A nice day for burning here in western Washington. Todays burn is a relatively small pile I wanted to get cleaned up before summer.

That is the same system that my Seppi mower uses. The parts manual calls it a "Viblock". Definitely a good system. I needed to remove the gearbox to get all the contaminated gear oil out. I had never seen a viblock fitting and was kind of dreading how it was going to come apart, but it...

I have thought about buying it that way. But, since I only apply it after the season, it's not too big of a deal. Doug

You might be able to find some orange paint on the underside of my mower deck, but not much. I pressure wash the underside after the season and let it dry. I empty a full can of Fluid Film on it. During the season, I blow out the underside after each 2.5 hour mowing. It is a little easier...

I use it also. I like it. Doug

I like it! Good job. Doug

A much better explanation than mine. :) Doug

There is a lever to the right and below the steering wheel that you lift while pressing the brake pedals. A parking brake indicator on the dash should light, but may not if the switch mechanism is faulty. Doug

Congratulations on your new machine. I have the L48 as well. If you were so inclined, I sure would like to see pictures of the rest of the top and tilt hydraulic control valves and the plumbing/hoses (where pictures are possible). As was mentioned above, they are vary capable machines. Did...

The L48 comes from the factory with a pretty heavy duty guard. Picture was taken to display the loader cylinder supports, but shows the radiator protection pretty well. It is a pretty heavy duty set up.

I just replaced the inner tie rod ends on my L48. I think they were probably fine, except the boots were shot. It appears they only make boots for the BX machines. Has anyone seen them for other machines? Also, I would like to replace the boots on the outer tie rod ends, as they are pretty...

That will certainly do that. I was a construction field superintendent for over 20 years. I got to hate messes. I keep the floors pretty tidy...can't help it. Also, I use wheels also. I have a pallet jack, a few pallets and several dollies. I have two six caster, steel dollies that were...

My L48 has individual brakes on the same side as the treadle pedal. I can't adequately express how stupid of a design this is. My grandfather's Massey Ferguson 35 brakes were never locked together. We used them individually very often. You could turn on a dime with the brush hog raised, just...

Yes, it was a picture of yours. You sent me a few pictures showing the rear remotes, and other hydraulic related items. Thank you again for the pictures. Doug
