And of course HAL = IBM - 0111

Oh yeah, I forgot this was Off Topic. heh heh. Thanks for the little bit of history. I looked up Dave Cutler ... I wasn't aware of the through-line from DEC into Windows NT ... Azure ... XBox. Interesting.

We're starting to hijack this thread ... but to answer your question .... RT-11. In business school ten years later we had a VAX ... VAX/VMS was wonderful. One of my biggest successes was modifying the RT-11 hard disk driver, which was in assembly language, to make two RK05 disks look like...

Years ago, decades ago, actually ... I was race director for the local motorcycle road-racing club. Terrible racer ... I always came in second to last ... but excellent administrator. One year we had a new track built on an old airfield. We set up the track using firehose stuffed with pea...

I think that if the lifter arms (the arms actuated by the hydraulics) were positioned directly above the drag arms (the things you hook up to the implement), then the drag arms would not need a ball joint where they connect to the back of the tractor ... a simple pivot would suffice. On a BX...

Yeah, I was going to buy the Speeco quick hitch but then I did some inspecting and concluded a quick hitch wasn't going to work. If I recall, one had a design that prevents the top hook from coming up from below, even with an extended hook. For future readers, the extended hook @RCW refers to...

I would have gone with a Quick Hitch in a heart-beat ... even had the brand picked out ... that one that doesn't require adapter sleeves. But alas my implements are not quick hitch compatible, so I went with the Pat's. I think once I get it dialed in, both in adjustment and technique, it should...

The tilting I am talking about is not the alignment between the Pat's and the draw arm. I'm talking about the tendency of the arm itself to flop to the outside. Remember the the arms are attached to the tractor with ball joints, so within limits, they can tilt from side to side. The linkage...

I opted not to get the spreader because I thought my telescoping stabilizers would be sufficient. And I think they are, for keeping the right distance between the arms. But the stabilizer bar, as @MINICUP28 confirmed, also help keep the arms from tilting, which is the problem I *might* be...

Oh, that problem's solved ... I realized that I don't have to lower the arms all the way and I've still got plenty of room to get underneath the pins on the implement. It's only when the arms are an inch or two above the lowest point where they actually get mechanically forced over. The only...

Thanks. The picture is actually my tractor. The 3PH is at its lowest point, where the drag arms are mechanically forced to twist. This is well below where the arms would ever be once the implement is attached, so I wouldn't to do the adjustment in that position. Once I raise the 3PH a couple of...

Yesterday I installed my new set of Pat's quick hitches onto my BX23S three point hitch. I believe the 3PH is the same on all BX series tractors. Some of my implements are not quick hitch compatible which is why I went with the Pat's. I have telescoping stabilizers, so I did not purchase the...

I too admired the hammer

For several years I've been thinking about mounting my tow-able gas-powered wood chipper onto my tractor. I finally did it today. The carry-all is a Behlen Country brand from Tractor Supply. The horizontal legs aren't quite square with the back (EDIT: in the horizontal plane...one is at a...

No fuss at all. You just slip in the adapter pin and bolt it in place and you're good to go.

I also lose the clip with some regularity. Sometimes I find it the dirt but usually not. I've never had the pin work its way out. I've thought about doing the bolt and nylock nut but haven't gotten around to it yet.

OMG that thought process seems awfully familiar to me. It's not good enough to actually have a use for something lying around in the shop, but there might be a better use for it. :LOL:

Yeah, this is the way. I hadn't thought of that. This is great! Thanks! Ok, well maybe on monday we'll hear from the Summit folks.

Absolutely and what I'll probably end up doing. The nice thing about get a kit is that I don't have to do any measuring or thinking.:D

Well if Summit made a kit then presumably they would use electric valves like they do with the other kits. I'm going to guess that the reason you ask is because the electric valves don't have a PB port, right? Here's my attempt to diagram the plumbing for both backhoe on and off...
