A neighbor of mine has a john deere 1023. My loader will lift more weight on my PT than his will to my max height. He has a small 26” grapple on his and it works pretty well for him…. I am also considering purchasing a regular tractor right now so that I can load into my dump trailer. With my PT...

Hey folks, So… after 2 hurricanes in as many weeks down here in FL. I need to add a 3rd function to my ‘lil 180. Any one here tried it? I am going to start researching the loader valve first and then look to see if I need to try to run a diverter on it or if I will need to put in a secondary...

Tchamp, I think we have the same cooler…

I was changing the whole valve. I ended up just putting the old one back in. Now my PTO lever is spewing fluid. I’m waiting for the o rings to come in. I have an assortment of them, but they are ALL THE WRONG SIZE just my luck.

My hour meter stopped at 305.9 hours… that was roughly 100 hours ago… I never leave the key i. The on position, but I don’t think my key will come out anymore, LOL

Yeah, I was swapping the whole valve. I need to see your creation

Here is my cooler I added. When I get around to it I will swap the hose looping around it to a hard tube. Until then. It works. And after 8+ hours of brush cutting yesterday and 4 hours of mowing today, it works. 😁

I have a 180, a much smaller machine. I will say that I am in no way a role model… however, I have, on several occasions mowed at close to 30 degrees sideways. It is uncomfortable, but the money was pretty good and I never felt the tractor was going to slide down the slope.

I bought one and was about to install it because I want a joystick, but when I had finally got all of the fittings I needed and was about to install I figured out it did not have a float Function so… useless… sorta… and they would not return it because I had “installed” it.

As a side note, did this the other day… Time for a joystick loader valve…

Hey guys, Been a long time since I posted… like since my last issue with the PT. Anywho, I keep noticing that I am getting a steady drip from the male quick attach. Yesterday I installed a rather large hydraulic cooler and then tried to see how hot the hydraulics would get (pics coming soon)...

So... I ordered a stump grinder on Tuesday. It came today. Power-trac has been hanging around Amazon too much... 2 day shipping on a stump grinder and rake, haha. However, I know we talked about it and a few people said it didn't seem that great. I am here to tell you. That was wrong. I took out...

So... It looks like I will be getting a second one and mounting both. [emoji16]

Well, The cooler has arrived. It is smaller than I thought... [emoji3525]

Is it normal for your exhaust to turn red under normal use?
