Agreed! But... what did you buy? <drool>

Re: !997 R520 Sometimes Won't Move He's only posted twice, a question each time about R520, and never a follow-up. You'd prolly do better to start a new thread. Provide plenty of details; as of now this thread has been read almost 550 times, with only one suggestion, and two ancillary...

How do you mic the pistons without removing them? Do the skirts protrude below the bore at BDC? I wonder if you meant a ridge at the top of the bore? (I don't understand how a piston would have a ridge, and I thought the idea was to try to verify piston fit without having to remove them, so...

It hit 70, so git 'em on!

Well, here (metro Atlanta, GA) we have spring shops that actually make springs, and can duplicate pretty much any spring. Maybe in Canoodia those kinds of businesses couldn't exist - the metal would just snap, it's so cold? Although Google is fooled; they think there are some Canadian Spring...

Wow! I'm glad for you! (Now I'm wondering if I could put one on my FEL... I don't care about cutting down my time, I'm on borrowed time anyway, but it would be wonderful to look like I knew what I was doing! :D)

Yep, used hood would "hafta" be in better condition that that tiny nightmare! Otherwise, Bondo it and paint it, and try not to let it eat at yuh, cuz nobody else would be paying any attention to it.

ewww... that looks awful! So sad for your difficulty. And I appreciate the jam you're in trying to find parts. It seems you've already done the things that I would try. Next stop would be to visit a machine shop with the part in hand, and ask for their advice, listen carefully, then ask for an...

Okay, everybody flunks! Obviously it was a test. Perhaps a new test like the Emergency Broadcast System's periodic broadcasts. I surmise that this test was a follow-up to the "shot across the bows" which Douglas Preston documented in "Impact". If my hunch is correct, the test is designed to...

What a great find! Thanks!

You won't need a stabiizer, but it is a nice thing to have. Sadly, the best I've seen is no longer in regular production. You could either use a cross drawbar, available at your TractorSupply NOT this kind shown in the MX attachment. Or you could just use the Cat 1 pins available at your...

Re: B7100 HST project update... Ah, lad, 'tis the Irish in ye makin' ye master the understatement!

BA Guy, welcome to the forum! You didn't get your first question answered, and I think it might have been your most urgent. It isn't harmful to operate the loader with the lead you describe. You have time to accumulate the tools and materials for the repair, as well as time to bone up on how to...

Keeps yer hair from gettin mussed.

Just spoke to a very knowledgeable lady at DTI; she informed me that US tractors' fuel lines are 1/4" and foreign tractors use 6mm. (That made me worried because mine miked .254" and I had serious doubts that it had .015" of paint on it. Then I realized that it was likely built in the factory up...

I agree. Though I am an opponent of capital punishment, as well as a very devout, bible-thumping, love-thy-neighbor Christian, I firmly believe that the abandonment of public executions has contributed to the rise in crime. (Not, but any means, the cause, but I believe a factor, however small.)...

Hi, and welcome to the OTT! Hope you enjoy Virginia is for Lovers as much as Wisconsin is nothing but cheese-heads! And I truly hope you enjoy your L3240DT (and your son quickly recovers from his withdrawal symptoms). You may think I'm greeeen with eeennnvy... I'm claiming it's only cuz I'm...

Sheesh! Must have been posted while I was napping. <sigh> Thanks for the heads-up, I am very interested.

Sounds like you've missed one wire. Because you can energize the starter, I suspect the wire from the switch to the solenoid. Check your Operator's Manual Wiring Diagram and verify the wire from the solenoid to the switch is intact.

Sorry, I have no knowledge of your machine, nor info on your problem. Only read your post cuz of the family name (same as mine). In a little while, the gurus will see your post and provide wisdom. Prolly, as you've experienced with your previously frayed wired, a quick and easy fix. Welcome to...
