Curious, but somewhere, somehow I came to believe that the 3PH was designed to pull, rather than push. With this in mind, I do push sometimes but I am always concerned that I might be risking something... Like anything else, I suppose there is a fine line between use and abuse. If pushing I...

Sometimes I feel like I'm all thumbs! At least it has the hydraulics in place if I would want to add a thumb later...:)

Wow! All I can say is you are a better man than I am! I would be extremely uncomfortable even if I had an inch of clearance... OK, I guess I am a wimp...

I would just add that if you would use a liquid tire sealant and later have a puncture that requires something like a patch on the inside of the tire, tire shops may not want to deal with the hassle of cleaning/prep required to install a patch. Myself, I view those liquid tire sealants as a...

White smoke may be telling you something. I am no expert, by any means, but remember reading that white smoke is a sign of water... Hopefully someone with more experience/knowledge can comment?

Well I have heard it said a few times that you can buy a used mini EX for the same price as a backhoe attachment, and was skeptical that one could even get close unless it was a POS mini Ex. I was thinking of buying a L2501 with a BH77 backhoe, as I was tired of dealing with my 3PH backhoe on...

As others have indicated, the directional pedal should return to center when you lift your foot off of it. But my B2910 (I bought it new) with over 1800 hours acts the same as you describe. I just tap it to center with a slight touch of my boot. AND I am guilty of lubricating everything else...

Those look like R4 tires that you have. Some here have spent time to adjust chain length AND cross chain length, to make ladder chains work with R4 tires. I did not do that, and just used the ladder chains as I received them from tirechains.com. I had less than optimal results. Problem being...

How cold is it? Certainly sounds like your fuel is gelling due to cold temperatures. Additive to the tank, even if what you added has anti gelling properties, will likely not solve a gelling issue in the fuel lines. You may have to figure out a way to warm the tractor up a bit so the fuel in...

I had to laugh only because along with knowing nothing about that company, I just realized I also don't know anything about Obsessive Compulsive Behavior...:ROFLMAO:

After thinking about this, I’ve concluded that neither a 54 inch bucket or a 60 inch bucket for a B series tractor could be considered heavy duty. I bent the side of my 54" bucket somehow a couple years ago. Previously I had welded angle across the top for Chain hooks, and my heavy duty tooth...

I used to work with a guy that said that every electrical issue could be traced to something either being "open, shorted or grounded." Pretty true actually...LOL

I am having trouble visualizing how a bad ground or even removing the battery while the engine was running would cause damage to the alternator...guess the alternator could be driven to maximize its output voltage by whatever control is system is in place, but still would not expect the...

Mine sounds like yours as far as erratic operation goes. Been that way since new. Since it does not work reliably when it works, why worry about it? I don't now and would not if mine failed like yours... Guess it could be a failed sensor or shorted wiring... I just try to remember to look...

Your memory is half right. We have had Subarus for probably two decades. But I never really drove cars in this country like you remember. Motorcycles, when young, were a different story though... Now in Europe, especially Germany, when we were traveling for three weeks quite a while ago, the...

How many holes and what diameter? Was that clay really wet? The stuff I have problems with is more like modeling clay. Sticks to the sides AND back. Not sure holes in the back would help...

That logic would lead one to conclude the 60 inch bucket should then be termed a “light material” bucket. But if the material both buckets are made from is the same, and the span of one bucket is 10% more, the wider bucket is more likely to develop a smile than the narrower one. So it must be a...

I initially ordered a 60” for my B2910, but then changed to a 54”. Just slightly wider than my tires. Never regretted it. Did buy a heavy duty tooth bar and reinforced the top lip with angle for welding on chain hooks. Still last year managed somehow to bend one of the sides. Reinforced them...

RCW...my perception is the same. But I never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. We have slept in our Ford van a few times in the distant past though...LOL. Until it got too old to trust over any distance...:cry:

I forgot to say thanks for the input Bulldog. What you said is what I was thinking. I assume the hydraulic pump on a small excavator has constant output for a given rpm, and the speed of the hydraulic motors is controlled by diverting some of the flow to the motors. Just like we can adjust a...
