You can use something like this. It’s pretty handy for hooking up, given that it can lift the trailer tongue. I don’t think it’s a problem to tow a couple tons that way. Congrats on getting a new “real” tractor. That’s a pretty good step up. I think you’ll enjoy that L6060, Just don’t tear the...

How “easy” is it to find a dyno that a tractor can be run on? IIRC, early in this thread you mentioned it took some effort to find one. But maybe you were looking for a certain type? Another member here on OTT is suffering with a low power situation. Reportedly his dealer put the tractor on...

I suspect the orientation and location of the oil filters amoungst different vehicle’s probably impacts how big a mess is made when a filter is removed. My brother’s Challenger has the oil filter right on top of the engine (left, rear IIRC). I believe it’s a cartridge style. He said it make no...

Well the more modern tractors are. Not sure about yours since you’re asking. On my tractors the nut is welded to the face of the tube that the ROPS is made of.

And somehow I’m not surprised at the behavior of the dealer. Did you actually see the “dyno”? The fact that they wouldn’t have a $70 fuel contamination test (that they could charge you for) to confirm a $10k diagnosis speaks volumes about their integrity and their interest in being sure they...

Probably a waste of time and money. A block off plate will make it mulch a little better on one side of one blade. Look at the JD photo above. Each blade needs to be able to recut the leave to mulch them. Sure they will get cut up somewhat without those baffles, but not nearly as much. But maybe...

See any rust? If so, lube, heat, beat, lube and rattle. Then chase the treads with a tap (metric I suspect) and replace the pins.

I have to type with my eyes open, so nope, don’t have that particular problem.

The only “evidence” of fuel contamination is the “rag burn” test the dealer claimed to have conducted right before they said they could fix it for $10k. I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there’s a 90% chance what you’ve been told is 100% hogwash. Here’s a test you can perform yourself...

I do, a HF manual one. I’ve never made bigger messes in my life than I have with that thing. But it’s when I use it to install fluids in shallow containers and it bubbles after all the fluid is delivered. I just don’t use it for that any more. As to messy oil changes, most of it is from the...

Wow. He trashes his equipment. I don’t think I’d want to loan him anything or have him run my stuff. He ended up damaging both pieces of equipment with the brush clearing. Looked like he was actually trying to screw up the grill hitting trees. I’m pretty sure that mower wasn’t suppose to be...

More postcard worth photos. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas.

They told you $10k with a straight face? Wow, zero conscious. The negative karma points will kick thbutt hard someday. Have you replaced the fuel filter? Odd that an actual dyno couldn’t tell them what your butt dyno can. And the dyno says all is good, but the “burning rag” test can...

Close. My math suggests about 140 thousands of an inch longer on the diagonal, a bit over an 1/8th inch. I suspect that’s most of the conflict. Should be able to confirm with a regular old tape measure.

I must need to learn how to do an oil change properly on one of these cartridge filters my Tundra has. I have done 47 oil changes with that system in the last 15 years and a similar number of oil changes with conventional spin on filters in that time frame (and at least that many prior to the...

lol. My “lightly used” Land Pride RCR1860 had the stump jumper crack all around the pivot point for the blades. My good friend has done much welding on it over the years. It’s on its second gear box, second set of skids, second tail wheel frame, third tail wheel, third set of blades (maybe...

You’re a good friend to your “friend”. Solving the problem of filled door pockets in a unique manner. Not that I’d know anything of the sort. Terrible boating accident sometime back.

You’re welcome. If price is a consideration, you might look at the CDI grapples, the standard units. I have one and I think it’s pretty well built. It also has four hinge points for the upper (single) lid. Stout design. Here’s a little info I posted on it. CDI Grapple I’ve also posted a...

Hear hear! I have a couple Tundras with that silly engine oil filter cartridge system. Way more problematic than the traditional spin on filter that was good enough for the first 5 decades Toyota imported cars to the US. I sort of think it might have started when Toyota started “making” cars in...

I’m not entirely sure R14s are common in that large of a size yet? Someone here will know. Hard to go wrong with R1s on an L unless you’re on pavement or turf most of the time. I have R14s on my B. I wouldn’t have them on my L, even if I could.
