Anyone heard of this welder? I haven't found anything online. I believe it was built in 1995 from a tag on it. It's a model 2234, has Hi and Low plugs for AC and DC. Has the hand crank on top for setting the amps. Came with 40' lead with clamp for ground and a 48' lead with stinger. I saw it at...

I logged in (actually the classified section recognized me) Entered all description info required where I could. Wanted to list a trailer for sale. There is no section for equipment trailers so I chose construction equipment other. Added all my pictures. Clicked on submit and TBN kicks it back...

Finally got around to filling my rear tires. I put 39 gallons of -20 degree windshield washer fluid in each. At 7 lbs per gallon that added about 546 lbs. more ballast. I filled each tire until fluid came out with the stem in the 11 O'clock position. That should be 75-80 percent. The tire...

I am considering replacing my 7K 20' tilt bed trailer with a 10-15K 20-22' tilt bed. The 7K always has done a great job. Just replaced all 4 rims, tires, brakes, bearings last fall. Since I bought a new tractor in Feb. I am now at the 7K trailers maximum capacity. Actually I am probably a little...

I just found out today it is against the law to have your trailer hitch in the receiver when not towing a trailer. Local and State PD are issuing tickets if they see your truck on the road with a hitch in the receiver. There is also a big push this month for pulling over all trucks towing...

I'll post this here instead of the hydraulics forum because it pertains to my LSXR3037HC. Anyone know what the flow rate is for the rear remotes? It's probably the same as the R series. I can't find anything in the owners or service manual other than the relief valve setting pressure. I already...

Well, new to me. Found a good deal on CL for a PHD. Went to look at it. Gearbox felt nice and tight, no slop. But frame has seen some abuse. Auger is the heavy duty 9" double flight but shear bolts are wrong size and bent. Boom adjust holes are all oblong. Lift pins are loose. PTO shaft yokes...

I posted this in the Attachments forum but figured I'd post here too since they'll be used on my LS. Picked up a 6' King Kutter box blade and a Ford 917A Flail mower today. A couple had them for sale about 15 miles from me. I had stopped last week to look and made an offer. Today, after removing...

Removed a dead tree this morning. Didn't want it to fall in the road during a storm. We had 60 MPH winds during a storm the other day. Pulled it down with a cable hooked to the tractor. After the mess was cleaned up I got a call from a couple selling a 6' box blade and a Ford Flail mower that I...

Finished installing my thumb. See all the pics in the Attachments thread post Added a thumb.

I finally ordered and received a Thumb for using on my bucket and forks. I bought it from Greensmachine. I got the 36" model but they have shorter ones. I also bought 2 thumb base plates. One for the forks and one for the bucket. So, here's the pics over the past couple days. 1-9 Test fitting...

Just posted a bunch of pics in the trailer & transportation thread. Check them out when you can. George

Just picked up my new trailer. It's made by Cross Country Mfg. here in NY. It's a model 616DT8LP. Has a 16' long bed, 80" wide, 20" high sides. GVWR is 13,800. Empty weight is 3300 lb. load capacity is 10,500 lb. Standard features include EZ lube axles, 7K tongue jack, Brakes on both axles...

It just started a few days ago. When I click on the thread it takes me to the first page (399 of 399) instead of the newest post first. Seems to be the only thread that is doing it. I have my general settings set to linear newest first. Anyone else have this going on? Also have the same problem...

I'm considering loading my rear tires with washer fluid. They will require about 35 gallons each for an approximate weight of 280 lb per tire. (560 lbs for both) My local NAPA store sells windshield washer concentrate in 32 oz bottles for $1.99 per their site. Each 32 oz. bottle makes 15...

What's the deal with LS Tractor. It seems they have removed or blocked access to all sites that used to let you look up LS tractor parts online. Of course none of them had parts manuals for the new XR series but they did have them for C,S,G,I,J,R,U,and P series. What's the harm in letting owners...

Well, I picked up a new set of forks the other day. I got mine locally from a skid steer place. I would have bought a set from Titan Attachments but these were same price and didn't have to wait. Used them to unload a 6' landscape rake I borrowed from a trailer. Mine are rated for 5K which is...

I posted this in attachments but figured I'd ask the LS owners if anyone is using a BB wider than the rear tracks. I have a chance to pick up a slightly used Woods HB 84 box blade. It still looks new and has all the stickers on it but I have a question. My owners manual recommends a 66" for a...

I have a chance to pick up a slightly used Woods HB 84 box blade. It still looks new and has all the stickers on it but I have a question. My owners manual recommends a 66" for a BB. Does anyone think an 84" will be too much or should I continue looking for a 66". Tractor is an LS XR3037HC...

Was going to post an ad but can't access Post New Thread normally at top of page. It works here but not there. What's up?

I've read quite a few posts on Majic brand paint available at TSC. Majority of posts relate to using Majic from quart or gallon cans, proper thinning, how it goes on using a spray gun etc. I thought I'd try a few spray cans of Majic. Normally I use Rustoleum or Ditzler automotive spray cans with...

I'm looking for a set of chains for my rear tires for snow plowing. Tire size is 43x16-20 R4's. Tirechains.com has a V-bar for about $330 with shipping. Ladder style with 3/8" cross link are about $50 less. On my previous tractor I had Road Boss ladder style with 3/8" cross links and they seemed...

I made some additions to my XR3037HC. 1. Installed an AM/FM/CD/ Bluetooth radio 2. Ran a new circuit from fuse box up through roof to other side and installed 2 rocker switches (1 for rear work light, 1 for future side alley lights) 3. Made a new light bar for the front and attached to mirror...

This morning I got about 3 hours of seat time moving snow at a vacant property I'm selling. I had not plowed there in a couple weeks so snow was about 1 1/2' deep. The LS handled the job with no problem. When I got home this afternoon I installed some light brackets I made a few days ago and...

Anyone have another source for parts manuals? I found an LS site in Canada that has some manuals available for download but their listing for my XR3037HC parts manual download is actually for a G3033 not the XR3037. I Emailed them about this discrepancy, hopefully they will correct the listing...

On Sunday I sold my 4x4 dump truck with 9' plow. On Tuesday I sold my Mahindra 2615HST. That left me with nothing to plow with. Last week they had a Farm Show at the fairgrounds on Thur. Fri. and Sat. I went on Saturday and looked at lots of tractors. The LS made quite an impression. Made lots...

Well, new to me. I just picked up a used 2004 Chevy 3500 dump truck 4x4 with a 9' western plow. The 6.0 and automatic runs well. The truck has 58,000 miles. Dump box has no rust and entire truck has been undercoated heavily. This past weekend I kept busy. On Saturday I did the usual clean up...

It says its made of forged steel. Has the name Gray on it. PH70 is on the handle. Canada on the handle. Handle extends as if used for leverage. Jaw opens as if used to pull with but only about a half inch. Jaws are about a quarter inch wide.

Here's a few pics I took at this past weekends truck show at the NYS Fairgrounds. There were quite a few but I thought these were unique. One used to be an old IH crew cab state truck. Now has a modern computerized Detroit diesel, lots of chrome and LED'S. Second is a ford P/U with a 4 cyl...

I've been looking for a cab for my 2615 for a while. Most cabs I saw online were too costly ($1500 and up). I recently did a search and found a cab that is listed to fit a 2816. Another cab company claims their cab fits a 2615, 2816, and 3015 so I looked at the picture of the 2816 tractor with...

Anyone know what kind of spider this is? It had built a web on my front porch between the porch light and the front door. From top leg to bottom leg it was about 3 plus inches. The siding behind it is 4". The main body was larger than my thumb.

After reading Dodge mans thread I thought I'd post mine as well. I had 2 lease vehicles, an 07 Chevy Impala and an 07 2500HD Ext Cab w/ Duramax. The leases expired about 4 months apart and can't right them off on taxes so I turned them in rather than do the buy out. I didn't need a 3/4T truck...

Just bought my new to me ride on Thursday. Turned in an 07 3/4T Ext. cab 8' box w/ Dmax and Allison I was leasing. Its an 08 1500 Ext cab 4x4 LT. Has the 5.3 and 4 spd. auto, limited slip w/ 3.73 in dark cherry metallic. Loaded with options to numerous to list and only 17K miles. Rated to tow...

Built my own tractor refueling station this weekend. Its a 15 gallon plastic barrel with an automotive type electric fuel pump powered by a small trailer battery. I got tired of holding a 5 gallon jug almost 5' in the air to reach the tractor tank. And since my tractor tank holds 8 gallons I'd...

Rather than hi-jack MrZuckerman's thread I decided to post my own Pole Barn Progress. This is a 16' x 32' pole barn addition added to the back of my existing garage. I was limited to the size I could build since my property elevation slopes down 50' about 10-15' behind the new barn. I couldn't...

Well, it sure feels good. Just mailed off my last payment. Own her free and clear now.

Watch where you are going and watch for traffic. I read in this mornings paper that on Tuesday an 81 year old man who lived in the county adjacent to me was killed while removing snow. He was exiting his driveway on his JD tractor w/ snow blower and pulled into the path of an SUV. Snowy and...

Since I clear snow mostly on gravel driveways and got tired of spending more time changing shear pins than blowing snow I sold my 64" Puma 3 pt snow blower. Another lucky member here got a good deal. I mainly used it for weight on back anyway so now I needed to build a rear ballast weight. I...

Finally had to bite the bullet and buy a new shop compressor. My old one was a 5HP, 60 gal, 2 stage 120# max rated compressor I bought from Northern Tool (was called Northern Hydraulic back then) over 25 years ago. It served me well with annual compressor oil changes, one belt change, and one...

I did the 200 hour service today on my 2615HST. It wasn't too bad. Drained the trans, pulled and replaced the filters and refilled. Also drained and refilled the front axle. Changed engine oil and filter. Blew out air filter and replaced fuel filter. The only problem I had was during greasing...

I Had a hard time getting the tractor started yesterday. Cycled the glow plugs several times. Checked the fuel. Checked for voltage on the glow plugs, etc. It finally started after cranking several times. Did some driveway work. Had to rake the gravel (runner crush) back in the driveway from...

If you haven't done so already, check your battery and cable connections. Today was the test here. Temp got down to about 5 deg F last night. Two things happened. First, the 36 month old 60 month battery did not have enough cold cranking amps to spin it over very fast. Tried jump starting but...

Got some new tools for garage and tractor use. 12 Ton shop press 3 pt quick hitch 500A battery load tester 1/2" Impact gun with 625 ft lb. torque Set of double sided impact sockets sizes 17mm,19mm,21mm,3/4,13/16, & 7/8 The but comes into play with the quick hitch. It fit the tractor just...

Question: Is there an automatic timer that logs you off if no response is sensed? I keep getting logged off when I am typing my response to a question. (I'm a slow 2 finger typer) By the time I've typed my response then click to submit I get a message that says I'm not logged in. So I relog in...

Picked up a second trailer today. Its an 02 gooseneck rated at 12K. Has a 20' deck plus a 4' tail. It has the EZ lube hubs, new tires, chain tray, winch mount (no winch, gotta get another one). When the weather dries up I plan to add a couple pieces of 1/4" angle on top of the neck to mount the...

Picked up my new KK rotary mower today and assembled it late this afternoon. It's the 5' model with a 40HP gearbox. TSC had them on sale. While I was in a spending mood I also got an adjustable height Tri-Ball Hitch for towing various trailers. That has Chrome welded towing balls in 1 7/8" rated...

I have had a problem getting logged off without doing it myself. Once logged in I start reading the various posts. Eventually I come to one I'd like to reply to. I click on reply and the screen says I have to logged in to reply. I had not logged off so how did I get logged off? This has happened...

I see a lot of 2015's that have a BH but haven't seen any 2615's with one. I was not impressed with the 3710. Is anyone using any other beefier BH with subframe on there 2615?

Thought I'd post this lawn decoration since hunting season hasn't been too good here yet.

I see the review section seems to be working again so I have submitted a review of my 2615HST now 16 months old with just under 100 hrs. It should post in 24-48 hrs. My thanks to all those involved in the operation / running of this informative site. George

I've tried to post a tractor review a couple times since becoming a member. Each time I go to the review page it says Internal Server Error on the page. Clicking on add review , filling in info, etc. all seem to work but after submitting I never see it come up in the review section. Am I doing...

I saw MadReferee's post on these and thought I'd build my own. First pic is the channel I picked up at my local recycling yard.

Another pic

Has anyone purchased the 3710 backhoe or bought another brand for their 2615? George
