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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. $$$$$$$$$$

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...
\"Making Little Ones of of Big Ones\"
I am in need of the TBN expert's assistance in the best & most efficent way to break up numerous large stones & boulders on my property. I have an L-39 TLB with an Anbo grapple. This has saved my back from premature damage, but some stones are too big to...
At 52 hrs. I started to do the service on my L-39.
I started up the tractor, pulled forward, and followed the procedure to remove the backhoe. In less than 5 minutes, I was unhooked. I shut off the tractor, removed the hoses.
I attempted to start the tractor, saw the intellapanel display, heard...
Christmas came today for me, as I picked up my ANBO grapple mounted on my L-39
I used the W.R. LONG valve kit to operate the grapple. It works smooth & strong. I tried it out this evening moving rocks & stumps and it was fantastic. I'll attach some photo's

I just completed a project that I think TBN'ers can use.
I was at my local dump scanning the scrap metal piles, and for $10.00 & 2 hours time, made a sturdy welding table.
The table top is an old storm drain grate. The legs are 3/8" x 2" angle. The cross pieces are 1 1/4" square bar stock.

Today, after using the backhoe to lift and lower 10+ granite steps for an exterior stairway, it's clear that wrapping the chain around the bucket, is not the best method of chain attachment.
For those of you with backhoes, where have you attached chain hooks or D-rings to your buckets?
Thanks...
A question for those of you whose tractors fuel fill is on top of the tractors hood. My L-39 has this "new to me" set-up. With fuel @ $2.50 gallon, I hate spilling fuel down the hood & sides from a 5 gallon can.
I am wondering what you folks use to fuel, if you don't have access to a pump &...
After an hour of trying to attach a sketch and photo to my post, I admit defeat. I read the FAQ, trying PIXresizer and still no luck.

ANY L-39\'S ARRIVED AT YOUR LOCAL CT.-MA. DEALER??
After reading the posts of the first TBN'ers to receive their L-39 TLB'S, I'm anxious to see one in person. Anyone in the CT.-MASS. area who has spotted an L-39 at their local dealer, please reply with the dealer name & address.

I have a general question regarding combined chain strength.
I hope to be purchasing a larger TLB and want to keep it on the trailer, until I'm ready to unload it !!!!
Here is the scenario, using Two (2) chains to bind the load: If the tractor weights 7000 lbs., does each chain need to be rated...
I am in the process of creating a lawn around my house. In parts of the lawn, I would like the ability to have vehicle traffic, without the assorted ruts, mud etc.

I thought I would share with the group an incident that happened to me, and how to prevent future occurences.

While looking for a prospective job site, I came across a used harley rake, model T-5 (5 foot). The owner was closing a landscape business, and wants $1750.00. The unit is about 10 years old, but appears to be well-maintained. This unit has the smooth bottom rollers, not the studded type.
