Well, my neighbor behind me and I had shared a dead pine tree and I had a couple of pear trees that were not in good shape and I wanted down. The problem, he had a couple of guys that didn't want to do the job because a telephone pole was in the middle of the triple dead pine tree. My pool...

I hated every time I go to drive out of the garage. I have to start the tractor go in back and put up the backhoe stabilizers and get back in the cab. I want to get in hit the garage door opener and drive out. Backhoe Stabilizers Bleed Down, Why didn't I think of this, before. I did a nice...

I just never like using my foot to adjust the steering wheel on my 3240, doesn't seem natural to me. You have to lift your complete foot up off the floor 9 inches every time I get in or out of the cab. My shoe always hits and scuffs up the inside trim around the pedal, usually I have mud and...

You may have seen my Electronic Fel Indicator in another thread, and you may have seen my custom shift control knob also in another thread. In this thread those two combined with a couple of solenoid controlled hydraulic valves, and a few relays. I now have what I call Auto Level Stop Control...

Looked at a John deere 3720 cab today Drove by a John deere dealer today. Stopped to look at a 3720 cab with a 375 backhoe that was out front. It seems so small and compact compared to my Grand L 3240, it had 75 hrs on it. I looked at a 3320 before I bought my Kubota didn't notice the size...

After suggesting 4shorts make one for his Bx. I thought I would experiment with different ideas for my lever control in my cab. Here is my first attempt at it. I wanted close to the size of the factory rubber knob as I could, but yet have the third function switches built in right on it as a one...

I just separated this modification to make it easier to find. It's buried in with my other stuff and no real way to find it if someone wants to copy the modification in the future. Like TripleR did on his tractors step. :thumbsup: So it's a copy and a 70 hr. update. On my 3240 it's a long...

It's kinda hard to look cool:cool: when you smack your mirror into the pine trees. Oh well that's life. The road between the pines is dirt, that is why the bucket is up, I only push the snow going down the road. You can be sure those branches are getting trimmed.

Sorry for all the pictures, I would like to know at a glance whether I'm in or out of 4 wheel drive. A 4 wheel drive indicator light should be stock on a Grand L, like the E brake warning light is. Some 80's Toyota 4 wheel drive Tercel wagons had these Inclinometers as an expensive option. At...

Does your seat in the 40 series tractor squeak over every turn and bump? Are you wondering why in your quite cab, the seat makes so much noise? Do you use the three position angle seat option? If you don't use the very slight useless turn of the seat. Remove these four nuts, then remove the...

I wanted to put some cab marker lights on my tractor. The problem was the angle and curve of the top, it's hard to get any light to fit on it. I found the smallest led marker lights I could find. Unless I wanted them pointing up to the sky, I had to make some back spacers to be able to mount...

I finally had a chance to make a stack for my Grand L 40 cab tractor. I have been putting it off because of the problems with the fel upright being in the way and the angle of the original exhaust coming off the tractor. But I decided last week I had to get it done. I wanted a stack that...

I received a message about my electronic fel indicator today from another member. I realize it's buried in my Modification thread with no title to find it. So I'm making its own thread so people can find it in the future. I wanted to make a bucket level rod just like the one I made for my...

Since greasing the tractor is one of the most important things a tractor owner can do, Just wondering what others are doing for greasing? I just have a "one hand" run of the mill grease gun, I hate it, I hate doing it, I hate the mess. I'm thinking of getting an electric one and mounting it...

This may not be for everyone, but this is what I did for gauges and monitor. First I wanted to have the least obstructive gauge set I could find with the smallest footprint. For what I had in mind and the limited space I had to mount them. I could not find anything anywhere that I liked and...
