4wd will not get you out of this situation.

First real test with new computer.

My Grandfather has a 1997 GMC Sierra 1500 5.7L in mint condition with around 65,000 miles. Truck has been running very well since we replaced the Mass Airflow Sensor last month (Had stalled out/flooded throwing P0103 code). After sitting for three days in the garage, he went out to start the...

I am unable to change my number on the classified side of the website. Can click on it under settings, but the keyboard delete button won't do anything. Any ideas?

Not sure the towing capacity on these rigs, but it seemed to have plenty of tongue weight.

A friend just gave me his Larin 1500 pound ATV/Cycle jack in non working condition. He had unscrewed the release valve on the bottle jack portion so far that it and a bunch of oil came out. Hasn't been used since and I tried to add oil and bleed the jack today. The process I used was to open the...

Here is the actual file.

Would a 5.5 foot disc mower work well with a 2240? We would be looking at getting a new or slightly used unit. Any brand/model recommendations? Only have about 12 acres to hay currently, so the maneuverability of a narrower unit would be nice to have.

Came across this comparison that I found to be very informative. I have been running the Bridgestone W965 on my Excursion and other than higher road noise, have been very happy with the performance. Snow Tire Shootout | Medium Duty Work Truck Info

Just just read this article about how downsizing and turbocharging engines creates higher emissions. Sounds like this was "unforeseen" by the automakers and the only solution is to make larger displacement engines or install a particulate filter like a diesel. Intensified Emissions Testing...

I ran across a trailer manufacturer in Iowa that sells factory direct and has really low prices. Does anyone have any first hand experience with these? Their tilt trailer looks like an H&H design. 44 (Page Not Found) Error - Ever feel like you're in the wrong place?

Here is a song that a friend shared with me. I really got a kick out of it. https://youtu.be/VmtG4rTrogs

Here is a cool film that was just produced featuring the Century Farm my grandmother grew up on in central Iowa. I really like the footage that was shot using a video drone. https://vimeo.com/149867762

Anyone know the year, make or model of the truck in the attached photo. My friend was thinking of buying it but this is the only photo he has so far. It does run.

We have a 1997 Daweoo DSL801 skid steer loader with around 1800 hours on it. Over the past year or so, the hydraulic warning light would come on randomly. Today, under very light usage, the hydraulic system emptied itself by blowing out the filter gasket and completely covering the engine...

We are in the process of replacing the shift cover of our 2240 (SN: 179xxx) due to the snap ring groove wearing out and not holding the left (hi-low-park-reverse) shifter in place. We have a new cover ($500!!) and we removed the old one today. When we looked under the cover, we saw that the...

My grandpa and I just picked up a used JD 2240 2WD with a 520 loader. Any tips or tricks you could share would be appreciated. We can't figure out what the yellow lever between the shifters does. We will be using the tractor for haying a dozen acres, blowing snow and other chores. The tractor...

Has anyone had experience with one of these systems? It appears to pull diesel from your tank and oil from your drain pan during a change. The oil is then filtered and blended into the diesel at a 7.5% ratio. http://www.clarustechnologies.com/

I have a friend who just got a 2007 Chevy Avalanche and his voltage gauge has been fluctuating from 12.6-14.2 and down again while he is driving. Is this caused by the computer sensing less load on the electrical system and letting the alternator "freewheel" or is this a sign of internal...

I purchased a used 2008 Chevy Impala this last summer and it came with an Optima "Yellow Top" Starting/Deep Cycle battery installed in it. The battery was made in March of 2011 and has been trouble free until now. Yesterday I went to move the car and it just made a faint click and wouldn't...

Came across this deserted Toyota Tundra today. Skid mark showed that the right lower ball joint separated on a flat street with a 30 MPH limit. Could have been much worse at highway speeds.

Have a Pug UTV with a 20hp v-twin Honda GX620 engine. The exhaust makes a loud pop/bang after you run wide open throttle and let off the gas. I've checked and adjusted the valve clearance and carburetor is clean. Turning the low speed fuel screw in or out doesn't change the symptom. Getting good...

I am thinking about looking at this truck. '02 F350 4x4 SRW CCSB, 7.3L PSD with 6-speed. 105,000 miles with new tires. Right now it is priced at $17K. KBB value is also $17K in my area. Still seems a bit high to me.

Ford is replacing the E-series vans with a US built version of the full-size European Transit. They just announced that the main engine will be the 3.5L EcoBoost V6. http://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1073701_ford-econoline-vans-to-be-replaced-by-transit-with-ecoboost-v-6

Wondering if anyone knew of a source for reasonably priced auxiliary hydraulic coupler assemblies for the T190. Primarily looking for the female coupler on the machine side. Bobcat wants over $150 each and someone told me they got them online for between $50 and $75 but they don't remember the...

I have to go get this dozer running for a friend but I can't tell what make and model it is. I am told that it has a two cylinder gas engine (that isn't firing at the moment). I would check it myself, but it's 150 miles away and this is the only picture I have.

Spotted a new addition to our local municipality. They are using this JLG drop deck to transport a small (48-54") zero turn mower. I am pretty sure that these run around $10K. None of the private lawn service companies have anything like this so I assume that it is being used as dual purpose...

The wheel drive transmission went out on the Gravely 566 the other day. We are going to upgrade to a new unit and were wondering if there was any interest in the machine or parts of it. It has the mower and the blower attachment. The serial number is 00390374.

A local excavator went down a snowmobile trail to rescue a sunken trail groomer. The machine sunk in the same swamp. The recovery took 3 days and at least 3 dozers that were attached at a distance by cables. I think that the excavator is a Daewoo or a Doosan. I would not take anything across a...

I am new to the site and I need to purchase a 4wd compact tractor with loader to move 3 foot diameter rocks and climb steep grades. I don't know what brand would be best? I have had good experiences with Yanmar diesels in skid loaders and I have had had bad experiences with 3 22-57hp Belarus...
