I’d rather not drop the $938 on the new attachment. They make us buy the entire assembly. I’ll go that route if I need to, but I’ll try the chain up recommendation first, then heat, the cut/weld first. Breakout force on the LA 1153 is only a bit over 3000 lbs, so I don’t have much hope on...

While spreading shale when the track loader was down, one side of my tooth bucket jumped off the quick detach. I wasn’t quick enough on the clutch and the force immediately twisted the tube that separates the two side of the quick detach. Reading through the forums it looks like this is...

My explanation of which lights might have been off. I’m looking to replace th entire assembly of the two lights at the top.

While we have the tractor in the bay while the bottom plate is getting wrapped up, I’m going through the list and seeing what else I can get ticked off before the flakes start flying. Going to replace the 4 40watt spots, the 2 on the front and the two on the back the cab. Has anyone made this...

We are getting to the final stages with the assembly for my m7040. Once we get everything tacked together we will be taking it apart to clean up and paint before final assembly. This is a good representation of the various components and material we used. Everything but the bolts came from...

This was before we started. I’m the fat guy with outstretched arms. There is an after picture of the one looking up the hill with the road running through. We’ve got 102 poplars like the one in the picture that are going to fund the timber frame we want to rise. All in steps.

I owed a few pictures from the build.

Hi all. First, I know we hashed over this a while ago. The posts I saved with photobucket pictures are a broken, so I’m starting from scratch again. I got got tractor back in MD and I’ve got a window until the snow starts flying to get some fab work completed. I’m not very good, but have a...

Moving between the hole definitely changes the angle of the blade quite noticeably. On the blacktop I want to 'float' without any additional down pressure. The blade is quite heavy and simply pulling it along should work fine. What I don't want is the effect I get on the bucket when. Putting too...

I've got my m7040 with a Wood 3496, without feet, on the back.in MD for the Winter. Only had the opportunity to use it twice this year to clear snow. I've got a good run of blacktop. My neighbor has gravel. My last go I did only mine and notice I did a pretty good job of scalping a few high...

This is how I'm set up This is Ed's rig after it was delivered. I'll take one when the blower gets here and more action photos.

One of my stock 55w roof utility lights went out last night. Looking for replacements. Had anyone swapped out the stock roof lights on an m5040, m6040, or m7040, for LEDs? Wondering if you had to pull the roof liner to replace the mounting bracket or were you able to use the existing ones for...

My neighbor just bought a B26. We share a 1/4 mile lane. We can have snowy winters, most storms are in the 4-6" range. He told me about a pull behind blower he is looking at. Anyone have experience with these? I just have an 84" bucket and back blade on my m7040. I mostly use my 4wheeler and...

I can shoot this all day long NP...actually traded my Anaconda for it. I'd never go back cause I was doing it wrong lol - All day long =40 rnds then it's time for a new shoulder but all 40 are pretty much in same hole out to 100[emoji16]

Looking for a goose to hull my tractor between TN and MD. With implements and wet I'm just under 10K. The deck overs I've looked at appear a bit beefier than their between the wheel brethren. My bucket is 84" but don't see that as much of a problem. I like the axle placement of a between the...
