My NRA Life Member sticker didn***8217;t work but a very observant old gentleman did. I parked my Dodge pickup at Home Depot, per the old gentleman sitting on a bench outside the store, I had not been inside for a minute when two guys in a beat up PU pulled up next to my truck. He said I...

In my experience working on any tubing line and many hydraulic hose lines the use of Flare Nut Wrenches works better than a standard open end wrench. Access with flare wrenches is the biggest issue.

My kind of sign, I may even adapt it to my voice mail.

Here is another example of regen hours on a L3901 HST, tractor hours are at 124.8 today. Date Tractor H/Start Tractor H/Stop Lapse Time Hrs. B/Regens 5/8/2017 2.1 6/28/2017 15.5 15.8 0.3 15.5 7/19/2017...

On my L3901 HST tractor with 125 hrs. the 4 wheel drive handle will pull up to a point but then I may need to turn the steering wheel or roll the tractor a few inches for the handle to fully pull up, it almost feels like a detent is passed in the handle when the tractor is engaged in 4 wheel...

I know this is raining on your parade and I understand sometime the job needs to be done and this may seem like a viable option. I have never done as you suggest, I have use many man lifts. This just my two cents. After spending over 40 years in industrial maintenance and using man cages...

Yes, on my tractor I have to take the Orange shielding over the center tunnel and a gray shield under the dash on the treadle peddle side to gain access to the switch.

NIW, I like your Title, question is why did I not think of it. Thanks for having our backs.

A month ago I was plowing my driveway when my tractor sputtered and nearly quit. A few moments later while dismounting the tractor to check the mail box the tractor quit with the parking brake set and as soon as I got off the seat, I may have hit the HST treadle peddle with by big foot but not...

I have a Dodge diesel with an 8’ fisher plow, a walk behind snow blower, a Simplicity 4x4 tractor with a snow blower and my Kubota with the back blade and now a SSQA mounted Fisher snow plow. I find in thawed ground using the back blade backwards works well even over finished lawn where my snow...

I made what is known as a Crumbing Blade for my BH77 hoe. It worked well for digging the footing for a 26’ retaining wall I was rebuilding. I was able to curl the bucket parallel to the foundation and scrape to virgin soil and not disturb the base soil, I am not sure how well it would work in...

And we thought riding orange could cause a pucker. These Guys and Gals must have a pucker that just grips the seat. Thanks for all you do! https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/coast-guard-training-in-massive-surf-captured-in-stunning-photos/ar-BBRbkx7?li=BBnb7Kz#image=BBRbkx7_1|9

My BH77 did squeal while retracting the bucket curl cylinder. With the tractor shut down the bucket would droop from full retract to the floor in a matter of minutes, I also could not pick up a stone with the bucket and thumb without dropping it in seconds. The cylinder would not hold pressure...

One more thing with a blown hydraulic line, if it atomizes the fluid and it hits a hot enough surface if could erupt in fire. Have seen this happen twice in my years of employment, between oil, fire and a sprinkler system it makes quite a mess. There are hydraulic fluids that are fire resistant...

Another reason for using Loctite is it inhibits the integration of moisture. It fills the gaps between the threads hence no rust, in this case I would use Blue, and the previous mentioned torque wrench.

I just bought two 3/8 inch by 6 foot hydraulic hoses for a QA snow plow I built. I compared prices and materials at NAPA, Tractor Supply, Northern Tool and O’Reilly. TS and NT did not have the hoses with different NPT ends. I ended up calling a local construction company and asked them if they...

Skeets, I do not remember any significant discomfort from bypass surgery some years ago, seems they had some darn good happy drugs to assist in the recuperation process, remembering though "properly used". Wishing you a speedy recovery.

From a Bubble Gum Wrapper in my very late teens or early twenty's, 40 plus years ago, I remembered it every time I encountered at a particularly difficult problem. Quote “Don’t just look at it, observe it".

See the below thread from my experience. No, I have not gotten to replumb the connections but the longer hose and rerouting has so far eliminated the problem. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31638&highlight=L3901+hose+routing
