    Front Axle Oil Level

    This might be a silly question, but here goes. Tomorrow I am going to check the front axle lube as many have suggested. My question is this, my owners manual says either Kubota Super UDT-2 OR SAE 80-SAE-90 gear oil. Which lube should I expect to have in mine from the factory/dealer (L2501...

    Obviously I am Doing something (everything) wrong..

    Thanks for the picture! From my experience that is a strange one. I guess dirt of just the right size has gotten in between the pin and inside bore of the ball but I have never experienced this issue. Sorry your having this trouble with a new machine!

    Obviously I am Doing something (everything) wrong..

    So If understanding you correctly it appears as if the balls at the ends of the lift arms are rusted or froze onto the pin itself?

    Obviously I am Doing something (everything) wrong..

    Hate to ask this but are your check chains and turnbuckles or stabilizer arms adjusted to allow the lift arms to swing out and away from the pins? Or is it obvious that the lift arm balls are "froze" on the pins?

    Box blade width

    I would think that the 60 inch would be a better choice, but with that being said, nothing would prevent you from running a narrower one especially if leaving tire tracks behind in your project is not a concern. I ran a 48inch KingKutter XB box blade behind my L2501 all last summer. Not my...

    New BX control stick return-to-center function

    I have a L2501 and with about 30 hours of bucket grapple work the loader control stick would not return to a neutral position. I had to nudge it into position. With mine it was the linkage underneath the plastic cover that needed lube. Not sure if yours uses external linkage like mine but its...

    New L2501! Well kinda...

    If not mistaken I believe that the L2501 is shipped with the right front axel disassembled with dealer doing that final assemble. My brand new L2501 had the right tie rod end falling off the very first time I backed it of my garage. The tech at the dealership neglected to install the crown nut...

    Martin House Help...

    I had tree swallows hogging the blue bird houses on my land and did as Jimh406 suggested and put another house on the same post. Both species will tolerate each other in close proximity but not another of the same. BTW Tree Swallows are native but do not get the same love as the Eastern Blue...

    Wisconsin DNR Snapshot Wi program

    Thanks! Sorry you were not able to host a camera but glad you have fun with your own. I also have my own and I have had a ton of pleasure checking and maintaining them. I had my first bobcat on cam this fall . Like Deepwoods in Northern Minnesota we are blessed with a variety of wildlife here...

    Wisconsin DNR Snapshot Wi program

    I was in the same boat as you the first time I had one on trail cam! I was like, "what the heck is that?!" A member of the mustelid or commonly called weasel family. They were hunted and trapped for their fur to near extinction but making a comeback. I think in the Pacific Northwest efforts...

    Wisconsin DNR Snapshot Wi program

    Neat story! I have only seen one with my own eyes, it was crossing the country road close to sundown next to my land. Larger than I imagined and the sun was low glistening thru its coat. I have heard the fisher scream once and it raised the hairs on my neck! lol.

    Wisconsin DNR Snapshot Wi program

    What part of northern Wisconsin? I spent a lot of time in my youth in the Forest county area, Crandon in particular.

    Wisconsin DNR Snapshot Wi program

    I thought some folks here might find this program that is run by the Wisconsin DNR interesting. Its called Snapshot Wisconsin. The DNR divided the state into 9 square mile (3 miles on a side) blocks with the end goal of placing a trail cam in every block. I believe they are close to half way...

    3 point lever not staying in place

    I doubt this will apply to your problem but thought I would share anyways. My three point lever started acting wonky in that it would not return to a neutral position and when operating it would "kick" out of the center position. My tractor is a B7100hst. I had been lubing the rod with the...

    VOIP?

    I have ATT Uverse for my internet service plus phone service which is VOIP. For the most part I can not tell the difference compared to when I had just a dedicated phone line. The one thing they warn you about is that 911 services might not be able to pin point the location that the call comes...
