The nozzle nut should be tightened to 28.9-32.5 ft-lbs, and the nozzle retainer should be tightened to 14.5-21.7 ft-lbs. This should give you a good starting point to make sure everything is tightened correctly. Honestly, though, I'm more in favor of turbo options because I've heard a lot of...

I get where you're coming from with the Kubota L2501. I had one, too, but it wasn't strong enough for the challenging work I needed. It was an excellent basic tractor, but I needed something with a bit more muscle, especially for demanding jobs. I ended up checking out kubota dealers and found...

In my building work, I've found that using structural screws like Spax is usually a better option for connecting big beams to posts. These screws are strong and hold things together nicely. They're also easier to put in and remove if you need to change something later. Whenever I need screws or...

Drawing from personal experience, getting a good pre-purchase inspection has always been key to a profitable equipment investment.

Get a long chain, wrap it thru the back wheel and then to a tree behind the tractor. Wrap the chain to the bottom of the wheel so that when put in reverse, it pulls the tractor out. Understand? When put in reverse, the chain will pull the tractor backwards. Might have to experiment with the...

That's exactly what I was planning on using to build my pole barn - I have 5x5x10' non-treated poles that I was planning on using and, planning on dipping each post in roofing tar 6-12 inches above ground level. Will it work (as far as reducing rot) ? I am in deep east texas, near the Toledo...

Send me the exact wording of the entire email, or send me the link to the ad - I'll find it for you but i can tell you now frpm the numerous ones that I've seen in the past, the REAL tractor will be as stated in the fake listing, the only thing different will be the price - the real one will...

I'm a bit late on answering, not sure what others have said but, this absolutely, definitely a scam - I had almost the exact same emails on a tractor I found - Do what I did - grab the name of one of the pics she posted, then do a google search for the name of the picture - you'll find it on the...

Did you find a parts diagram and, did you replace them yourself? Here is what someone else sent me: https://parts.agcocorp.com/en_US/apbsearch?q=masseyferguson/652227/l&c=2341534&tocGuid=ec67c130-481c-a154-82da-ebc09e549e52&name=SUB%20HYDRAULIC%20-%20POWERSHUTTLE

Once again, TractorByNet membets come thru with sage knowledge helping hands. I truly appreciate the members here. Thank you, again.

THANK YOU !! Who'd have thought - Joystick Assembly ! That part #61 is one part of the housing that is bent bigtime. There is also a sheet metal part that connects to the tight hand side of Part #61, as well as a cannister holding "something" on the left. Not sure what that "something" is...

Not my actual tractor but the only pic that I could find. The parts on my tractor are too mangled to see them. I will keep looking for better pics. I have searched the parts link in this thread but still cannot find an image of the parts.

I just bought the Titan Stump Bucket for a 1735m and it works great. On small (less than 6 inch diamater), it took me less than 2-3 minutes each to yank out whole root system of 15+ trees. Took about an hour to dig out a 3 foot in diameter cedar tree. I was worried that the small end at the...

I caught a limb between the right rear wheel and the step, causing the step to bend and smack into the housing/shroud that holds and protect the hydraulic connectors. I managed to remove the step and "bend" the housing back enough to get home but is is banged up big time. I have been searching...
