    I like this thing without the hoses. I will look for a 3 x 8'' cylinder. I was hoping to cut hay yesterday, but now I have the morning to find a cylinder and be legit.

    Best Tractors

    For what it's worth, I have a 26hp Kubota which I bought to replace a 30HP JD. It's a much smaller tractor than the JD.

    I've heard them all now! (trespass excuse)

    I always have a dog with me. I let the dog do the talking and then I call him away. I can be nice and the trespasser can ponder why I let the dog carry on.

    2030 oil cooler hose

    jim, thank you. Yes, what I'm calling the oil cooler is the hydraulic cooler, as you say. I don't think I have an oil cooler. I did pick up the service manual and the owner's manual. They are helpful, fer sure.

    2030 oil cooler hose

    Is the hydraulic cooler what I am calling the oil cooler? The radiator alongside the main radiator? Can you point me toward some direction on how to flush the block?
