    Changing Hydraulic filter kubota CTL SVL75-2. Filter stuck - super tight suggestions

    Well I'll say it was on tight. Not likely to get this filter off with avg filter or even really good oil filter wrenches. It took some real torque to get it off. I floated the bucket and it did not seem to be under any pressure. We ended up using a different brand of hook spanner, OMT, with...

    Changing Hydraulic filter kubota CTL SVL75-2. Filter stuck - super tight suggestions

    The hydraulic system has 3 filters 2 in tank 1 paper filter (this one). It might be on some forced recirculating cooler loop that is on a holding system or checked loop?????? The 75-3 hydraulic filter has a welded? nut on bottom of filter can. Probably had some complaints.

    Changing Hydraulic filter kubota CTL SVL75-2. Filter stuck - super tight suggestions

    ~ 2000 psi x 3.14x 1.75^2 ~ 20, 000 lbs force. Yeah, Probably not system pressure. But will relieve in case it has any residual. When I shut down I thought I giggled the controls out of habit but it’s a super easy electric or piloted ??? controls. Could not see or feel any bucket settling...

    Changing Hydraulic filter kubota CTL SVL75-2. Filter stuck - super tight suggestions

    Oh and the tank has a vent thru a filter element so don’t think it’s under pressure but will remove cap too just in case.

    Changing Hydraulic filter kubota CTL SVL75-2. Filter stuck - super tight suggestions

    Thanks. I did see a YouTube of a guy suggesting the controls wiggle for a kubota mini excavator for relieving aux pressure to plug in hoses. Watched some reviews on filter wrenches. If it comes to the base only I saw a tool called the filter Talon. The filter itself is heavy and smooth...

    Changing Hydraulic filter kubota CTL SVL75-2. Filter stuck - super tight suggestions

    I am changing the hydraulic filter on neighbor's CTL and the filter is stuck. I am suspecting I am doing something wrong. Does hydraulic system pressure need to be bled or relieved first? How would I do this? Lower arms/bucket then pull trigger on joystick to float bucket? Do I need to...

    NOS parts question. Balanced flow water pump from Peninsular

    Depends on pkg wrapping. I’ll venture if in corrosion inhibiting type paper. Lube up the seal with silicone? and spin slowly then something negligible every month in box takes off a day or 10 miles of life span.

    Pulling up trees with a chain

    Just other variations of that. They make little ditty bags with draw string closure. Put a rock in bag tie on string / light paracord to draw string then throw rock over limb. Or tie paracord around rock duct tape to secure slippage sometimes rocks have enough shape you can just package tie...

    Pulling up trees with a chain

    Pulling trees up. I have pulled many small trees up with my tractors too many to count easy peasy. I have no problem with most trees. Smaller ones are worse than the bigger ones as sometimes the small ones deglove or skin all the bark and limbs off and not pull out. Brushy type bushes tend to...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    I wouldn't expect you to fall for most things like this. Just giving my 2 cents. Email is slick Con words to get hook set. If true it would be advertised on probably on a few auction sites and sold online through a reputable auction yard. If it was a repossessed it would have been picked...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Trying to find them on Facebook searching not following link brings back a site created March 1 ??? With the 1 kubota pic and not much else. Zillow says their address sold back in 2019. Looks like a scam.

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    The website is only 2024. Address is a house? Website looks awful wordy with no substance ie names or pics of the people or documented history. Can you find them on social media with a decent history? Multiple would be better but all can be faked. Ask for something personal or semi...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Google map their address. I didn’t see any equipment on satellite view. That’s the first thing I do look to see how I’m going to find them to get my money back. If it looks made up or faked easily moved PO Box etc I don’t gamble.

    Fuel pressure gauge

    I would use snubbers on the meter sensor(s) ( each if you use (2) 1. pre filter 2. post filter I am assuming). That should help meters not bounce a lot. I would get 2 meters similar as you can ( the exact same better) That way the comparison would be more accurate. But I would think as long...

    Fuel pressure gauge

    I plumbed my electric auto meter sender at a Tee and my needle bounced a lot that I believe shortened the life of the gauge. Are you going to put a length of hose so you get a decent sized air air pocket to dampen the pulsing pressure or use a Snubber adapter of some sort?

    Pro's and Con's

    Spitballing as always. Chris, are you going to run any bumper chin dam? I think they were to try to push air down and clean airflow around the front diff and A-arms etc (to create neg pressure behind stack). Same with the plastic skid plate? Nate did something once..... back in this...

    Diesel fires?

    My son said his tiktok feed has shown a lot of fires and he asked me about it. But I haven’t seen anything personally. Saw 2-3 Videos he tried to show me looked like slant headlight gm’s the chevron light years trucks. Can’t say much only seeing a few videos of any trends.

    Rock block. Tailgate gap seal and tonneaus etc tape track?

    On testing mpg nope at least not yet. The tonneau was for the wife so I could cover all her luggage ( she packs like a Victorian princess). Comes in handy to cover beach & tailgating gear, keeps eyes outa my bed. I know it won’t stop a thief but it makes them work for it. I got this...

    Rock block. Tailgate gap seal and tonneaus etc tape track?

    Thanks, Good stuff to try. I like the bed sheet idea. I saw some pintrest or youtube people tarp below and then lay some tarp up over bed rails that is an idea too might be getting down to the last inch or so it might snag on the pitchfork. That could be a pick your poison. I have seen...

    Rock block. Tailgate gap seal and tonneaus etc tape track?

    I have a back revolver roll up tonneau. Works pretty good. But when I haul mulch it’s a pain to clean out the track. Also, my 2020 is harder to clean out the gap at tailgate. I tried blue painters tape and it kept track clean. The tape came off ok but tears easy. Anyone tried similar...
