What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

[lostcreekranch]

I'll check threads today but they are a standard LS part, used on several tractors.

Here are pictures ..... as promised.





I'll let you guess on thread / pitch.

Awesome! Thank you.
Those gauges are really cool! I have something similar to the ones you see at the hardware store, but are inch only.

Seconds later, I found these:

And ordered.

Great!

You’ll want some thick nylon washers to protect the paint and keep the screws tight.

I think I got mine at Rockler. Orange metric and black inch. Each ball has both male and female threads and both course and fine threads included.

Evidently ....... Rockler Woodworking no longer sells these Thread Detectives. Mine were $15 each about 7-8 years ago.



They have some similar though.

Found the limits on my pallet forks (XR4155HC). Tried to lift a Genie GR15 mast lift off my flatbed (2345#-which I noted when I checked the serial label after I tried to lift it off).

Loaded it with a regular forklift so I really didn’t think about its weight until I hit the relief valve while trying to lift it off!!

Still pretty good capacity on the pallet forks just not quite enough to lift this mast lift.

It's funny I just looked at hp because I probably need a 75hp+ in the future but dont want to have the payment on that yet and 68hp LS had a lot of options standard that other brands dont and I figured I could get by with this for a few years before going bigger after I see how my plans are working out lol my little compact tractor is like 1980s 26hp and i definitely made it do things well beyond the hp requirement of attachments lol

Well BB i sure didnt have a problem understanding what you wrote cant see how a period or paragraph would help but then i would not know where to add them either.
And if i did i would never say anything about it to embarrass you.
