Attaboy! Adapt & Overcome

Well, there goes all your WHEELIE fun ;-)

Hmmm. I like this idea. I'll have to try something along these lines. Thanks everyone !

Put the FEL loader on......(y).......and an hour later, smartly broke off the hood ornament, dagnabit.:oops:

Did all filters/fluids 2 days ago and thought I might have had a leak (didn't--different story) so today I put on the FEL (first time this season) and was just double checking engine oil level and caught my fri~!#$~k#$ hood ornament on the brush guard. I've been meaning to loosen up and...

When was the last time the hydraulic fluid was replaced?--that machine is ~20yrs old.

I wish I had an M5400 that I just forgot about....for 20yrs ! LOL Best I've ever done is found a $20 bill in my Levis after it's been through the washer & dryer. Congrats ! (sorry, I don't have a serious answer/reply for you......sounds like you are quite a few levels above my pay grade)

No, I would have no idea of the Princess Auto Part #...I think I wrapped a string around where the belt would go or maybe some other method that I no longer recall. You're in PA, USA I think, so I doubt the Princess Auto Part# would do you much good ! Go to Messicks.com website and look up...

Yeah, I just bought an el-cheapo belt @ Princess Auto (Harbour Freight) for like $10-$15 or something and it's been going strong for a couple years now. At nearly 1/2" shorter, it was a little tricky to install, but made all the difference in the world. Not saying this is your issue but maybe...

Yours must be different than mine. Mine does definitely NOT have a dipstick for the transmission nor any easy way to check fluid level. I had(have had) similar issues with mine after warm, on hills. Because I have a very slow leak I topped up the fluid with something a little thicker (which I...

Thanks Jim, That jives 100% with what I saw ! I think there's a conversion typo in my OPM & WSM both. They say 3 US Gal, then say 11.3L (but it's just like you said....12.5L) Cheers from NB

(bx2380) 50 hr service at (ahem) 70hrs. (oops) :rolleyes: No idea how much I saved by doing it myself, but surely hundreds $$ (??) I found a few small random "bits" of white sealant and 1 rather big piece of white sealant in the drainpan for the hydraulic fluid the size of a good sized big...

KEEP

Thanks Mikester ! !

Oh! In that case, I got nuttin'...sorry dude. Someone smarter than I will wander along with better(more accurate) info. I know "pressure" has to be off of it to get that dang thing to turn. It's nearly impossible on my TG (23yrs old) and finicky on my BX (even though it's only 2-3yrs old)_

On my TG (for sure) and on my B X (I think), I raise it (the 3pt) all the way up then keep turning it 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5 I think it only (easily) goes clockwise. I stand to be corrected/.

THank you Jim ! I just got a WSM last night and don't have it with me (I'm on the road, for work) but will see if I have anything like that in mine. Sounds like sound advice. I had wondered about the whole "jacking up the wheels" and all that. Seemed a bit like overkill to me ;-) Appreciate...

Ahem ;-) Subject line:

I put on/take off , my deck with the 3pt it lowered all the way down...and my deck is normally set to 3.5 or 4 (never zero)(BX2380) I don't recall setting mine to "0" beforehand.........though I suppose it's possible....maybe I am just not recalling that step. If it's set to 4 or whatever...

Evil, Yeah....I am not sure, so that's why I asked the question (see the 2 screenshots I posted). Who knows. I bought the stuff already, so I am going to swap it and waste $90 in fluid, but I'll sleep easy I guess. It was the whole "jacking it up and running wheels" that I was curious about...
