    3 Point Quick Hitch for 1999 L3000 DT

    I bought the Agri-Supply version probably 10 years ago. One of the best things I ever bought for my tractor. I had to rebuild it last year. It took 10 years to beat it up; about 2 hours to fix it. ;)

    UTV Tires?

    I went through this first with RTV-900, then with my RTV-XG850. For the -900 I went with ITP Blackwater Evolutions to replace the Craptyles. The most important thing about them for me was the 8 plies, aggressive tread, 8 plies, larger size (25 to 26) and having 8 plies. When I bought my...

    Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris dead at 86

    I remember one time back in the 80's when Chuck went down to St. Cloud Florida to help George Van Horn milk some venomous snakes. Chuck accidentally got bit by a King Cobra. It was a full power shot; the King emptied its venom glands in the strike. After five days of agonizing pain, the snake...

    Why nobody talking about rachet rake

    It's 6' wide, weighs 110 lbs and looks to be about 1/2" thick steel. You can count the teeth from the above pics.

    Why nobody talking about rachet rake

    I bought one over 10 years ago. Used it on one job (that essentially paid for it). And never used it again. For the last 10 years, it's sole purpose is as an extra counterweight on my LMC box blade:

    How to remove RTV-XG850 Fuel Line from Tank - Help!

    Bought one of these at the local Autozone: I had to remove about an 1/8" to get it to fit. Once it did, it released immediately. Amazing that they took something so simple - a hose with a hose clamp - and replacing it with something that requires a special tool to remove. :(

    How to remove RTV-XG850 Fuel Line from Tank - Help!

    I checked the WSM: There are no special tools listed for disconnecting or connecting the fuel line. :( Next step: Take pics to Autozone, see if they have a tool that will do it.

    How to remove RTV-XG850 Fuel Line from Tank - Help!

    I need to clean my fuel filter and check my fuel pump. Took the cover plate off and got 5 of 6 bolts holding the fuel pump off. I can't remover the 6th one without removing the fuel line from the tank. It has some special connection, which I haven't been able to remove. I *assume* it takes...

    9.5 x 24 front tires under a FEL - are radial tires stronger / more rugged on a M6800 used in the woods?

    When I had to replace my front tires on my L4330 5 years ago due to age rotting and leaks, I went with 8 ply Titan Skid Steer (SS) tires for maximum weight rating. According to Titan, it has a load rating of 4,140 lbs each per their spec sheet...

    B7500 wheel weights

    I've had my L4330 since 2013 with 513 hours on it. It's now got just over 1500 hours and it's been +13 years. I replaced the water in the rear tires with a mixture of RV antifreeze and water within the first year I owned it. The number of flats I've had: 0 The number of times I've worried...

    Extreme Cold weather operation

    Here is the tractor I use when it's cold outside. It's not very fast, the FEL on it sucks major balls and it takes about 30 minutes or so to wake up and do some useful work. Other than that, it's great to have around when it's cold.
