And done very nicely!

I don't have a grapple, and I'm not knowledgeable about their systems, but I can't envision a way you could get an air lock. If you suspect air, extend all your cylinders (lift, curl, squeeze) to get them all out together (doesn't have to be simultaneous, one-at-a-time is okay, and easiest when...

To answer the complaints of the arteest-types who found the wide bezel offensive:

<grimace> Good point, D2. Amazing how many of those I've seen (being a rank nube), and astonishing how many I fall for (except that I'm an Irishman, and I suppose everyone has heard what they sit on).

Okay guys, I seldom chill the Guinness; the six-pack I did chill was consumed before the end of Easter Week. There is now one (1) Guinness Stout, sitting next to the 'fridge (as cold as it's gonna get). Anyone who wants to come down and stack some rock is welcome to it. (Well, excepting Grouse...

As others have commented, you could demand a new tractor. However, I believe you will come out better by handing the problem to the dealer and asking what he can do to make things right. As koja noted, you don't know what damage, if any, was done to the engine. (Okay, failure to start is...

I've also read that. However, you aren't breaking in a new engine, so you may want to begin with the synthetic straight off. In a rebuild, I think the only parts you would be concerned about would be the rings. If you re-sleeved the cylinders and installed new rings, then you might want to use...

Hi, Treckerzeug (I'm not sure I'm pronouncing that correctly), welcome to the forum (family)! I think perhaps you din't just fall into this forum today, so you likely are aware of the numerous folk who snarl: "Without pics, it didn't happen!" I'm not one of them, though I do sometimes warn...

Re: Need advice to move 1-1/2 ton pallet -- Update Okay, SOMEBODY outed me: I've failed to update the status of my challenge. So here comes the update... but no neat conclusion (and not a cliff-hanger, exactly): I got some great suggestions, and found ways to incorporate most of them. I was...

That wasn't what I was trying to convey; more along the lines of, "cobbled together" versus "tweaked and refined to the point someone might want to copy". If I make one that is presentable and not too difficult to replicate, I certainly would be willing to make one for my forum buddies.

Well, West Michigan, I don't know for sure; you'd need to do your research on sales up there over the past year in CraigsList, eBay, and TractorHouse to see what L260s have been selling for. To me, it does not sound like a fair price -- a few months ago I bought a B6100DT (4WD) with a loader...

erk! Looks like you have a 10+ gal tank, so that's safe enough -- IF the tank is empty enough. But even with lightweight diesel, that can is gonna be pushing 40 pounds. Thanks God for youth and vigor!

"Danger, Will Robinson! The flight crew is invalid and unable to operate the landing gear!"

Oh my! I found an HST on TractorHouse that was listed by them. I hadn't called them because I've been pursuing a mower purchase. BB, I am so glad you posted your experience, and that I happened to see it. Fank yew, fank yew, from dee boddom uv mah hart!

Sorry, folks, no pics of the paint job. I got confused because I'm accustomed to having numbers to show where the colors go. Actually, the painting got done, but there was a hiccup and I pulled the mounting nuts off so didn't get the pictures taken. I'm not sure how much more I'll do to this...

You guys! Santa's going to be bringing appropriate gifts next Christmas! Very insightful, skeets, the luminum is very thin. It doesn't wiggle, but I intended to fold all the edges 90° to stiffen it up, but got too far along to be able to accomplish that without a lot of unintended bends. As it...

How to you do it? Drive the PB in the tree at ground level and use your bucket's curl to leverage them out?

I'm having a dense moment in these later years -- I just don't get it. "Stick the nozzle in the tractor" ... I take it you tip the can over to stick the nozzle in the tank? Your tank must be less than half full, eh? And the end of the can is square, so the can doesn't twist or roll? Heck, I...

Shaun, since it's too heavy to easily manhandle, wouldn't you be better served by a Best Choice 30 Gallon Tank from Amazon for $154.85 (+$70.10 shipping) <grimace> I've seen them on eBay for around that price, with shipping included. The bigger tank seems it would be easier to handle, and...

Okay, so I haven't learned how to be jealous without showing it, so sue me! :p
