dtoots1. my pan has 21 holes , including 4 in vertical and17 around the perimeter. 1 extra bolt in left side of pan. A Vaughn bar/ flat bar helped do the trick for me.

well, I nickel rod welded my cracks in my pan. Didn't turn out too bad considering. used a 100 watt light bulb to preheat and postheat. Temp was almost too hot to touch when I started. Left it on after all night. Richard, there is a petcock drain on the left side of the block. When I first cracked i...

Well. Thank you for all the help. It seems the pan has been off and whom ever put it back on used somesort of epoxy resin on all the pan sealing surfaces. The engine being in the machine getting made it more of a challenge. Between using a wonder bar to get the angle up past the frame and an old woo...

Have put half a can on in last 3days. Never seen oil pan stuck like this.

Well I'VE STARTED tearing my 2010 gas engine apart. It will need MAJOR work to really go. My 1st cyl. had lots of rust. the 4th has a scar, maybe from the wrist pin.

I came across a wheeled 2010 with transmission troubles. he wants 1900 for the running tractor. I am not sure if the 3pt arms will fit other model tr...

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.engine is my real concern. Im sure I'll have other questions if this goes through. Thank you again.

I have been looking for a dozer to use on fence rows and a coworker said he has a 2010 gas crawler loader he doesn't need. long story shorter it has not ran for 6+yrs. It was shedded till a year ago when he needed the space, he tried to start it but mice had been there. He got it to spin over but it...
