    Insurance ?

    Does anyone in Ontario have 'Fire & Theft' on their tractor? This machine is worth about 5 times what my car is and I'm thinking I should get some insurance. edit: I found some videos here, should have looked first. Thanks, Mike

    When your tractor arrived.

    It was dark. Haha, not really but it was in a covered trailer and the kid had it unloaded before I knew he was here.

    New FDR1660 belt tension WAY too tight.

    Yes, I checked the tension per the method in the manual and it was WAY too tight. The spring that came with was tensioned such that it was extended about 1/16" at most. The new spring is extended about 1/2" and the tension is just under 10Lbs for roughly 1/4" deflection. Belts need only be tight...

    New FDR1660 belt tension WAY too tight.

    I've run this mower for almost an hour and probably shouldn't have. The spindles got pretty warm from the stinkin' hot belt. I don't know if the tension spring with the chain is the way the factory set it up but this is how I got it. The spring extends about an inch with 170Lbs hanging on it...

    That's a fine looking shed! Love the garage doors too, blue contrasts nicely with the roof. :)

    Adding pickup points for a chain to the LA525

    I like the blank SSQA panel idea as well as the hooks welded to the bucket. For now, I'll wait for the pallet forks. If I run out of other work for the tractor, I'll think about those options.

    Ok, looks like that was a dumb idea. Thanks for the advice. Mike

    Adding pickup points for a chain to the LA525

    Hi guys: I'm new here so go easy on me. :) I just got an L2501 yesterday and it came with 2 of the 4 implements, rest are not in yet. I ordered pallet forks to pick up logs but only have the bucket at the moment. I'm thinking of making a couple of steel plates to bolt to the alignment holes in...

    Adding three sets of LEDs to the MX.

    Brackets look great to me! Nice to use 'scrap' steel. Smart that you aren't changing the ROPs in any way. Mike
