    How would one vacuum out a diesel fuel tank?

    What model Bobcat do you have? Can make a huge difference in approaching it.Some have a fairly easy tank to remove,some have an extremely dificult tank to remove,and some are part of the chassis and can't be removed at all.I've welded new bottoms in two of those.

    Another cub 154 low boy question

    Duner,I can't access that bolt like that,the clutch brake is in the way.And,I can't remove that without removing the flywheel.Is yours earlier without the clutch brake? Or,did somebody in the past throw it away? That has been known to happen.At the Farmall dealer here in town some of the guys...

    Another cub 154 low boy question

    I've done a lot of work on those things over the years.I just did a clutch in one a few weeks ago.I had to remove that second flywheel to replace the pucks in the clutch brake.You just can't quite get the space needed to take them out with that flywheel in the way.With it all apart get...

    Fuel cans that are easy to use

    My old one like that from the 70's actually has two sets of lugs to engage the tank opening.one pair are for a much larger opening in a tank.I have never once come across a tank they would fit into,but have been told there was a lot of military stuff made they would fit.

    Fuel cans that are easy to use

    I have a little battery powered pump from HF,but it is for little stuff,not tractors and such.I still use a hand crank pump on a tank for diesel in the bigger stuff.That little hand held thing is great for filling the mowers,trimmers,splitter,etc.I can set the can on the running board of the...

    Fuel cans that are easy to use

    Ray,those 1/4 turn 8 quart funnels are still being made.I don't like the one Tractor Supply sells though.But,Plews still makes them,and that is the kind I bought in the early 80's,and still use it.It has always always been good for any of my stuff with the fillers on the top.Twist the funnel...

    Got at Gas Station

    Hockey was big here in the 70's,and one brand station would give you a mug after a certain number of fillups.Like a beer mug though,not a coffee mug.Different teams,so the idea was to collect them all.They were really nice mugs too.One brand would clap a pair of plastic/magnet horseshoes on your...

    Cub 154 low boy

    I forgot to mention that.I go there first,and if they don't carry or make it they are happy to tell you who does carry it.I did some work on one I've been tinkering on since 1976,and had to buy a new driveshaft.There is a long and a short,and they didn't carry the one I needed.They sent me to...

    Cub 154 low boy

    You do need to use the voltage regulator for the starter generator.There are lots of regulators that look the same,but won't work.Sounds like something fried when it shorted.There is a testing procedure to follow,and can isolate the problem components.Get the book and follow the steps.Weak...

    John Deere 440 vs 1010 crawler dozer

    I have 350 track chains on my 1010.I put them on in the late 80's,and had them pinned and bushed once since.The two cylinder crawler rollers fit the 1010 too.(except for the MC).You can buy sprocket rings in whatever size you want,to weld to your own centers.I believe I got them from Berco.I...

    Skidsteer advice

    If you've never served much time in skidsteers the controls won't make much difference to you.You will be learning starting at ground zero.I first sat on a Bobcat at about 14,so the first skidsteer I bought for myself was a Bobcat.I have been using them ever since.I bought a couple of Cases,as I...

    What is this

    Dad bought it for that,and used it for around 50 years.He used different methods for making the regular cuts,That was used for trimming in tight little corners.I used it three years ago when I built my own counter.I had to nibble the formica to fit around a chimney black.Years ago he would cut...

    What is this

    Bernzcutter. Used for nibbling formica.I have one my dad had in his formica toolbox for probably 50 years.I don't think I ever saw one marked metal though.

    Band sawmill

    For the most part mills here won't touch logs from a tree service.Most come from either roadsides or from around homes.A friend would take some,but would not touch the first 8 or 10 feet of trunk.That's mostly where the iron will be.I've seen a steady stream of light sparks fly from a clean...

    Band sawmill

    There seems to be no bargains on used bandmills here.A friend bought a used Timberking at a good price because rumor had it they were not that good of a mill.15-20 years later he has yet to find fault with it.I believe it is Kubota powered.A friend that passed a couple of years ago bought a new...
