    Ballast Box Project

    No - brush painted (krylon) It didn't fill in all the pours, but most. You have to be looking to buy to see the white dots :)

    I welded up that frame out of scrap iron I had laying around and painted it black. Paint covers up my crappy welding :)

    Reinforcement not in Parts Book

    I have a 2011 B3200 w/LA504 loader Underneath on both the right and left side is a gray bar that bolts to the front end loader, the frame and the rear axle. It connects tot he frame with 2 bolts on each side. I found these bolts had come loose and fallen out, most likely never tightened. I went...

    Bolt on Tooth Bar Source

    Actually that is an F250, you are correct with 1959. That is the first year Ford put 4 wheel drive in at the factory. Prior to that it was a dealer add on. My wifes late father bought this truck new, it has never left the family. All original and runs like a swiss watch!

    Bolt on Tooth Bar Source

    I have been looking for weld on teeth to weld to a bolt on tooth bar. Our local implement dealers don't have the kind that are long enough or have the right bend to make a good attachment. Does anybody have a on line source for weld on teeth? I don't need heavy duty, this is for a B3200. How...

    Ballast Box Dimension

    A rear scraper or any rear implement is fine for ballast but now you have to watch out for one more thing when backing and turning. A compact ballast box with tool holding features is the way to go. I want to keep my cg as low as possible so I was thinking about adding pipe legs to the 4...

    3-pt Control Lever Resistance

    Not completely. If I release the lever from the full up position it will rebound to lower If I release the lever from the slow up position it will return to neutral (most of the time) If I place it in the neutral - it stays there and does not creep down. I have gotten into the habit of manually...

    3-pt Control Lever Resistance

    Operator Error!! I talked with my dealer and he showed me how to correct it. That round knob below the front side of the seat for 3-pt speed control. When this is set too close to the "Open" position this will happen. I though it was for how fast the 3-pt comes down but it also effects the...

    3-pt Control Lever Resistance

    I have a new 2011 B3200 and am questioning whether my 3-pt control lever is working properly When I raise the 3-pt to the top and let the lever go it recoils to the slow down position - is that normal? I think it moves to the down position with the slightest jar. I would be picking up some dirt...
