Steve. I'm sure you are correct. I've replaced countless dozer, motor grader, scraper etc blades, so I'm familiar with the bolts you speak of, just didnt know what they are called. Thanks!

Ted etal, can you make me a smooth edge? I have a little Yanmar with a 4' wide bucket that needs a cutting edge. It has no mounting hole so no need for custom lay out. I would want smooth for driveway grading and snow scraping etc. Thanks!

Thanks Smokey!!

Hmm... First I gotta figure out what that means..

Hey all. I have a no name FEL with a little bitty bucket on it. I'm wondering if anyone has found a good source for a hardened cutting edge for a 48" bucket. I would like a reversible one, held one by carriage bolts. The mild steel edge....isn't gonna cut it. :cautious:

You guys guess good! Flow rate is 4.5 gallons at 2400 rpm (PTO speed). I didn't think about them being open/closed centers, I'll see if I can check that tonight. As far as float....Hmm...only way toc check that might be to pull the spool....or should it just "stick" in the forward position...

I have an old Yanmar Ym 2000D with a FEL, looks like a home built jobbie. It currently has a two spool valve body to operate the FEL. Well a friend gave me another valve body that is a three spool. It is slightly smaller in size but the fitting holes are of a very similar size. I’m wondering how...

What Tx Jim said, that ain’t right, for a couple of reasons. As he stated the valve shouldn’t let fluid pass while its in the neutral position. Also, the cylinders should have enough drag on them just from the seals that they should take a bit of force to move in and out. But if that were...

Are you splitting live oak? 🥵 Your chainsaw will cut through the rounds waaaay quicker than jigging up some contraption.

Hi all. I'm trying to help a friend repair her tractor. She had a "mobile" tractor mechanic come put a new clutch in it. He put the tractor back together but thats where the work stopped. I ran up the other day to a pile of parts and a mess. Biggest issue is the pressure tube from the hydraulic...

Both of these were before the last blast that dropped a bunch more snow. Still fun. The local doe with her new twins and I think last years yearing were thrilled I plowed the road. All the passes across the state are closed for two days due tk the amount that fell, even the train that goes right...

Well we’ve had a HECK of alot of snow here, at least at my work that is. The Mack was getting stuck, I got the 120M grader stuck several times, so, when in doubt, D6! You know its snowed alot when you have to remember “dont hang the blade on the telephone line!” 😳

Ah yup. You just don’t have enough room. If its a plain ol rake (no hydraulics etc) perhaps you could extend the rakes frame? The majority of them seem to be 4” box tube between the 3 point and the actual rake, toss another foot or so of tube in?

Welp. This here is the report post. IT WORKED! WELL! Finally had a chance to get to the property, we had 14-16” of snow sitting on the ground, still fairly fluffy. The blower worked great! Would chuck snow about 20’ which is plenty for my needs. The only issue I had is where snow is pushed up...

Have you tried running a shorter top link? Sometimes a shorter one, shortened all the way up and lifted fully will create enough space to spin the rake around to use in reverse….sometimes.
