The L35 came standard with the 4 post FOP, the canopy is steel. Keeps the spider webs out of your face. I've never seen a brand on the blade. It's about 30 years old.

Is that where the tank hose from the loader goes?

The pole saw has been real useful, but my body has just about outgrown it, IYKWIM.

My intent, subject to change, is to mount the saw, using the bar studs, to a stub pole pivoted to the mast. A stop will control its travel. The idea is to get the saw close, start it, then lower it so that only the weight of the saw is on the bar. I have modified the saw by installing a 12 volt...

An electric actuator to control the feed isn't a bad idea and could be easily added. I'm planning to start with gravity feed, which is what the commercial saws I've seen do.

I'm not sure how well this will work, or if it'll work at all. I'm planning to pivot the saw assembly so that it's fed by its weight or spring pressure. Hopefully, a future picture won't be me on a ladder retrieving my saw. An advantage of the hydraulic saw is that it can be reversed to possibly...

Same here, the plate would cost me about as much as the finished product. And I don't have a torch or plasma, so cutting is typically via disc or . . . Yes, I just didn't work it into the write-up!

Thanks. I've never had a problem disobeying authority, only recognizing the ultimate authority. I watched ~20 minutes of the video; another person thinks he's got the foundational human condition figured out.

I was doing a little welding at the shop door the other evening when I heard something ominous. Called the power company and they sent a repair crew right out. In the meantime, I called the neighbor downline to see if she was having any problems. She said no, must not have AM radio...

Having mulled/developed a manual pole saw replacement plan for quite a while, I finally started. Warning, like most of my retirement projects, this one will probably be drawn out and may end up not working at all. There are 3 varieties I see: * Battery/ electric chain * Hydraulic chain *...

How about a spoiler? I'm not buying the book regardless.

Me too, the 16' version. Same complaint, those thin rungs.

Time to wrap this up. There are 12 hoses that run through the swing frame and I had to re-route them a couple of times before I was satisfied the swing and stabilizer movement wouldn't cause a bind. After that, it was just a matter of remounting the console with its six bolts. FINAL NOTES 1. If...

I thought I referenced this post with hose dimensions, but now I see that I didn't. If you see any discrepancy in dimensions, please let me know. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/hydraulic-hoses-bt900.77438/ I see you went with a one-piece dirt shield. I did paint mine before...

There are a lot of unknowns here. But IF 1) it is genuinely out of warranty, and 2) it was still starting and running normally, I think I'd have the dealer inspect the head for cracks and, if none are found, reinstall the head using an OEM gasket, reassemble everything and run it.
