If you haven't tried WD yet, get some spray lithium grease and get it wet on a couple sides. That stuff weeps pretty well when wet. Wipe off the excess and you should fine it much easier.

Sheepfarmer, Lubing those takes some spray lithium grease (Home Depot). Shake up the can good first. You could use some of the "extra" loader grease but it would attract dirt and be a booger to clean when it got all "gumulated." The main areas are the pivots the lever rides on. Spray lithium...

My L3800HST has 187 hours... Range shifting is usually smooth. It occasionally hangs up and I have to move the gears slightly to get them to engage. Remember, except for your differential, the transmission gears in a tractor are straight cut. If there is no movement at all they should slip...

A brilliant 5-step strategy The Speculative Investor December 30, 2014 Rescue major banks by transferring to them, through various channels, a few hundred billion dollars of taxpayers’ money. Call this money transfer the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), because calling it the Bailout At...

Sammy, I went back through the threads and couldn't find the one discussing that... Yup, I bought the right hand handle for my 3800. It was from the next bigger series... I wanna say a Grand. All the handles are the same bolt pattern I believe You just want to get the right-hand handle. I'll...

OUCH! :eek: That left a mark -or two. Any damage to the block or was it contained?

Not sure if some of those ideas would be safe on a moving machine... Howsabout turning off the start switch and letting the fuel shutoff valve close? No gas=no go. Works every time we shut our tractors down. (Same thing they teach in Drivers Ed.) Anyone who grew up playing with model...

Butt-kicking job Anders! You can haul all kind of stuff in that: tools, generators, small equipment, groceries, kids, dogs, and wood. You made a practical tool even more practical. Thanks for stimulating our imaginations by sharing your project in pictures. I want to start a similar project...

Wax protects from oxidation which results from UV damage. My tractor sat in the high country Arizona sun for 9 mos and the loader arms upper surfaces are noticeably faded. The paint on our tractors is a one-coat process, unlike a car which has a base color coat and then a clear coat to seal in...

MDHughes, Only takes a quarter of an inch to solve that problem. Bracket bends by hand. The real problem is the seat: It's flimsy and twists when you lean over.

By the time you buy the handle (off a bigger model but the correct handle) and the nuts to go with it, you are going to spend close to $60. Reportedly, the reason the series doesn't come with a handle on the right side is because the lawyers didn't want users mounting and dismounting their...

That's great you can see the bottom of your tank. In the L3800, the tank is so convoluted you can't see past the first corner. I have a CARB fuel tank spout deep in the innards of my tank and after an hour of trying to fish it out, I asked the dealer. He said it was probably diesel capable and...

They sell sleeves to build up your smaller CAT I pin to the CAT II or III lower clearances. Pop those on and you are good to go. Let us know how strong your frame is. Some have suggested they bend under heavier loads. I musta bought the last Pat's hooks! :)

Posted By Michael Snyder On January 1, 2015 Zero Hedge Who is to blame for the staggering collapse of the price of oil? Is it the Saudis? Is it the United States? Are Saudi Arabia and the U.S. government working together to hurt Russia? And if this oil war continues, how far will the price...

Fro, New Finish is a silicone-based paint sealant that should have zero negative effects on powder coating. Two coats, within 30 days seals in the paint surface for about a year. If your tractor is shaded under a pole barn, you'll be set. Consumer Reports has consistently rated New Finish at...

You probably could file them with no ill affect. One question I had for my dealer last week was regarding the ROPS with my nifty roof panel. (You gotta get one of those! Keeps you out of the sun and mostly out of the rain.) With nearly 200 hours on the machine, the ROPS hinge is fairly loose...

A very Happy New Year from Cave Creek Arizona where it is snowing at the moment. Glad I have my tractor all set up! Hope it doesn't drift. Glad I laid in provisions this week. :)

My wife caught this on CraigsList. Don't know the owner or any details more than what is posted. Its in my town if anyone wants me to look at it for them. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/grd/4820571568.html

I ordered Pat's this week after scratching my head for a few days. I also ordered the draw bar spreader as it makes it even easier once you set up the spreader with marks for your implements. (White fingernail polish works great..) The quality control on the Titan is typical "Chickenese." One...

A buddy made his ballast box more useful that just a block of concrete... Weighs 95% as much but its a heck more useful. Welded metal box with PVC sleeves for hand tools and chainsaw blade sleeves. Concrete filled and top coated with bed liner. Congrats!!!
