How long does it take with your setup to do your plowing with an average snow fall? My little wirehair Rudy, last night on the last trip thru the edge of the woods at 9pm got about 5 whitetails out of their beds. He thinks he is a force to be reconciled with all his 40 lbs. He loves the snow...

I like seeing the inspector/ supervisor on the porch helping! Bill

I started wearing hearing aids about 7 years ago. I noticed right away how loud the continuity beep was again just like when it was new. I had thought it was getting old and weak but it was me! Mine was company bought but it was given to me as my retirement "gold watch" by my supervisor. There...

And you followed your Kepner-Tregoe training by first looking for anything that was recently changed or worked on. Got to give you a passing grade on that. It was one of the best company required courses I took back in the 90's, except maybe arc flash training when doing hot work. Bill

My fluke 87 might be 30 years old, what does a thousand year old fluke look like? Are they made out of stone or bronze or are they made like a Ouija board? Bill

The LA525fl is your loader number not your tractor number. Tractor model is on the hood. Bill

Thank you, and thanks for getting this thread started. I had commented on it back when you started sharing your frustration. Time will tell if it was good design come spring. But I have to say I love this right for me size L2501 w/ the BH77. It just needs some tweaks here and there. My making...

Thank you, Bill

Maybe a picture of where the hole is on the tank. If it is anywhere near the filler neck you might be able to thread one of the tire valve style vents on a wire to it after drilling a hole. or it is thick enough there tap for a bolt with an o-ring and then epoxy over it.

If it was near the top could you drill and put one of those yellow gas can vents in?

I am having a lot of arthritis and trigger finger problems, I have a weak grip too. But his tool looks like something I might have to have! I have a handle for pulling in valve stems and an assortment of stems on hand. It is that little funnel thing I lack. Thanks for posting it. Bill

If you can' find them at like napa, rockauto list those repair connectors for a lot of applications. If your vehicle is a little older like mine you can find a used one at the pick and pulls around here to splice in. I am sure your repair will probably do as I have done the same before. Just...

Never would have figured that but as IWM said polarity needed to be checked. Thanks for the update and glad to hear you got it figured out. Sorry about me leading off about the 8N starter in trying to understand . Bill

I ripped my right outrigger hose off in the woods with a grape vine and have given some thought to guard/step combo. My thought but untried is to make the guard protect the hose and fasten it to each cylinder with a couple of right sized exhaust clamps as long as it missed everything when up and...

Couldn't say it better, even if I have to get on and off the tractor and backhoe seats! But sometimes I have my wife on the tractor to move it. Bill

I love those half moons. Our local store carries the ones from Utica. I treat myself to a tray of 8 then separate them to freeze in ziplocs for when I need a fix! Bill

I made my BH77 thumb hydraulic My son made me a couple test knobs with 3d printer for the bh levers that I mounted a button in the top of each, one opens one closes. I have a wire going to an old style 4 pin round trailer connector on the ropes for that and 2, 1/4" hose couplings there. It is...

https://www.surpluscenter.com/_MoreSpecs/I9-4128.pdf Could you use a valve like this and just loop the second cylinder output ports? Then one output position would feed the backhoe and the other would be your bypass position. Bill

Me too with 8n comparison ! And now you mention sprag clutch I worked with loss in weight feeders that used them so the permanent magnet motor could be reversed and drive a faster speed of gears with the auger still driving the same direction Brain is starting to wake up. Bill

I worked with DC motor drives in the past and until you mentioned I forgot about the difference between the 2 types of motors, Thanks for waking this old 70 yo brain up!
