WD-40 is worthless for long term corrosion Protection. I use ACF50. We use it on the helicopters and it stops corrosion long term and is a great lube also Spray a good penetrate oil on and in it and let it sit for a day or two. Repeat the spray a few times during that time. Then see if it...

Yea Kubota is proud of their parts. I damaged the one on my tractor and the price of a new one was insane. Luckily the local radiator shop fixed it up like new. Glad yours is up and running

Step back and take a deep breath. Maybe even a day or two. Start one wire at a time and check entire wire. Each and every single one. Relays and solenoid, etc. The wiring is old and most certainly has corrosion, even Underneath the insulation. Maybe ones busted inside but looks just fine...

You were lucky.

I would not be interested in those unless the price was free. Love the colors, but the design isn’t the best. Time for OD Canvas seat covers.

Anything for sale, post in the classifieds

It’s probably the angle of the trailer in relationship to the tow vehicle.

It’s a very heavy trailer and built like a tank. When I had my M925A2, it handled my M989A1 decently enough. Just had to watch tight turns. It didn’t have the tongue extension and they would barely make contact with each other in a tight turn.

At least you will have a truck that can handle that trailer without problems.

Maybe the starter isn’t getting enough juice to fully engage?

I had a similar issue. ( I never manually rotated engine though). Problem was the starter switch on top of the steering column. One contact had gotten hot enough and melted the plastic, causing the intermittent issue. When the plastic melted, the contact moved out of correct position. Then...

You definitely get what you pay for in watches. When I first arrived at my unit after flight school, I flew with as many Vietnam Veterans as I possibly could. Learned a ton from them that still benefits me to this day. I hadn’t a clue back then about watches. My daily watch in 1989 was a...

That’s one of the problems with the 12v conversion. Your basically on your own when it comes to getting help on here.

Well you have your answer on how to measure it. Rope/string is cheap.

This is painful, and I’m not the one stranded. I thought more SS members would be in the area. I absolutely hate someone stranded like that. Agree if cash available, rent a uhaul truck and trailer. Get it home or at least to a members property. Walk away and leave it there is property...

I love the old Hamilton Military watches. Would like to have a few of the new models. Guyfang is correct. The genuine vintage military pilots watches are very pricey.

Free, usable fuel? Win Win

Is there a SS member in the area to help?

Checked tire pressure and brake fluid on both my M101A2’s. Haven’t used either one in a while. Also made sure no wasp nest hiding anywhere.

If no one is close to check the heads, you can order a Magnaflux Kit. It’s a NDT dye penetrate that will show any cracks. It’s used in Aviation everyday and works extremely well.
