Hello I just finished changing the transmission oil and filters on my B7800. The manual states that the transmission capacity is 14.5 litres. I drained it from the 4 locations noted in the manual and emptied the filters into my drain bucket and only got 12 litres. When I filled it back up with...

Based on some posts I've read I asked my dealer if he could get me some 2 link ladder chains for my 12.4x16 R4's. He said that the chains were 7/32", but when I looked on tirechains.com it appeared that theirs are 3/8". Just to make sure I'm comparing apples to apples, I wanted to find out what...

I was thinking of getting a set of tire chains for my B7800 this winter. I've noticed at the local rink that the studs in the Zamboni tires really chew up the cement floor, and was just wondering if anybody had experienced damage to their garage floor fom driving in with the tire chains on. Thanks.

A couple of months ago I was caught up on projects so I lent my tractor to a friend who had some work to do fixing up his barn and getting it ready for horses. Since he brought the tractor back last night I thought I'd use the hoe instead of a shovel to pop out a rock that I kept hitting with...

When I bought my B7800, I had the dealer reinforce the top lip of the bucket with angle iron and weld on a couple of hooks. The hooks are close to the bucket edge which is good for strength but not always the best spot for lifting. I was going to weld on some more hooks but couldn't decide where...

I'm just starting to think about getting a backhoe.Don't really need one but I have a few trenching/drainage jobs I want to do and could probably find more games to play with it once I got it. The Woods BH6000 seems reasonably priced, but their literature shows it mounted on some smaller (like...

The other day I was backing up to connect the 3pt hitch and there was a hollow in the ground just short of where I had to stop.Every time I got to the right spot the tractor would roll back while I was getting my foot from the hydro pedal to the brake. I ended up cramming both my feet over to...

Well, I've had my B7800 for about 2 1/2 months now and put on 17 hours( of which about 20% is warmup time) mostly loader and cleanup work which it has done very well. Our recent snowfall has given me the first opportunity to use the PTO (on my used 60" rear snowblower). I noticed that as I get...

I noticed that when I had the ballast box on (about 500 pounds) the 3pt hitch seemed to be slowly lowering down on its own.I checked and found that when everything was warm and at operating temperature it would drop 2 inches per hour (measured at the lift pins).When cold, about 1/2" per hour...

I just picked up a used 3pt 5ft snowblower to put on my B7800 and thought I might as well take this opportunity while I'm waiting for it to snow to get some information on using it. i)do you let it right down so the weight of it is on the ground, or do you keep it up off the ground a bit and if...

Here's what I came up with for holding the 3pt hitch arms apart when backing up to an implement. I got 2 old pieces of fishing rod(1 piece wasn't stiff enough) and taped them together side by side with electrical tape, then put a small cable clamp on about 3/4" from each end. The ends fit into...

Here is something I made to make using the 3Pt hitch easier.It is really cheap and easy to make.It consists of a small metal box which houses a tape measure. A piece of string fastened to the end of the tape measure passes through a couple of small eye bolts, and a small clip on the end of the...

When I park my B7800 on a level floor the bucket sits about 7/8" higher on one side than the other. I've read about this problem on LA403's but not 402's so I'm thinking there's a simple answer.I checked that the floor is actually level and flat as well as the inflation of the tires.What I...

Hello I spent hours on this site looking at old discussions while deciding which tractor to buy. Thanks to everyone for all the useful information.I tried to post a couple of times before but it just signed me off so I'm not going to write too much until I find out if this works.(Tractor is a...
