    Add hyd top link to L185

    First, thank you for sharing this journey. I have a (mild) interest in adding hydraulic assistance on my 3PH and my B6100 is so similar to your L185 that I can, to a great extent, directly apply your wisdom. Second, what app are you using to generate the drawings? (And why does the height in...

    Tractor won't start after changing glow plugs

    Great news, B1702. Mixed blessings; I truly hate when things resume working without rhyme or reason -- sometimes that causes me more sleepless nights than the not-working does.

    Help with plan for loader bucket build and quick change?

    I developed an appreciation for SketchUp when I got serious about woodworking, and recommend it as a platform for design before generating CAD plans. Here's some plans for loaders However, it seems that NIW's suggestion is the best approach, even though your friend is a wonderful resource...

    Clamp on forks with tooth bar

    Wow! What a nice attachment! From the first pic, it looks like it would work with the Piranha bar. It clearly works well with your IF bar. Okay, your first project is impressive. (What did you do with the tree?) Your next assignment, should you choose to accept, will be to lift the pallet of...

    bx2230d hst rebuild done speed control question

    Yippee! Sorry you had to suffer the multiple disassembles, and glad that you made it right. And though I don't have an HST, I now understand how great life would be if mine were HST, so I hope to get one, and I'm grateful for your follow-up.

    Millings for a driveway

    So what do you use, gravel? Does the farmer dress the driveway (at least as far as the gate)? On second thought, I suspect that your frost heave would do more damage than the farmer. But my little piece of inheritance in s.w. Louisiana might really benefit from millings.

    LA525 loader wear

    Disclaimer: I don't have your machine, nor your loader. First thing I notice is absence of grease. However, I hasten to acknowledge to acknowledge that wear is greatest on the opposite side of where force is exerted. So, in general, it is common that the first observance of wear is in a...

    Holy Caroni!!! Its here its here!!

    No, I got it. I think it does a great job on high speed. It doesn't leave it looking like a lawn, but cleans overgrowth very well. For my needs, I don't know that I would ever have to go slow -- except for dodging trees. A Caroni is on my wish list, so start saving your pennies now so when...

    Adjusting Brakes...??

    Try unlocking the brake pedals, then use the left and right brakes independently and see if both are about equal in stopping effectiveness. Your problem is with the brakes themselves, not the adjustment (which only "balances" the two pedals to engage the brakes at the same time). I haven't...

    Adjusting Brakes...??

    I've downloaded the 3-part PDF (but deleted it) and "thought" I'd gotten it at KBooks but can't find it. The link in the OTT archive takes you to the Owner's Manual section, and there are two WSMs in that section, but only WSM L210.pdf and WSM L3200.pdf I've looked in several sections, but no...

    Server outage

    Yep, and it was a rainy day in Jawjuh, so no werk got did... except to get delivery of a couple tons of "stack rock". Tried to go on OTT to ask advice; thought I'd have the driver put the load on my utility trailer and use the B6100D to drag it into the back yard. Having the server go down...

    Buying used, What do I look for?

    I've gotta see that vid! Especially if she kept filming until you were groovin! Hope you'll post them in the forum.

    Lube points.

    I believe the philosophy is to ensure there is always lubrication in those "joints", and to continually move abrasive particles away. It does waste a bit of grease, but those who have to replace parts that failed from abrasion typically regret not greasing more often. If you do switch to the...

    Adjusting Brakes...??

    What model (D; E; or HST)? I hope you mean that one side brakes more than the other; this can be adjusted with the turnbuckle under the "floorboard". However, I'm guessing that what's really going on is the brakes are worn out and are failing. Since you're asking about this, I'm also guessing...

    Holy Caroni!!! Its here its here!!

    Oh wow! This is great -- and I love that it will do a good job cutting at high speed. That turned out to be a wonderful choice!

    Service for my B8200

    All her prices seem reasonable. I'm sure you can get comparable quality at lower prices at TractorSupply or AgriSupply, but you would not be saving a large number of dollars for these parts and supplies. I'd say "support your local sheriff". On the oil viscosity, I'd listen to your dealer. It...
