    Hydraulic Tools?

    Happened to stumble on these hydraulic tools by Stanley: Handheld Hydraulic Tools Does anyone have any experience with these? Noticed that most of them run on 7-9gpm -- would work well with a 3x20 machine?

    Ran across brackets: Front 3-point hitch/mid-mount brackets (3120-3720) Anyone know anything about these? Without these, do you need to remove the quick hitch to use the mower deck?

    59" snowblower hydraulic chute

    Hello everyone, Wondering if anyone has added a hydraulic chute deflector to their 59" front snowblower? I have a manual cable chute deflector control for my 54" snowblower on my 2320, and it works great for me. My gravel drive requires quite a bit of finesse when snowblowing to avoid the...

    EH 3rd SCV + Diverter -- how does it work?

    If you order a 3x20 with electro-hydraulic 3rd SCV, you get the cool joystick with the up/down button to control the 3rd SCV: it appears that you need to first activate the 3rd SCV using a switch mounted on the right console: My question is, if you then add the diverter valve, is the...

    Greasing 2320 driveshaft

    This is the easiest way I have found to grease the dreaded 2320 driveshaft that connects the engine to the transmission. After removing 8 or 10 screws and loosening the throttle bolt, I am able to seperate the top and botton dash components enough that I can move the lower panel out of the...

    Backhoe  New 265 backhoe for 2320/2520 tractors

    In another thread in the buying section, it was said: This explains the numbering of the 260 backhoe (6 foot digging depth) for the 2305. I can't imagine it would be long before the 46 (6.5 foot digging depth) backhoe gets replaced by a 265 backhoe, with a curved boom similar to the 260, 375...

    3-Point Hitch  Loader Mount for 3pt imatch

    Hi Guys. I have a set of pallet forks for my 200cx loader. I was thinking about buying/building a caryall for the 3pt hitch, but then it occurred to me: Why not build an adapter that would allow me to attach the forks to my imatch hitch. Then I can use the forks on the front or the back...

    Grading  47" blower on quick hitch for 54" blade???

    I have the 54" quick hitch blade for my 2320. If I wanted to purchase the 47" snowblower, will it go on the same quick hitch? My quick-hitch has hydraulic angle, which I guess would need to be replaced with a non-angling part, and the hydraulic for the snowblower chute angle used instead? If...

    Engine block heater / coolant heater & high-capacity alternator

    So I ordered both of these heaters (coolant heater and block heater) with my tractor (2320) but I only see one plug. Did I get ripped off? What is the difference between these two? Also, how do I know if I have the high-capacity alternator I ordered? thanks.
