Got frisky today. Got up, did my home exercises for the left shoulder and decided I felt pretty good and wanted to do something outside today. Temps in the high 50's, if not low 60's, sunny, slight breeze, but absolutely wonderful weather. Started out wearing my Carhart hoodie jacket (hood...

The problem with that label is, blind people can't see it. It needs to be in braille. "HOT, DO NOT TOUCH". We certainly don't want to discriminate against the vision impaired.

As long as you weren't snortin' snow. :sneaky:

You're lucky it didn't get shipped USPS. I ordered some parts for my riding mower on 12/10/2020. I got them on 01/14/21. They left the dealer on 12/11 (I got a shipping notice and tracking number from them in e-mail). Post office had it the rest of the time with a promise "it is being...

Unless you can figure out a way to make torque disappear in the drive shaft(without shearing the bolt) doesn't particularly matter which end it's on. Starting the attachment, there's a little 'shock' when the clutches engage, but not that much if you back off on RPM to just above idle before...

You people made my cholesterol go up about 10 points just by looking at the pictures.

Now THAT looks GOOD.

Amazon is your friend. Just search for Tractor Seat. I saw a suspension style seat in top of the list for about $150. You'll obviously get what you pay for, so choose carefully. Personally, I don't mind the seat on the exact model tractor you bought. I just got mine in November. I may get...

Yeah, I've already seen that one. Good one if you have a shed to park in and can leave items in the basket. Not so good if you wanna keep stuff dry, though, and don't have a shed. Like I said, I keep a rubber mallet, a pair of channel lock pliers, and a crescent wrench in mine with a...

This was easier than I thought. Took some 1" steel box beam and made two like this. My welds aren't very pretty until I grind them down smooth. But I do that anyway for appearance and to check penetration. This one's ready for paint. Didn't bother with primer since I was using Rustoleum...

You didn't read all of what I wrote. I know the BH77 is used on a lot of platforms, including more of the L series than you noted, and that it also has a few variants that aren't denoted by the model number. I have the instructions/marketing materials for it, and I did actually read all of it...

Picked up a pretty nice little metal ammo can from HF today, and a few bits of hardware and a can of orange Rustoleum paint from HD today. Time to put a better toolbox on the LX. Spot checked the paint inside the bucket for color match today. Close enough. May do the deed tomorrow if the...

Well, I don't think I petted or played with anyone's ex-wife around a pool, though a few of the pool owners were prime candidates for such activities.

Like Henro said, if you back drag, you are putting collapsing forces on the bucket curl cylinders (i.e. trying to roll the bucket up) against the unvented rod end. Hydraulic oil does not compress, and will be just as hard as steel when this happens. The bucket/SSQA pivot is a fairly long moment...

Dunno if I have anything around here that will stick to the bucket that bad that I have to shovel it back out. I generally wash the bucket out with high pressure hose.

Thanks. Took about an hour and a half to put all four on. If those pull out, I'm gonna need a new bucket. That one won't be reparable. They're yellow zinc galvanized, and I'm debating painting them. They look OK without paint, so I may leave them as is as long as they don't rust. If they...

I feel your pain, times 2. My right shoulder was FUBAR. Complete rupture. I couldn't raise my right hand above shoulder height. I couldn't even put a cup of coffee in the microwave above he stove. Surgery on 06/12/20. Left one had bone spurs and arthritis that was wearing down the minor...

Here's what I did: The dealer's shop guy that delivered mine suggested this arrangement. With the bucket fully tipped, the d-rings inside the bucket are actually slightly behind the pivot pins for the bucket, which allows using the full lift capacity of the FEL without putting any...

You certainly had plenty ballast on the back with a BH77, especially if it's the dedicated seat version (18 inches longer). Assuming, of course, you had the BH77 on when you unloaded. How long does it take you to swap out from 3PH to backhoe, or backhoe to 3PH? Gotta be done to dig one day...

I have a valid reason, or perhaps a really good doctor's excuse. I've only had the tractor since the last week of November 2020. I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder on June 12, 2020, on the left shoulder on October 29, 2020, and I'm just now getting so that it doesn't turn me into...
