    Are You A Gambler?

    I agree with everything paulsharvey said, and especially if the flood-damaged tractor has a hydrostatic transmission. There are so many little parts inside a hydrostatic transmission that would make it an almost impossible task to put it back into like-new condition, unless you are a...

    Branson 3820i loader valve

    K5, I wish I had a few rich friends. You've gotta be rolling in the dough, or you have such a subtle sense of humor. Either way, glad you got your radiator! :)

    Sick of Paying Tractor Part Prices.... Make Your Own....(3D Printed)

    I am impressed with your product. It looks like factory made. I do admire people who think self-sufficiency, because you never know what the future holds. And if your dealer is umpteen hundred miles away, it's nice to know you still have your own options. I had a similar situation with my...

    Branson 3820i loader valve

    I had the top to break off on my 3510 loader control. I was lucky enough that I could heli-arc the break. It took some finessing, but I was able to weld and grind the loader control piston, to where it was smooth enough to re-insert. It worked, but seemed to be a little off center. Sometimes...

    Branson 3510 Hydraulic system weak

    Thanks for the reply, J_J. It took a little while, but the problem eventually resolved itself. Must have been trapped air? It would be handy to have a hydraulic gauge, though.

Typical modern automotive applications, require removal of a couple of top fastening bolts, then the radiator is simply lifted up and out of...

    Branson BL10 FEL quick coupling 0-ring size

    I have looked everywhere, but can't seem to locate any reference to the size of the rubber o-rings that are inside the quick couplings on the Branson BL10 front-end loader. I think there might be a replacement kit that contains the o-ring and a flat teflon backup ring, but I'm not even positive...

    Branson 3510 Hydraulic system weak

    I just replaced a bad hydraulic line on my Branson 3510 backhoe, and now all backhoe and front-end loader functions are slow and weak. I expected a little trouble with air in the lines, but figured it would work out of the system with use. I have not changed the hydraulic filter, so that could...
