Good to hear you moved the RV safely and devised a way to attach the 5th wheel. I would have looked at this issue a little different. 1. Inside a cabinet in the RV there should be a placard that will give you some useful weights, one being the pin or tongue weight. 2. Does this exceed the...

Many years ago I used a Farmall A and a single bottom plow to lay 2/0 electrical cable for 250 feet. Dropped the plow into the same trench 3 times to get to near 18" depth. Depending on the diameter of your pipe you may need to step over a bit to widen the trench and maybe a little hand work...

My answer to bolts I believe may loosen from worn threads or be an application where moisture may cause rust, BLUE LOCTITE. It serves two purposes, one it helps to retain bolt tightness and is service removable. Second it displaces moisture, or fills the gaps where moisture can accumulate and...

I believe this may be the type fitting you are looking for, check the dimensions of your clean hydraulic tubing and hose end before ordering it may be metric. If you have a hydraulic shop in your area they may have what you need or at least the expertise to order or give you good information to...

I have a BH77 with a mechanical thumb and for use around the home and property maintenance I find it very useful. I have removed many rocks from my lawn, added rip rap to my brook, some of the stones near the limit of the hoe’s capacity, dug footings for a retaining wall, contoured shallow...

Please see the attached valve photo for details, thank you for your input. Sorry it loaded upside down.

Sorry for the very slow reply, yes I have a third function installed by the dealer. The valve is plumbed from the loader power beyond port and is located on the loader support pillar just below the loader valve. I unfortunately cannot tell you if it actually works properly since I have never...

I am using the cylinders for angling, and I have an open center 4 way directional valve, my thought process was if A was energized B would be relieved and vice a versa. If I am missing something I am all ears. If that will not work I will need to spring for a double acting cylinder and rework...

I am modifying an old snow plow to fit a QA on my L3901 with 3rd function. I have two used fully functioning and non-leaking single acting hydraulic cylinders from an old Fisher snow plow with questionable fluid type and quality in them. I am thinking of flushing them with some clean Tractor...

In 1995 I had a business acquaintance from Havant, UK visit my home for supper one evening. The dinner conversation turned to firearms and there availability and use in England compared to the US. My guest informed me in England he can’t possess a real firearm. He had a large collection of...

Vermont is one of the safest states per capita and has some of the most lenient firearm laws, virtually NONE… In Vermont there is no permit required or issued for open or CC, all legal persons can open or CC or purchase any firearm within Federal guidelines. Any legal person from any state can...

Brother in Law bought a tractor out of state twelve years ago, with a trade in and balance paid in cash. The dealer told him it was his responsibility to pay the use tax, they even made out the paperwork for him. He took it home thought all was well. He found out later Vermont had the legal...

Got my new tractor and the first person to ask if they could borrow it was my little sister, she and her husband want to clear some land in Adirondacks, she says we'll help you break it in. I didn't even have 3 hours on it. I have watched him run a rental mini-excavator and the paces he put it...

I have a mechanical thumb on mine, purchased it for the purpose of clearing stones from my lawn and placing as rip rap in the brook behind my barn. I also would have preferred a hydraulic thumb since getting on and off the tractor to reset the thumb to match your stone can be a pain, but the...

Pictures are worth a 1000 words, I believe people not used to working around machinery do not fully appreciate the possible dangers, and some have become complacent do to years of no injury from some very foolish actions. So I tell this true story as a bit of tractor education. Years ago I had...

I had a 1998, B7100 that did the same thing, found the clutch safety switch did no work well in cold weather. Sprayed the switch with electrical contact cleaner and it was better but still acted up occasionally. In the end I pulled the wires and placed a jumper between them, never had another...

Dealer gave me two keys and immediately asked if I need extras since I had my sons name on the sale paperwork as an owner, in all I got five, and no extra charge.

KiethG, The purpose of a fuse in and electrical circuit is to protect the conductor insulation and or the lowest rated component in the circuit. The actual copper or aluminum conductor may carry the current you need but the insulation is not rated for the heat that may be generated. The...

Skeets, learned your lesson years ago the hard way too, pre chaps days. Was snap starting a 12" saw limbing a tree? Not sure exactly what happened it was so fast but fortunately it was the only time the saw did not start on first pull, blade hit me in the left knee cutting 5 large holes in my...

Since I'm the guy that stated, lubricate liberally in the stated thread I will state my case. Nowhere in my L3901 manual do I see any mention of lubing the 3 point balls or linkages, and on my previously owned B7100 I also kept them lubed. I lube my 3 Pt balls, pins etc. with a mixture of 30...
