I dont mean to give bad/poor suggestions, but I recently had a “similar” hydraulic problem. I was backing the tractor into the pole barn, and the boom for the BH would not move. There was also something “funky” with the forks not responding properly. Well time was running short, and we were...

This is NOT the suggested way to do it……and I am quite sure the ‘safety police” will call me out……..But I cut all those damn things off. GIANT PITA………... Instead of having them on, I simply do not put my hands/arms/body parts near “spinny things" like that. When I worked on “propeller...

I wish I could say that I always “disconnect” the battery and take all the precautions I should…... But alas….my screen-name does not bear this out….. I usually/always just grind a spot near where I am welding to ground it, and ‘light that MF’r up”…….. So far the score is………….. RWS's “poor...

Oh snap! When I first clicked on that, I originally thought you were making dimes……hahahahahah I was immediately thinking that Bill was going to soon have to change his screen-name to “Bubba’s Bitch” when the Secret Service clicked on that page. NOW I get it….watch parts….. very cool...

Or you can’t find even 1 of the 9,875 rolls of electrical tape that you have to keep re-buying for every damn project!!!!!! (until the next day when all 9,875 9,876 rolls magically appear ;) :unsure:)

Not a great video, but it does demonstrate how to use a typical "3 jaw puller”. Although there are a number of iterations of this style puller, this video shows the basic concept of how it will apply a force directly to your splined shaft and coupler instead of prying on your housing (which...

I am with @Shawn T. W on the fuel filter thing. EDIT: and apparently @GrumpyFarmer too 👏 Having to "constantly change the fuel filter” will not change one bit when/if you buy a new tractor. Something else is causing that. (i.e. contaminated fuel, fuel storage problems, debris entering...

+1 on this. From your pic, it appears that the “locking pin” has a little bit further to compress. Yanking/pulling/beating/torching sounds like an accident waiting to happen if that pin is not releasing the “locking ball”. And like @North Idaho Wolfman suggests, tapping it “on” a little...

When I had to replace the dual mass flywheel (the "Worlds Dumbest design EVER") in my truck, I decided to go “performance aftermarket”, but not because I wanted to save money. The setup I went for was more money (much more), but it was rated for more “power”. I looked at it from a “longevity”...

I voted for 2 doors. I tend to look at things from an “automotive” perspective. In my personal case, I would worry about the 1 big door being blocked by a “down” tractor/car/trailer/RV/etc. I would want the option to be able to work on something while not having to worry about it blocking the...

That is a great looking tractor, and I’m jealous of that hydraulic thumb for sure (y) (y) @McMXi that’s pretty nice of you to haul it for him too. Good on you sir!!!!(y) That might be my first retirement project.:unsure: (the hydraulic thumb) I’m a +1 on the KATAC as well. Pricey, but it...

“They” make entire BoobTube channels dedicated to that now. When I find myself getting lost in the “interweb”, I occasionally find my self watching it and laughing my a$$ off……. The Big Dan Show comes to mind……. :ROFLMAO: ;)

Now lets work on the 2501’s sight glass location. This looks like me, checking mine

Thanks for the info Dan. My “judgment call” was geared more towards, putting "30 dollar fluid" into a $299 machine. It was “all I could do” to actually go through with it. ;)

Although I can/do appreciate the “scenery” in that pic, I can’t help the urge to “mercilessly flog" that guy for sitting on that hood like that:mad::mad::eek:
