    Wood chipper case line

    Case drain straight back to tank.The 75xt series did not come with case drains, even with high flow according to cnh. But the late 90xt series and almost all later models did. (435, 440, 445, 450, 465)

    Replace light bulbs in 4-way flasher without changing entire assembly?

    Pretty much any truck shop, or Gregg's, napa, traction, fort Garry industries. They will all have access to grote, which aren't a cheap brand regardless.

    Tracks versus wheels for snow work?

    We generally get fluffy snow and tons of sub zero temps. I'm 50/50 tires vs tracks depending on situation. Case 450 series III (10,000 lbs) with studded Toyo M55s grips to no end on packed snow & ice. ASV RT75 Max with 20" snow tracks will out push on fresh or crunchy snow where mobility and...

    cold weather starting issues

    Not much of a Kubota guy, but hard starting at the temps you state, I'd suspect injection or engine issues. Could be as simple as a dying starter, injection timing , injectors or valve clearances or major like worn out piston rings. Food for thought. I fired up yesterday -35*C. Not plugged in...

    S250 relay/ fuse box rebuild

    If I recall correctly, they should be Metripac (now Aptive) 280 "tangless" terminals.

    LS 180 still starting hard after head rebuild and top end refresh

    Sounds familiar, although I did not have any hard starting. Being an ivenco 332T engine, it may be as simple as an injection timing advance of 1 or 2 degrees. Read my thread. If it applies to your situation, great...

    Hydraulic oil recommendation

    My annual hydraulic maintenance simply attempts to keep the fluid skewed to my standard hydraulic fluid type. Read up on your motor & pump manufacturer recommended fluids. Whether it's rexroth, danfoss, saurer. For all my equipment, the approved fluids are broad ranging from standard engine...

    Hydraulic oil recommendation

    It all becomes a mute point after we rent a post auger, tree spade, grapple, mower, snow blower and combine 280 different oil types from all the previous renters.

    262c LED lighting upgrade

    As to choice of brand. Many to choose from. Stick to reputable brands who advertise EMI certifications if you plan on working long days with the radio on. I've had a few that knock out the entire FM band. My worst killed the FM band for almost an entire block. Twas an angry construction site...

    Case 430 coolant

    Case used normal ethylene glycol, yellow hd diesel antifreeze. Diagnose the problem. Depending on the circumstances, flush/change coolant system, check oil, pressure test coolant system. May be a big problem internally or a simple severe lack of maintenance.
