Well almost 2 years later...I jumped on to order new filters and a quick Google search landed me back on this thread and I noticed my post back in 2019. For the record and for anyone who may land on this page in the future - the Wix 57102 does NOT work for HST filter on the J2023H. Its simply...

Long story short, I picked up a cement 3 point weight from someone who makes/sells them locally. I bought the 300 lb weight from him but he also has 500 lb weights and said if I'm not happy with it I can come back and swap to a 500 for a few bucks more. What weights do you guys run on your...

Makes sense to run it with no load. Should be easy enough with my excavator since I can just slowly lift/lower the boom repeatedly to work the air out of the system. Pump is installed, my dad came and gave me a hand lifting it into position. The shaft slid into the engine with no effort and we...

So I've got a brand new hydraulic pump coming for my Takeuchi TB145...(for anyone who remembers my other thread, I ended up ordering it from a local vendor here in the US instead of ordering it from overseas...more money but peace of mind) Any tips for installing? My basic understanding is to...

So long story short, I bought a used Takeuchi TB145 excavator for a smoking deal knowing it would need some work on the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic pump has been removed and brought to a shop for them to look over and come up with some quotes for repair. Its a 2 part pump (main piston pump runs...

I had posted this in the LS forum but someone suggested I try here. A little back story. I have an LS J2023H, got a front mount snowblower for it this winter season. Halfway through winter I was blowing my driveway and the joystick to lift/lower/angle the blower broke. Pulled the boot off and...

I ordered a new control valve from surpluscenter.com, this one: 2 Spool 12 GPM Joystick Loader Control Valve | Joystick Valves | Hydraulic Valves | Hydraulics | www.surpluscenter.com Valve is correct...however the ports are not the same as the current one. This new valve uses SAE 8 ports and...

Anybody ever seen this issue on their LS? LS J2023H, bought in summer of 2014. I was snowblowing my driveway yesterday, went to lower the snowblower and the lever for lifting/lowering/angling the snowblower (or loader if thats installed) was just flopping around...like it was no longer...

Disregard this post...user error. When I swapped the hydraulic connections I accidentally mixed them up, so I had the supply for both the lift/lower and chute angler together and the returns for both together.... Give me one dumb point for the day. On a positive note...once I realized my...

So long story short...I removed my FEL today and installed my LS front mount snowblower. I hooked up the hydraulic connections (4 of them, I did get the hydraulic chute control too) and gave it a shot...realized I had placed them in the wrong spots so I swapped them around so they'd be same...

Not sure if this belongs here or the construction equipment forum... Anybody know anything about these machines? Any known issues? Or things to look for when checking one out? I'm eyeing an early-90s KH170L with 6600 hours. Guy claims everything works/operates as it should. Its obviously not a...

Interested to hear opinions/experiences of any Yamaha Wolverine side by side (not the old 4 wheeler) owners? I'm researching a side by side that would be used about equal parts fun/work. Primarily around the property it would be used to truck myself and some gear from here to there...nothing...

Since moving to our property 3.5 years ago our garage has steadily been getting filled with more and more lawn/property care equipment and tools...I drive a VW TDI and leave our house at 445am to get to work on time, so it pretty much has to be kept in our heated (55-60) garage all winter...and...

Been hearing a rattling under the hood so when I went looking I found this...anyone else seen this happen? Ive owned the tractor for just about 3 years now (only 94 hours on it though) so I think its safe to assume the 5-year factory warranty will cover this? Planning to load it up and trailer...

Anyone know of any websites that sell individual LS filters? Specifically looking for a 40056451 for my J2023H. The lstractorparts.com website seems to only sell entire filter kits...but the HST and Hydro filters are not done as frequently as I like to do the oil and fuel filters. Don't really...
