    Diesel Fuel Leaking Into Engine Oil

    I guess it depends what engine you have and which injection pump is on it, but some injection pumps have a crankcase where the bottom end is lubricated by engine oil, so there is an inlet and outlet for engine oil. When there is a seal out in the wrong/right place, diesel fuel can get into the...

    Trucks & Trailers 13 speed vs 10 vs 15 vs 18 ????

    The industry seems to be going with auto-shift, which is not fully automatic. Before this became popular, the industry was mostly 10's, super 10's and 9 speeds. I prefer a 13 speed over anyting, but an 18 can be nice to have for the bottom low side.

    How To Open Oil Drum

    Rotary cutter

    It can be a real pain if it's 3 point hitch. I usually have a jack and a couple blocks to do the job alone. We also have a draw bar hitch bush hog that is real simple. Just a tongue and a hitch pin.

    How Tall Is A Semi Truck

    Norm W is correct, if he's talking about the max height that a van trailer can be out on the highway, without oversize permits. Most tractors (road) are not 13'-6" by themselves, but the exhaust stack is what you need to be concerned with.

    How To Adjust A Clutch On A Semi

    If it has a clutch brake in it, it should only be pushed to the floor when sitting still. If it was pushed to the floor while in motion, the clutch brake is more than likely toast. All non-synchronized transmissions will grind while attempting to put in gear when sitting still, that's just the...

    How Many Pounds In A Half Ton

    It is meant by half-ton that the load capacity is 1000 lbs. Towing is a whole different critter. We've pulled kicker hay wagons fully loaded behind half-ton pickups with no issues, so I guess it depends on what you're going to do specifically.

    What are the options for retiring an older tractor?

    I guess it depends on what you mean by retiring it. Putting new tires on it? Get it? Re-tiring it. HaHa, yeah pretty lame, I know.
