Thanks for the reply. I haven't looked into this yet: - CEL has stayed off since, and becase it has been too cold to mess in the shop. - I thought maybe I had interrupted the regen. But the glow plugs is interesting as it was -20C that day. - I didn't notice any blinking on the CEL. - I do...

My tractor threw a CEL today (155hrs)., and rpms started to fluctuate. Does this thing have an OBDII port? Nearest dealer is a couple hours away, I'd like to try and do some troubleshooting myself first.

I used the Summit 3rd function kit on my Bobcat 2035. It works as advertised. If I did it again, I would go with a diverter though. The 3rd function is so touchy, because your flow is basically 0 or 100%, so it really slams that grapple closed. With a diverter you would have control over the...

Thanks. Yeah, given that I am in Canada, I always change oil once a year for that reason.

Got it thanks. I thought 400 hours sounded like a long time. I pulled my air filter and had a look. I only have the outer filter, not the inner filter. Do you guys run the inner air filter? I am not running in a dusty environment, is the inner filter necessary?

I have a CT20235. I am looking at the "Operations and Maintenance Manual", and a copy of the "Service Manual". The maintenance schedule is different, especially for oil changes. This is from page 187 of the Operators Manual. This is page 134 of the Operators manual This is page 2-25 of the...

Thanks.

The notch thing is similar to what I was thinking. However, for some reason I was thinking of notching the top, opening the notching, and sealing back up, and I didn't feel comfortable with the strength of that. However, notching the bottom makes way more sense, and I feel like a bonehead for...

No I found them on the property we bought, then I removed the old mount and made a quick attach mount. It seems that the reinforcement is causing the issue, I don't think it was taken into account when the guy built it, and it causes the one fork to be high. I suspect it was never straight...

I have a pair of forks I retrofitted to my tractor. They are not quite level. They work, but it can be annoying to pick things up as one digs into earth while other digs into what I am picking up. I am trying to thing of a way to level them out. I have a welder, but not an oxy/acetyline torch...

Haha, yeah he loaded it in truck with the old tractor. I think I have convinced the wife we can buy one.

Haha. Yeah, he is my wife's great uncle and lives over 100km away, and hist tractor is likely 10,000lbs, so even a car hauler wouldn't get it here. I thought about building an extension... I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I went out and took it apart and flipped the gear box so I could...

These are good options if I owned it. :) I am borrowing it. The guy I am borrowing for likely hasn't used it in 30 years, but he isn't interested in getting rid of it. The brackets for the U piece are welded on. So flipping it would push those arms down 3-4" (height of frame, plus bit bracket...

Now that you say that, I have seen that on larger tractors. But I don't have it on this one.

I just had someone tell me their father used to have one like it, and you could flip it upside down like I suspected. Trying to decide if it is worth the effort, I am worried some of those old bolts may snap off in the process... they likely haven't moved in 60 years.
