    Where Do You Buy Grease?

    I buy grease when it goes on sale with cat, the red grease I was using from tractor supply hit 5-6$ and on sale the cat blue grease was 4.50$. In my opinion on equipment grease is grease, whatever I grease a machine with isnt going to undo the neglect of the operators

    About 3 years ago I had a bad batch of hydrualic filters from napa/wix, they would leak just a little once they got warm.

    StevensLake cylinder seals

    I've been using HWParts for machine seal kits and they've been pretty good so far. Out of probably the last 40 kits ive needed additional o rings for maybe 3 cylinders either they came with a slightly off size or it was missing from the kit

    Kubota R520 Compact Wheel Loader Intermittent LOUD Engine(?) Knocking Sound When Turning

    I had a john deere loader making a similar noise and it ended up being the driveshaft slip yolk was seized and it eventually wore the front pinion out. Articulating causes the shaft to extend and retract so that could be a place to look

    Kubota R520 Compact Wheel Loader Intermittent LOUD Engine(?) Knocking Sound When Turning

    What is the model of machine? If applicable you can use the bucket to lift the front wheels off the ground and see if there's any play in the front end or spin them and see if there's any noise

    John deere 55 combine, 217 engine, starting procedure

    Have you done the test light check yet? I always start there. The next test is using jumper clips feed 12v + to the positive side of the coil and quickly ground it then disconnect it to see it make spark.
