My Dk40SE has plastic tanks. A few years ago I let my wife do some brush hogging unsupervised, got an alder up in the fan and wiped out every blade on the fan. I pulled out the entire cooling pack so I could have a rad shop check things over. It's bit of a process to pull everything out...

I bought an Espar coolant heater 20+ years ago for a Mercedes car I had with a diesel engine. I would park at the train station and set the timer so that it would start 30 minutes before I arrived, one of the greatest investment I made. Fast forward, I scrapped the car, but kept the heater, it...

To close out this long saga for anyone else who may find this in the future and are trying to solve a similar issue, here's where I ended up. I ended up splitting the tractor again, pulling out the reverser unit and pretty much replaced every seal inside of it and checked over everything else...

My 72" Kioti blower is 1/4", I run grade 5 bolts, anything less and you're constantly changing out the bolt when you grab a piece of ice wrong. Never had an issue, the grade 5 will break if you pull anything too substantial.

I can't comment on the specifics of what you maybe into with this repair, but I have a 410A with a bad reverser which has some similarities to the 301A and the vast majority of the minor fasteners are 9/16 with the odd ones being 7/16 or 1/2. For the big fasteners you'll be looking at 7/8...

Looks like Cat builds a purpose build track loader for slag work. https://www.pon-cat.com/en-no/arkivet/archives/track-loaders/cat-973k-track-loader-steel-mill-configuration Includes high temp seals for the undercarriage.

I have a front mount on my DK40 and it has never given me any trouble in the 10 years I've owned it. The up side of paying the premium for a front mount is that it's a lot easier to operate, especially if you have a long driveway to clear. The downside is that you can't use the loader while...

If you go on Google and search for "Bundy Bears Shed Deere steering" you'll find a couple videos where goes through pretty much everything about these systems.

Looks like there is a kit from Deere that will allow for fitment: https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/81181/referrer/navigation/pgId/64030189...

I had to split my 755 a couple years ago and while I was in there I replaced the cooler lines. I would never say it's impossible to do the job without splitting the tractor, but it's going to be a fight and you'll probably end up tearing the machine most of the way down. It's been a couple...

I'll put money on a defective relay. Mine was intermittent, messed around chasing grounds, but in the end, a new relay fixed it. There are two different version and I'm not sure if they interchange. Pull your dash and get the number off it before you order one. Jason

I went through the process of figuring out the parts list to make this happen once and in my digging I believe I found that the turbine inlet was either a T03 or a T04 port. It's been a couple years, but I'm pretty confident that's what it was. The biggest thing that I came up with during my...

The linkage between the pedals and the hydro unit on my tractor was bent due to a stick going someplace it shouldn't have. In the process of restoring the range of travel, I messed around with the limiters and in my experience, the limiter set just shy of the maximum stroke, so I don't think...

Had something similar happen to mine a number of year ago, in my case the float detents were rusty and jammed causing more force to snap it out of float, in the end I broke the cast aluminum yoke. I have a cab on my DK40SE and there are a couple caps behind the rear remote controls, pop them...

My 410 can be described as a drippy old unit. When I first bought it I didn't monitor the oil level in the transmission close enough and once it dropped to a certain point, the system started to make some odd noises. The machine dug fine, but one of the valves next to the transmission would...
