I might be out in left field on this but isn't 3/4 npt 3/4-14? If it is and the same od would you be able to chase the thread carefully with a pipe tap? the taper might actually make it easier to start straight. I am working from memory here and was thinking 3/4 pipe is about an inch and an...

That is quite a nice unit Jay! Definitely got me thinking about what I could do here. Thanks for taking the time to post this. Bill

My L2501 has a similar switch to the one pictured and was a little sensitive for me when I tried to lean forward to see the forks. I put a short piece of 1/4" id air hose on it and that was enough to push it down a bit more so I haven't had it happen all summer. bill

Nice job on the cab! Bill

Nice job on the install details! Bill

I have a homemade one from 2" box tubing tapered on the points. It is always on the 8N and used for moving firewood on skids. Like you I use it for everything on skids stones bags of concrete, second tire set for truck etc. I store my firewood skids on metal roofing on the ground and covering...

Is that a manufactured cab or your own design? I like it! Bill

I have a dearborn plow on my 8N that I converted to hydraulic lift and angle. They were mounted and raised with a crude cable mount. I altered the original and made a mount at the transmission it pushes and pivots from. I originally did it with a electric/hydraulic unit I bought I think from...

The 2 sliding portions of the shaft will have to have their side of the universals on the same plane. I don't have this machine but it is the same with all your rear pto shafts too. So if they don't go together one way turning one end 180 should then get you to the "key" in the spline and...

Yes I did update that when I changed to 12 volt adding a gm alternator. Those things made it a sure starter in the winter here in upstate new york. A couple years ago I did a valve job replacing all of them. An old mechanic local to me came and ground the valves for me with one of those, I...

Sounds like what i posted a couple weeks ago is getting worse. My son who drives a lot for work is trying to get a couple changes stocked ahead and finding his favorite is short too. It must be in some areas more than others maybe because of trucking, because here in NY napa and advance auto...

It was a bit of work but I put one of those on my 1950 8n. What a difference with the arthritic shoulders! Got the control from the guy on ebay. I still have the 8n for snow plowing and firewood. Bill

And I'm hoping we in NY win ours that is waiting on the Supreme Court!

I have the same machine with the rear tires loaded. I find in the woods it always needs the 4 wheel in. Are you sure you are getting yours engaged? Bill

Do you have any pictures of yours? I have one from a garden tractor I have thought about powering with a hydraulic motor but a gas engine would be doable too. thanks in advance if you do, Bill

That sounds interesting! I have a couple walk behinds but no tractor mount. Bill

I was reading the specs, isn't it that 4.63" difference in several places and in the overall length of the 2 both closed and extended? How does that extended number compare to the top link you have now? I don't have one of these but know my L2501 came with a top link for a different model I...

I would have to agree after going back and looking. That doesn't look like it has had much use. Bill

I agree, maybe I can get a few pictures. bill

I assembled my own. I got some from surplus center. I made a bracket behind the seat for about a 5 gal tank. Brkt on the right for loader valve which controls lift and power angle on a dearborn frt plow for snow. This might interest you, I made mount and second holes on 3pt stuff to use a...
