I se 2 of these for sale locally by the same seller (used). An SC-25 and a SC-50. $2500 each. The sc-50 is old; 2-digit serial number from 20 years ago. The sc-25 is newer, maybe 10 years old. I have a LS U5030 with 48hp at the PTO, so I naturally gravitate toward the larger sc-50. My...

O.K., I have a Alamo SH88 flail mower I bought at an equipment auction last year. The rear roller was a little stiff so I bought new bearings and housings (Flailmaster cat # M-703976). On one of them, I just cannot get any grease into it at all. With the bearing out, I can shoot it in there...

Near as I can tell, the Ford scoop knives are the same width as the lighter Mott side slicer. So I don't think I need to move the mounting stations to overlap, unless I'm missing something.

O.K., I searched through the mega thread but didn't find what I was looking for. I just got a Mott "Hammer Knife Mower" 88". Not in the greatest shape, but it works. Missing some knives. It has the 2 "Almost an L" type blades that hang from a shackle. I have some Ford "duckfoot-T" blades for my...

Just grabbed this locally. Never had one, never used one. Is there a downloadable manual somewhere? How about a general flail mower use fact sheet?

I *might* have found the problem. Last night I found a schematic online for the Zexel pump. It showed a screen at the inlet line. Pulled it this morning. It was pretty well clogged: almost to the point of not being able to see light through it. I blew it out with air (hold tighter next time so I...

This is the pump. Zexel. This is a diagram of the fuel flow. The only filter I see is the main one. No screen in the tank. There is no fuel shut-off because the tank is lower than the filter and pump. I'm not at all familiar with injector pumps, so I don't know if there is an inlet screen or...

My U5030 (310 hrs) has been running odd. Starts up no problem and runs fine for a while. When it gets warm, after a 1/2 hour or so, the rpm's are limited to about 1500-1700 or so. Won't rev beyond that. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so, and I can go back to 2000 (which is about where I run it for...

Went to pop the hood to clean my air filter and it won't open. The release cable feels like its working, but the hood remains latched. Pretty frustrating, to say the least. Any ideas on how to get this thing open?

Finally built a new bridge beefy enough to get my U5030 across. Cruised for the straightest hemlocks I had out back. 32 feet long. Planked with 3x8 hemlock.

I had an old Fransgard. Worked well, but the cable was about done by the time I became it's owner. I snapped it maybe 5 times. There was never any "whip" to it: it just retracted maybe 6 feet and laid down. Good thing, because that old Fransgard never had a protection screen. I replaced it...

My attempt at basically the same thing:

I'm kind of lucky with this model tractor as the remote levers are very close to the loader joystick: The Green one will be my control.

What I like about it (without using it yet) is how high it lifts for skidding out: That's a full 2 feet of lift. My other one might have been 14" or so. Doesn't sound like much but that little bit makes the difference between butts scraping through the mud or riding high and dry.

Winch got delivered the other day. Haven't got a chance to use it yet because the snow is about 3' deep in the woods, but I think I'm going to like it. Sorry for the blurry phone photo. Came with three chokers too! She replaces this old quill:

AG fittings have a ball on the end don't they? These are the male ends from my loader hookup: They are 3/8, but what are they called? I'd assume they's use the same all the way around, but maybe not.

Thinking about getting a grapple. Any reason not to use my up-to-now unused rear remotes? Hose and fittings from NAPA and some way to run the lines down the loader? I've got a spare 8' snowplow blade that I want to hook up also, so need hydro out the end for 2 things. Never used those rear...

I don't know how I missed this thread. I got my deer just 5 minutes into a walk out to my game cam to change cards on opening day here in Maine. 206 lbs. He was a really healthy deer.

I really am not positive what brand it is. It's been painted in the past. I am leaning towards Fransgard.

I thought I had put these on here before, but if you insist:

Here is a pic of the stabilizer The pin is in the hole to give it a rigid attachment, but a 1/4 turn would enable me to use the slot, which would give the ends of the lift arms maybe 4" of sway.

I made a simple plywood scabbard similar to deiselcrawler and mounted it vertically on the cage for my front forks. About as simple as it gets.

I've looked about everywhere for an answer to this (operator manuals for both tractor and bush hog) but haven't found much of anything. My tractor, U5030, has stabilizer arms for the 3PT hitch lift arms with holes that can be pined to make it rigid, and long slots to make it have limited motion...

Hauled out a few cord yesterday for my neighbor. He just graduated high school and will be going to mechanic school this Fall. He's selling firewood to get some extra money, so I gave him a hand pulling out some trees. The only problem was I was the one hooking up the lines and he got to do...

I can get a mint 60's era Sears Super 12, but it doesn't have a mowing deck with it. Any others that will fit it?

I have an opportunity to trade into a concrete counterweight. Owner says it's roughly 1200lbs. Is that too much or too little for a 55hp tractor?

I just saw a used G3033 with FEL and backhoe for sale down the road from me. Told my buddy about and he's interested. The sign on it says it's a 2013 with 247 hrs, but it looks like it's had about 2000 on it. Rear tires (R1's) are all cut up on the tread lugs, front grill is all smashed up and...

I did it this way: Weld a 3/8" 2"x18" piece of steel in the middle to act as a strengthener. Then weld a couple of hooks to the outside of that. I wanted them nearer the middle. I'm thinking that lifting a heavy weight off to one side might tweak the loader arms.

My method of getting it down to the basement where the wood furnace is has just gotten easier: First, I got a new tractor. LS U5030. Then, after I got a set of pallet forks from Titan, I built a carrier out of a good pallet. I narrowed it down to 30" because my bulkhead stairs are 36" wide...

Was out this morning on the new U5030 and had a problem. I'm still playing around with all the features and pushing all the buttons. I have my logging winch on the back for a little ballast weight. I turned on the pto switch, it turned for about 5-10 seconds then stopped and the transmission oil...

I recently bought this logging winch from a guy down the road. I'm at least the 3rd owner. Was wondering who made it. I did a google search and thought it looked like an old Fransgard, but another guy around here was familiar with it and said it was a Farmi. It's probably been painted and I...

She got delivered today. Thanks to all who offered info.

I've now decided my next tractor will be a LS. The wife is even on board. I'm either getting the R4047 for $22250, or the U5030 for $27500. On all honesty, I know the 4047 will do everything I need, no problem. But, I really like the self-leveling bucket, larger fuel tank, of the 5030. The...

I think I'm in the market for a basic 4WD tractor with loader in the 45-55HP range. Use will be mostly bush-hogging and logging/firewood woods work. It seems if I go to any of the brand specific forums with comments, I'll just get answers from satisfied owners, and not much criticisms. That's...

I looked at a couple of tractors today. One was a Mahindra 5010 (geared) with loader for $24,900 (cash or financing). This one had a Tier 3 motor, which I think is a good thing? I liked the tractor a lot. When I get closer to a decision, I'll go back and drive it around (it was in the...

I was toying with the idea of a NH Workmaster 55 and then heard that LS K5055 is pretty darn close to being the same for a little less money. My questions: 1. Is the LS transmission a shuttle shift like the NH? 2. Any idea the price the bare-bones tractor plus FEL is going for these days...

Here's one I made. very similar to the OP's design. I opted for log tongs and a couple of grab hooks for chokers, but basically the same. Works great!

I made a rig for the back of my tractor. Add some tongs and couple of grab hooks and you can skid out just about anything. Before I made this, I borrowed a neighbors yellow boom-type deal and bent it. Too much length out there. This year, I found an old Fransgard winch locally for cheap...

My clutch pedal flops around some so I ordered a new clutch pedal bushing. Now how in **** do I remove that shaft that holds both the clutch and brake pedals? One end or the other must come off somehow and then slide it out. I can't figure it. Thanks.

I've got a Long 460 with a Long FEL. It's got two levers for operation, which works, but it's a pain compared to my neighbor's JD that has just one lever. I'd like to convert mine to be like his, if it's feasible money-wise. What and where should I be looking for? My two-lever control has 6...

Hello, new here. Been asking Long questions on other forums with no luck. Was referred here. Here goes: I want an OWNERS manual for my Long 460 DT. I can't find one for it, but I can find one for the 360, 510, and 560. Which one of those would be closest (in owners manual content) to my 460? I'd...
