Please know I admire your informational posts about hydraulics etc. My problems might be different as I have a 8n which i installed a front pump and system about 10 years ago. It has worked great for me with over time I have added hydraulics for a dump trailer, rear blade angle, and york rack. I...

While I agree we have all these attachments, I can take the splitter into the woods then use forks or the trailer to move the wood out as I split. Not tying the tractor up to one task helps me do it. I respect your ways if they work for you. I can use the grapple on the front to move logs to cut...

I have a stand alone splitter and prefer not to mix fluids too. But I have a 3pt trailer receiver I made and I welded some 2" box solidly on the splitter. I can then put it on the 3pt to take where I want and can leave it in the woods to use or on the tractor. I try to handle my wood as few as...

I just read some of that, It sounds like a low voltage going thru all the switches due to some resistance not being able to pull in the oem relay. But by re-feeding that relay from the bat terminal thru a small relay that is able to pull in despite low voltage and it works. So still a switch...

Hey I checked mine as a known good and here is what I see. I can start mine standing next to it with brake on or off, the gear shift in gear and range in neutral. If I have the pto in there is no clicking at all, put it down and it starts. I held my range selector out and no start or click but...

Well if you can use a meter then that is a good way to start. Have you checked the battery terminals since you did the replacement? Maybe a poor connection there? I know I can start mine standing next to it if the range lever is in neutral and I think the brake set. Don't know if I have done it...

You say it is a L2501DT, so no HST treadle, I wonder if it might be in the range selector switch. If that isn't right it would not turn over over and would shut down if you got off the seat. Maybe a jiggle on that when you try cranking? Bill

I have a set for the 3pt I made probably 15 years ago or more with some 2" square tube. I have used them for everything and I palletize my firewood and move that. I bought forks for the kubota loader but quite a learning curve to that! Broke some pallets last year. I just added a backup camera...

Well I will probably get roasted for this but yes I added power steering, No loader but the high, low. direct sherman in it. Here is where the purists will disagree. I altered the steering with electric one out of some gm I think it was a saturn. Quite a bit of work but my arthritic shoulders...

I see you have an 8N too! I have a 1950, 3 years older than me! It is my plowing tractor for snow. I added a front pump and have hydraulics with a front mount dearborn plow. I changed the mounting and added power angle so it works quite well on my 300' plus driveway. I couldn't get rid of it...

I spent $535 in kubota dealer last month because I see this coming. I bought 2 pails of UDT2, 2 10 qt motor oil several oil filters, hydraulic filter, air filter, fuel filters and i think that was it. I might be missing something of what I picked up but figured It could be scarce when a change...

This isn't about orange but red, My 2006 miata. I went to make an appointment to get it inspected yesterday and because I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand on the 18th I asked if they would do my oil and filter. I usually do all my own work and they said sure but he needed to make sure...

While I have the L2501 and don't deal with it, your idea of doing at your convenience vs when the machine wants to take over is a good one. I can only imagine what this is like in over the road vehicles. I hope to make my vehicles I have last for the most of my remainder of operating years. I...

I have a L2501DT which I think gets a little better fuel use than the HST. I too found the gauge way off. I average about 0.5 gal per hour. I have taken a flat wooden molding about an inch wide and less than an eighth thick about 2 ft long. I can tip it with the top towards the front of the...

That is great Michael! I have an old ford 8N. It got to locking up years ago, I took the shift cover off not really know what I would find. It was a dog point screw in the linkage that was sheared off letting it get into 2 gears at once. Well I didn't have one but removing another one I copied...

Nice one Ken! I haven't seen a buck here yet on mine. Bill

Yes cortland county, Cincy to be exact. We went out back with the pups about 4 pm and bam, she found her first rub! Got her initials on it. Bill

I agree, nice for the area, I'm the next county over from you. Haven't seen any rubs yet in back of the house. Wife and I have a contest spotting rubs and making them with a sharpie. She usually wins as I can walk by one she can spot from a long ways off Bill

Glad to hear you got yours! Here is my Virnig! Bill

I am approximately 4 hours away, I couldn't put the gas in the truck down and back for the $150 shipping.
