As already said, clean or replace anything necessary between tank and engine. If your tank has junk it in, your wasting your time with everything else - it will immediately get dirty again. We had a guy drain our fuel tank, clean it, and change all filters. Ran various treatments and injector...

Surely you guys have contacted somebody online "selling" equipment and they have a $20k machine for $6000 - too good to be true deals. I contacted somebody about one, got the poorly written responses, and asked for an invoice. This is what they sent me - - - trying to play eBay yet wanting me to...

Looking at this "Thumb" http://www.greens-machine.com/ and the grapple at http://www.wildkatattachments.com/econo_grapples.htm doesn't look to heavy or heavy duty, perfect since I won't use it much. Thoughts?

I have a Bobcat 743 and two of my front rubber hydro lines have dry-rotted and begun to leak. They are the short ones that control the bucket movement. I have scoured the internet looking but cannot find our figure out how to release all pressure in the system to take off and replace the lines...
