    Help With ROPS Light Switch

    I agree. Relay is not needed. I would just run an inline fuse to the rocker switch. Relays are mainly used to provide full 12v power to high amp accessories... like a winch or a high amp light(s)

    Seat switch bypass

    Soon after I bought my BX23S I disconnected the seat switch. I distinctly remember getting a rash of sh*t from the safety police on this forum.... :rolleyes: In any case, I figured it out on my own and I'm still alive and kicking... If I remember right, There were 2 plugs under the seat (...

    Removing FEL - BX

    In my opinion, The quick connect manifold for the hyd. lines is JUNK. I know there was a recall or a bulletin about them leaking. I removed mine and switched them to 4 individual connectors... like most other implements. works great, no leaks. I wouldn't let that scare you though.. Mine...

    Removing FEL - BX

    I would NOT attempt to remove the loader onto anything but solid ground... like the driveway or garage floor. Especially if you are not well practiced at taking it off/on Even on solid ground, sometimes you need to realign or adjust things and start over. Thats going to be difficult if it's on...

    Plasma cutting

    I would disregard the smartset feature and dial it in manually... For the steel in the picture, I'd go balls to the wall... 45 amps. for speed... yeah, you might have to move faster.... it's a learning curve.... when you see it blowing clean through ... you will know. Also most definitely...

    Lantern fly killer

    Brilliant. Every spring I have to spray my Hybrid Willow trees for Plagiodera versicolora ... (willow beetle) I use a back pack sprayer but they grow tall very fast.... might borrow your concept next spring.

    4 foot LED'S

    I agree with ditching the ballasts. About 7 years ago I replaced all my garage and basement 4' T12 florescent tubes with LED tubes (110v) I haven't had a lick of problem with any of them. They are super bright and turn on instantly ... I think I went with 5 or 6000K ... whatever...

    Bearing press

    Like they said, You don't need a press. but if you want a press, I second the HF suggestion... I beefed mine up by adding corner gussets and stuff.... I also added the HF air over hydraulic bottle jack.... sure beats pumping it by hand. Before I had the HF press I used to use my wood...
