Wow, that's surprising, if I recall they are bolted to the exhaust manifold along with some other brackets. Did you do a lot of low idling?

Mine also came off a 2660 but must have been a 54in deck as the boot bracketry didn't match up at all. Also the rear mounting brackets were different, but luckily I had the correct brackets in my pile of random Kubota parts! Tractor data says 08-13 for the 60 series.

Just looked on build my kubota. MSRP was just over $2400

No idea new, I got mine used for 500. I know the hard clamshell style I have on my zd331 was over 5k new.

How many stands does yours have? Mine had 2, one under the blower and one on the bagger upright closest to the blower. I moved that one to the further upright from the blower, and it seems to be fairly balanced. I will say you do have to watch how you move it or else it will end up upside down...

I also just recently picked up a GCK60-23BX for my Bx2680. I will say i prefer the frame mounted version, and once I get my hyd top link it will be very easy to r&r. Mine came with all the deck mounting hardware, but unfortunately it must have been for a different size and model deck as it...

I wouldn't paint the aluminum, usually just traps more moisture, I've found the best prevention is washing thoroughly and running the deck after to help dry it. The dryer the grass when mowing the better.

Do you have a picture of the damage? I've seen aluminum spindles have bad corrosion in areas, most likely from the moisture from decomposing grass, also when decomposing the grass can change PH which could cause problems. I doubt if the casting was what bad it would have made it through qc.

Yeah, it's just a chunk of cast iron.

You are referring to this correct?

It is just a chunk of metal bolted to the engine to help with vibration/harmonics of the 2cylinder engine. I couldn't find it in the parts book either. My dad has a 1500 and I was curious about that weight also when he bought it.

Check for ac voltage between the 2 wires coming from the stator (coil under the flywheel), you'll have to check for particular engine model, but is usually between 28-35v ac at full throttle. If you have the correct ac voltage going into the regulator and no dc voltage above 13v coming out...

They actually have a higher load rating then the R4 I took off. 825lbs for the Reaper and 780lbs for the R4

Bought a set of the Reapers for the front of the BX, if I like them I'll get a set for the rear also. So far they seem like they'll work pretty good, once I mow with them I'll know for sure.

Kubota uses aluminum rear transmission/axle housings on the BX, B and LX series with one exception I know of. The B26tlb uses cast steel axle housings with an aluminum center/transmission. From personal experience and what I've seen on other equipment, the aluminum rear ends on these tractors...

I'm pretty sure the hitch is latched, I think it looks weird because the hitch has a downward angle. I'm more worried that that trailer doesn't have any brakes with a B2320 w/loader behind a small suv.

No, I have an M4711, which is essentially the same backhoe, just an earlier model. Mine is on an L3240, and it's on the big side for my tractor, which weighs over 5,000 lbs.

We'll find out, haven't mowed yet although I need to. The loader will probably stay off most of the mowing season. Although mounting/dis-mounting the loader takes about 5min and I don't have to leave the seat! Kinda handy. If i had a lot of property to mow, I I would probably keep the ZD, but...

I'm not completely sure, but I know some models have a switch to automatically turn off the PTO when the 3pt is at full height. Might look into if yours has that.

How quickly does does it go up after you start it? Does it sound like its loaded up while rising?

You said it drops when turned off and goes up when running? If so I would think the drop speed knob wouldn't be the issue.

Does it have draft control? That would add another area to look onto.

Sounds like something is either stuck on the feedback, or the connection came off. Check for any linkages that might have come off the 3pt rocker arms or back by the valve. I'm not familiar with your model exactly but most position control 3pt on compacts use fairly similar setups. Does it...

I think they were made for zero turns, but i like that they are a little more aggressive than the turf masters. I just wonder how hard the fronts will be on the turf when turning.

Has anyone tried the Reaper turf tires on their BX? Want to change the R4 on my BX to turf and was looking at using the OTR Reaper turf tires. Just wondering how they compare to the Turf Masters I'm use to.

Better lubricants help, but a lot has to do with design, better machining, better materials, and quality control. As someone who use be a machinist for an engine builder, I was able to work on a number of different makes. The most accurate/best cast blocks I worked on were Honda at the time...

The loader to tractor attachment has the same pin style as other Kubota loaders. Easy off, maybe 5min to remove the loader assembly, no tools required.

There are a lot of aftermarket companies rebuilding electronics for nla parts. At least for more popular models that have a following.

Depends on which state, after 25years they don't require emissions testing.

Yeah, but might help the person that just posted, or anyone else that searches. Always hate threads that don't have a resolution.

Picked up a Makita 6421 to go with my 6401, have been looking for a while this one popped up localy for a great price. Now I just need to decide which one will get turned into a 7901!

It is hard to tell from the picture, but is the pinion gear completely worn out? See circled gear.

Should be 2000rpm

BX2230, but yes, around here, that would be a decent deal for that setup. I'd rather have a 2230 then a 2350 anyways due to the plastic hoods and fenders on the 50 series. From the pictures, it looks pretty clear for the hours.

Manual lever would be on the lift pump attached to the engine, not the filter. Can you take a picture of the line you're clearing? One line on the filter housing has a check valve in it if my memory serves me right. Tomorrow I'll be home and can check my L3240, which should be the same.

I wouldn't recommend a tapered extractor, they have a tendency to damage castings from the pressure they exert. Look for a splined style for pipe, they are specific to size. If that doesn't work, the die grinder mentioned earlier, very carfully with a carbide burr or even a stone, cut into the...

Do you have a lever on the lift pump to manually pump by hand? If so, open the bleeder and manually pump until you get a good clean flow of fuel out. Then close the bleeder and crack all the hard line nuts at the injectors. Crank until you have fuel coming out, then tighten the injector...

Typically key switches located like that will use a plastic "umbrella" molded onto the key that fits over the switch to keep water out. Without that, the switches have a tendency to fail pretty quick if out in the weather. Might see if you can find a key like that for your switch. Similar to these

The grand L and BX definitely compliment each other well size wise.

Just priced SUDT2 at my dealer today, $128 for 5gal, we are not in the lowest cost area either.

I have pretty soft ground in places and the R4's will tear it up pretty good when turning. I have a set of turfs that'll fit, although the front are pretty worn. I also have a set of ag tires, but the fronts won't fit as they are the older 8in wheel version. I'll probably swap out the turfs...

Picked up the tractor and mower deck yesterday, long trip but am happy with the condition of both, only thing I need to do to the deck is straighten out the anti scalp wheel mount by the front of the discharge (not uncommon) the paint isn't even worn off the cutting edge of the blades. Tractor...

I'm hopefully it up tomorrow, there is something more relaxing about mowing with a tractor vs. the Z. I will miss the nice crisp stripes, though.

I'd agree with you all on points, at least it'll still be diesel and can add a mulching kit. Definitely will not be as fast, but from my experience it'll only add about 20-30min.

Trail work, landscaping around the house, being able to use it when the L is tied up with backhoe and grapple use. For the short time I had the 1870 I found it pretty handy to have a second loader around. I also borrow my dad Bx1500 from time to time when I need a small machine.

I have a L3240 with loader and backhoe, just trying to have equipment that can be used year round. The smaller loader tractor is handy for work that the L is too big for. Honestly the Zd is really too big for my needs, I love it but since I'm not cutting for money anymore it doesn't make a lot...

A lot, I put more hrs on the tractor than I do on the mower every year. That's part of the reason to change, hate having a peice of equipment that sits for 4+ months of the year. Because of how the yard is setup it only adds about 1/2 to mowing time.

Maybe, would like to know your reasoning

Mmm, rfm are a pain. I've mowed this area with a Wheel Horse w/60in deck, it does take a little longer but not terrible. I figure the extra utility of having a second loader/tractor will outweigh the slight mowing disadvantages, I really will miss my Zd if I go this route, though. If was...

Well I think I'm going to look at a 2680 tomorrow, it only has about 250hrs and has a Landpride 3rd function on it. I also found a low hr 60in deck for it from someone else. If it works out, I'll have my Zd's up for sale soon. Hope the whole deal will only cost me about 2k if I can get what I...

With the blower for the collector on it is almost 8ft wide! Can get a bit cumbersome to maneuver over uneven ground.

I've mowed this property with a Wheel Horse 520h with a 60in deck, and Z's with 60 and 72. Time isn't as big of an issue now that it's mine and not a customers where time meant money. With the ssqa I can at least pull the bucket off to mow, although the swift-tach loaders seem to come on and...

I don't need a bx, it would be more of a replacment for the zd since it has more uses. I would be buying used and selling my zd331, zd21 and probably my Wheel Horse 520h. I don't care about ground clearance as this would be a secondary machine to my larger L so the mower deck would stay on all...

Thanks, I know it'll be slower then the Zd, mainly wondering how the BX cut quality will compare. I have a larger L3240 for heavier tractor work. While I like the z it's a one trick machine, it would also be nice to have a smaller machine to get into places the L doesn't fit.

I'm thinking about selling my ZD331 and buying a BX2680 with loader (used). I know the BX cut speed and cut quality won't be as good, but I like the idea of having a machine I can use year round and for other task. The only experience I have on a BX mowing has been with a BX1500 a few times...

Yes, but if you have 1/2" studs you'll need to upgrade to 9/16".

I wanted a rollback trailer when I was looking at few years ago. They're very rare so I went with a regular deckover with ramps. Just saw an older Moritz rollback trailer for sale on market place! Man I wish I could have found that 2 years ago.

I have the 14ply 16's on my dump trailer, major improvement over the 10ply, but nothing compared to the 17.5's I put on my deckover, those things are stout, lots more tread compared to the 14ply 16's.

They make slip clutches for round shafts so most likely you can add a slip clutch if you want. Does the top of the A frame slide in the brace? I have an older Woods mower that had a flex joint built into the A frame for the 3pt.

It wasn't a salesman, higher up. I also looked into it and Diamond C was listed with ATW at the time, maybe the deal fell through, don't know. I just know at the time they were connected, and right after, PJ trailers started to pick up a lot of Diamond C design traits. I actually prefer them...

That came from the large Diamond C/ PJ dealer I bought my Diamond C trailer from 2 years ago when we started discussing different brands. The only brand on his lot that wasn't connected was the Good Guys trailers. Apparently ATW bought/invested in a number of manufacturers in 2019/2020...

Not unless they bought it back in the past 2 years, ATW owns them and Bain Capitol owns ATW.

Just so you know, Diamond C, PJ and Big Tex are all owned by the same parent company, American Trailer Works (atw). You'll probably notice that thr newer PJ goosnecks have a similar construction to the Diamond C in the past few years.

Been looking for a while, only one not a couple hundred miles away the guy won't respond. Wish I had bought another one before Home Depot switched to the 6100.

I haven't found a DIY bed liner that holds up well enough to be worth it. Even some spray on commercial versions aren't great. LineX is a whole different level.

Do you ever come across any Makita/Dolmer 6401/6421/6400? Preferably with a worn out P&C? I've had a oem 7900 P&C for my 6401 sitting on the shelf, but the saw just keeps on going! Would like to build one up. Seems all the cheap used makitas have disappeared in my area.

I think lineX would hold up fine, I've seen a number of steps coated with it and no problems after years of use off road. It's soft enough that the sand being kicked up won't wear it down, just absorbed the impact.

The camera came today, seems to work pretty good, one thing I was surprised by was how warm Gfi outlets are!

Oh that's much easier, I thought you meant it ate into the clutch drum after the drive rim broke.

SLE equipment has them for a decent price, I've ordered from them before, they usually have decent prices on Dolmar/Makita parts. https://sleequipment.com/products/957-223-092-makita-2022?srsltid=AfmBOooMsKBluRmxwzrbA8SpAPGEbyW9MBR67yH3mm4_RgwuwzJcLZaR

Just caught the end of the latest sale for 199, buddy and I both ordered one, can't wait to try it out!

Not a 3rd function, but I did a diverter setup for the front and added rear remotes which run off the power beyond so would be the same lines as 3rd function. What are you having trouble with?

If you really want to have a nice weld on heavier material, there's gas shielded flux core wire (dual shield as Lincoln calls it). We use it a lot at the shop for structural, puts a lot of metal down fast!

Check cables and make sure they have a good connection, is there a main relay or breaker? Possibly a usable link?

If it's a standard flooded lead acid battery, 12.64 is considered fully charged, some agm and other types of batteries can be higher, but anything over 12.64 you should be good for a flooded batt. Not sure where some people pull their info from.

Didn't happen to buy that from a guy named Tony? Had an old neighbor who had that exact same setup.

Pretty common with the JD plastic body panels, even kept inside they will deteriorate over time. There are a lot of aftermarket body panels for that tractor, not sure they'd hold up any better, but are available. It's not unique to JD, Kubota tried plastic on one series of the BX, only lasted a...

Looked at a few different ones, but under the hydraulics, J43000 CONTROL VALVE shows the valve and where it attaches to the front trans case.

I usually check Messicks or Coleman for parts diagrams and to get an idea on pricing, but typically buy from my local dealer. Prices are typically within a couple of $'s and no shipping cost unless it's wholegoods.

Looking through the parts diagrams, it appears the control valve for the lift cylinder and the pressure relief is mounted to transmissions front case. Not sure if this could be where the leak is, but it's the only place I can see where the 2 systems connect together.

I believe that's the installed price, clutch components should only be about $600. It's not a fun job, just be carefull with your support/blocking when you split it. Is it a DT model?

I'm thinking about getting an older F650, best of both worlds. Cummins, Allison, good turning radius, air ride. Just hard to justify the added cost of driving a commercial vehicle.

It's for the 30in hyd. tiller, I found the parts breakdown.

I need one to use the landscape rake to pull things out when I'm doing cleanups and have the backhoe on. Also, I could see it being handy to move implements around and load/unload them on the trailer, especially awkward one that are hard to pickup with forks.

Vacuum collector maybe?

It could be 50, I remember it was at least close to 45° but it's been years since I looked into it. I sold my 550 about 15yrs ago.

I think those axles were about 3in wider and could turn close to 45°, way better than the earlier models.

They didn't, sorry thought we were still talking about the 550's.

They went to a wider front axle with a better turning radius, can't remember if it was at the same time they went to coils or not. If it has flares on the front fenders, it has the wider front axle.

You got that right, my old 2000 F550 had the worst turning radius of anything I've ever driven. Used to haul cars with someone else that was driving a 11car low fifth wheel. Was trying to follow him into a dealers lot, I couldn't make the turn, he didn't belive it until he saw it. If you know...

I'm about to do the same, $136! Darn

If it's an AMA top link it is most likely BSPP, I have two of them and a lock valve for one. They are all 3/8 BSPP

Diesel? If the rear tires were at 60 without a load it'll make it ride rough, if you look at the door tag there is usually a loaded and unloaded tire pressure for the rear. Still going to be a rougher ride then a 1/2 ton, but lowering the rear tire pressure helps a lot.

Not necessarily, there are a lot of 3600rpm liquid cooled units out there. My 25kw is 3600, uses a Mitsubishi 1.5L 4cyl, same engine that was put in the Mirage.

Agreed, however grsthegreat said that the water cooled was noisier then the air cooled.........

I'm kind of confused also, I had a 17kw air cooled previously and a 25kw water cooled that I'm about to install, the 25 is definitely quieter then the 17.

It shouldn't, however a lot of fast driving over rough ground or sharp turns in soft material, or striking something with the wheels turned can impart a lot of extra load on the spindle. Apparently, the original design was weak in the welded area, the replacment part was designed to be...

I have used all 3 styles, I liked the euro hooks the best since I have a lot of implements that would require a lot of involved modifications to fit a quick hitch. I also switch to a backhoe somewhat regularly, and the QH was one more thing to remove and install. If you can make all your...

I mean the replacment part for your model was changed to be stronger.

The B2x10 series tractors had known issues with the front hubs failing like that. I believe the replacement has more area to the weld.

Stafford close to the Fauquier line here.

Sounds like you are close to me. Going home now to refill the stove.

My commuter is a manual, I also have 2 vintage project cars that are both manual (not currently on the road). My truck is an auto, because my wife need to be able to drive it. And honestly I prefer it when backing up.

Cnc plasma table, was worried about having too much taper but turned out good.

And for me, something else I have to remove to put the backhoe on. Plus a lot of my attachments aren't QH compatible and not easily converted. I've had QH, Pats and the Euro hooks, Euro were the best for function for me, just need to repair them unfortunately [emoji53]

On the 9500lb on at work? No it's stock, just have extensions for oversized parts. I don't think there is much I could modify on a forklift safely, aside from cosmetics, and I like to customize my machines!

Pvc and cpvc degrades from uv and other environmental factors. Also, be careful. Some pressure ratings are for liquids, not gasses. There's a big difference in danger from 150psi air and 150psi liquid. I like the rapidair type systems, the coated aluminum tube is easy to install, light weight...

You can buy individual parts from Rapidair directly. I prefer the ridge pipe style Rapidair myself, but it is a bit more expensive. Avoid PVC, it works until it doesn't. It can fail pretty spectacularly, and be dangerous is someone is nearby. Iron or copper pipe is another option.

They are, I cut out new slides for the arms and welded the hooks to them.

Those aren't Pats, those are euro hook style ends. I have had Pats on another tractor, they were ok, but I like the euro style better.

They are just slip on extensions for when we need them, we also have a decent size tellahandler that we use them on when needed. Work we have a 3700lb, 4000lb, 9500lb and the tellehandler that I think is rated about 8000lbs depending on extension

Correct, they appeared to clear but apparently caught the tip of the hooks just enough to put a lot of leverage on it, also bent the 7/8 pins (in double shear). I plan on welding them back up one day, luckily I just cut out new sliding mounts for the euro hooks, so I was able to put my stock...

Blade was already hooked up, I dropped the scarifiers and apparently it interfered just enough that while operating the bar stressed the tip of the hhooks. To be clear, the balls were fully seated and locked into the hooks at the time.

This is the box blade, I think if I ground the tips of the hook a little it wouldn't have happened. Maybe if I had gone with the Cat 1 instead of the 1/2 it probably wouldn't have been an issue.

Was using them with my box blade that has drop down scrarifiers. Apparently, the bar interferes with the very tip of the hooks just enough to put pressure on them, and in the process of trying to get them locked it stressed the hooks enough to break them. This was on a Kubota L3240, just shy of...

I liked mine, unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy them long before my box blade broke them.

We have a set of extensions on the 10k forklift at work, made out of channel and flat bar for the straps and some square stock bent at the back to help hold them on. The 3pt mounted forklift should be good for about 1500lbs so still pretty capable. I also use my forklift for maintenance and...

It is perspective, that picture does make them look longer. It weighs about 9k total. I do have an old 3 stage mast from an electric forklift we scrapped at work, planning on making that into a 3pt setup for the tractor. Won't have the loft capacity but will have the height at least!

I managed to pick up a 5k diesel forklift a few years ago off marketplace for $1500, if you look constantly and are able to respond quickly you can find some decent deals. This one needed the hyd pump resealed (was leaking into the crankcase) and the guy didn't want/know how to fix it. Only...

I think he might be looking at the loader only version of the L47 by accident, they are low 50's msrp, so high 40's might be right. Backhoe version bumps that up about 16k I think.

Bucket cylinder is re-packed and backhoe is back together, while I was picking up the seals for the bucket cylinder I grabbed a set for the boom as well (the dipper and boom use the same seals). Figured I'd be ready for when the boom finally let's go. I'm sure the swing cylinders are not far...

The adhesive that holds the linings onto the shoes will fail when they get old. The brake assemblies are just the complete backing assemblies. The drum/hubs are probably fine as long as they are in spec and not major grooving on the braking surface or magnet surface.

Well, at least the nice part about 3d printers is I already have the file, so I just print another one out with a different material if it fails!

It should have a neutral, I know my dad's BX1500 does.

These leaks are most likely due to age, it originally came from a gov. auction and appears to have not been used much.

My understanding was the pla+ was slightly better at UV resistance (compared to pla). I'm surprised ABS is a problem as it's used pretty regularly outside. Haven't had temp issues with pla+ so far.

Agree, but I didn't have control over that for most of its life. The larger run in storage should be up sometime next year hopefully

Look good, what filiment are you using? I'm trying pla+ for tractor parts right now. If they don't hold up I have ABS to try. What are you using for design software? I had been using the budget Solidworks but not real happy with it.

Is it a threaded or wire retained gland?

Put the backhoe on the tractor to replace a culvert a couple weeks ago, immediately had fluid coming out the dipper cylinder. No big deal, pulled it appart and took it to the local shop to get all the seals. Finally got it back together over the weekend, used it for about 10min and the bucket...

If yours is anything like mine the other brake assemblies aren't far behind, I found it cheaper to replace the whole brake assemblies on 7k and lighter axles and just clean up the drums if still in spec.

Glad it was an easy fix!

Make sure the range selector is actually in gear. I bought a B7200hst a few years ago that would randomly lose all motion, everyone thought it was an HST problem but ended up being a broken shift fork for the range selector letting the gear slide back and forth in and out of neutral.

Last time I had a wheel lock up it was due to one shoe lining coming lose and wedging between the other shoe and drum.

Thanks, not sure what the market would be for these, Im going to see how it holds up this leaf season and make adjustments if necessary.

I finally wired up the diverter valve, only took about 3.5years. I was able to design and print a button mount that attaches to the lever. The button is a push to lock/push to unlock and has an indicator that lights up when activated. I hid the relay and all other wiring under the range...

I wanted to be able to hook up my vac to the ZD for leaf cleanup this year, normally the Wheel Horse 520H handles leaf pickup but I wanted to be able to use both in case the old 520 goes down. I've been extremely busy but finally got time to cut out and weld up a hitch, we'll see how well it...

Supprised to see that, I've had Nitto terra grappler's on both my 2500 ram and on my wife's lifted Land Rover when she had it, never had any problems with them. The truck was used to tow regularly and went through 2 sets without problem. The last tire change I went a little more aggressive and...

I work with ar400 and Hardox450, I would look for the Hardox 450 over the AR400 if possible. The hardox is a little stronger and more formable then ar400. A36 requires a thicker parts to be strong enough to hold up and A36 has a wide range to their specs. Grade 80 is a good option but will...

Did your narrower frame trailer have any sway control and what was the deck length? I've found that has more of an effect on the stability then the frame width. One nice thing I didn't think of when going to the singles was the narrower track width keeps me from dropping a wheel of the...

There are changes in the bracing for the metal panel over the tires and the spare mount between the dual and SS models, so there are some manufacturing differences. I prefer the 235 but the 215 is perfectly fine for 7k axles if you want the low profile. Having pulled this trailer back to back...

For the 8k axles, the 10&12k axles are all the same width whether duals or SS. At least for Diamond C

I have a Diamond C trailer that I converted to singles, they do sit in a little, and I thought they looked weird at first, but no issues with stability. The factory SS model use the same frame and axles as the dual wheel models. I also had a 10ton tag trailer that had a narrower frame that I...

And don't forget lapping them in once everything is ground and adjusted........

That would be correct, however I don't really mow for other people anymore and I'm only mowing about 2acres of personal lawn. The ZD331 was mainly for the better cutting deck and the collector that can be dumped from the seat. I sold my ZD326 as the 6in hose for the collection system clogged too...

Some people just don't have the time to mess with older equipment, I use to buy older equipment and repair it. In the last few years I just don't have the time to dedicate to older equipment. Case in point, I just bought a gooseneck trailer instead of fixing up/modifying the trailer I have. I...

Exactly, they are maintence hogs, not to mention you'll need either a connection for someone with a reel grinder or buy one which is expensive.

Could be, but its not uncommon for people to not know what they have with these comercial mowers. Most likely has a Kubota engine and they were offered in 4wd. Price is decent but not crazy low. I'd say worth a try.

In my area that would be a pretty decent price, my 331 has just under 1k hrs right now and I've been debating on trying to sell or trade for a BX to mow with. I figured mine with the collector should be worth $10-12k

Also depends on blade type or hammers and material being cut. Hammers take some power to keep spinning.

Yes, z axis/height control is a must. At home I use a table I built using a Precision Plasma HD7 gantry and a HT pm85 (previously a 105). At work I have Koike Aronson with a MaxPro200 and tube cutter.

Go with the 48 unless you are only cutting light grass. I have an AGL165 which is 65in wide with 25hp at the pto and have to slow down a lot if I hit tall or thick grass.

What model/size Shop Sabre are you running?

I have a 15ft open center deck car trailer that I converted to a full deck equipment trailer. The axles were almost centered (enough that you didn't need a tongue jack on level ground) and was miserable to tow empty and hard to load correctly. I ended up adding 3ft to the front of the trailer...

Funny you mention it, I have a rake also...... I just bought it for the hyd components, doesn't have an engine.

I have an almost identical Jacobson fairway mower with a Kubota V1305 in it, I find the commercial reel mowers don't hold their value once they get older. Many times old courses or governments sell them off pretty cheap. I bought my Jacobson years ago for $150 from a golf course that was...

I always wondered why that dealer closed, I don't have any M-F equipment but was sad to see another old dealer close down. I'm happy that it has been revived. I don't drive that way regularly but seems they have a pretty good inventory on the lot lately, hope that means they are doing well!

I have 2 of the Berger clamps I bought a number of years ago. They are actually pretty decent, not as nice as my Strong hands or Bessy, but for the money they have held up well. I figured if I needed to abuse or modify a clamp it would be easier on me mentally to do it to a cheaper one.

I bought the blade used with the tailwheel already on it. I believe it is a for a 35 series that would have bolted on but is welded to mine since the 40 series doesn't have the mounting points. I plan on redoing it as it could use some improvement. I do have a new laminated wheel and fork for...

Nice job, I really like my Land Pride blade, I have an RBT4084. I need to redo the tail wheel and I have a cylinder to make the offset hyd. also. Hydraulic controls on a rear blade are a game changer for sure!

I own a couple 300cuft tanks, use to get them refilled at Airgas but the only good employee moved to Arc3 so I go there now. Airgas would just exchange my owned tanks where as Arc3 will send them out to get filled. Arcet merged with the Machine and Welding company in 2013 to become Arc3 You...

I think I recognize that area, probably live pretty close. If he decides to piecemeal it I see a few things I'm interested in. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

The lt1050 typically had Courage SV720 on them, but that looks like a Command to me. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I'm actually pretty happy with my '07 Ram 2500 interior, holds up way better then my '00 2500. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

The best truck I ever owned was my 05 F650 rollback. Pretty much the only Ford part of it was the cab/interior! International joint venture chassis, Cummins engine, Allison trans, Dana rear........... Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Not overly complicated, my buddy has a set for his Kubota M4-71 and likes them, I moved them around with my smaller Kubota L3240 and they were fine but I lost a little capacity because they sit out further and weigh a little more then my standard forks. No linkage and they stay in sync...

I prefer airbags, I can adjust from empty to loaded and maintain my ride, handling and level. I would recommend not using a T between the bags as separating them helps with side to side roll. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Yes, unless it's locked. I remember my dads work years ago had one of their semi trucks almost totaled by a backhoe boom that wasn't secured and swung to the side. They were on the hwy and took a turn side by side. Totaled the whole cab/front-end and did some engine damage. Sent from my...

A lot of those trailers were rated for 5-6k tongue weight, I have a dual tandem tag that is rated for about 5800lbs tongue weight. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I just saw one in the past couple years, not something I would do but didn't look like the first time he's done it. Not legal, though, as the boom is supposed to be secured. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

That trailer was made for hauling taller wheeled equipment, you can see the "traction" bars welded to the old wells for the tires. A couple farmers around here have rollbacks with similar wells to lower transport heights for their tractors. The 14.5 Dayton wheels were pretty common on low pro...

If it's on your L4060 then you'll be fine, it should be at the same relief pressure as my L3240. Unless you're changing the geometry from how mine is connected it'll stall a 1" bore cylinder before damage. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

You could use a double selector valve also https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200335627_200335627 There are some other styles such as rotary but this seems to be the most affordable I've found. I have one that I'm putting on my rear blade for the gauge wheel. As for the pressure...

I used a 1x8 cylinder and lengthened it, the guard was added to protect the rod. You can kind of see the cylinder retracted without the guard and paint. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

A powered QA is really nice, I just finally finished a hyd. version on my L3240. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

What are the hrs on it? Have you checked compression and valve lash? Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

It does, I'm familiar with Kubota backhoes and there doesn't appear to be anything for the seat to catch on unless something goes really out of line. That's why I was curious what the seat could catch on in this case, hopefully by identifying what happened a repeat can be prevented! Luckily...

I'm not familiar with the 2025r backhoe setup, just curious how the seat mount can get broken while dismounting it? Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Yes I'm familiar with the wheel setup diagrams for both the L3560 and L3240, neither show overall width. That's why I asked you if you could show me how yours was set up since there doesn't appear to be any way to get narrower then 70in with the R4's from my experiences. Sorry I upset you, but...

Any pictures of how yours was configured, all the manuals give are track width not overall width. Here's my L3240 which uses the same tires, wheels and rear axle as the L3560. As you can see the fenders prevent going any narrower and the outside width is 70in. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using...

Can you show me where the outside to outside on the R4 is 62in, because the narrowest I've been able to get was 70in (Real life, not copy and pasting tractordata). Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Go for the 6ft box blade, it will actually cover your tires, the actual width outside to outside of the rear tires will be around 70in for R4's at their narrowest setting. I have a L3240 with a heavy 78" box blade and with fluid filled r4's it pulls it just fine. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using...

I've rebuilt a few lathes and mills for personal use, these days I need to work with the equipment more then work on it. My personal shop makes a little side money but mostly it's for personal use. Company's shop is a different story! Hopefully I'll be building a new 45x63 shop soon, just moved...

A couple people referred to as a mill, just wanted to share my observation. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Looks like a vertical turret lathe to me, you'd be surprised how many people out there restore vintage machinery for personal use. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I have the Chief and Baxter air tools also, I think part of the better quality is they are made in Taiwan instead of China, seems to be a little more pride with Taiwan. They also are capable of much better casting, especially om machine tools. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I have the serial data port on my cmc plasma setup at home so the program sets the amperage on the plasma automatically, still have to change consumables of course. The MaxPro at work does not have that ability and you have to change the amp manually, more then once I've changed the torch side...

When I was looking for a 7in grinder I found a made in Germany model of Bosch, haven't used it a lot but seems really well built. I also have an older Bosch 4.5in that's made in China, so far its held up well. I do prefer to buy things made outside of China when possible. Sent from my...

Agreed, all my current plasmas are Hypertherm after having some other cheaper brands in the past. Currently have a Powermax 45, 85 and 105 (the 105 is for sale) at home, at work I have a PM45, 105 and a MaxPro200. I was curious what you had since non of the Hypertherm models I'm familiar with...

What model HT are you using that can sense material thickness? Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I had a quick attach on my homemade backhoe, the pin for the bucket was notorious for disappearing, never found a pin that would stay. I can tell you a standard lynch pin would dissappear randomly. Being on the pin boss may help in your situation. If you can find one that fits tight enough and...

I was in federal law enforcement for 13years and have family and friends in many branches of federal and local agencies and law enforcement. This is something that is not used, the cost to insert rfid into cash and then try to track it would be extremely high and impractical. Not to mention...

Hard to say on that one, was the area part of their extended jurisdiction? You only need reasonable suspicion for a traffic stop, not probably cause. Vehicle search criteria has changed in the last 10years, use have less requirements, if thet were traveling to purchase drugs illegally then that...

First, there is no law against carrying large sums of cash, the 10k threshold is the reporting amount when bringing cash into the country or receiving a cash payment. The confiscation of cash is very rare and there has to be a reason behind it as in connected to illicit activity and with that...
