Can anyone suggest Branson 2810 temperature sensor crossover? I'd love to be able to find an alternative to finding/waiting for shipping/high cost of getting one from a Branson dealer? Anyone know of a "generic" one that might work? Thank you in advance.

Well howdy. My Branson 2810 has a BL10 FEL. Has always worked well. I now have a rapidly dropping (leaking down) tilt on the FEL but cannot find any evidence of any external leaks. None from cylinders and none from any of the hydraulic lines. So, any suggestions on finding the leak? The...

Well fixed it. Turns out somehow linkages had been bent a little bit (hard to see and hard to get to) but that was the issue. Thanks for the replies.

Howdy folks. My little ol' 2810 (which has been really good and tough) has a new issue. Both the PTO lever (shift from 540 to 1000) and the 4WD lever right beside it have become nearly impossible to move. My guess was "dust and rust" and I have liberally applied as much WD40 as I had on hand...

OK, I'm now if this boat also. My ignition switch has gone nuts--still works to crank, but once cranked gauges work, stop working, battery light comes on, goes off and gauges start working again, ad infinitum. So, a new switch is on the way. My question goes to the fuel shut off solenoid. It...

Thank you. :)

Howdy. In your diagram it is part #26. It is a mid 2000s model. :)

Howdy folks. It appears my shutoff solenoid is kaput. I tried a generic diesel tractor part and it quickly cooked. Any ideas or know where a Branson part might be had or any specifics for replacing with a generic? Thanks in advance.

Well howdy. Yep, I'm that guy. :)

Given that I generally call the parts of my tractor either the wrong thing (or the "old school" term) hopefully I can point to the correct thing. :confused2: My Branson is a 2810 (tough little tractor) and what I called the levelling arm on the three point appears to be stuck as all get out...

Howdy folks--anybody know of a temperature sending unit that will fit a Branson 2810? Yes, I already know I can order one from Branson for a small fortune, but if another more "available" unit will fit, I'd like to give that a try. :thumbsup:

Howdy folks, I thought I would run this by the Branson gang here since almost ALL of you have more mechanical experience/ability than I do. I tend toward horses and woodworking. :confused2: I've noticed a couple of things that I am "fixing to tackle" on my 2810. First, my temperature gauge...

I posted this about a year back, but didn't get an answer and then just got too busy to worry about it--anyhow, my 2810 works great but my tachometer seems to have given up the ghost and I don't find a wiring diagram for it. Any ideas anybody? Is there a fuse for it, perhaps a loose plug...

Anybody know off the top of your head if a Branson 2810 is electrical for the tach? I'm assuming so but don't have my manual (or tractor) handy.

Well howdy. I could use some of the expert help we have handy. My tractor is the 2810 and most of us have changed out at least ONE diesel tank already since despite making a whale of a tough and effective little tractor Branson's plastic tanks/reservoirs leave a bunch to be desired. The tanks...
