    Running engine oil for longer than 12 months?

    Going through our yearly maintenance on all our trucks and equipment, and with oil getting expensive/hard to find its got me thinking. I have a combine, dump truck, skid steer, and some other items that add up to about 20 gallons of oil. Most of these engines are only seeing 50-60 hours a year...

    Use a 12v fuel pump for gear/hydraulic oil?

    Need to service our L8000 dump truck and some other equipment that don't have enough room to pour fluid in, and some of the transmissions/gearboxes take 4-5 gallons a piece. Have about 15 gallons total to do. Would a generic 12v fuel pump work to pull oil out of a bucket and pump it up into a...

    Anywhere to buy "bulk" distilled water?

    Need to do a thorough flush and refill on a tractor that holds 10 gallons of coolant. Instead of trying to buy 20+ gallon jugs of distilled water i'm curious if anybody has found a place to buy 5 or 10 gallon jugs. Or even 2.5 gallon jugs would be a lot easier to deal with.

    Ok to use TO-4 in final drives/gearboxes/chaincases?

    Sitting here digging through equipment manuals on the interwebs so i can update my service files. We have JCB, Cat, and Kubota loaders/mini-ex's. Occasionally I work on a Bobcat or Deere. The Kubota final drives call for 80w-90, pretty sure our JCB says SAE 30 engine oil although i've been using...
