Warming up here but dry, dry, dry.. Easy start with the temps in the 40s and put on the landscape rake with shorter top link that just keeps the tines vertical and tidys thing up. Drug along the road to distribute loose gravel and pulled across some rutted areas to smooth things out. Poor...

I like the idea for making a Newtons Cradle out of them. I have a 3 inch steel ball that came from a ball mill (ore crusher) like Lil Foot mentioned. Those chromed balls look like some from the ball and seat area on downhole oil-field pumps? Next to a hardware store, a junkyard is one of...

They're all fun to look at and maybe we all yearn for the "Good ole' Days", but seems like operating an old gear puller gave a sense of "Right Tool for the Right Job". Like cultivating corn with a Farmall H or C and then wheeling around with a spinner knob and inside brake at the end of a...

Probably the one thing I miss about the old Farmall was cruisin' in Road Gear...oh, well plenty to like about the HST :):):)

As Wolfman and others said, "It Depends" I am pleased with my little L2501 and recent Titan lightweight stump bucket. Right now the clay is hard and dry here and I am lucky to get the front of the spear buried half way. The front end weight of the tractor probably is less than 1000 lbs with...

L2501HST 22 hrs Replace Tach Cable twisted off at sender at 17.2 hrs Used to mow 2.5 acres and some loader/landscape rake work

Re: L2501 Tach Quit - new core cable installed Cable came yesterday. Slid the new core into the cable from the engine end and tested with the cordless drill with slip clutch on setting 1. Had to reverse drill then WA LA tach started moving and speed drill up to 1000-1500 rpm and looked...

I use all three on occasion. Since I have the HST on the L2501 the foot treadle is the main "regulator" for me to control speed and direction especially when brush hogging and always when using the loader. I do have the left lever lock to hold the HST at whatever speed seems appropriate to...

Beautiful warm day for a change, so I got a chance to pull the cowl off the cluster and unbolt the 4 - 10 mm head screws that hold the cluster in place. Didn't have to pull the steering wheel and with warm flexible fingers I could still get to the tach cable housing and unscrew the barrel nut...

Front end of cable was easy to get off, the end behind the cluster will have to wait until the new cable TC420-34653 gets here. Dealer is sending it direct - 22.87. When I pulled the end out of the sending unit, only the spade end fell out. The rest of the spring cable is blind with the cable...

from Lugbolt "Could be either one. If it's on the engine and not loose, follow it up where it goes near the fuel tank and try to pull on it a little. If it pulls easily, it's come off of the back of the tach. Both ends of the cable are identical in that they just have a screwed on cap of sorts...

Thanks Darren, Its a little cold today to be working outside but it should warm up by the end of the week. I'll print out your suggestions and check a few things then and hopefully let you know what works..

Getting used to operating the 2501 HST and like the smooth start and operation of the HST. Just little peeved that the tack quit with a little less than 20 hrs. I noticed it not working just after a wide open throttle run down the lane...probably the only time I opened 'er up since its still...

Yep,, as far as the gas gauge, I also mentioned it to the dealer that the gas gauge was stuck on full. Looking at the tank and reading up, the tank has a top "shelf" that holds a lot more per inch of fill than the lower half that fits down below the dash area. I have run the first 6 plus...

Yes, Like you I had trouble seeing anything in the sightglass when I got the tractor with FEL last week. Since then I have been tempted to add some fluid, but checked with the dealers shop, made sure the FEL was on the ground, and most important, make sure the tractor is level. Usually...
