I doubt the grease trick will do the job - it works well with bushes, like the pilot bearing in a crank, but the grease will just extrude through the balls. I admit I've never tried it with cloth as well though. Careful (eyes) if you try it because the grease can jet out between balls, or any...

If there is no room under the bearing to get the puller legs in from the inside, you will have to destroy the bearing to remove (might not be a bad idea to replace it anyway - they are usually marked with the bearing code & are cheap enough if you don't go to a Kubota dealer! ) Weld a bar across...

. Blimey - talk about money to burn!! Don't buy anything until you have thoroughly cleaned the battery cable connections & the earthing point(s) on the engine & chassis. 10:1 it's just a bad connection. Next thing is to check the cable terminations. If these are bad then just shorten the cable...

Depends what you want to cut - on my land, a lowland marsh, cutting rushes 3ft high will bog down my 70hp Zetor tractor unless you slow down to 1 or 2 mph! That's with a 6ft Turner extreme heavy duty flail mower that weighs over 15 cwt (1700lbs). Cutting grassland in a more arid climate than...

I'm surprised that the rocker adjustment is not capable of accomodating a head skim without further work. If you find out how many thou the head was skimmed, say 20 thou (.020"). If 20 thou was taken off then 20 thou needs putting back - simples! Then get some 20 thou flat sheet & cut out the...

Rather than disturb the head again, just fit spacers under the rocker towers?

Shutoff solenoid has a pull-in coil & a hold-in coil. Sounds like the pull in works, but the hold-in doesn't? If current is kept applied to the pull-in coil it will burn out, which sounds as if it is happening. If the solenoid is external to the injection pump & just acts on the linkage (like on...

Ah! If the HNL lever is limp then have another look. You should definitely have some feel as you move from H-N-L and back. There is a pin that connects the lever to the shaft that is notorious for dropping out. Yours may be partially out & occasionally sliding out, then back in? It happened...

Rather than a lift, I tend to agree with you & this bloke:-

I agree it sounds like there is some binding on the splines of the shaft. Try spraying some brake & carb cleaner, ideally with a tube nozzle, onto the shaft through the inspection port? Work the clutch pedal up & down a lot & keep respraying until you think you have cleaned up the splines. I...

Have a look at MartyT's solution:-

Looks like it's the breather plate the oil filler is attached to. My 7045 was the same, try using some Hylomar or Permatex on the gasket.

May be worth annealing the new casting thoroughly before you fit it? If you have a wood stove, put it in there & heat it up to dull red for a while, then let it cool down as slowly as possible - keep immersed in the wood ash, or let the stove go out by itself if that is practicable. Should...

I think a standard 3Point splitter goes for between £350-550 second hand, so I agree if you are starting from scratch to buy an RSJ, plates & angle iron, cylinder, valve & lines it makes much more sense to buy a used one. If you have a supply of what my wife calls "scrap" & I call "stock" plus...

I had the same manual splitter (Ebay second hand £12)& the same idea as you! The problem with using the jack with externally supplied hydraulic pressure is that there is no return path for the oil. In a jack the cylinder overflows (small hole near top of bore) into the external case which holds...

Don't need one myself, since 90% of my wood is from hedgelaying, so max 6-8" dia, but the best solution I've seen is from NZ :- He's a very clever bloke, that one!

Yes - the pin has just broken on my 7045 on the HI-Lo lever so I am now stuck in Hi. Need to remove cab floor on mine too.

Don't your kids cry?

I don't have a picture of my setup - last time I did it I was boring the base of an old Redding shotgun reloading press I'd been given. This was only about 4" wide, but the principle is the same. I did find this set up, which gives the general idea, though a LOT newer (& smaller) than my lathe !

I have an UTB 445DT which is the 4WD version of the Long 445. This is a selectable 4 WD or front wheel assist arrangement. On mine the front axle can move forward or backward by over 1/8"! I could, for now, slide in a brass thrust washer to take up this slack, but its clear the trunnion bearings...

I have a Long 445DT which comes fitted with a factory remote hydraulic valve intended to operate a double acting cylinder via two quick connects at the rear. Down feeds one connect & up feeds the other. It has previously been modified so that the lever-down valve outlet is piped to a spool...

My PTO has two options (plus neutral). One is 540 & the use is obvious, but the other is "Ground Speed" - what would that be used for?

I'm using a tractor with a TPH mounted implement basically for the first time ( an Universal 445DT sold as a Long445 or Allis 5045 in USA ) & running a 5 ft Rhino topper similar to a Bush Hog with a rear castor wheel. I've selected position control & set the TPH arms for a suitable height to...

I'm having trouble fitting a toplink pin (3/4") to a Universal 445 (Long 445 or Allis Chalmers 5040 in US). I've turned some pins to 3/4" on the lathe - they fit the toplink well, but I cant get them into the toplink housing on the tractor - there's no way to get a straight push on the pin to...

Just thought I'd turn up some 3/4" pins on the lathe to fit a top link to my Long 445 ready to run a bush hog & mower I'm picking up Wednesday night. Pins are great & fit the top link easy, but cannot get them into the toplink support on the tractor. There are 4 holes for the toplink pin, but I...

I have a backhoe with a subframe mount that doesn't suit the tractor I've bought - Long (Universal) 445 DT. I was going to mount it on the TPH, but my tractor has a good quick release FEloader on it (See picture attached) & the brackets & rails for this are really meaty, like 3"X3/8" angle plus...

Should the TPH arms power down as well as up on the Long 445? Mine lift fine, but won't come down without some weight on them. This is my first real tractor so I don't know if this is normal. If it ain't, where should I look to clean/adjust/repair?

I just bought a UTB ( Long) 445 DT (4 WD) which has a FEL with spool controls in the cab, plus a single rear hydraulic Q/D outlet. I want to run a backhoer on this, which has two hydraulic pipes marked in & out. Assuming the "in" pipe is connected to the rear outlet, where should I connect the...
