    How exactly does the remote oil drain work on a JD 325?

    Turns out the two hex parts in the photo split after a liberal application of creep oil and even some heat with an impact! I'm not sure that the guy I bought it from maintained it as frequently as he claimed.

    1st oil change - How does the remote drain hose work?

    I'm doing the first oil change on a new to me 325 skid steer. I unscrewed the plug from the remote oil drain expecting oil to come out but there is nothing. I opened the little access door around it but can't really figure it out and everything is all rusty because it was sitting in a bunch of...

    How did you guys route your snowblower harness?

    Looking at purchasing an 873 F-Series and could use your expertise

    They're asking $11,000 for the Bobcat and forks with 2100 hours on it. I'm looking for one to push and/or blow snow on my acreage. He said he bought it a few years ago on an auction and that it's worked great for him. Does this seem like a good deal? A google search showed them going for 18k...
