    Seam sealer question

    I prefer the 3M urethane sealants for automotive restoration seams. They stick well to about any surface whether primed, painted or bare metal as long as it's clean / free of grease, oil, etc., and are paintable. You can get them in squeeze or caulk gun tubes or brushable can. Spot welding...

    Kubota BX2200 won't steer correctly

    Can understand your frustration. It's unfortunate when OEM parts no longer available. Did your web search indicate an aftermarket kit that can be used? If so, suggest obtain. If your shop is a Kubota dealership they may be reluctant to use as not OEM but if you insist they will likely do it. You...

    Radiator life expectancy?

    If you have a reasonably solid copper / brass radiator from that era a good shop w a tank should be able to clean out the deposits and resolder the tank and it will last many more years.

    Best way to cut lead

    Shear likely best if you have access to one. Easily get manageable chunks and certainly won't damage cutting edge. No dust and few chips. If you choose to use a rotary or reciprocal cutting device suggest: 1) keep moist to minimize dust. 2) Use in area where children/pregnant women cannot access...

    Farmall 560 fender spacer/washer frozen (best way to remove)

    Glad you got your parts disassembled. Stubborn attachments will generally yield to getting 'cherry red' with a torch and a rapid quenching/cooling. You can often turn them loose with your fingertips. Good luck with your reassembly.

    Head condition

    You indicated 100 miles each way. It would be extra work but consider taking an extra head with you in the event there is an unrepairable crack.

    Head condition

    new Zero turn mower choices

    If that's your price point the deck would be what I would consider most important. The heavier the gauge metal the better. Avoid anything with a lighter weight stamped deck. All the forums are full of nightmare stories of cracked, broken or rusted decks on residential mowers

    New Holland 3430 - exhaust doesn’t sound right

    Unsure what engine you have in your NH, but I've got a Ford 1910 3 cyl manufactured by Shibaura. It does not sound like yours. Does your tractor seem to have full power under load? That may tell you if it's running on 2 cylinders? If so, agree low hours hopefully not mechanical but fuel-related
