My Remote and TnT Install on L3400 - Page 4

stimpee · 05-09-2008, 10:51 PM

Thanks for the help, I have actually been doing some searching over the past hour or so, and read most/all of what you just retyped in some of the other threads you guys have been putting together recently! Sorry!

In any case, I have to decide when I want to do this. I am not sure I need top and tilt right now, but I am thinking about getting a box blade, where it would be nice to have. Also, having a blade angle control for my rear blade (which would require some welding a cylinder on the blade) would be really nice for snow, etc.

Trying to decide what to do, and when to do it!

I think I may add some aux clamp-on lights to the ROPs first, but this might follow soon after.

Thanks,
Steve

Talk about bad luck...

Got the extension bracket made last week. Had to paint it of course to match ROPS grey. Then I realised that I had to grind the eyelet on the hydraulic cylinder as the bracket was just a couple mm too narrow - the eyelet barely fit into the OEM bracket.

That called for the purchase of an angle grinder

which was on sale.

FINALLY got the thing ground down, installed today spent a hour or so box blading .... yay! I really can't imagine doing this without a hydrualic top link.

Stopped to show off my cool TnT to my neighbour and noticed a leak (CaCl2 and water) coming out around the valve....argh. Tried replacing the valve core - no luck. Its the valve or tube itself.

Need service call to tire guy ASAP. It's the long weekend here and I'd really like to get some tractoring in. Tire guy's message says that he is off for the long weekend and will be back on tuesday

While whining about my bad luck to my wife, she informs me that the 600 ft fence really needs painting and she needs help in the garden and since I can't be tractoring, I might as well help her.

Not sure my luck is getting any better.

LOL!

Sorry to hear that... Maybe you can pump the tractor up and it'll hold air for an hour or so?

What long weekend is it there?

It's Victoria day. We never quite got our 'independence' you see

I might have just pumped it up if my tires weren't ballasted but I'd rather not loose much fluid.
