L4310 Enhancements

[MChalkley]

Rich - Oops, sorry, I forgot to reply to your private message! The loader subframe on the L4610 must be different from the L4310 - the wheels I've got now (which should be the same ones you have) work fine. If you need to move them out, my old ones might work for you, though. Are you sure they wouldn't work better if you moved them in?

Mark- just spent 2 hrs. trying diff. things heres the curent plan. A. get some more lugnuts and some treaded rod. B. weld 2 nuts toghter and thead on to stud, extend out 2.5"with the rod and check my clearance [with no weight on the wheel]. C. if this works get spacer plates made or see if the off set on the wheels is right or get other wheels made. I need to move the tires out as far as I can get. Yes we did try and move them in, it got worse. Do you know what the off set on your wheels is, the old ones? and the new ones? Did your come with any gaurd for the valve stem? All I can figeur is the loader frame must be larger than the 4310.??

Nice photos of your mod. I really like the console. Where is the green zone on the tiltmeters? Sometime post another of the console with a little more light for those of us that need more detail.

MChalkley,I agree with every one else.NICE JOB ON THE CONSOLE...I'll have to keep it in mind when I finaly get' me very own trac-tor...I think many of use will probable be following suit...Mark now that you've added all these goody's...What is your total AMP draw...Including the standard equipment plus your new lights etc.
I was just looking at the amp rating on the tc21d and it has a 35A altinator...Unfortunately I guess one need an owners manual to get the total load...for spec equipment...I'm just wondering how close you are to maxing the altinator out...Or were you one of the folks on the old board that was looking to upgrade the altinator to compensate...?I realize you wont have every thing on at once...But I figure those balzer lights are 55w each.Thats what 9+ amps for just the 2 front lights...?I figure on your machine it's not as big a deal as it would be on a TC18,TC21,B2400,BX2200 etc...Just curious....

Mark,

Thanks for the info on the bucket. I've seen some pics of the 4 in 1 before and kinda said to my self it's kinda neat. But the more I think about it (now I know it can prune) it is on my want list. I'll have to do some searching to see if it will fit on a NH. Great stuff mark!!!!

Here's a little better view of the console. Clearly (pardon the pun), I've reached the limits of the resolution of my friend's cameral. Either that, or I haven't learned to extract all the performance it's got (not usually a fault I'm known for - rather the other way around). I'm going to have to break out the F5 and try some negative scans to see what that does, if anyone needs more detail than this.

Another side view, this time showing the rear blade. You can sort of see the gauge wheel and the red cylinder that controls it.

The console looks great. Yourtractor looks like a very capable machine.

A picture of the canopy frame tube to the left of the console where the fuse block and ground bar are. The lower "conduit" contains a 6-gauge white wire for ground that terminates in the ground bar on the left (all they had was house wiring colors and the guy accidentally gave me 6-gauge instead of the 8 I asked for), and an 8-gauge red wire for power that terminates in the fuse block on the right. I realize that the ground bar is 95% overkill, but before you guys harass me about it, remember that the ground has to carry just as much amperage as the hot, and the vast majority of electrical problems are caused by poor grounds. That said, again, I realize that it's overkill, but I'm obsessive sometimes (well, ok, you caught me, I'm actually that way most of time). There's a ground going from the ground distribution bar to a lug in the console, and to a pigtail for the toggle switch lights, temp gauge and it's light, tiltmeter electronics (not installed yet), etc.

The 4 white wires you see coming out of the top "conduit" are the temp sensor wires (three sensors plus a spare for when one of the others breaks or some idiot decides to put a fourth sensor on my tractor /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif).
