I can relate to your issue Bob, we are in the lee of the Great Lakes get our fair share of heavy wet snow here too.

We use a variety of methods, who knows which one is best but I've always been a 'belt & suspenders' kinda guy. LOL

First, spray, It works well and for a homeowner probably the best that I've found is Pam non-stick kitchen spray. Apply it to a totally clean dry blower well in advance of snow. For a more commercial or serious application, Fluid Film spray, a little spendy but very much worth it. This is stuff we farmers use to coat things like combines. Top drawer stuff.

Spray is only a temporary band-aid kind of fix though. For a long-term fix the blower needs some mods. The rubber on the impeller is a night & day difference mod. Snow can't stick when it's exiting at a very high speed. I didn't believe in it much until I watched a demo by a local guy that used to have quite a business selling the kits. He ran a walk-behind unit with his kit on it into a puddle of water. The water shot 25' out of the blower. Then he ran the same but stock blower into the puddle, nothing but a little spit.

Blowers tend to get ignored once the sun comes out and temps start to rise. That's the time to clean them up and be sure there's no 'snags' and that the inside is all smooth painted surfaces.

Best of luck.

Nautical is correct, the B21 was only sold as a TLB (Tractor Loader Backhoe) and was a bit of a Franken-tractor.

Kubota wanted a small commercial machine and so picked & chose amongst components from various machines of that size to come up with a package which was assembled out of only the most robust pieces they could find.

Will it fit? Yes, but not without some customizing & (re)fabricating.

What part of Cannuckistan are you in there neighbour?

mbailey, I think you might have read the OP a little too quickly.

He said the driveway was wet after clearing and was afraid it would be come black ice, inferring there was no hard pack, just water.

He also said the problem wasn't rock salt caked together, it was that he mistakenly bought water softener salt instead of rock salt.

Best of luck.

The manufacturers website shows the nearest dealer to you is Vande Goor Ag Services, see details below. They are basically due north of Erie PA on the north side of Lake Erie. <br>

It sounds like one of two possibilities.

The solenoid is shot or the wiring to it needs cleaning up. I'd start with cleaning up all the connections, especially the grounds. A bad connection will limit the current and cause exactly what ou're describing.

It's more about power management and traction control these days.

My daily driver is a 600hp AWD SUV, I run very aggressive snow tires that are designed for performance vehicles. I have very little problems with traction .... until my right foot gets heavy that is. LOL

I suspect there IS a leak, you're just not looking in the right place.

The MF's run a similar system to the older Ford systems, it uses a completely segregated system with it's own separated reservoir and pump.

The most common problem is a seal in the steering column, the fluid leaks out there and drips off the bottom of the transmission. Because of where the leak is the fluid only escapes under a combination of rev's (higher volume) and steering action.

Best of luck.

Check the oil pressure switch wiring, if it's ok, then verify the switch itself is good.

If it is a remote valve, I.E. there is 2 large cables that run between the joystick and the valve block, you could have a broken wire or disconnected linkage at the valve. Everything would look normal from the joystick end.

See if you can see motion at the valve itself when you move the joystick with the engne OFF of course.

If all of that checks out the other likely cause could be a partially disconnected quick-disconnect fitting in that circuit.

Best of luck.

[QUOTE=Chief;199798] Some of us are just too stubborn to do that.(I talking about you Murf!)LOL!Hope you and family are doing well.

Dennis, the wife and I are looking at possibly building a rural farm house/shop also knowns as (aka) a Barndominium.These are rural type farm homes that are LOW maintenance but VERY practical in their design, usually incorporating the shop as part of the house. (some call them a "shouse")I like barndo.For the past year and a half, I have found myself online looking to learn as much as I can about building these homes.I see a lot of other folks doing the same.

As we head into the holiday season I send my best wishes to all and to stay safe and hopefully avoid the China Virus. [/QUOTE]

Me?? Stubborn?? When were you talking to me dear wife?? LMAO

Glad to hear you're doing well Randy.

Coincidentally I built a building along the lines of what you're talking about myself. In my case a hangar / home (we call it a 'hangar-nominium') from the below linked design but as a recreational property and as a place to house my new baby, I picked up a Robinson R22. A float-plane for commuting to the cottage was becoming problematic for a couple of reasons, firstly yahoo's with boats & PWC's take great delight in cutting off taxiing aircraft, even during takeofs & landings!!! I also didn't want to cut a runway through the forest where our new hangar-nominium is (our family hunt camp) and wanted to be able to use it during the winter when plowing prior to arrival would be a problem.

I should have done this years ago!! It's a hoot. LOL

A happy and VERY safe holiday season and winter.

Best of luck.

[QUOTE=Wishfull;199795] The Aprilaire Instructions require connection to a hot water line. Since it is a winter use heating application hot water seems to make sense. [/QUOTE]

I find it hard to believe that a humidifier could possibly use enough water to keep the water coming to the humidifier running even warm, not to mention that the water already in the humidifier will be ambient temperature too.

Truth be known it's more likely a CYA thing. By specifying a hot water connection they know that it's water that's been through any water softener and or filtration system in the house. With cold water it could be from a bypassed line such as that heading for an outdoor spigot.

Best of luck.

This is an old secret method for diagnosing glow plugs, so don't tell anyone.

Take an old school sealed beam headlight bulb. Put a length of wire and an alligator clip to one terminal of the bulb. Put a second wire on the other terminal with a bare end (I solder the end of the wire to make it stiffer and easier to probe with.

In use you put the alligator clip to the negative battery terminal. Now touch the bare wire to the positive terminal and not the brightness of the bulb. Now Touch the bare wire to each of the glow plug wires while disconnected from the glow plug while turning the key on each time. Again, note the brightness each time, all should be consistent with each other and very close to the brightness of the light straight across the battery. Any dim results or no light you have a wiring issue.

Now to test the glow plugs themselves, put the alligator clip to the positive battery terminal and touch the bare lead to each glow plug one after the other (key off for this) and again note the brightness. All should be equal or really close to it.

Best of luck.

Have you checked that the rad itself is clean and air can flow freely through it?

Beyond that have you actually verified that it really is running hot with a thermometer? I've seen gauges go off after an over heat situtation before.

It's 4 wheel drive Art, but all 4 are at the back. LOL

Lot's of Belarus and Zetor tractors are 2WD units.

They use them like trucks too so they have synchromesh transmissions, brake lights an turn signals too.

Heavy solid beasts, probably the reason for duals.

[QUOTE=Dirtman941;199742]Sometimes it will start moving after I get off. Has anyone ever had this happen? [/QUOTE]

I hate to sound like a wise-guy, but in every operator's manual I've ever read there is a warning.

In the case of a TC40 it can be found in the very front of the manual under the heading "Safety - Precautionary Statements", under the subtitle "Operating the Tractor" it says "5. Before getting off the tractor, disengage the PTO, turn the engine off, and apply the parking brake...."

Especially on a hydro-drive unit the parking brake is an important feature that I rarely see used. This is exactly the reason it's so important.

Best of luck.

Depending where you are in So. Cali you might not need them often, but likely you will need them.

The glow plug light staying on is a well known issue, it's the glow plug relay, it's not an expensive or difficult fix to swap out the relay. The problem is it usually means it's ebergized the glow plugs with the engine running and likely burnt them out by now.

Best of luck.
