    Need Codes but Digital display inoperable, 2017- L3301

    I may have a 20 year old tractor, but I would not trade it for this new crap for nothin'. Sensors, electronics, modules - have a hard time surviving rough harsh conditions (granted a rollover is more than what a normal tractor does). I feel sorry for the owner.... doesn't look like there's...

    Back blade / landscape rake advice

    I'll add 2 cents to this, in 2005 before Craig's List went down the crapper... in eastern NC, you could pickup blades cheap. I got 2 at $50 each and nice one for $250 and another one for $100, all 6 footers. I turned one into a rake, made it a 7 footer, with tines at either 1.5" or 2" apart...

    L3350, L3750 PTO Guard

    Funny, that was the very first thing that I removed from my (then) brand new tractor! Different model, smaller but it's somewhere in the shed. Makes hooking up the PTO a real PITA that I didn't want to deal with day in and day out. I treat the PTO as super dangerous and will not get off the...

    L2800 HST PTO Troubles

    I only just pasted 1000 hours - since you got 1.5 times that many hours... I doubt I'll have that kind of wear. BUT since I plan to keep this (hopefully) another 20 years and maybe longer... are those mostly HST parts? The last couple of photos (I believe) are the rocker for the HST (forward...

    L2800 HST PTO Troubles

    Great job... was there any tricky part of the process with changing out the Cams? Or was it pretty straight forward?

    Need advice on gravel driveway repair

    Do you know how to use a box blade? Basic question but if you have the top link too short to begin with, you can make a mess very quickly (several of us have done that). Try extending the top link so that you are riding on the rear blade of the box blade at first... then shorten the top link...

    Need advice on gravel driveway repair

    No offense... but I wish my drive was half as good as your photos. I thought those were "After" photos... Mine is just shy of a mile and runs through a couple cow pastures. I would slope it from the fence to the field, just slightly... you can eyeball it. Wait until it rains and see if...

    L2800 HST PTO Troubles

    Not the worst but slightly nicked up... Are you replacing them or leaving them? Someone asked a long time ago about re-surfacing them? No one had an answer to that... One guy who changed his out had a problem with lining up some gears, his solution was wrapping a thin string around the gear...

    Thinking about under fence weed control

    If spraying is out, Pull up the fence, dig a trench a few feet deep, line with 57 stone (washed gravel) then reinstall fence.

    L2800 HST PTO Troubles

    I frankly don't know how the new cams even work... but not sure where you would get your "chatter" from otherwise.
