    Republic Oil 5% Moly #1 Heavy Duty High Temp Grease

    I've been meaning to try this grease for a while and finally got around to ordering it. It looks like good thick grease that should stay in the pins well. Being #1 grade I should be okay using it here in FL. I messaged them before and was told they put protective caps on the aluminum pop top...

    Come along on two pipe wrenches

    This is brilliant. What can go wrong? I might use this someday but I would have to cover it with my leather welding apron.

    FB video on loosening a piston bolt

    Not sure how many of you are on facebook but I found this video informative. Basically they secured the rod eye, put the piston end on a support, then used another bucket to push down on the wrench to loosen the bolt. https://www.facebook.com/reel/304121275870871

    Weird charging system fail

    I ran my hoe for a few hours yesterday and when I went to restart it the battery was weak. I checked and the alternator wasn't charging. The problem wasn't hard to find or fix because the wire had just broken off the B+ terminal. The weird thing is the indicator light was still operating...

    Common Model Threads

    Funny how one day the forum fills up with threads for certain makes and models then changes to another brand later. It's like one Case thread draws 5 more then we have a JD week, then NH and so on

    NH E Series Manuals

    The recent discussions on seal kits for the E series New Hollands has renewed my interest in finding older manuals. I scored a hydraulic training set the other day. I got all excited when the index listed pages for kits but it turned out to be kits for add-ons like hammers and such. It still...

    Some Clearing Results

    Thought I would post a few pics of clearing my property. It was thick with pines, oaks, and sweetgums. I had it clear cut by a logger. My deal with him was to cut everything. He was supposed to leave it in manageable piles but left massive piles of cut down trees he didn't want and logs and...

    Bucket Dipper Bushings

    My bucket pivot has developed a lot of slop in the dipper bushings all of a sudden. Any tips on replacing these would be welcome. Not sure when or if I will tackle it but it is causing my thumb not to engage the teeth squarely and I'm afraid it's going to make something unhappy. Makes a...

    What are you doing to your hoe?

    Searched and didn't find a thread like this so decided to start one. The other day I changed the engine mounts (isolators) on my NH575E. Factory mounts were available from a couple of places but nobody showed 4 in stock. Cost would have been $43-$47 each plus shipping. I decided to go with a...

    Anit-Seize vs Grease

    Anybody ever substituted anti-seize in place of grease? A while back I packed a small grease gun with anti-seize and tried in on my stabilizer feet. They seem most prone to the grease drying up and causing me to have to work on them to get new grease in. I was greasing my hoe yesterday and...

    New To Me Diesel Storage Tank

    When I acquired my diesel generator I set up a couple of metal oil drums to store fuel in. Over a few years they started to form some surface rust inside so I switched to plastic this year. The other day I was about to fill one of my tractors and noticed a big split in the side of one of the...

    Extendahoe Thumb

    This subject comes up from time to time and I saw this video of one on a JCB. Unfortunately the link to the company is dead and the poster hasn't answered any questions since it was posted in 2010. Just thought it was a cool design idea to share.

    The Water Eliminator

    A while back we were having a discussion about water in our hydraulic oil and wondering how to remove it. Someone mentioned these Water Eliminator things and several of us jumped on board and bought some. They are made for gas but I think someone said the company also said they would work in...

    New Fuel Drums

    Got my new fueling station set up and filled. Switched from metal drums behind the generator to plastic in the barn. I will have to carry fuel to the generator but I use most of it in the tractors. Fueling those will be much easier and no more rust. The rust didn't get bad enough to contaminate...

    Replaced Hyd Tank Filler

    Got tired of my special tool NH hydraulic cap so I ordered a cap and flange from Hydro-Craft. Not sure what pressure the stock one is so I just rolled the dice and got a 3 lb model. This one is bayonet style instead of threaded. Flange was a perfect fit. I left the strainer basket out since I...

    Overheated

    I overheated mine today. Was working it fairly hard pushing up brush in 4WD low. Outside temp in the low 70s. Hope it isn't hurt. I let it cool down a while and drove it to the barn. It never came off hot. I have worked it this hard in much hotter weather and it never got much over 3/4. Didn't...

    Yep, it's all three.

    Case 580 EV

    Has this been posted and discussed before? They said the production version will have the same paint and color scheme as the diesel. That was the deal killer for me. If I can't have the leather wheel and metallic orange paint I'm out.
