    voltage regulator

    you need a dental pick or similar tool to push up the retainer on the wire side, then pull the connector out. Helps if you have 3 hands......

    L3901 - tiller options - the sequel

    Looks pretty heavy duty and already is offset. Considering you're just 'scuffing' the soil and not 'tilling full depth', I'd expect you'll be able to pass it down 1-2 generations. I've got 15+ years on my 5' Italian tiller and its in great shape,even after chewing up 1 acre of 40 year old...

    Any Easy Way to Determine Hydraulic Fluid

    FWIW... I have a similar 'toy splitter' , I use to make kindling from scrap 2by4s. Maybe use it 2-3 times a year. great tool,fun and quiet. Got a deal on prebent 5/8" rebar,something like 250-270 pieces( 5' long with 90* bend in middle ). made a 'jig' and used the splitter to 'unbend' the...

    A truck and trailer thread.

    All my CJ-5s had manual hubs, so no big deal.. but the Willys Pickup was a true off frame restoration and the hubs were nice 'oddity', just like the Ramsey dual PTO and the WARN OD unit. Had the hubs been properly maintained,they'd still be fine today. Have no problem getting fingers dirty, I...

    L35 temp and fuel gauges not working

    I googled '7 volt regulators' and this... https://murrayscarbs.com/product/7-volt-regulator/?srsltid=AfmBOorjRV2oDVooqmfHyaXQ2EADYjCuf2EEnS-xP_VfTAlxMR9-7V4b ..popped up ! For $20 it might be a good gamble... EASY to install. I don't know what it powers but should handle the 2 gauges. There...

    M8540 blower resistor alternatives

    yes, Digikey was my #1 supplier, 4 decades ago. I could order by 8PM tonight, and get the parts just after lunch tomorrow ! back then $8 for shipping + 'boarder crossing nonsense'. If I ordered same parts from 40 miles away, it's be a 3 day wait and $20 delivery fee, crazy as Thief Falls is...

    L35 temp and fuel gauges not working

    old skool...real gauges, they are slow to respond. the reason for the voltage regulator is to give a better 'response', more accurate reading. if it is kaput, you can replace with a LM317 voltage regulator, 240r resistor and a 1100r resistor.

    Looks like a clean tire puncture

    should be able to drive it 'close to road' or 'barn'. then remove and take to town. it'll be a lot cheaper than an onsite service call.

    L35 temp and fuel gauges not working

    easy to test... you can use a 6 volt battery or even a 9 volt to test the temp gauge--sensor--gnd. also use 12volts if you 'pulse' it ( on/off) say at 1 pulse per second mechanical gauges are 'tough' so usually no damage if you briefly ground the 'sensor' connection ,gauge will read 'full or...

    L35 temp and fuel gauges not working

    well the only way to prevent that would be to have a separate +7V regulator for the temp gauge. maybe take the fuel gauge off the PCB and see what's underneath it on the front side ? if you need to , you could buy a voltage regulator chip to replace the one inside the fuel gauge.

    Really smart guys

    Well the gals on the counter at the local dealership notice so hard to believe 'head office' doesn't know ! heck it's in THEIR books BTW computers keep track of everything,unlike 50 years ago when we did it all using paper and pencils ,every 1/4, 6,000 items. I might just pose the question to...

    L35 temp and fuel gauges not working

    It's internal within the 'fuel gauge'. The 'gauge' (meter) only needs 2 connections, source of power and sender. Your 'gauge' has 4 connections +12 input, ground, sensor( marked F.U) and 7V output...to temp gauge). If you measure between ground and '7V' you should get 7 volts. sure is a nice...

    BX2200 main lights not working after shortcut

    hmm, do you have the wiring diagram for the cab ? Otherwise it'll be a real 'challenge'.

    A truck and trailer thread.

    I sent the lock-o-matic hubs to Warn to fix(Lifetime WARNtee), they couldn't, so sent them back WITH a brand new 'manual' set of hubs.

    BX2200 main lights not working after shortcut

    if everything worked before you redid the cabin, I suspect a missing ground wire ( typically solid black)

    Really smart guys

    so please explain how Kubota sells a BX23S tire only for $500 AND sells the tire mounted on a rim with valve and air in it for $340. In the 1st case, it's just ONE item, a tire. In the 2nd, it's the same tire AND a steel rim and a valve stem that someone had to assemble using tools and time.

    Concrete Anchor Bolts

    My 1st concern is the damaged nut folding down your hoist ! It looked 'odd', so I copied and zoomed it up, that nut does appear to be sliced, somehow. 2. if that is the best place for the vice, make some kind of 'post' for it, and bolt to the hoist upright. I'd grab a section of 1/4by6by6 as...

    Bucket options for BH92

    Curious, so I looked on the CDN Kubota parts finder website, they list, 12-16-18-24-20 and 36" buckets and they have pinned on teeth. I'm not allowed access to the Kubota.USa website ,but I assume they have them ?

    L35 temp and fuel gauges not working

    would need to see picture of the panel as well as wiring diagram though it sounds 'old skool' + 12 to VR to gauges to sensors. so no LEDs will not be the problem. You could have lost ground to the VR, depending on type of VR used. Old style would be bimetallic controller, new will be electronic.
