I feel very much the same Bill. I look forward to your write ups. (and remember...pics or it didn't happen;) The SSQA mod is on my list as well. I have been kicking the idea around of using 2 shorter actuators (one on each end) in order to speed it up, instead of just one longer-slower one...

But are they "Sofa King low"?

For some reason the quote of Isaac Newton just popped into my head and it seems appropriate to post it here. "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Isaac Newton

I feel like I need a cigarette now! Best write up ever!!! So good and thorough in fact, I am having a hard time coming up with any questions. Was the water running on to the floor for cooling the dyno? Paul

Thanks Bill, Yours looks great too. I find it fascinating that the same "guard" can be made in so many different configurations. It's a lot like art I suppose. If you have 20 people paint a picture of the exact same apple, you will undoubtedly get 20 very different pictures. My other...

What is the problem with the reverse alarm?

Very nice tractor! Ginop's were nice people. I would not hesitate to deal with them again. I hope y'all have been building ice this week. Heading up Thursday to do some fishing.:)

+1 Not sure if there is a "best" grease, but I've had good luck with Lucas Red and Tacky. I have been using it for years on auto's, trailers, and the like, and I'm pretty confident that it does 'pretty good' on loader and BH pins as well. I suppose in about 3850 hours I'll be able to give you...

This👆 Plus I just like making things. I can't begin to count how much money I have "wasted" by making things for myself. I usually 'justify it' to the finance committee by saying "well those _________'s are gonna cost $500, so for that kind of money I could invest in a plasma cutter and...

Nice clean install. I couldn't find any for my L2501 so I had to go a different route.

My boat is stored in an unheated metal barn and has 3 AGM trolling batteries and an AGM starting battery. I would rather wrestle a giant alligator then to try and remove them so I just use a battery tender and have never had a problem. I wont pull them out until it's time to replace them...

Thanks Mike, and yea those other areas are getting some protection. Thanks Smokey. I never realized how much of a problem those stick can be. They sure do pop up where/when you least expect it.

I did not like the LP scarifier adjustment clips on the 12 series. Just something about the set up that bugged me. I went with Homestead Pinnacle series mostly because I likes the pinned in scarifiers and because I got a veterans discount. I have been happy with it, but I would move fast on that...

Waiting with anticipation!!!!

Then the final install.

No photos of it (because I was ticked off about the stupid mistake) but I cut the bar off and had one scrap of tubing left that was just long enough. So off to the press I go and bent it into a U'ish shape to allow for the filter and tacked it in place. While fitting it I then noticed that...

On the fly, I decided that I wanted some "side ways" protection yet I still wanted to be able to see the filter. I had some expanded metal laying around from the brush guard build so I figured this would be a good use for it. Then the top part was bugging me. It looked unfinished, and had...

After welding on a tab for the rear mount I soon discovered that the angle was going to be too steep to get it to bolt up properly. I decided to go with a different mounting plate so I cut the tab off and decided the remaining part of the tab was going to be a "decoration" I decided to used the...

Then I decided to attach it using the 2 studs that hold the hood skirting in the front and the top bolt of the steering linkage in the rear. Having that plasma cutter made quick work of roughing out the forward mounting hole.

So with about 35 hours on my new machine, I am out trying to clear a trail. Lots of 1 to 2 inch trees and brush to remove so I'm going at it with my grapple and chain saw when all of a sudden the engine dies. At first I thought I might have hit the key with my knee when looking over my shoulder...
