Thanks fellas. There isn't much stone left on top, but what has been pushed to the sides is big, mostly 1-1.5" as a guess. I'll order some top dressing of 3/8-5/8, have the truck spread it as he dumps and smooth it out with the box blade. Some CaCl sounds good too.

Why don't the manufacturers just STAMP A NUMBER on the bolt head? This is the kind of information you can read a dozen times and not remember when needed because it's so obscure.

My comments here are pure speculation :) If there's no gasket under the oval metal piece then it was probably never designed to seal tight. That would imply that fuel under pressure is in an area where it shouldn't be, which probably means an internal leak somewhere (Diaphram, O-Ring or such inside the pump).

[QUOTE=cutter;152660] Loved the 2000 Tacoma I had, fun truck and great ground clearance. I think they made a mistake when they made them larger, too much competition out there in that size range and they gave up the advantage of a compact truck. [/QUOTE]

I absolutely agree and would rather have the earlier model. They really need to bring back the simple and rugged compact truck.

I've got a 4310 with a 430 loader and 47 backhoe and the controls seem pretty smooth so maybe something is wrong with yours. How many hours? Has it been sensitive since new? Does your dealer have another machine to compare it to?

Be sure to measure the depth of the bolt hole with a piece of stiff wire and make sure the new bolt won't bottom out.

Cable isn't available in our area so I couldn't answer that, but I have been looking at picking up a new DISH network receiver that has two tuners. We've had a single tuner DVR for a few years now and can't imagine not having that capability.

[QUOTE=DennisCTB;152539] Great idea Ken.I do send an email to new members but it is very spartan,if you have ideas of what should be in it, I can modify the one I send out.On the auto posts I am thinking of changing the subject from :"Welcome Bernie!"to something like:"New Mbr: Bernie From: Texas Equipt: Kubota B7800"Think that will be better?Dennis [/QUOTE]

If the Welcome New Member messages are restricted to the new member group there there is probably no need to change it much, but putting the location in the subject line is probably good.

As far as what the welcome email goes, if it could encourage members to contribute in areas of their particular expertise it might build some traffic. To do that you'd probably have to summarize the forum areas that are available to pique some curiosity and encourage participation.

My 4310 is about five years old now and has had no trouble. Maybe they changed composition between the 4300 and 4310.

Are you the original owner? How long did your first hood last?

Here's an unlikely idea. Is there any equipment in your shed that could generate unfriendly gases? Like a swimming pool chlorine generator, ozone generator, water purification equipment, or anything like that?

Bvance, my guess is that the blunt edge is less prone to be a source for dings that might start stress cracks. I'm curious what Murf says.

Have you tried any fuel additives to see if it changes? You might try adding a little Power Service additive.

I'm not familiar with that model but generally this might be caused by restricted hydraulic flow. Have you ever changed the fluid and filters and cleaned the screen?

[QUOTE=greg_g;152042] Well, if that was the case, I don't think they'd be called oil seals in the parts manual.//greg// [/QUOTE]

To many technical writers all seals are probably oil seals. Oil seals usually have extra lips for additional sealing power where dirt seals don't. Obviously I could be wrong but it explains what the OP is seeing.

The forks I'm buying are rated for more weight than the loader so that's OK. Loading less wood on each pallet works too. Thanks for the info.

The pto shaft should lock in place. It's entirely possible that it will work for awhile unlocked but it's not a good thing. If you look at the tractor end splines there is a grove around the circumference of the shaft. PTO shafts have a lock assembly designed to lock onto that groove, usually with a pushbutton or slip ring collar style of lock. You push the button or pull the collar back when sliding the pto shaft in place and the it should lock in solid. Keep it clean and greased and it should go pretty easy.
