    Motor oil vs. Hydraulic fluid.

    Well, The tech is supposed to come tomorrow to finish the job. I'm going to let him put the 10w-30 in it. If it doesn't work well... you can read about it in the obituaries because I'm about at my whits end with fixing this thing. Every time I think I've sorted everything out and it will be...

    Motor oil vs. Hydraulic fluid.

    Sorry, but I didn't specifically ask. You use 10w-30 and it seems to work okay for you? Thanks again.

    Motor oil vs. Hydraulic fluid.

    To be clear, you are saying 10w-30 motor oil right? I looked in the manual I have and it seems to call for CNH MAT3509, which is apparently out of production. I wish there was a consensus on this issue. Thanks for all of the replies. The tech is from CASE. I guess I'm just going to go with...

    Motor oil vs. Hydraulic fluid.

    I have a case tr320 that blew a hose to a final drive. It is on a job site, and I couldn't swing the cab up because the bucket was all the way down. Long story short, I bit the bullet and called the Case dealer and they sent out a service tech. He diagnosed it, said he had to order the hoses...

    I'm not too family with 24volt systems, but that that voltage sounds good to me. What your starter is doing is another matter. Stripped teeth and you will hear the starter and teeth grinding. When it comes to your starter, you have a system. You have the batteries and charging system (which...

    1 step forward, 3 steps back

    You won't electrocute yourself (at least I don't see how it's possible lol.) Put your meter on the battery before you start it, and then again when it's running. If you don't like the voltage when it is running, you might want to check the voltage directly at the alternator to eliminate wiring...

    That's weird. I still haven't heard back from the Kubota dealer on the 57. I went to a competing Kubota dealer to see what they had to say, and it was the same thing (they couldn't get one any time soon). Between availability, and price (when I first started I was expecting to pay ~20k less...

    Do I need an excavator for my property?

    If you were thinking about buying new, you can probably forget about it for the near future, at least that's been my experience.

    The best way to switch to this career?

    This is not advice, just an idea, but if you wanted to throw money at a school, you could consider getting a class A cdl.

    Ugh, i went around yesterday and talked to some people. Kubota said I probably won't get a 57 this year, and by the time they can get me one the price will go up (I talked to them months ago, and got put on a list. At the time I told them I wasnt ready. I hadn't heard anything from them in a...

    I can't pay cash for anything that I want to buy. I've paid cash for used equipment, if I buy one more piece of used equipment, I won't get around to any jobs, I'll just do a cycle of fixing one thing after the other and never make it to any jobs lol. I'm sure there are deals out there if you...

    I can't swing that machine, but it looks sweat. I'm jealous too. Having that aux flow would be nice, for one thing. I'm trying to swing a tb260 or a kx-057. I'm scared lol.
