    I’ve come across the Ag talk forum, I’d guess there’s more helpful information here.

    Only saying that because I know farmers in Missouri, and they’re often stunned that equipment doesn’t work after 2 years neglected in the field.

    There’s definitely some differences in farmers and “truckers” or should I say, folks who know how to drive and maintain their own trucks. That said, I’ve seen some similarities. Alot of farmers are very particular and those that are treat their trucks and trailers the same. I know some farmers who are some rough mfer’s too. There’s some #### sharp folks, when it comes to turning wrenches, on both sites. You gotta be pretty diverse, when on the farm. You or whoever you learned from gotta know some tough times, to be married to a toolbox and kinda take pride in it. It’s just kinda the only way you know to do it, cause I can’t just have someone hired to do everything.

    there’s a couple really good Detroit guys on there which is why I posted, usually some good knowledge for diagnosing farm trucks that don’t run every day, which mine are farm trucks but I run them a lot more than an average farm lol

    Spray the boost sensor bolts good with PB or WD and let them soak, before trying to remove them. They’re known for snapping off easily.
