Well... for a 1710, you have the CB65. I know the teeth are bolt-on and I don't know if that changes the dimensions of the bucket at that juncture. In my case, grabbing the teeth snugly is the strength of the attachment, as it uses the structure and strength of the teeth as its own. I will...

Not surprised if you run fuel with ethanol there would eventually be a carb problem. Agreed with those citing the spark screen as another potential cause. I run a bit more oil in the mix than most and I have had a spark screen get plugged. But even though I run only non-ethanol 91 fuel in all...

Depends is not just a popular brand of adult diaper. What is the surface of the drive? Asphalt, gravel, dirt? The grade? Flat, sloping? Tires? Chains? Type of snow and average temperature? I have R4's with a sloping gravel drive. We get plenty of mostly powder snow, outside the very start and...

Yeah, they are targeting a demographic with a deep love for their tractors and money to burn. They turned me against Kubota. If there is this much room for "mods" there is lots of room for improvement on the Kubota. I went with a Massey and need almost no mods. That said, a step of some custom...

Yikes! I have only been welding - flux core - for about a year. Only a handful of projects, and my welds are already better than that. Although I've had a few (or more) that looked like this, I would never ask someone to pay for something as unacceptable as this. Best suggestion: Get it fixed...

Couple of things: to the OP, there is a fellow who makes all kinds of mods for the Kubota line of tractors. He has a step for that model I think. Here's the link: https://www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/bx-ez-on-step Someone above mentioned using their steering wheel as a grab handle. Don't...

For the weights I work with, the straps have been working fine. Any more than a couple hundred pounds, I would move to chains.

I have the Titan set (1500 lb) and only lift that 200-400 lb range. I love mine for their utility and quick mounting. The riser tubes at the bucket end of the forks are crucial to proper usage. Whether with square steel tube or just timber, when risers are used and secured (I use ratchet...

Earlier link/download was a different document, and did not have the 09/10 paint colour listing anywhere I could find. Thanks.

Downloaded to find my GC2410 is not listed. There is the GC2310, but not the frame color, which is the one I want...

No idea if anyone mentioned this (tl;dr), but those who move manufactured homes and site offices use dollies. Depending on the weight, that could be anything from tandem singles to HD tri-duallies. The dolly gets bolted to the frame and a hitch gets bolted to one end and away they go. OK...

Did someone say something about "grading?" Box-blade Friday. Looks like Saturday too..

Ah yes.. looks like you may have forgotten to harden the edge of that 1x4. ;) Hey, not only did this thing do a decent job of the ditches - especially as I was working out scooping technique in the process - but I was just extending some utility lines the other day, sewer and water, and the...

In terms of hours per year, I suppose it depends on what projects need doing, multiplied by the fraction of time you have available to operate the machine. I bought a 10 year old machine, used on a small lot by an older gentleman, with a total of 400 hours. I've owned it now 3 years and added...

Remember to thank Dad for the help, and remind him that "we'll call you" when/if more help is needed. I'm surprised it ran at all. Two different methods of ignition. Must have been a gas/diesel mix.

Well, the burning desire was to avoid mucking out the ditches with a shovel. I got the machine mostly to save my body. And to tackle much larger jobs without hiring a machine and operator. It just needs the right attachments. The newer CB65 BH has bolt-on teeth so a flat edge is possible with...

Cool mod!? Having watched larger machines carry/use an extra clean up bucket (smooth edge) and noticing how darn useful they are, I really wanted that function for my GC2410 TLB. So, after a few design iterations, I got myself a plasma cutter and made fabricating one my "test project." Keeping...

I paid for a new one of these, but just saw this email out of Agriterra in Alberta. They have a used but serviceable 2360 for under $1100 CDN. Located central AB, Canada. Here's the link: 4765104 | Agriterra Equipment Posting this because when I looked, finding a used one of these was very rare...

RadTech Innovations in Quebec make the QuickHitch and attachments for both MF and Kubota, NH also I think... I have the MF2410 TLB and also for the QuickHitch the MF2360 Snow Blower and the MF2330 Rotary Broom. I believe there is also a snow plow blade made for the same quick hitch. Their...

Everybody supplying a service wants to call it their "product," while those selling products want the monthly revenue of the service contract. And the roots of this move are in the software industry. Software features require continual research and development as the underlying computer...

A couple of years ago, a YouTube channel "Project Farm" tested very old oil - 70 years old - and found it held up fairly well. It might have less detergents and other additives, but should lubricate just fine.

Gotta love instant karma. And it had to be a small group of people all concluding this would be OK... ..or one total Einstein commanding hostages.

Interesting thread. I have a sub-compact TLB and the forces at work during operation need both the ballast and resistance that the 2000 lb tractor adds to the backhoe (900 lb) to get the job done. I wouldn't think a DIY rig would be very effective nor safe in any real digging operation. And yes...

I guess I learned when I was young from working with carpenters, that one non-mentally-present moment could cost your finger, hand or life. When I deal with mechanical force, in any way, I always stay mindful and as mentioned by others, complete the task - no loose ends. It means not rushing...

I ran a quick version of the Cost of Ownership on my little unit. Bought from a very light use original owner at 10 years old - @ 400 hrs - for 13K. Could sell today for at least 15K. But with the attachments, more like $20-25K. I put approx. 50 hrs/year so far, using for snow-clearing and...

I have a similar setup (see pics): 9K generator, 3.5' x 5' x 4' custom enclosure, wood-frame/plywood-clad, with cross-ventilation intake and louvered exhaust fan for heat. For the engine exhaust, I was able to get a piece of 2.5" exhaust pipe bent and flared to go over the exhaust exit on the...

I see some North Easterners willing to play fast and loose with sparks in the woods. Here in the west, we lose whole summers to just the choking smoke from fires that are hundreds or more miles away - and worse. Things that create spark in these parts are taken seriously, by more than lawyers...

Well, I can only hope she appreciates it. Sounds like about the right "interval" for older married couples. ;)

"most people don't know enough about batteries and electronics to service it themselves" Couple of things: ICE's break as they have a LOT of moving parts. Electric motors do not - either break nor have a lot of moving parts. In fact, they have ONE moving part. Any other system on an EV is the...

I'm a single page in to what is, at the moment, an interesting 43 page comment-fest. Who knows what I'll think by the end, but now I see everything from reality (wide adoption of technology takes longer than is usually forecast) to the fear-mongered: fad, no range, too expensive, have to replace...

I'm with the other owners here: the 2410 denotes a TLB and should be equipped with the rear subframe. As for the hydraulics, my BH takes 3 lines connected via hanging lines at the back of the tractor. When the BH is not in use, one line is capped and the other two are looped into each other. I...

So interesting to see someone in the exact spot I was in just 3 years ago. What fluids? from where? how much? when? (after first 50 h then every 100-250 hrs depending on filter/fluid.) Hopefully you got the owner's manual with the machine. It covers most basic things pretty well And you did the...

I've been in this spot - just not as deep in an engine - where the problem is happening now, the work-to-address-it is happening now and the user forum advice is just a part of the confirm/deny voices at play in the process. I don't understand why someone moving fast and looking for opinions on...

So many things to address, so little time... I mean, it's only a tractor cover, so no need to build the Hoover Dam, but on the ground (vertical force) you could have simply dug in 6" and put a couple of concrete pier bases on some gravel and you'd have prevented horizontal movement. Also, the...

Seems like this is just par-for-the-course with these convenience mounts. The trailers in the OP seem quite heavy for this type of mount. I have one (titan..) and only want to move a utility trailer (sometimes with a ton of material..) and a 15' runabout and my mount usually moves underway...

From memory, that memory of being a kid on the east coast shovelling driveways full of drifts, it was all white concrete on its way to solidifying. I don't recall the drifts being fluffy or light at all. I admit I have never plowed or cleared drifts. Here it is mostly powder snow and it falls in...

I guess everyone is different but I want my tractor and attachments to last for many, many years, so I take it easy on them. I usually do lifts every 4-6" or so. I've done as much as 16" in one go and the tractor is more than capable in powder, but if the snow is wet then I would not want to go...

Recent code allows up to 12 devices (lights or outlets) on the same 15A residential circuit. I'd start with a test light to identify the outlet devices on the same circuit. As almost everyone else has said, very rare to have the Romex fail within the wall. If you can ID all the devices on the...

When I 'apprenticed' with my architect/mentor for 5 years, we discussed a lot of aspects of home/building design. After that, I could not look at standard or trendy home design the same way. From the trendy dormer-deluge to the hard to insulate, hard to maintain and more expensive than...

As all western Canadians (and US-PNW) are experiencing, we are quite cold for this time of year... Earlier this year, on this forum, a thread about oil got me to switch from 15w40 to 0w40 and I'm pretty sure that has helped. And, as my tractor shed is both 100+ feet from the nearest a/c outlet...

When I did my own plans for my workshop in 2011, I had my mentor architect still working with me. When it came to the house in 2014, he had retired and I was on my own. To make sure I did not run afoul of the local inspector, I went in to the building dept with my rough plans and got my...

I see one post noting that you can't add trusses to a roof stamped by an engineer. Uh, no, because the engineer stamp is tied to the exact structure covered under the stamp, which is under the engineers errors and omissions insurance should it fail, and is what the building dept. is relying on...

Well, I certainly hope this never happens to me - I have also had confusion as to whether the front PTO shaft was properly latched, so I know it's a thing. I always (well after I learned what to listen/feel for) make sure the collar is resting and the latch is solid before moving on. But if it...

The one thing I keep going back to is "worked in summer.." so this is either something that failed since then, it is an older machine... or, something being adversely affected by colder temperatures. Since some hydraulic circuits (stabilizers) are holding, it would point to a valve block, but is...

If you are able to mill your own structural lumber and are asking about DIY trusses, one then guesses there are no building codes or enforcement of same in your area. Here in BC, to use self-milled lumber for structure, you need it graded, or an engineer needs to stamp the plans, and carry the...

I have the 1500lb clamp on forks from Titan and I like them. It's true you'll use them for a LOT more than brush - at least I do - and also true that they can distort the bottom of a loader bucket if used improperly. Improper use is just using the clamps to hold the bottom of the bucket. They...

Did someone say "crane?" About (OK.. exactly..) a year ago, I turned 60, and a few months before that, I had a mild heart attack. For my 60th, my wife offered a new computer system, but I suggested instead the materials to build my dream shop bench. 10 deep drawers, push-off height for my table...

The OP is interesting for those wanting to be surgical in their application of wood ash. I'm on a small acreage, and from spring through late fall, the property produces about 100-150 cu/ft of grass clippings, leaves and household compost. Good stuff! The past few years we have started up our...

So many stories... I built my own home, designed it, did the drawings, used only 2 subs (drywall and spray insulation) and adhered to the old adage: your project/job can have 3 possible qualities: good, cheap and fast - pick two! I chose good and cheap. My build took 3 years. It worked out...

Ballast is all relative I guess. When I run with my BH, I am swinging almost 900 lb off the back. With the snowblower, there are only 250-300lb on the front, but for traction I still want some good weight off the back. My titan ballast box, filled with sand for density, is over 500 lbs, with the...

As read, looks like you'll be a father (of something/one) soon. And "safety" is the ever-winning tool or equipment rationalization. That way, it serves her instead of just you.

Here's the one I got a couple of years ago. The screen shot has all the details, 'cept the red one is no longer available and the sale price is over... That vevor link is the same unit - better price.

I think this started about fuel can "technology" and got routed into ways to avoid lifting fuel cans... and I can relate. If nothing else, balancing a 5-gallon full can while filling, typically where there is no rest spot, is for the birds. When I built my new tractor shed, I put a fuel can...

Adequate drainage and rock. There really are no shortcuts.

I just have the 2x3" "level-with-bucket-bottom" plate at the joystick side of the loader bucket, but I use it every time. When I park, I level the bucket with it for ground contact, when I go into a pile of material, I use it to set the attack angle of the bucket, same for back-blading. The rod...

I had to come back here, as this thread kind of haunted me. I was noticing that as it got colder, the 15W-40 I had put into Cliffy was indeed making the engine a little harder to start. As I do not yet have AC power to the tractor shed (next year..) I kept thinking about the reply about using...

:ROFLMAO::LOL::unsure::oops::cry::sleep:

This is not so much a "with" as a "for" my GC2410. I needed to move an old door crate that was housing odds and ends. With the price of lumber, I thought of dismantling it for the 2x4's but then noticed it was about the right size to house some attachments that were taking up valuable space in...

Looks like that "one-ton" trailer has a 6K axle. It looks like a mobile home axle, but that hub is for more than 2000 lbs I believe. You could expect your SCUT, with loader, to come in at about 1800lbs. A yard of gravel is about 2700 lbs - more for some grades - so if it handled that with grace...

Back when I had my 5.9 Cummins, it was Rotella 15W-40 all the way. How we can go from that to "15W-40 is the worst oil you can use [in a diesel??]" is beyond me. Everyone has their opinion, and some lighter synthetic is likely a more engineered oil, but I've never chased the bleeding edge in...

Manual says 15-40 is good down to -10C which is fine for where I live. I might get one night a year below that. If that happens, I'll plug it in.

Well ask a question, get an education. Love it! I went back to the manual, and after three lines of 10w-30 another line says 15-40 is also good. Duh! Off to get some proper oil.

I'm just over 100 hrs from the last oil change on this machine. When I got it, the previous owner said he'd just changed oil. Indeed it was brand-new oil. Now it's my turn to change it. I see by the manual it wants 10W-30. Easy enough. I then note that all the 10W-30 I see on the local...

As I live a couple of hours from the nearest "dealership," one that really prefers to sell orange, I choose to go 500 miles away (by phone) to a large MF AG dealer, who has no problem getting whatever I want and just ships it along, usually with very inexpensive shipping. Also: I'm hoping to...

I was interested in this one as I had a similar issue, about a year ago, and in my case it was a somewhat corroded connector AND an iffy ground. Thing was, I was installing LED work lights - nothing to do with the circuit or connections to the rear light assemblies - around that time and...

That's a lot to ask of one trailer. Dump and enclosed are rarely compatible, unless you mean low sidewall. Dump usually means more than a ton of material to make the hydraulics worthwhile and load ratings for suspension and wheels/tires mean you don't get to play in the lightweight class. The...

In these parts (southern BC) we use a lot of black poly for the combination of continuous (any joint underground WILL fail), potable, forgiving of rock contact, and relatively inexpensive, given all the pluses. I see folks recommending PVC. I'm on a rural water system (25 properties, mountain...

Yeah, it wasn't until the next series of BH they went to the bolt-on teeth. I wonder if you can update the bucket if the weld-on tooth is tough to find..? The tooth part you found is likely the bolt-on for the newer bucket. There may be some custom fabrication needed to make it work. I have...

I'd be running the seeping cylinder in the meantime. You're just losing a bit of fluid and making a bit (?) of oily mess, but still able to work the machine. I ran my leaking FEL coupler for months while deciding and waiting.

I must be lucky, as my local (a few miles away) filling station has marked fuel, both gas and diesel, (sans road fuel tax) and the gasoline is premium, no ethanol. I run it in all my small engines, and run them dry before storage, and have never had to service the carbs in the 8 seasons since I...

All solved. Turns out the local vendor and their "New Line" hydraulic supplier sent me the exact same OEM coupler, Safeway branded and all. The cluster of couplings for the FEL meant I need to take off one other coupler to get good box wrench access. In doing so, I found what could have been...

Like a lot of rural/semi-rural folks, I also have a 400' drive that needs help to stay passable, particularly in spring. The problem is clay fines. They absorb water, freeze and expand. During spring thaw, they release the moisture and combined with their slippery-when-wet nature, create mud for...

I'd say "all the ones I need, plus one.." FEL BH Snowblower Rotary Broom* 5' Box Blade Pallet forks for FEL Ballast Box Clamp-on 2" receiver LED work lights *came with - don't use

I'm not sure if much has changed weight-wise since the GC2410, but my 2410 bare is about 1450 lb and the FEL is about 325 lb, the BH around 900 lb. Total together: 2700 lb +/- I needed to bring mine home, some 900 miles, after purchase. Used a 16-ft car hauler with brakes. Glad I did. If you...

While a "Jumping Jack" might take you over an edge, a plate compactor will not. The plate compactor is the right tool for an under-slab compacting job. Use it with water, and you'll get acceptable results. I built up slope for a carport slab (7' in places..) and we dry compacted every 6-8"...

Sure, Paul Short's stuff is top notch, and so are his prices. In fact, when I was first considering a SCUT, I found his channel on YT, and in part, it was all the "mods" for the BX he did that showed me all its deficiencies. He was giddy about the market opportunity, while I was seeing all the...

I was prepared for this thread to be pretty ignorant. My tractor is too small for emissions equipment, and when I owned a 12-valve Cummins, I felt like a failure if I ever "rolled coal." Black smoke = engine lugging = poor power management = bad driving. I feel the same way with the tractor...

I was reading my own anniversary post, feeling something was missing.... And that would be how helpful this forum has been in these first two years to diagnose and rehab this tractor. Between reading old posts to glean info and understanding, to asking questions and getting custom advice...

Other than reporting the install results, I ended up ordering the New Line coupler from a local supplier. Even though the catalog said $47, the local dealer was at $37, and no shipping. Also, according to the supplier write up, these should be exact matches for the Safeway coupler. They even...

I caught this thread and had some of these questions a couple of years back, because my used 2410 came with the MF quick-hitch but not the snowblower. I wondered if a Kubota blower would work before I straightened up and bought the MF2360. I researched SCUT's quite a while before settling on...

Getting closer... In my quest to know that the hydraulic parts I'm cross referencing would be the right ones, I finally got my phone camera down close enough and focused on the female quick coupling part number. The phone could still function upside down and backwards which was where the part...

As I have my BH mounted I can lower the 3PT control, but will have to look if the mechanism can move with the BH in place. How important is that? As for the brand of the replacement coupling, I see my local outlet has New Line and they have a cross-reference for the Safeway parts. Cool!

Did the clean suggested here and it's still leaking. The part must be the Safeway S25A-2 (it's the match for the S41-2 which I could order from Graingers for half of the dealer price.) I called my local industrial supplier and they have a non-Safeway size match set for almost half of...

A safeway s41-2 fitting was mentioned in a post above and I see this is a Series 20 part from Safeway. Thus I feel on the right track with a S25A-2 as the quick coupler part. Any idea how another brand of quick coupler would work if the same size and valve type?

To me, laneway is deeper in the property. It's true that it's for driving, but sometimes only at tractor-quality specs. Judging by the fact I never see standing water on it, I suspect (and designed for..) the larger rock layer is giving the water space to move within. That base, before the new...

I have isolated the connector (red strap, "B") and see on the side that it is a Safeway connector. Why the 40 Series rather than the 20 Series? In Safeway's documentation the 20 Series is listed as being used in ag machines. We know it's a 1/4" fitting as the parts book shows the 3 adaptors...

Thanks for the responses. I am reasonably sure the hoses coming from the FEL are fine, as the drip continues with the snowblower quick-hitch. I want to focus on the quick-connectors. Are they an MF-only part? Can they be re-fitted with seals? I need to spend a bit of time, disconnect the hoses...

I was interested in this thread b/c I am in the process of beefing up a few sections of driveway/laneway. In my area, we have a soil gumbo of rock and clay, which is only a problem in the spring, when the frost layer in the clay melts and gives a couple weeks of mud. A few years ago, I redid...

Of course I will search the forum after posting, 'cause... Starting last season, one (or more) of the FEL hydraulic connections (the yellow one, lower inside.. it appears) is leaking fluid. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this and can point me in the right direction to get this...

I looked for well over a year. First got attracted by a Kubota ad for the BX-23 and their generous financing. Then I began brand comparing. Started watching this chap in Newfoundland on YouTube who makes mods for the Kubota and realized a lot of the mods were addressing Kubota design...

I don't (yet..) have one either, but I think somewhere in the community, there is one I can rent access to, and that may be the same in your area.. So if the file became available, I'm sure there is a way. At the same time, if the price was reasonable, buying a printed version would be a...

Yeah, consider me educated. My 3-pt is as close to new as I could expect. Sure enough, there is indeed a friction stop at the fwd position. Also, not sprung to center, but does rest there. Time to pay closer attention to these controls. I'm still wondering why this is not at all reflected in...

I will try this later today, but to be clear: you're saying there should be another detent, fwd/below the center position, (which you call the hold position, as in: hold at a specific height), and which serves (this lower detent does..) as a down/float position for the 3-pt control lever...

I see our tractors are of similar vintage, and my 3-pt lever always returns to center detent so I'm not sure what you mean by "hold the lever in a position it's MEANT to be held in.." So indulge me, even if I am over thinking it. My tractor has some 400 hrs on it, not worn out, and does not...

OK. Now that that makes sense: are there any potential downsides, say to the hydraulic system, by creating a defeat device? Is our need for this ability on a SCUT due to a lesser-featured 3-pt system? Do larger tractors enjoy this ground float feature routinely? If this was not part of the...

So, if I am understanding the idea: it is that the position "set" when the 3-pt lever is returned to detent is in fact a "bottom stop" position, meaning the attachment will not go below this height, regardless of changes in the terrain that would see the attachment drop lower to maintain...

Looks like this thread made it into the TBN forum promo email. Good luck with the immediate future on the job/retirement front, and honestly, prior to starvation, no proper wife/partner would insist on a tractorectomy. That is ALWAYS an operation requiring a second opinion.

I'm not sure about these small diesels but when I had my Cummins 12-valve, you could go from 215HP to 1000HP by goosing the fuel and air intake volume. In newer diesels, a computer controlled intake system does the same thing with a "tune.' So diesels can have a power output range within a given...

Irv: No confusion here about the front joystick float. I was wondering how/why we would need a mod to maintain "float" on the 3-pt when there is no two-way pressure applied to the attachment by the hydraulics. My front end float works a charm (tractor only has 480hrs..) but I still don't...

When I saw this thread, I was a little confused because I had the idea that my 3-pt, on the GC2410, didn't have a down-pressure, just hydraulic lift. I kept quiet b/c perhaps I had missed something about my machine. I re-read the manual, which does not refer to a down-pressure, and then today, I...

I'm going to have to review the thread again, but this could be a nice simple mod for these units. I'm posting so I'm notified if there are updates on things like durability and any improvements from experience. Also if it becomes a product.

I have a situation where the left side rear light unit has gone troppo. All bulbs work (ie: not burned out..) but when I turn on the headlights, I get one of the signal indicators (left) lit up on the dash, and the red light for that side is out, but flashes when I turn on the turn signal. The...

After looking at mine, it appears the hydraulic cylinder on yours is installed upside down. On mine, the cylinder pushes down, while yours appears to push up (as in the expansion takes place at the top of the unit versus the bottom) This placement puts the hydraulic connections in the way of...

I know many of you have been through this seasonal-changeover process many times, but this is my first year with the GC2410, and the process of changing over from FEL/BH mode to Blower/Ballast Box mode and back again. Before getting the machine in May last year, I had a Bolens with a loader...

I got some slightly confusing info from the tech support person at the manufacturer RADtech. The OEM shear bolt is threaded all the way up the shank while the replacement has a solid collar, which seems to go against the standard for shear bolts which are typically either threaded at the shear...

If you are referring to the 5/16 lock nut forward of the "Fan Shear Plate" in the image, that is a bolt coupling the shaft to the tube that ties in the "fan shear plate." The OEM bolt in the "fan shear plate" is a hex-head, but the dealer replacement is a simple grade 5 bolt. The dealer tells...

In preparing for the season, I bought the new MF2360 and a set of shear bolts from the dealer. In the last 2 weeks we've gotten about 3 feet or more of snow to make up for a very slow, warm start to winter. Earlier today, I lost the fan while finishing up clearing about 4" of light powder snow...

I just got my 2360 and the dealer sent the wrong bracket at first. My manual only covers the 2300-2400-2600 series and even then, there are three different brackets shown in the manual. The one I was originally sent was not even one of those three. I think with this stuff, a dealer call is the...

You sure that wasn't a hardened titanium or tungsten bolt? ;) I went to my local machine shop supplier for a single Grade 5 bolt, 5/16" X 2-1/2", which they have all set out grade-by-grade, so I'm pretty confident I got a grade 5 bolt. I got it mostly to confirm the sizing with the one in...

While not exactly today, this past week I built a cover for the ballast box I just got in from Titan. Since I had to ship the box to a drop spot in WA and cross the border to pick it up, I also added a pair of clamp on pallet forks and a clamp-on hitch receiver to make the trip more...

My first time installing my new snowblower (2360) on my 2410, and every time I release the clutch the engine dies. The only suspect part of the install was the tractor end of the PTO shaft. I greased/oiled everything before mounting and the lock ring moved well, but when I put it on the output...

So it's time to put these dollies to work storing the backhoe and loader for the winter. I used pneumatic casters hoping to stay on top of the gravel in my shed. A week before "dolly-day" I took my 100 lb lawn mower across the gravel on a pneumatic-wheeled hand truck. The wheels moved the gravel...

One of the most frustrating parts of getting this GC2410 is the almost total lack of info about the "connector" between the front mounted attachments (snowblower, rotary broom) from RAD Technologies. Officially called the "Quick Hitch/Sub-frame" assembly. The hitch part hooks into the...

Because I'll need to store both my CB05 backhoe and the D100 loader all winter (to make room for the front-mount snowblower and 3-point ballast box..), I got busy over the past week building dollies for both attachments. My tractor shed has a gravel floor, so only pneumatic casters will work...

Hey Owners, Moments ago, I was running my GC2410 and it just died. Then I see no juice for the starting circuit. There is power to the lights/flashers, but when I turn the key, no lights on dash, no fuel pump sound, no crank. My seat and neutral switches have been tied off by the previous owner...

Throttle side of engine compartment, next to battery. See image below.

Wondering what you folks know about the links in the charging system for a GC(2410)? I got my tractor and the charging light was on in the dash (and the battery needed boosting..). I replaced the alternator and the light went out. I tested the battery, which seems like the original factory unit...

Just a wrap up post on this... Along with all the helpful perspective from this forum, I asked my small-engine mechanic about the hydro-fluid quantity/resolution and he was decisive: 12-1/2 liters is over full. I was apprehensive about having fluid everywhere by draining from the main drain...

I did not get a manual (operators) for the FEL (D100) or Backhoe (CB05) with my GC2410. I was directed to AgcoPubs.com, where the print version for the CB05 (did not show one for the D100) will cost more than double the book price, due to shipping to Canada, and the download, which I would be...

Alright, the pic I have is not the best, seeing as I just made the deal for this and only have some pics until I can go and pick this up. Here it is (assuming I can attach/upload the image..) Regardless, glad to get tentatively reinforced on my *theory* that the quick hitch for this sweeper...
