All good points, still it is curious that it is always the left side that fails. I will check the alignment out when my crazy summer life gives way to a more sedate autumnal life. I doubt I will do anything about the bucket attachment. Probably I'll just try to remind myself to take it...

Here are the two profile views.

I am thinking along the same lines, the FEL does look a bit wonky. I did think to get it on a level surface to check height on either side. Also, the hood doesn't close without banging it past a bar on the FEL. It does have the skid stir attachment which changed the geometry enough that at...

Pictured below is the rod from my left side lift cylinder. On top of that, this is the third time I've done this, and I am not aware it happens until I try to lift the FEL. I was extending pretty high to dump a load of branches and tree debris on to a high pile. As all hydraulic actions on...

I do have the back hoe tie down chains still attached to the base---I'll probably do that and then not leave the PTO engaged.

Missing the part I neglected to say (oops), where I reach back, raise the bucket, then swing it back and forth a bit and return to center. So in addition to stowing it back to where it belongs, the pressure in the actuators is re-established. Of course, it immediately starts to bleed off...

You may have missed the "self own" part, the back hoe died because I essentially turned it off without realizing it---all better now.

I was digging a hedge out of short rocked wall terrace with the back hoe, of course there was a lot of bouncing and sliding into and onto the wall. Finally admitting that I had done what I could, I tried to leave, but found myself hung up on the rocks by the backhoe mounting flange. 4WD didn't...

Follow up and issue resolved post. The new sediment bowl came in, but the fuel line fitting didn't match to the bowl, ultimately I used a hose barb fitting, cut off the swaged fitting and connected things. Ran the tractor for 30 minutes at 1500 rpm, no power loss, one subsequent use, still no...

I did remove the tank and eventually got the remaining threads out. I had to drill as far as I dared (diameter) then used a hacksaw blade to to make a couple of cuts, than a chisel to peel them away from the tank. Of course, in the process I damaged the threads, but I fashioned a plug from a...

While troubleshooting a loss of power/shutdown situation I decided to remove the fuel sediment bowl. Sure enough, the threaded part snapped leaving a part of it in the tank. There appears to be a nut on it (or something that looks to be welded on, maybe a mounting flange?). I've tried to...
