Hey folks, hoping someone can steer me right here. Had a couple trees come down over the summer and my neighbor said I can have whatever he drops this fall too, so I got a pretty good pile waiting on me. Plan is to actually burn wood this winter instead of just staring at it. Been looking at splitters and I honestly don't know which way to go.

Hey all, Recently I got my hands on a 750 hour YM146. Previous owner got it from a neighbor and didn't know much about it. I got it non-running but after a while of bleeding injectors, a new battery and some cranking it now has smoke coming from the exhaust and feels like it wants to start.

A guy has to develop it on his own, and until he does, he's going to waste 1,000's of steps back and forth to the nut/bolt bin. He's also gonna end up with a... Hardware Checker

I have ( I think) about a 1974 International Backhoe loader I just purchased and would like have a service manual for the unit. I want to get started changing fluids and giving it some TLC

Wondering if anybody out there has a cub cadet EX 3200 front loader I got a log between my front axle and my tire rod and completely bent it to where I need a new one. The only one I can find is $539. I was wondering if I could get the measurements of the tie rod to see if I could find one cheaper to put on there but I can’t find the length of it anywhere, and I can’t measure mine because it’s bent
