I poured concrete for nearly 20 years and was a journeyman cement mason in the 1970's and 80's. During that period, I poured and finished hundreds of swimming pool decks and patios. Most of the pool decks were either seeded exposed aggregate or Kool Deck. My opinion is the workmanship is poor...

Good day James. Yes, I will send to you in Australia. Please PM your Address. Regards, Russ

No responses, so I am offering them for free with free shipping. I really would rather send them to someone who needs them to avoid the sacrilege of throwing them out. Thank you. Russ

Hello all. I hope this is in the right forum. I have two Massey Ferguson manuals that I am parting with. See photos. These are not reprints; they are the originals and are not in the best physical condition; the owner's manual cover has separated from the book. The shop manual is scuffed...

Twice in my life, I loaned out my old Ford 4000 tractor. Twice it came back broken, so I am in the NO, NEVER loan out your tractor/equipment camp.

rScotty. Good thoughts on all of this--thank you. I actually changed out all filters prior to testing. When I replaced the fuel tank, there were no original replacements or aftermarket substitutes to be had. The new tank is coated on the inside--perhaps powder coated? The cap is wide and...

rScotty. I did replace the air filter prior to testing and will check valve clearances and do compression tests. Will check fuel flow at the injector pump. It also struck me that my dad could have erred in setting the valve timing--a tooth off? Is it possible to set the injector pump slightly...

First off, thank you all for your advice. I cleaned the screens and reinstalled with new O-rings. (The large screen was coated with gunk while the smaller one was fairly clean.) Installed a new Kubota Hydraulic oil filter and a Kubota fuel filter then new Super UDT2 oil. The old oil was...

arto. Thank you for the response and information. That sounds reasonable. In any case, I was able to straighten up the internal threads and re-install the original strainer. It was a little snug initially but went in smoothly. The other strainer on the left side of the tractor went in...

Thanks JWR. I'm certain the threads are the same; the original strainer will not thread back in either. It was easily removed. What apparently happened was metal shavings that had collected in the strainer dropped off in the threaded hole in the transmission case. My plan today is to use a...

Apologies. I should have been more clear. These are the internal filter/strainers. I now have thread gauges. It is closest to 1.75 metric pitch but not a match. Interestingly, an American 14 TPI gauge fits very well. The size is very close to 3/4 inch NPT thread.

As per the thread below, I ordered new filters, oil and O-rings from Messick's and began cleaning/replacement today. When reinstalling the smaller filter/strainer, the thread jammed about three threads in. After removal and inspection, I think some metal bits from normal system wear and tear...

I never knew there was a replaceable filter under that cover! Messicks was very helpful. I ordered all of the filters, o-rings and 4 gals of genuine Kubota Super UDT oil. If the problem is in the filter/screens, this should fix it. No worries bleeding the fuel system; between my old Ford...

I agree that fuel may be an issue. Replacing the fuel filter this week. Clutch is not slipping as far as I can tell. It just bogs down (speed and mower jointly). I do have the manual for it. Best regards.

rScotty. That describes the problem pretty well. Bogging down when going uphill is a symptom. I do have the manual for the tractor and will look into it tonight. Best regards.

A little history. My dad loved gardening and used a TroyBilt roto-tiller until he just couldn't manage it anymore. He then bought a B7100HST package from a rental yard; it included a front loader, box scraper, FL850 rotary tiller and RCR48 mower attachment. The B7100HST had been...
