    Canopy Size Suggestions

    I sketched out a drawing with the overall dimensions, removed the top part of the ROPS and brought it to a machine shop. They made it to fit and I sprayed it with truck bed liner.

    Canopy Size Suggestions

    I think I'm going with the 4x6 plywood because I do squeeze through some tight spots in the woods too. I also think it will be easier to mount a mirror and lights. As always, thanks for the responses.

    Canopy Size Suggestions

    Carl, your thread is the reason I had this frame made. I actually showed it to the machinist. Your canopy appears to be about 4' wide. Do you wish it was wider?

    Canopy Size Suggestions

    I had a custom canopy frame made for my L3800. It is approx. 49" L X 40" W. I'd like to get some suggestions on the canopy size because I've never been on a tractor with a canopy. I was thinking 4' W X 6' L made out of 1/2 plywood. FWIW, my tractor is about 5' wide. Thanks

    top link question

    I had the exact issue. I spray WD-40 silicone on all the threads on my 3PH in addition to greasing the top link. After a while I got some dirt accumulation on the top link threads and it stopped loosening.

    Stripped bolt extractor

    I rounded off the drain plug on my ATV. I then tried vice grips and a chisel but I couldn't get enough purchase with either. I saw these on Amazon for $22. I tapped the socket on with a hammer and off it came. I just wanted to pass along the tip...

    Tool Box

    I have this tool box and it is nice. The mount is solid. I like having the additional storage within easy reach. I don't have to turn all the way around to get my gate key out.

    servicing radiator screen.

    To clean my screen,I raise my loader and pull the screen out. I then get an electric blower and blow all of the debris out under the hood. The blower allows me to stand away from the raised loader.

    Need a heavy duty tow hitch

    Thanks for all of the replies. Although my truck is supposed to pull 10k lbs, my tractor only weighs about 4k. The trailer has a weight limit of 7k and I will only be pulling it very short distances. I'd like to over do it on the hitch to be safe. After reading the replies, I do not want a...

    Just purchased a new Toyota Tundra with 10,000 lb. towing capacity. I have an L3800 with a FEL and will be pulling it on a 22' dual axle trailer with a 2" ball. Looking for suggestions on brands of adjustable drop/rise hitches with dual or triple balls. Thanks.

    Thanks to everyone for their valuable input. I definitely will not be getting a trailer that will be just enough for the job.

    Trailer for L3800

    Thanks for the replies. I will look into a 22'er and the 10K# axles. My brother has a big GMC crew cab with 9,500# towing capacity. We will only be towing it 3-4 miles up the hwy to our other section of property. We used to drive the tractor down the hwy but it's a risk we don't want to take any...

    Trailer for L3800

    Going to breakdown and get a trailer for my L3800. It will be a regular type not a gooseneck. I'll probably get a 20' so I can haul it with the disk and loader attached. I'm just looking for suggestions... like should I get removable ramps or the ones that are hinged, short sides or no sides...

    What is this thing? L3800

    I sank my tractor last week and was greasing everything when I noticed this nut that has a little rod going through it. Can someone tell me the purpose of this thing? Thanks [/URL][/IMG]

    Stuck

    The blade was up when I was driving down the road. I wasn't trying to grade the road. When I sank the blade contacted the ground because of the angle. I didn't realize it at the time but it prevented me from going forward or backwards and the tires just spun. In the pic, before I just took it...
