    Bears - Wolves - Alligators

    I live just west of Richmond. Last summer I went hiking in the Shenandoah National Park for several hours. Did not see one bear, but driving home near my house I rounded a curve and suddenly had to brake for a bear in the middle of the road. One one side of the road were woods, on the other side...

    Case 530 triple range gear oil & hydraulic fluid

    Case recommends Hi-Tran or equivalent. Keep in mind the range or shuttle section also serves as your hydraulic reservoir. I use the NAPA equivalent.

    Is there a decent way to get this tire off a bad rim?

    That bead breaker hammer isn't all that friendly. I got something called a "little buddy" from Norther Tool several years ago. Three flat fingers you drive in between the bead and the rim. Then you clam the fingers in place and turn a bolt with a wrench. The screw drives two fingers down...

    How does the HP change?

    Same for the Case 430 (30HP), 530 (42HP) and 630 (49HP). All use the 188 ci engine, just different adjustment to the injector pump.
