old & tired: I still am having trouble getting the attachments (pages) to load. The max size that I can see is 5 MB per the eight pages. I was able to upload the pages to another member on his private e-mail. If you are willing, please PM me and I will upload those to you. Perhaps you can resize...

I am the original poster of this project, and after numerous requests over the years for the TR-35 manual, I found the manual after two home moves. As I operate tractors better than computers, here are the scanned files (jpeg) of the 8 page manual. WALT The images are not loading: "the...

I have not posted in awhile, but thought I would share a simple attachment I made for screening driveway sand. At my present home, with paved driveway, my sand needs have been reduced from 4+ yards a winter to +/- 1 yard. My rolling inside sandbox was near empty and I would need sand for this...

I stopped at the local dealer to look for a replacement for my 12 y/o Honda 431 Brush cutter/trimmer. Among the choices were a new 35 cc Honda and the Stihl line up. As I discussed options with the dealer, he showed me the FS 250 & the FS 310. He stated that the FS 310 & up models have the...

TBN'ers After many hours of work, I have finally reassembled an old TR-35 Harley rake, that I bought used 7-8 years ago. I used it on a job in April, and noticed it was vibrating alot. I was able to finish the job, got it back to my garage, and took a close look at it. The bottom bar roller...

I am finishing up a teardown & refurb of an old Harley TR-35 60" power rake. All was going well. I was remounting the sprockets/hubs in the gear box, when the center hub split as the sprocket was tightened to it. The hub fits on a 1 3/8" shaft and holds a 15 tooth, #60 pitch roller chain...

I just completed the 400 hr. service for my L-39, and again dumped 2 gallons of old hydro fluid on the floor while changing it. A solution to this problem might be a drain valve installed in place of the drain plug. I was able to buy one for my 99 Ford F-250 7.3 Diesel. Changing the oil on the...

TBN'ers: The latest project to come out of the shop during this snow-less CT. winter. I was at the local dump in November, and came across an old 7' snowplow w/frame that had seen some rough use. I tipped the dump guy $25.00 and took it home to see if it could be made useful again. I...

For those of you that use a rotary spreader to sand your driveway, here is the latest brainstorm from my shop. Last winter, I decided that I needed more sand on my driveway, than on my lawn & woods, when using my rotary spreader. I made a crude set of wings to limit the spread with some plywood...

While its still in the 50's in CT. w/ no frost in the ground, I have finished the outside tractor work until spring. Here are a few indoor tractor add-on projects that you may find helpful. These are mounted on my Kubota L-39, but will fit on any machine, adjusting as needed. All use s/s hose...

As part of my ongoing landscaping around my home, I have excavated a 6' x 50' trench for a proposed sidewalk. the trench is approx. 12" deep. The soil is rock, with some clay mixed in. What grade of gravel should be used as the base for this project? I plan on spreading 4" of gravel...

TBN'ers: After close to a year of owning my L-39, I finally got the time to make a skid plate for it. It is similar to the skidplate I made for my BX 2200, with the exception that the L-39 skidplate attaches by homemade "U" bolts to the loader frame. The BX 2200 skidplate attaches to the...

TBN'ers: After research from here, local dealers, the Woods website and contacting the H.Q., it appears that dealers do not stock the heavy duty Gannon scrapers. It must be purchased sight unseen and shipped from the factory in CA. $$$$$$$$$$ As I would like to see one in person prior to...

After a frustrating day at TSC & 3 local tractor dealers, I need some help in finding the proper male connector to plug into the aux. hydro valve kit for my L-39. It appears that the generic "pioneer type" male coupler will not work. The female couplers off the valve body are fixed, and do not...

I am in the process of making a skid plate for the L-39 TLB. I have drafted a rough sketch for now and will make a cardboard mock-up to see how close my measurements are. While the underside of the L-39 has fewer soft spots than my BX2200, in this area plenty of rocks & sticks can still damage...
