The cotter-pin-in-the-hole is an old Ford ”better idea”….. the cotter “jiggles” with vibration and running-around and keeps the drain hole clear so that condensation etc can drip out.

I wonder ….If the rotting-floor issues …. are primarily the result of operations in “salted” or otherwise treated ground…?? I ask because my 2014 X900 still has it’s floor-mat installed over the sheet-metal flooring…and, other than occasional rinsiing/power-washing….it has not been subjected to...

”talked down to”… Really? You can’t see the corollary…? Sorry…. DIdn’t mean to try to help you… :rolleyes:

Regardless of what type torque-wrench is used….the TECHNIQUE of its use is Paramount for accuracy. Whenever I go to the Tire Store I was those guys dutifully grab a torque-wrench and set the “clicker” on the specified torque for that particular vehicle….. then they “lunge” upon the wrench which...

Nice work!

The original lift arms on my M4700 were standard…with the usual contortions needed whenever 3-pt implements were needed to be changed. I’ve finally made things easier by finding out that Kubota sells a “telescoping lift arm kit” for an MX4800 which is a perfect replacement. Much easier to...

Oil Filter Cutters are available at your favorite online store…. starting around $19.
