    I bought a 1999 International (dt466e) 4900 flatbed fire truck for farm work. Two questions.

    To say I love this truck is an understatement. She sat in a garage in Ohio for years. With 62,000 original miles and a 6 speed manual, I expect to will this to my kids! Two questions: First, the brake sensor light is on but air pressure on the gauge is fine (120 psi, steady). I'm guessing a...

    My Auction TL8 track steer - The saga continues...and what to do now?

    For a little history, bought a TL8 from a cattle operation in SC via auction 4 months ago. Listing had 3 photos, said the hours were unreadable (screen not working), starts, runs and operates but smokes badly. I got a good deal IMO, even if she needs a full rebuild. Sure enough, she runs great...

    TL8 - Need a service / parts manual for the Kubota V3307 motor

    The internet has now consumed hours of mine trying to find a service manual and parts diagram for this motor. I did find one for a Jacobsen mower (I think) but so far the parts numbers don't match up https://www.jacobsen.com/manuals/4372608_616_a.pdf So if anyone has an engine service manual...

    Buying guidance for a transfer tank? Need diesel on the farm in bulk

    Tractor Supply and our Co-Op have steel options but I've seen some big aluminum tanks on auction, too. We need a better diesel option on the farm than back and forth to the co-op. So what should I be looking for in buying a transfer tank? I'm looking at storing 250-500 gallons max. Thanks...

    Oil grades. Can I adjust the OEM requirements to make bulk oil purchase a reality?

    Good morning, y'all. I"ve got a Takeuchi skid steer (10w-30), a large NH TS110 tractor (15w-40) and a NH backhoe LB75b (15w-40). Standardizing engine oil on the farm would be a big benefit and buying a 55 gallon drum of engine oil would save some money. But what are the rules regarding OEM oil...

    Takeuchi TL8 - Screen / Display is blank. Fuse or _____?

    Hey there. Put in a new battery and she's up and running. Still no idea why I'm getting white smoke intermittently but with the dead screen, I can't see any alerts, hours, DPF status, etc. I've check every fuse I can find and all are good. Does anyone know how the screen is powered? What might...

    NH Lb75.b Sticky Throttle

    My 2004 has been running well on the whole, with a periodic sticky throttle. Pulling the pedal back typically solved it but a few times I'd have to open the engine panel and pull the linkage back to idle. I made a mental note to tackle that later... but like so much of life, repairing one small...

    2004 NH Backhoe LB75.b - Weak hydraulics, no steering - Is it the pump?

    Hey y'all. New to me NH backhoe. Runs and drives perfectly, except for the steering, which is like wrestling a bear. Hydraulics will create a tiny bit of pressure, rolling the loader bucket up, and about 6" of movement in the Extendahoe up and down. That's the good news, NO lifting of loader, no...
