Graphite is the best lubricant for cable drives. Grease can get stiff in the cold.

Hi Meanjean. My background is automotive, and have used many sealants and found loctite coppercoat a good sealant for head gaskets. For quite some time the dodge four cylinder engines were a problem. Using a sealant helped with this. Chrysler later came out with a head gasket that was treated...

May be a long shot, but im thinking one of your lift cylinders is damaged. The bore could be scored where it runs out of travel. It only takes a scratch to make a hydraulic cylinder perform poorly. I overhauled all the cylinders on the loader, and replaced all the hoses, must have been...

Just a thought,bearings can be replaced in most alternators. But it does require a little patience. As mentioned above, remove belt and spin all belt driven parts. Dont run it too long without belt.

If udt isnt easy for you to get your hands on then you want tgh, trans gear hydraulic fluid. Another reference might be universal tractor fluid. Hydraulic oil is just that, hydraulic. Transmissions need gear lubricant, anti wear additives and the list goes on. Hope this helps. If you take...

My 16 foot tandem trailer is great for moving my tractor, mind you its a smaller machine. Trailers can never be too big, but quite often are too small. 2.5 us, thats about 4.00 canadian....

If it has a thermostat, pull it out for flushing. I had a head gasket go, and used simple green to flush the block. It cleaned it quite well. Could use heavy duty rad flush, but i prefer not to put anything corrosive into my cooling systems. A couple good water rinses and refill with a good...

Nice machine. Like the seat.mine leaks down after a couple days, i try not to leave anything suspended on hydraulics for any period of time.

Havent pulled one of these apart, but many manual transmissions. Neutral has always been my choice. Easiest to find from any gear.

Couple things, one is fluid level, sorry i dont know where screen is. Three point centered or not under load. Accessory circuits neutral or off. Welcome to the site,theres a wealth of information here.

I got my L1501 for 2500. No loader 2wd just under 800 hours on the clock. A little grumpy to start, have to glow plug even on hot days. But that is my only complaint. Well the headlights need to hold bulbs. Welcome aboard,Rockdawg. You will find a wealth of knowledge here.

There is someone here that builds telescopic stabilizers, from what i have read they are a wonderful thing. Just do a search and it should come up.

On top of bucket there are things to consider. At either side of bucket, lifting heavy objects can upset tractor. Putting one hook in center of bucket can bend the bucket, so a full length piece to strengthen the bucket would be better. Ask me how i know this? Been there done dat. Bucket is...

Have found some handy, money saving tips here. Its a small price to pay. In the mail tomorrow.

That is why i buy batteries that are not the highest cca rating for group size. Example 24c 1000. It may pack a whallop when new, but fails sooner than a 650 or 800 cca battery. No room for buildup on the plates. Batteries that fail like yours are common. Replace with reccomended cca's or...

So thats what the holes in my mower are for. I could use something like that. I worked many years with tools on hand, wasnt easy sometimes. Lathe, drill press, big compessor mig arc and plasma. Now projects actually look like i planned them. Sure makes things easier. But it comes with a...

Problem is with that a hydraulic failure can be fatal. That being said, i do use my forklift for servicing my mower. I try my best never to stand directly under deck/ forks. Impact to get blades off and on. I also have a four post drive on hoist, but its too wide for the tractor. Have a...

Chains arent going to stop you from sliding sideways. Just ask a grader operator. 20 tons still slide if the conditions are right. Not worth the investment if you ask me. I run a heavy plow on my truck, if its not pushing the front over, the back end is kicking around.loaded it with firewood and...

Buddy has ag tires on his little green estate tractor, drives up to the floor in loose snow to make snow guards.bucket on front snowblower on back. In 4WD of course. My old cockshutt wont pull a wiener off a plate without chains. 2WD with loader Snowblower coming for my L1501, looking for...

I should have realized it was a newer machine. I do actually feel a little more educated now. Thanks. I would have to agree,if that pto is dragging on the brake for whatever reason,the longer it runs like that the more damage is being done.
