When I bought my BH76A (backhoe) I decided to get the manual thumb set on it. I soon realized that I wanted to convert it to a hydraulic thumb. I plumbed the hydraulics to the rear (and set that up to run a TNT setup as well for my Box Blade) and have never looked back. I use the thumb EVERY...

BH76is what I have...and has the dedicated seat. The pins working loose(mentioned above)is an issue. I drilled a hole in the end of the sliding handle and put a clip in it to keep them from working loose. I also built a cradle to drop the backhoe on so I can move it around the shop while it is...

I have an 08 L2800 with a BH76A...I bought the backhoe new...and from day one I had the "weak ram" problem. We (the dealer and I) figured out that the valve had got a paint chip in it from the original assembly. Turns out this happens a fair amount of the time (fouled assembly procedure). We...

I have an L2800 (2009) and keep it at Lake Almanor CA....where it gets colder than where you are. I use it sporadically and have never had a problem with it starting right up... Key to success is that I keep it in a garage (not heated), put a good battery in it the first time (2009)...and I...

Thanks for the advise...I will check the grounds...

I have an L2800 (2009) with only a few hundred hours on it. The fuel gauge seems to be stuck on "full" all the time. I also noticed that the "temp" gauge seems to be consistently showing a lower normal operating temperature...it is working...but for some reason at the same time as the fuel...

I have tries the "park on side of hill" trick...and it didn't work. Also, the L2800 does not have a dip stick...which may be something I try to fabricate to solve this ongoing issue. The way I did (at least one time) find out if I had too much fluid...is I changed the hydraulic filter and...

I too have an L2800 and have the same issue...I check the fluid level every week or so...and can never tell whether I have it overfull or low. If I have problems with lack of hydraulic power...I add half a quart and it always seems to fix the problem...and the glass "color" never changes. Does...

I have an L2800...and was trying to determine if the 3pt. was OK or whether I should go to the frame mount...the comments steered me to the frame mount...and it is great advice. I have found way more "projects" than I ever thought of...and the backhoe is the tool most often used. I would...

I responded earlier...and would add this...I have had my L2800 and use it around my house and a few acres for everything...including snow removal...and the 4WD is a must for that. I got GREAT advise from folks here at Orange and it all was VERY helpful in how I decided what to buy. When I...

Have the dealer do it. I bought a harvest return and had them install the FEL and the subframe for my backhoe on my L2800...works great.

This looks very similar to my L2900 set up. The pin should have a flange piece that the bolt shown in your photo will fit into. It looks like this bolt and flange piece has been broken off the original pin. Back out the bolt and broken off piece and take that to a dealer and buy a new one (or...

I have a 2008 L2800 with about 175 hrs. I changed out the hydraulic filter and found a fair amount of curled shaved metal in the magnetic area of the filter. I have no problems to report...they were not gear teeth. I have had NO problems...and the tractor was bought as a harvest return in...

Beat on it...they stick...just don't peen the end over....

I have an L2800 with FEL and am going to get a 60" box blade for it...I have seen many here suggest getting a hydralic top link for that type of attachment...all of my hydralic valves are in use...except I do have a feed to the rear for a backhoe (BH76) that I would remove to atttach the box...

I' ve bought a "harvest return" L2800 a while ago...got a great deal and that is a tough tractor that has had NO problems...read this blog...you never see the problems identified here for that model...and it has been around awhile and has been a workhorse model...I have an FEL and BH76 on...

I have a L2800 and want to get either a box scraper or grading scraper for it...having researched the products available I have found that Land Pride has two options...and I would like some real world advise. I have a long hard pack gravel driveway that I need to maintain and sweeten every so...

I have a L2900 w/FEL and backhoe and I am trying to figure out ideas for adding a metal storage basket (like you find on the front or back of an ATV) or some other idea... to hold gloves, rope, tools, tow chain, etc. Any suggestions as to where...or where not to put something like that...I can...

I have a L2900 w/FEL and want to add hooks to use for chaining up or lifting with the bucket. I am interested in ideas about wether to weld or bolt the hook on ...and where to put them...likely uses are to secure something in bucket...dragging something...lifting something out of my...

Thanks...which side of the control valve...the supply line to the individual ram (I assume) or both sides...one after the other...the see if the valve too could be an issue? If there is a leak in any function...what causes that...faulty part?
