I have put it off long enough, time to rebuild the FEL cylinders on the B21. Any one have an idea of a source for the spanner wrench that fits the gland nut (end cap) on the cylinder? I measure the cylinder to be right at 2.4 inches in diameter (~ 60mm) and the closet drill bit I can get to...

Anybody headed to Raleigh? If all works out we plan on going down Thursday to check out all the new toys !! See you there.

I think all this summer heat has got me wishing for winter, which brings up the problem: A steep gravel driveway ~ 400 feet long with a sharp turn at the bottom of the driveway. I can scrape the snow off but this leaves me with a thin layer of ice (think of a bob sled run). During the winter...

My son traded one of his corn pickers for a McCormick (International Harvester) Model 80 Combine. Any combine gurus familiar with a Model 80? We have a few months before the beans will be ready so we have some time to go through it and get everything operational. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Looking to pull the trigger on a L4240 before the end of the month. Currently looking at: L4240 with GST R1 tires (loaded) LA854 loader with QA Standard Bucket 1 rear remote Have I missed anything?

Not sure if this was the correct forum or not, so here goes: Any one know how to remove the wheels on a old Mayrath chain drag elevator (conveyor)? My son purchased one and we are having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to remove the wheels.

I have a B21 with 800 hrs on it and it has developed a slow but steady drip coming from the cloth sleeve that contains all of the hoses inside the boom. I thought about pulling the hoses out by trial and error, but surely there has got to be a better way. Thanks Andy B21 TLB / BX2200

I purchased a used B21 several months ago and now have a need to remove the backhoe. I have read the manual and understand how it should come off, but it appears that it has never been off before and everything (including the spring pins) are frozen solid. I have starting soaking all of the...

I am looking for a riding mower to mow ~ 3 acres, and have come across a B5200, 4wd, 700 hrs comes with a cultivator, aerator, 48" belly mower. Owner is asking $4,000. Is this a good / bad / averga price? Thanks Andy

I finally made the plunge and purchased a used B21 TLB with 780 hrs for $15,000, so far I am very pleased. I have put about 4 hours on it playing with stumps and digging ditches, I have figured everything out from the labels (owner's manual is on order) and the only question is the what does the...

Ok, I have sold my skidsteer and I'm getting ready to take the plunge and buy a TLB, either a L35 or B21. Looked at a L35 today with 1700 hrs, started up fine, everything ran well, FEL and BH were fairly tight, had a hose that probably needs replacing on the BH and it had some dings in the...

Hello - Before I get to my question let me introduce my self. I am in the market for a small TLB as a replacement for my Bobcat 753 skid steer. I plan on using it for farm maintenance on 2 small farms that my family owns. The Bobcat does very well except when you need to dig a ditch or...
