I noticed the bottom of my bucket was rusty the other day, so your post caught my eye. I remember Dad dosing the moldboards on the old plow with used motor oil so they were easier to roll sod the next year. But I've decided that I've been neglecting to use my bucket enough this year so I'll...

I bought a 2672 Blade for my L2501 that had been returned to the dealer- almost new, but paint faded. I had to use a breaker bar and socket to loosen the bolts a bit and the old squirt can with used oil to douse the pivot before it was workable. Like the last two posts, adjust to the tilt you...

Yep - like Ken says the issue is the large accumulation of crud that adheres just under the cap due to splash and leakage of small amount of diesel past the cap threads. There is usually a half inch collar of dirt and crud that falls off the cap when it is unscrewed. I try to run a rag...

Just finished moving 130 tons of roadbase with the 525 FEL on my little L2501. I had the LP2672 rear blade hanging on back and it made a Huge difference on the stability. The front loader with 6 ft bucket was maxed out when full, and I needed FWD to back out and maneuver as the rear wheels...

Pinkerton Hot Springs, N of Durango CO.. thanks

I finally cured the sputtering problem on my L2501 that would occur at 1800 or higher RPM usually after a little work and warmed up. After changing fuel filters a couple times and pricing the lift pump #1G896-52030 online I held off the last two years. I dropped by the local dealer and...

Glad I got the LandPride 2672 , a medium duty blade rated for 25 to 60 HP tractors. I wont hurt it with my little L2501, and at 370 lbs it has enough weight to carve a little if I set the pitch right. When we get the 3/4 ground asphalt, I'll get some practice with the float on the FEL as...

On my L2501 the tank has a large upper shelf that tapers down to a narrower deep section to the rear of the engine. A standard rheostat type float guage will go down slowly over the top 6 inches (about 6 gallons), and then quickly for the bottom 5 inches or so.

thanks for the reply. What brand/model blade do you have on your 3301?

I currently have a 7 ft wide landscape rake that does a good job grooming loose gravel, but I have a project to make a 1/4 mile path. The dry powdery ground here in Pueblo has few rocks and the path will involve removing about 2-3 inches of top soil to the side, then we plan to spread a layer...

The turnbuckles on my L2501 are tightened up enough yet allow them the lift arms to pass the pins one at a time when hooking up. I also slip 3-4 heavy washers over the pins to take up a couple inches of slop back or forth. Since I back in with the bush hog to clean up some tight spots it...

Seems like the Oregon bill is a copy of the Colorado Initiative #16 which also sets age provisions for harvesting animals. Bill sponsors are reps from the cities of Broomfield and Boulder and supported by the group PAUSE...
