I have a 2600PSI 3GPM with Annovi Reverberi pump and a Honda 6.5 Engine I've had it 21 years. It gets used for something every month. Had a brass piece on the pump crack about 5 years ago. $20 and 10 minute fix. I do change the oil every couple of years. It's got to have at least 400 hours on...

@HybridVigor those are nice. I found this: Lower Link Quick Release Weld On Hook End (Cat. 1) suitable for John Deere

I put a PEH on my 790 about a year ago. I have hydraulic top, so the extra 4" is adds to the draft arms was a problem, so I modified my attachments at the top link to compensate. Everything works, but not quite as well. The PEH are also quite bulky on such a small tractor/attachment. My...

I have a 4' Frontier RC1048. I bent the blade holder shortly after I got it. I partially bent it back and tried to re-enforce it, but it just did not work out that well. Anyway, I want to replace it, but I'm concerned about just bending it again. Almost all my cutting is in the woods in rough...

I have a frontier 48". I bent the blade holder, got it bent back, now I've bent it again. I'd really rather start fresh, but don't want to buy a factory replacement because it should not have bent in the first place. I saw some on ebay that were listed by gearbox hp. Are the spline shafts that...

OK, I posted about 8 weeks ago asking about moving some sod and said I'd post pictures when I was done. ...and I know how much the peeps around here like pictures :thumbsup: I'm approaching 3 years as a tractor owner and just about to the 150 hour mark. I know that's not much, but I don't have...

I know it's "rated" 814lbs, but has any of you lifted more then that? I do have 1 shim kit installed on the hydraulics. I've got some sod pallets coming that are supposed to weight 12 - 13 hundred lbs. I have access to some rear pallet forks that can handle the weight. I just need to haul from...

I do clearing on very gullied and terraced terrain. Why don't they make the various "rough cut" system to float with the terrain? Or do they and I just don't know about it? Having to constantly look back and adjust the 3pt gives me a nech ache! Why can't they build a cutter with wheels in the...

I've never removed my FEL, but it appears that when I do it will leave the front brush guard in place with a ~1/4" x 4" flat steel across the front. Is this designed to hang weights on? It looks a little light considering the torque generated by a couple hundred pounds of weight. Obviously I...

When I got my 790 a year ago I had never owned or operated a tractor. I new a tractor would be handy, even with my little spot of land in the world ( 9 acres), but not enough for me to justify the cost. But...I wanted to build a carport, and even though a bull dozer would have worked a lot...

<<Sorry, just realised I posted in the wrong forum!>> I've got an odd problem. I suspect something in the valve. It loads the engine to go down with the loader. Up is fine, bucket movement is fine, 3pt hitch and T&T all work normal. With the engine off, going down barely moves. It just slowly...

I added the pack of shims to the hydraulic pressure regulator as described here on TBN. In the past the loader struggled to lift a heaping bucket of moist GA red dirt (it's heavy like clay). Unfortunatly I don't have a measurement of the "before" capacity, but today I was unloading bags of...

When I grow up I want to be like Mech! I got my power beyond kit installed. I have the same valve as Mech and I have a center link cylinder from C&C. Now I've got to start getting it all together. So, to connect my valve to the PB; Are the quick connectors some sort of standard that any shop...

From what I've read the Markham toothbars are extreemly well liked around here, but I think few have the John Deere also. The JD is $320 plus tax for my bucket (300 loader on JD790). Seems someone here had gotten the Markham for $289 plus shipping. I'm about 400 miles from Denton NC, so not...

I'm considering adding a grapple to my bucket and checked on the PB kit to do that. They want $225 for the PB and another $165 for some sort of rear quick release kit. Is this kit just some hoses, couplings and a metal plate to mount to the rear of the tractor? Do I need it? Or can I come...
