Lock and Lube makes the Grease Buster. You load it with penetrating oil put it on the zerk and hit it with a hammer. I rattle on mine lightly with my air chisel this works. Best if you soak the pin on the sides and thru the zerk hole for a day or two. I have also just kept using the buster then...

Sounds like you might have air getting into the fuel system. Make sure bleeder valve is closed. Is the primer bulb soft or collapsed? It should get hard with only a squeeze or 2 if there is no air in the system. When you bleed the filter does bubbles come out around the bleed screw? It could...

Did the glow plugs come out all intact? Ie tip not broke off. If the tip broke off it could be stuck in the valve. Do a compression test or leak down test or pull the valve cover and check the valve lash. Let us know what you found on this issue!

Perform a compression test on the engine to see if it is in spec. If you have 1 or more low cylinders pull the head and make sure all the pistons come up the same amount from the top of the bore. If they do not you must have bent rods or damaged pistons.

While it was sitting had it been raining? What shape is the exhaust system in? Was there a cover on it? What color is the water that comes out when you pull the oil drain plug? What color is the eng coolant? Are they the same?

Is the coolant level going down? Let it set for a few days crack the oil drain plug and note the color of what comes out does it match the coolant color? Could be condensation depending on the weather where you are. Drain oil get a rad test setup and see if coolant is getting in the oil pan...

I won a Borroughs BT-33-73F belt tension gauge on HI Bid for 22.50 plus shipping that wasn't much. It is the same as the one that comes in the belt kits or a OTC 6673 and cost way less. Google search to see what you can find. You could see what your local Auto Parts stores have. Some will loan...

Did you check that the glow plugs are getting the right voltage to them? Check on how long they are energized. Could have a wiring or timer or relay issue.

You should not be able to blow back into the tank as there is a check in the pickup or you should not hear bubbling in the tank if your system is OK!

Remove fuel cap remove line going in to primer bulb blow lightly in to line an listen do not use compressed air unless you use a regulator to get it down to less than 5psi or you could hurt the pickup assembly. You can blow in the line with or mouth. I use a old propane reg off of a BBQ grill...

Check all your hyd filters and strainers, cut them open. Could be plugging up causing pump cavitation low flow to the left side.

Try Googling skid steer parts. When I did it there are many places that sell new and used parts. They cost less than BC

Just jack up one side an try to rotate the front wheel back and forth and then the back wheel and since the free play in the chains there should be some. but not to much I think the manual tells you or ask here. The amount of slack will depend on the # of hrs. how hard of work it had been doing...
