    Garage door height

    This one. 190$ + 50$ for the 8' extension kit https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-1-2-hp-chain-drive-ultra-quiet-smart-garage-door-opener-control-and-monitor-from-noma-iq-app-0461401p.html

    Garage door height

    Problem solved. I ended up installing a garage door opener. Now it pulls the door all the way up. Expensive solution but it has the added benefit of being remote controlled now. No need to get off the tractor after pulling out of the garage. Am I the only one with a garage door remote on his...

    Garage door height

    That's what I'm thinking. If I push on the door, I can see the cable being rolled up more on the pulley. So if I add more tension to the spring then it should work. Or maybe I should just buy an opener and install it myself. I could adjust it to pull the door a bit more.

    Garage door height

    I should have mentioned I don't have an opener. I have a bit less than 24" available from the ceiling. So it does sound like I could get it extended higher. So it means adding rail extensions and also moving the spring further up right? So that would be about 2h job for a contractor?

    Garage door height

    My garage door opening is high enough for my new tractor but the door would need to open up higher. I can push it higher, so I thought I could have someone stiffen up the spring so it pulls back more on it. But the contractor said he'd need to change the rails. Does that make sense? What is the...

    L2502 review

    But I believe this would require a modification that would void the warranty right?

    L2502 review

    @MotoBBQ : how about pushing on a pile of dirt? Can you do this on "M"? I don't really understand why HP would only be about PTO. Surely it says something about how the tractor can push or pull on things. Unless they all use the same hydro pump for the HST transmission. But then again, my...

    L2502 review

    That's what I was thinking. Lots of weight to haul for such a small engine. Maybe the 39hp would have been better but we're jumping into a whole new price range

    L2502 review

    One week ago, I traded my b2601 for a L2502. I'd like to share my impressions. The bh77 is definitely an upgrade over the bh70. The added reach is noticeable. The 180 degrees swing is a big improvement. 24" bucket makes digging faster and the "power" of the backhoe is a lot better. Having a...

    Snow blower wings

    I recently bought a L2501, so my 54" snowblower is too narrow now. It would've cost 2.5k$ to exchange for a new 66" blower. So I decided to build a set of wings. I get 4" more each side. I have no idea how well that's gonna work but it's worth to try. 30$ worth of metal.

    Cup holder

    When I look at post like this with old tractors, it gets me thinking: is my brand new L2502 gonna last me 40 years? Am I still gonna have it around in 2065? That's pretty much the year I expect to die.

    Hydraulic Thumb on BH77

    Ah, now I understand. Thank you. I just looked at images of SAE oring boss and yess, it does look like that. What confused me is that this section looks like JIC

    Hydraulic Thumb on BH77

    I'm sorry, I'm confused. Which part goes in the sleeve? The SAE? My valve has G1/2 ports. I have bspp-M to npt-M adapters on the other ports. I want to connect a npt-m hose on my PB port.

    Hydraulic Thumb on BH77

    So end #1 is "sae" ? And I need an oring? My fitting looks like that except that end #2 is npt for me
