    Recommended Equipment to Clear Land for Silvopasture Cattle Grazing

    The beef animals do the work for free. No fertilizer needed. The trick is to breaking up pasture into small blocks and moving them more often. We move our animals everyday during the growing season giving them fresh grass on every move. The grass has improved substantially.

    Does yours look the same as 710A? Here is a pic of mine. I undid the bolts and lifted the console up. The micro switch was on the bottom of the F/R lever.

    3D1. You can find some manuals and parts books on the Sierra Park Champion grader site. You might want to check the forward Reverse micro switch to see if it's working properly. You have to make sure all your grounds are good and clean and battery is giving your full 12 volts otherwise this sort...

    Truck Shop. The seal wasn't all the way into the bore on the flywheel housing. I would say it can go 2 or 3 more mm which will bring it that much closer to the engine. Probably still 10 -12 mm to the edge. Hope that's enough? Please excuse my ignorance here. When you say large housing bore do...

    Thanks Chidog. I think the last person used silicone because the cap ended up a touch deeper than the rest of the block surface. I'll just use a scraper on the old gaskets.

    I could use a hand here if you please. Not sure how to remove part #11 (end cap). All the other ones came off easy. I pried against crank lobe with bar but it doesn’t budge. Don’t want to wreck anything. Thanks
