I'm 5'10" and I can see into the top fairly well. I usually have it against the wall in the corner. I just moved it where it is because it was a PIA to keep going back and forth for tools. They don't tip easy unless you have too many drawers open up top (which is where the heavy tools are). Had...

Here's what it looked like apart. Let me know if you have questions when you get there. Good luck.

Noticed a meaningful leak & clean fluid coming from area where friction sheath goes around hoses. disconnected boom piston to pull them out of the "through" area, cut off the sheath, degreased to find source. Now no leak!!!! How is that possible? under pressure too! Anyway, is there any reason...

I am planning on installing six bluestone steps and will need to lift them into place. They weigh about 540 lbs and I was wondering if I can lift them if I add pallet forks. I have the manual and it shows the lifting values but I don't know which one refers to what I will be doing. Any help you...

Here's the pics......the one piston looks like it's out of the bore but it's in just like the others. That's how worn the bore is. I saw no other damage. I'm inclined to replace just the pump & motor rather than the whole HST. Any thoughts?

Got the transaxle apart to replace a failed HST and thought I would ask what you guys thought I should be doing as preventive maintenence while apart. It has 522 hours on it. DO the propeller shaft joints need service? u-joints? Thanks for any input! Brian

I am looking at a 2003 BX22 TLB with 297 hours on it in good condition kept indoors by a homeowner. He wants $13995. I told him that was high given the cost of new & zero financing & he agreed but I didn't make an offer. I am thinking this is worth 11-12k? Am I being too stingy? Thank you! Brian

Hi guys, I'm new here & was looking at a Kubota B21 used BH FEL from a dealer(just a reseller, not an actual brand dealer). I told him for not much more money & great financing I could get a CK20HST new with a 4 year warranty. He said I would be sorry because they were a piece of junk &...
