The 282 diesel is a modified gas block. Same concept at a GM 350 diesel or even a 6.2/6.5 Not a true diesel by design.

Millet is popular around here when we get a July hail that wipes out a crop. Get millet in the ground and make hay. I wouldn't plant this late myself but I'm further north. May be fine down your way.

$109 at Home Depot. 29qts/ Holds 48 pop cans.

I have 16.9's on both 14" rims and 16" rims. I like the 16" rims way better myself. Same way with 18.4's. 766 has them on 18" rims and they are way better then the 1086 on 16" rims.

One thing that has not been mentioned, If you plan to have a hot wire to always keep the battery charged full then make sure you used an automotive battery, not a deep cycle marine. Automotive batteries are designed for high loads and continuous charge. A deep cycle is designed to be run down over time then charge back up, not continuous charge.

Dime a dozen around here. Ford and GM both. Not sure when Ford started using them but GM started around 07/08. The FPCM regulates the pump to control the fuel flow for optimum fuel mileage. 75% or better of our roads are dirt. Given it's location above the spare tire and being poorly sealed from the factory they go out like crazy. I use a tube of silicone to seal new ones before I install.

Stop the train, back up..... It cranks and won't fire, right? First things first, check for fuel pressure. A failed pump will not give a CEL or code. Check the fuse under the hood first. If the fuse is good then you need to determine if your pickup has a FPCM. Fuel pump control module is located remotely above the spare tire. There is a test sequence for this. If the FPCM passes then it's the pump in the tank. That will be rare. 9 out of 10 times it's the FPCM.

Isn't a 2016 still under warranty or are you over 100K with miles?

^^^ Someone will own that dealership some day.

Price must've gone up. Had a few rebuilt by my local dealer over the years. I take it off and walk in. Tech rebuilds it while I wait. Hour at the most. Bill for labor and parts was always under $100. Been 8 years since I've had one done though.

Need to find some 8 bolt hubs for mine too. Have 9.5L15 on the front now. Had 16.9-38 rears. Very well worn old deep treads. Tube finally came out the sidewall. Found some newer worn deep treads last week. 18.4-38. Started putting those on last Friday when I decided now would be a good time to fix the leaking axle seals. Waiting on parts now. Spose I better move the fenders in. Can't fit my hand between. Need a PTO rebuild also.

Hard lesson, learn from it, move on. Contractor keeps operating like that he won't be for much longer.

Bought a new 46" tractor in 2011. Took 2 hours for a quick job, 3 hours for a complete nice job plus and hour after with the string trimmer. Bought a 54" zero turn in 2015. A quick job is now 45 min and a complete nice job is an hour and 15 min. String trimmer takes 10-15 min behind it.

Like what's been said already, oring on sleeve is most likely the culprit. As far as the tractor itself.... In good working order you'll be hard pressed to find anything better. I wouldn't be without mine. I feel they are one of the most underated tractors out there.

Foam marker so he knows where to make his next pass. Same concept as having a bar with chains on your tractor for planting when the planter doesn't have markers.
