    L47 Transmission Oil Filter replacement

    Thanks rScotty and crashz for your replies! I think I'll try a combination of your two approaches: use the shop vac trick and pull the filter so that I can make sure threads are fine before swapping the new filter. It's actually the 600 hour service, which falls on the 200 hour schedule, so I'm...

    L47 Transmission Oil Filter replacement

    Good morning folks. I'm staying on top of my L47 service by the book, but the book is a little confusing on this one. The service manual says to replace the HST transmission oil filter every 200 hours and replacing the transmission fluid every 400 hours along with the two other hydraulic oil...

    Thanks everyone for the advice on spacing out the wheels. I finally received the 6" spacers from BORA and got them on my L47. Couldn't be happier - they definitely add confidence on the side slopes. Photo attached. As for the BT1000 backhoe manual, does anyone know where it's available...

    Traction New L47 owner questions: widening tires, thumb, brush hog

    Thanks everyone for the good advice. I contacted BORA and it seems they can make me a set of 6" spacers for the L47. Several of you suggested I check compatibility with the backhoe. Looking at it, it appears that +6" on the wheel spacing would not interfere. The stabilizer legs run at an...

    Hello everyone! I've been reading the forums for about a year, learning from you all and trying to decide on the right machine for our 200 acre farm: very hilly, 50-50% pasture and forest. Need the tractor for repairing & maintaing roads, timber work, digging foundations, and hauling all the...
