    B7500 steering wheel not straight!

    I have done a search for this info, and have come up blank. I have a B7500 HST which is about three years old. Over the last three years, the steering wheel has gradually become "cockeyed". When proceeding straight, the steering wheel is now turned almost 90 degrees to one side from the...

    Traction  $13.00 + 1 hour = EXCELLENT traction on ice!!!!!

    OK, this was not my original idea, I read about it here while scanning old posts about chains, traction, and such. After attempting to deal with VERY hard packed snow and ice on our hilly, rural gravel road, I decided to get some "duo-traction" chains for my B7500HST. They arrived a couple...

    Grading  Extra weight on rear blade - yea or nea?

    Since the KK 5ft rear blade I use on my B7500 is not REAL heavy, it doesn't cut into hard packed snow and ice very well. I was kinda thinkin' some additional weight on it might help it dig in a little better. I have already tried various angles of blade presentation, but nothin' much helps so...

    Light bulb under oil pan?

    Many, many years ago, my father was convinced that putting a 100W light bulb right under the oil pan of his car every night in cold ( less than 20 degrees F) weather would keep the oil enough warmer to help the old thing start. Of course, he was also convinced that multi-vis oil was just a fad...

    Silicone spray to waterproof "El-Cheapo" switch?

    Silicone spray to waterproof \"El-Cheapo\" switch? Like many others, I have installed a rear work light on my tractor. Since the worklight I bought at "Dickey Bub" did not come with a switch, I had to find one elsewhere. I found a nice "El-Cheapo" Radio Shack rocker switch with a mounting...

    Requiem for a snake

    Having been bitten by a copperhead snake as a kid many years ago, I have never been a big snake fan. I don't try and hurt or kill them, I just avoid them. Last evening while cutting our one acre grass yard with the lawn tractor, I ran over a Prairie Kingsnake. I didn't know I had done it...

    Safe, thanks to TBN

    After ten hours on my new B7500, I had my first scary moment yesterday. Luckily, I previously read several posts concerning the situation I found myself in. Last year we had several "soil test pits" dug in preparation for our future septic field. Anyway, the backhoe operator didn't fill in...

    Toothbar installation

    I just received a new toothbar for my LA302 yesterday from Carver. Its looks to be a very well made and substantial piece of hardware As most of you probably know, I now have to drill a 3/4 inch hole in each side of the FEL to bolt it on. My drill is an old 3/8 inch B&D VSR corded drill...

    Need an excercise program?

    Exercise program: For Those Of Us Getting On in Years I thought I would let you, my friends, in on a little secret I've found for building my arm and shoulder muscles. You might wish to adopt this regimen - 3 days a week works well. I start by standing outside behind the house and, with a 5...

    LA302 discontinued???

    I am on the verge of ordering my B7500HST with FEL and post hole digger. I was just discussing prices with my local dealer. When I asked him about the LA302 FEL, he said he was "pretty sure" it had been discontinued for the B7500 and that he had sold all of his B7500's in recent memory with...
