[QUOTE=Nottoold;200129] Where can you buy engine oil for $6 per gallon? [/QUOTE]

He did say "... cheap generic 15w-40 oil that's about $6 a gallon."

Without even getting into sales or discounts cheap stuff at TSC is only $7.6 / gallon in 5 gallon pails.

Best of luck.

In honour of St. Paddy's Day, AND this being a tractor group......

A Texan rancher goes on vacation to Ireland and meets a local farmer.

The Texan says: "It would take me a whole day to drive one of my tractors from one side of my ranch to the other."

The Irish farmer says: "Ah sure, I know, sir. We have a few John Deere tractors over here too."

[QUOTE=jobone;200013] That loader mounter front blower looks neat but must be very pricey and it looks like the setup is signicant enough to make a just snow setup. [/QUOTE]

I've built a few hydraulic drive snowblowers over the years. While the cost can be much higher it doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be more complicated than any other QT loader implement and 3pth mounted implement either.

For loaders I run a 3pth power pack (reservoir & pump) with QC lines to the blower, the bower just has a hyd. motor powering the input shaft instead of the typical shaft drive.

The biggest issue is the parasitic losses, on a typical reservoir to pump to lines to motor back to reservoir setup you can expect to lose about 1/3rd the input horsepower. That means if you have (for example) a 24hp (at the PTO) tractor you would lose about 8hp and only get about 24hp at the blower.

One of the limits of a CUT is that there isn't a lot of 'extra' horsepower to throw away.

Best of luck.

Fuel filters certainly do clog up, but they rarely clean themselves. It is possible that you got some bad fuel and have ice / wax / gelled fuel issues, but normally those go away or at least get a lot better as the machine warms up and things melt.

Changing fuel lines is a (fairly) cheap and easy place to start. Just measure up how much you need of what size and buy that much from your local parts store. Unless you do a lot of engine work leftover line will just age and harden until you need it and it's gone bad. LOL.

Best of luck.

If the oil you drained out was fairly clean and not full of particles you'll be fine.
The screen is just there to catch chunks before they get into the pump.

When we drain units we use a filter with a mesh screen trap in it and have a look at what came out before we refill the unit. We also use a filter cutter to open each used filter and inspect the filter media for any signs of trouble.

Best of luck.

Welcome to our little corner of the interwebs!!

Quick Hitch ((QH) units are great, if the implement you're trying to hitch up to is compatible. In a nutshell here's my issue with them. The 3 connection points on most implement are in a vertical plane. In order to snag all 3 with the QH they must be exactly the same spacing as the hooks on the QH. Very few are. The upper point also needs to spaced such that you can get the hook to go in. It rarely happens. Finally the vertical plane of the hitch must be exactly the same as the 3pth of the implement or the upper hook is too far for / aft.

From my perspective the quick hitch arm ends for the lower lift arms are far superior from an ease of use point of view. Combined with a hydraulic top link it makes switching implements a breeze.

Best of luck.

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.

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.

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.
