    Summit 3rd Function Kit Choice

    I used a Summit kit for my MX5100 with a Ansung loader. Once you have the push button handle and solenoid's, the rest is hoses fittings and brackets. I placed the solenoid's to the inboard side of the loader support to be better protected. I used longer hoses and made sure everything...

    How often do you check hardware?

    I tighten fasteners accordingly, sometimes I change the nuts to either ny-loc's or distorted thread. Some fasteners i.e. loader, wheels, etc. get Locite 243, Permatex orange or anti-seize depending. I use a white paint pen and place horizonal lines across the bolt or nut/stud. A quick visual...

    Help-Mx5200 first hydraulic fluid change

    If you haven't refilled it yet, I'd suggest removing it per the manual, It's a 10mm allen and you'll need a beaker bar or impact, ensure that the allen wrench is fully inserted. If you've filled it, you probably are OK. You may want to consider breaking it loose and retighten without removing...

    Mx5100H Drawbar Question

    Yes, they were both 25mm. 15/16" pins are not available, 7/8" would be loose, my Ford 4000 has 1" holes, by drilling the holes I stayed with a common pin. I still can't understand why the parts diagram shows the same picture but different part numbers. What I have will work but the I believe the...

    Mx5100H Drawbar Question

    Thanks for the response, yes I could flip it over and will probably need to do that. I'm not sure if I could bend the needed offset in such a short space and the amount of heat required might weaken the drawbar. I drilled out the drawbar and hammer strap to 1" in order to use readily available...

    Mx5100H Drawbar Question

    My recently purchased MX5100H, has the standard drawbar frame but was missing the drawbar. I'm accustomed to and have equipment that uses a clevis type drawbar (drawbar with hammer strap). I don't need the swinging type. I purchased drawbar pt. # 35080-29710 and drawbar hitch pt.# 35080-29720...

    Replace Hydrolic Oil?

    With the price of hydraulic oil and filters, sealing washers are cheap and good to have in hand when changing your fluid. The same holds true for engine oil changes. Solid copper sealing washers get brittle over time and don't allow for the proper crush which leads to over tightening

    3rd function addition advice

    You can either switch hoses as others have said or swap the connectors on the solenoids, which ever is easier and seems right to you.

    3rd function addition advice

    I recently installed Summit's TFK5 kit on my MX5100 with a Ansung loader and am well satisfied with the quality. As always do as you feel is best but I suggest buying directly from Summit to insure that you get the property kit for your tractor, as others have said their support is great. When...

    Third Function Valve Kit

    I ordered the 3rd function kit, they did charge($32.00) to upgrade to the flat face connectors, so it will match the skid steer flat face connectors on the grapple. I'm all in for $582.00. Thanks

    Third Function Valve Kit

    PaulL, you bring up a good point and there are various types of quick disconnects. I agree they should match, is there one type of connector preferred over other types? I'll only be using the grapple occasionally and don't believe I'll have any other use for the 3rd function. Thanks

    Third Function Valve Kit

    Thanks for the response's. At least there's only three or four choices for 3rd function kits, when it comes to grapples they're scores of choices (size, type, price, etc.), I'll cross that bridge after installing the 3rd function.

    Third Function Valve Kit

    I'm considering purchasing a 3rd function kit from Summit Hydraulics for my MX5100, has anyone had bad experiences with their product? It seems there's a big price jump (3-4 hundred) using other brand kits. Thanks

    MX5100 Fuse Box Cover

    Thanks, I'll call Messick's and ask if it comes with the cover, I don't mind the $33.00, although I might tether it to the tractor. I'm not sure how the cover came up missing. Thanks

    MX5100 Fuse Box Cover

    After purchasing a used MX5100H tractor , I noticed that the fuse box cover was missing, I thought that it was no big deal and that the next time I ordered parts, I'd get one. Much to my surprise it's only available if you purchase the fuse box/wiring harness for a mere $870.00. Does anyone...

    MX5100H 3rd function

    I like to install a 3rd function valve on my recently purchased MX5100H with a Ansung 2150B loader and would ask which "kit" is preferred i.e. WR long, Summit, Land Pride, etc. I like the idea of having control on the joystick. Thanks in advance.

    Is methanol normally used to fill tractor tires? It would seem dangerous, if you get a puncture around a burn pile. Just my .02

    MX5100D Tractor Purchase

    I just joined the forums and am getting ready to purchase a used 2013 MX5100D 4WD with HST with 270 hours and a Ansung 2150b loader and would like to ask what items I should look for? It's clean no apparent oil leaks, R4 tires look good, the loader is brand new, it has a canopy on the ROPS...
