L4310 Enhancements

Yeah, but none of this stuff comes on an M120, either. Except maybe the lights. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Yeah, but if you leave the M120 on a trailer, it won't be by a guy in a pickup. Don't leave your tractor on a trailer unless you have it rigged too. Seems like nearly everytime I read about someone stealing a tractor, they also stold the trailer!

Yep, Wen, that does seem to be the case. It does make it handy for thieves when folks leave their tractor on a trailer for them.

I don't guess I ought to try doing all the wiring Mark's doing. My cigarette lighter quick working on the B2710, so I decided to fix it this morning. Now electrical jobs don't get much simpler than that, but darned if everything doesn't check out all right, but it still doesn't work./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

True, Wen, very true. But if someone steals my trailer, they won't be in just any pickup, either. With close to 4k of tongue weight (unless they have the same weight distributing hitch I have and cut their way into my toolbox, most pickups will still be there when I get back. Oh and they'll also have to cut the wheel locks off the trailer. Or remove the wheels and try driving it with only one tire on each side - something I would strongly advise against. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif A Lo-jack in the truck won't prevent them from stealing it, but at least I'll know where they went with it. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bird - I'll fix it for free, if you'll pay my way down there. I've been wanting to come to Texas again, anyway.

Mark, I'd love to have you come visit, but I just told my wife yesterday that if a trip around the world cost a dollar I couldn't get out of sight./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I knew you had thought of the most important part, Mark. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bird I could do one better if you can't get if fixed. My wife and the kids are going to visit her grandparents in Texas next week maybe she could stop by and take a look at it for you. No maybe thats not a good idea she would really screw it up. The good thing is I can't get off of work to go with them--darn.

A Kubota was stolen off a jobsite about ten miles from me a month ago and guess what---the trailer that the tractor was on was stolen to--now go figure.

You don't miss a beat do you Mark. It's a shame but if you don't protect yourself no one else will.

Bird - Good one! I once heard a lady tell my mother that if material was half-priced she still couldn't buy enough to make a wedding dress for a mosquito. I guess that's pretty close to the same situation.

Well, next time I'm in the area, I'll stop in and check out your garden, or garden spot, depending on the season. But by then you'll have the lighter fixed. Shucks - by then, you'll probably own an M-series...
