leakage

I am coming to the end of sorting out the hydraulics on my own 590. I have found these boards and those elsewhere, along with videos, highly informative but jeepers it has been a long slog with many false leads and blind alleys. I have the official workshop manual, parts list and operator...

It was obvious it was always going to be ridiculous but we've reached the point now where it is being mocked. I'm sure we will evolve away from fossil fuels in due course, but net zero is dead. Good thing too because whether you are a climate change acolyte or not, as a policy it was absolutely...

Hi all, we're having some issues with what we think is a dead TA unit on an 885XL, but would appreciate some more knowledgeable folks' input Backstory: About 6 years ago we bought a 1990 885XL 4WD from a used machinery dealer. At the time we didn't know much about Case-IH tractors so didn't...

Looking at getting farmhouse re-wired, mostly not been touched since electric went in back in the 50s. What should i be looking at putting in these days to make it suitable for todays living?

With the last few months my water pressure has been decreasing. I have my own well by the house which also does the yard. The yard is about 300 yards from the house and is uphill. So basically the pump has to pump the water uphill. I have super pressure at the house. Then the further up the...

The boom on my manitou telehandler is not holding and assume its the check valve on the cylinder that's the problem. During normal use it does not affect anything and is only really noticeable if I park up the machine with the boom in the air and slowly it will start to drop. When I say slowly...

Been asked by a dairy farmer if I would be interested in some manure. But they want us to let them say that they have exported it to our farm. What is it worth to him per tone for me to take it with the new rules with NVZ in Wales.

Mains fencer throws the trip. Remove earth and fence cables works fine. Add in fence cable still OK. Add back earth and it trips. Hold earth off pin and it arcs like its the actual fence line. It's earthed via the RSJ of the shed. Any ideas or pointers please.

we’ve always used screw in insulators but the cattle snap them off and deer rub them off over the winter. Are the nail on ones better or is there a better solution. Poly wire and many meters and posts to sort. Be nice to do it once!
