Added Benefits to DIY 50 hr service

Very impressive work on your pallet forks and bucket hooks.

I just did my 50 hour on my B3200 and my manual stated to only change engine oil, engine oil filter, and transmission filter. So, that's what I did. I didn't change the hydraulic fluid, but my rear lift line has given out twice on me, so I know the dealer has put in new fluid each time it leaked. Not a complete drain and fill, but I will follow what the manual states.

Thanx TripleR, It does help to be surrounded by lots of tool toys and good help when needed....Best thing is the cost of such projects....NADA....well I did buy the forged chain hooks and the spray paint......:laughing:

I would imagine the self satisfaction of a job well done would be pretty high up there. People that can do that sort of thing fascinate the heck out of me.

After seeing what was sticking to the magnetic drain plug on my RTV I'm glad I changed mine during 50 hr service in spite of what the manual says. Will drain front end and knuckle joints too.

Ihuntbear,

This is what I use....Clean Burn Low Profile Waste Oil Fired Furnace - CB-1750......

I'm sure there is a way to rig up something...(don't know how legal it is in your area....)

I like your name but doesn't it get mighty cold out there with nothin' on?:laughing:

Thomas,

Glad you like them............maybe I'll get a chance to use them on "Mr Big Boy"......seeing that the bucket will be too small......:laughing:

The sliding forks come from a salvaged forklift so they don't look like normal tractor setup, but they seem to work great.......last night I was messing around out back and put the forks together and they plunge the ground real well......May come in handy to uproot landscape plants/trees.....gonna give it a try later....

I know the owners manual said only clean the screen but just had to see for myself:

I also own a B2320. I have never seen or do I now see any reference in manual that the 2320 even has a screen let alone clean it. Ya got a reference to a manual page number where I can check more carefully ?
