    Any Reason to Plumb Hydraulics as Double Acting

    Just pulled a IH disk and a Harrogator out of a fence row this weekend. All the hydraulic hoses are pretty poor. Is there any reason to plumb these as double acting with two hoses or am I fine just venting the rod size and running a single hose?

    Thanks for that! Definitely lots cheaper than all the local places I called. I ordered 3 hoses for the price of one locally!

    Thats what I was thinking. Hydraulic hoses have gotten pretty expensive!

    Exhaust manifold exhaust pipe threads

    Did that this spring on my 706. Used the cheapest 2 npt tap I could find on Amazon. Worked just fine.

    Cylinder Wall Scoring

    How critical is a little bit of cylinder wall scoring? I have a little 2 cylinder Mitsubishi diesel that I got non-running. After some tinkering, it ran fairly well but was terribly hard to start and had awful blow-by. Tested compression and cylinder 2 had acceptable pressure, cylinder 1 was...

    Cylinder Wall Scoring

    Appreciate the advice Vet. Sounds like $200 and only a week turn around to bore it out. Rest of the hard parts are ~$800. Machine work is probably money well spent in the long run

    Cylinder Wall Scoring

    Oversized pistons are available and I have to buy new pistons anyways Im thinking the cracked piston was the biggest issue with compression. But looking for some BTDT opinions.

    Flipping Tractors for Profit?

    I agree with all the previous comments. Its very hard to buy cheap tractors that dont require more parts than they are worth. If considering flipping equipment, the money to be had is in small farm implements, especially tailored for horse people and people with 5 acres.

    Farmall 560 Diesel

    I bought some of the DieselRX glow plugs this spring for my D282 706. Less than 10sec on the glowplugs and she fires right off in less than a full rotation. 5500hrs and starts awesome! Do you have a glowplug meter on the tractor and does it peg the meter when holding the button?

    Stuck 706 3pt leveling arm

    I was just trying to loosen them initially, until the first one broke it was the roll pin. Thanks! Wish the parts diagram showed the pin

    Stuck 706 3pt leveling arm

    Ok, I have to be missing something. Both lower lift arm adjusters were pretty stuck. The left one broke off pretty quick. The right one was moving before it broke off I have to be missing something pretty obvious? Guess Im into a pretty expensive lesson even after moving out several inches...

    Verifying Oil Pressure

    On and off Ive been working on my wifes grandpas Mitsubishi Satoh Beaver tractor. Its a cute little 2 cylinder diesel. Its been sitting for 20 years and I just now got it running for 15 seconds or so before letting it die. Problem is the oil idiot light stayed on. I figure itll take a little...

    Verifying Oil Pressure

    Thanks for the comment and the email. Ill be checking out the forum link you sent. It has fresh oil. I unplugged the sender unit wire and the light comes on and off as expected. Then I cracked the new oil filter loose and it was bone dry. Hoping that it just needs a little more run time since...
