Morning, could not see how to contact a web site moderator--so here's my QUESTION,,,,a lot of FORUM"S have a like button for when you read a post or response to a POST, and I find it VERY useful, a lot of people read but don't leave many response's, sometime's it's good to see X amount of people...

OK kid's well here is OL" Blue with her new make-up on, it ain't a show job, but is practical, gave her some new frt shoes also.

Morning All, I read quite a bit and decided to order a 5ft bucket teeth bar yesterday, having a 1710 4x4 my goal is to hopefully put a little less abuse on tractor while doing work with bucket, have a box blade for leveling and smoothing dirt out-so back dragging with smooth bucket edge is not a...

YEE-HAA, got Ol" Blue painted she is drying as I wright and show ya a couple pic's,,,about wed I will clear coat the fender's, hood and rim's----then back together she go's, don't ever think you'll spray a tractor in less than 2-3 hrs it's slow and tough getting every where needed.

Morning Guy's, Man this re-paint project is really being a PITA, first off I started way to early-it's still in 30-40 deg range here, I'am working in garage with no heat besides a torpedo (propane), have tractor Jacked up and wheel's,seat,hood off, been trying to CLEAN greasy area's good, can't...

Hello Ya'll, I started doing a little sand blasting today and started on the swing arm's, and can see the ball joint's in the end of each arm (lower) are worn out, can't really tell by looking how to replace them, I see there are stub's offered that you cut off end and weld new end on (kinda...

Hello Folk's, I've spent a couple hrs looking for answer here and after looking at both manual's, my 1710 has the Hydraulic Control Valve under the front edge of seat and there is a AUXILIARY Service Port with a plug in it, and It seem's like I could--take out plug and install a HYD GAUGE right...

Hey Charlie, seem's like you will not regret your buy, I just bought my 1710 4x4 FEL 1-2-17 I HUGELEY advise spending the money on a operater manual (really helps) and repair manual-----you will kick yourself wanting answers for what seem's like dumb question's-they are not dumb if you (& me)...

Hey All, I think a box blade w/teeth is best option for my summer project, here goes I have some ground I'am clearing and leveling behind garage-very in-level. 1. using a 1710 4x4 FEL-27HP 2.4ft or 5ft box ??? 3 will I be stopped by root's if I only use 1 cutting tooth starting out ON ROOT"S...

Hey All, my 1710 has a rt spindle leak, is it a common seal or gasket that is prob the issue? looked at manual and pic is hard to see what might be leaking--or how tough of repair it is, thank's for any advise..

just put new water pump on OL Blue today, as long as you run loader all the way up and out of the way it's really not much of a job-even for a low level talent, And wow I didn't have any left over bolt's or washer's, that's REAL good for me-ha

Hey Yall, pulled hood to replace water pump-FEL leave's no room to work on frt, since I had to wait for water pump O-ring (was left out of pump shipment). figured I'd get some sanding and bondo work on nose of hood dent and re-paint it, if you look at my avatar pic it show's the original strip's...
