that a bad practice? Remember; I go...

A few of you mentioned KTAC. I bought a new Kubota last year. The dealer never mentioned insurance, maybe because I paid cash. Anyway, I just looked up KTAC. It appears to be similar to the insurance we buy for our on-road vehicles, fire, theft, collision. It specifically excludes mechanical...

A couple of you guys mentioned using your home heating oil in your tractors. Just as everything else, a couple people told me it's the same stuff with dye; a couple people told me it's very different. I do it to save some money, but especially for convienience. I put a pump on top of my home...

I found the answer on another site. They are BSPT or British Standard Pipe Tapered. Who knows why. It sounds pretty obscure to me. $5 to $8/each from the dealer!

I don't know anything about grease fitting sizes. I have to replace a couple on my Deere mini. I'm guessing they're metric because a metric socket fit perfect to remove them. The threads appear tapered. A couple appear to be 10mm. One of them has threads that measure about 9.44mm diameter. Any...

I have a Kubota 2380 with a mid mount 60" mower. I want to cut food plots as high as possible; just to take the tops of the weeds off before they flower. My manual says: "To avoid serious injury; never operate the mower in the transport position." Is this just a safety issue, as in I might fall...

I think I'm using the right terminology. I have a conical fertilizer spreader. I just bought a bigger tractor and have added Pat's quick hitches. The 3 pt shaft is now too short. I want to buy a longer shaft but am a little confused on how they are specified. I see different series mentioned and...

I just got a Mahindra 2655 with a cab. This is my first tractor with a cab and with a rear remote. I am going to get a hydraulic toplink. When attaching an implement, will I have to get in and out of the cab to adjust the top link with the lever or can you pull/push it in and out manually?

I just bought a used 2655 with the cab. I mean just - got it yesterday. I bought it from the dealer with 69 hours on it. It has a 65B backhoe on it. They told me the backhoe comes off real easy. It looks to me like it will. Pull two pins and the two hoses. The only problem I see, is the sway...

Can someone post a picture of how you mount an implement off center. I don't get it?

Thank you for all the suggestions. I got it running. It was the ground as a few of you thought. I still have a couple of questions. I tried running a jumper cable from the negative of the battery to the engine compartment. The engine looks painted so I didn't try that. Would that have still...

There is no cover under my motor. There are two access ports. One just looks at the oil pan, the other looks at a hydraulic pump(I think). My engine compartment opens from the rear. Looking at the motor from the rear, facing forward, the fan is on the right. If I hold a mirror past the motor, I...
