      EMT electrical conduit is somewhere between schedule 40 pipe and exhaust tubing but your bending radius is going to be restricted to that of schedule 40 pipe.

      If you want something that will last forever, I suggest using plain black steel butt-weld short radius elbows.

        The pipe size isn’t critical as long as it isn’t more that 1/8″ smaller. Muffler shops will have pipe expanders to compensate for the metric pipe size. I found a regular elbow that fit perfectly over the metric pipe with just a little persuasion.

          I would just take the old one to a muffler/exhaust pipe shop. They can duplicate it and use your old flange.

            These are just examples. These types of oils are available from many different brands.

            But generally speaking, a good 40w non-detergent motor oil should work fine.

              It has not always been this way. It started last fall and I am just getting back to it. i have about 500 hours on the tractor. To be honest I don’t remember the last thing I did before it started raising very slowly. I will try a few of the things Piper mentioned and report back.

              Also, the questions that Tinbender asked are as important.

                Is this a recent development, or has it always been this way?

                How many hours on the tractor?

                What was the last thing you did with the tractor before this happened?

                  That’s because you don’t have kingpin steering. Your trailer steering is similar to a car. Basically, your trailer is double jointed. Backing it is the same as backing a set of semi doubles.

                    P.S. That’s why you can’t be sayin’ Good Bye, at least on this site!

                    Nope, not leaving here. Hahahaha. Just got too much going on to maintain that page.

                    Wouldn’t that also make a good chicken tractor?

                      That’s an old silage/forage wagon. Maybe a John Deere? My guess is the cable is attached to the hydraulic cylinder.

                        Very smart with the hydronic heating imo. Is this a steel building? I don’t see where sill plates would go. Are your trusses engineered for load bearing in addition to snow and wind? Unless they are I wouldn’t do that.
