My FEL was/is working. That was the first thing I checked when the rear lift stopped working.

Two quick questions. Was grading my driveway when suddenly I could no longer lift the rear implement. A quick look revealed the feed back rod had broken. Would this be the reason my rear implement would not go up? All the other hydraulics work. How hard is it to replace that rod? Seems straight...

Got my tractor and the damaged fuel return line back. Yes there is clear evidence that a mouse was chewing on the line.

Well the dealer called late yesterday and said that a rodent chewed on the return line. I am somewhat skeptical but…… I did find a mouse nest on top of the fuel tank close to the back.

While I agree I was a bit unsure about bleeding the fuel line. That along with time, I seem to be losing that battle!

This could very well be. Called them and let them know it did not leak when they picked it up. They came today to take it back the their shop. Said I should have an answer by this Friday. We’ll see what they have to say.

The pins on my B2650 loader sometimes drift out. The stopper rods keep them from coming out and they are not bent. I believe that this is normal, depending on how you are using the loader.

Maybe one of those snap together rubber like garage floors?

I’ll also suggest the power sweeper. I use the Echo paddle sweeper on a quarter mile gravel drive. It is a workout but keep in mind you don’t need to get it done in one day either.

I’ll toss my .02 in. I use the ATV for light snow, it’s quick. For heavy snow, more than 6” the Kubota with a front mount blower. I’m doing a quarter mile gravel drive with a hill.

Go for it. I have both and it sure makes for easy work, the right tool for the job comes to mind.

I use an Echo power head and their sweeper attachment, works great. It is a pain in the backside but it beats raking both sides of a quarter mile drive. It takes about a day to do, that includes a few breaks! Another option is a powered rotary broom attachment for the front of your tractor, a...
