    Turnbuckle sway link

    I made a change to my turnbuckle links to facilitate changing something on the 3pt hitch. I know they make the better ones for about $200 but I don't use mine a lot as I have the 8N for attachments I bought a couple repair links I think were 1/2" but the pin hole only measures about .49 so I am...

    Hydraulic Guard

    I kept looking at the filter and hoses on my L2501 and decided to make a guard before a stick got in there. Last year I had one grab the hose on the right backhoe stabilizer and rip that off. I use a piece of steel from a steel frame building that is 10" wide and a 4" flange up and down 16"...

    Latches for my SSQA

    I see here a couple of times others have had a latch come loose using their grapple and then bend the latch plates out of alignment. So while I have had a tractor for years I am just starting to use my grapple doing firewood. We had the snow storm here the other day so I spent some time in the...

    Installing rear spacers on L2501

    I have received my spacers and getting ready to install so I can use chains. I am wondering if anyone could offer experience with handling the rear 15 x 19.5 loaded R14 tires. Are they too much for one guy to handle working slowly and carefully. Does the weight become more than you can control...

    Back blade and gravel drive.

    I have a 300' plus drive and put down some more stone this year. Bought it from the same place but it seems larger and not packing down as good. I usually plow with a front blade on the 8N but tried a while back and until it freezes more it was moving a lot of stone to the sides. I had this...

    This isn't about orange but red, My 2006 miata. I went to make an appointment to get it inspected yesterday and because I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand on the 18th I asked if they would do my oil and filter.

    l2501DT diff lock

    On a different note I got the gear drive L2501 and know I am in the minority not having the HST but it is what I wanted. I am cleaning around an old pond and backing up the slope a lot. I like to use the foot throttle not the hand when moving with a loaded bucket. Right foot can't work both. I...
