Anyone consider making a solution of phosphate and water and spray the table? The phosphate will coat and seal the metal turning it black. Same process is used for impact sockets. I've coated diff. covers during fluid service and then paint them. No rust after a few years of driving. Under...

Been following TK's Garage on this topic. EPA has presented many changes to Congress for permanent changes, that will make it difficult/impossible to reverse by succeeding administrations. TK's Garage I'd really love to stop burning a gallon of fuel on regen, right? of course..!

In case one may not be aware but there are two types of blue loctite. 242 and 243......I use the 243 because I am truly lazy but on occasion to clean up and wipe away oils and grease prior to using it. A few shots of brake cleaner then assembly and large bugger drops of 243. Here is a thread on...

I've got 1200 hours on my 2017 Kioti. So for its age it would be rather low hours. If you can find out about its maintenance history I'd give it a hard look. Course I do annual oil changes and hydro fluid every 400 hours or so. Plus coolant flushes and well winter time, I'm all over it. But...

I do the same when hauling tractor out on jobs. The bounce from the tires for some reason the chains do get slack in them. I snug them back down. It's always on my mind, as people pass me on double yellow lines cause I set CC on 60-65-ish. If there's a place to scoot over I will give them at...

After much homework, I paid $102.00 for Kioti KL6010 seal kit. About average at most Kioti on line tractor sites. That's the full kit. I paid $150 for this at a Victoria Hyd. shop and began leaking again after 5 months into it. Once I took it apart, realized the internal seals may not have been...

mine had red loctite! So maybe one of those mini-torches for localized heat to melt product.

dang so sadly true...!!! Stopped by to visit a antique store in Schulenberg cause well, they have books! Browsing around, I noticed they had graders, dump trucks and excavators, metal ones, aged and rusty, the kind I used to find on the side of the road discarded. I'd take them home and do what...

Direct Fuel Injection engines will suffer greatly because of design. It is to meet EPA crap. Normal FI engines get the intake valve washed by the AF mixture. DI never gets exposed to this. This also means shorter oil drain intervals due to the recycled blow-by. Those with dual injection...

Thanks for reminding me of my winter ritual. Time to bring into the shop and remove seat, FEL control cover and give it a once over. Clean everything. Use dry lubricant on the FEL joy stick cables, throttle, all linkages underneath and so on. Set shop heater to low, crank up music and stay outta...

Back when the NX was first purchased went to get oil filters. Was asked if I needed oil. Told him I had T6 and he said even better. Diesel rated oils have additive package for that application. So cannot see how tractor would be different. Diesels all operate on same combustion principle and...

Having owned a Tundra and worked it in our pasture yeah, the IFS is sweet. If you have no need for long drives in rough terrain very often, I'd opt for the 2500 with the 6.6l gasser for sure. I really enjoy the ride of our son's GMC 1500. Smooth as the old Tundra. Have a great week! Too bad it...

I would recommend using Valvoline Restore and Protect. The Motor oil Geek channel does a long boring but informative interview with the engineer. The oil actually works as advertised and even the Ford Boss Me channel tested it on his truck as well. It cleans internal slowly and seem to have...

The 3.5l eco-boost is good for the F150 and that's about its limit. Numbers alone do not decide application. My 6.2l F250 pulls 11.2k to 11.7k or so during shredding season. I have to set cruise control to 60 mph cause it'll hit 80 in no time. Yet, when getting settled in to unload in a...

DANG...!!!!! NICE...!!!! Gonna save this thread and your contact here should the need arise. I'll know who to PM for help. OR, if we all don't go poof by glowing mushrooms next year, learn about what type of 3D printer and materials are out there. For a retired guy like me, this can have...
