I agree with protecting yourself, for a long time I thought getting burned somewhere was part of the welding process. Gloves with holes in the fingers is another no no.

Be reminded that all treated wood is not the same. I fortunately live around New Orleans and can readily get marine grade (.8 and 2.5 CCA) treated lumber ( rough and smooth), I use it for everything house sills, bulkheads, wood racks, trailers, wall plates, etc.

When you checked the oil was the dipstick bottoming out or seated in the dipstick receiving tube? As always do as you feel is best. If the model and serial are available search Perkins for oil capacity and if an original dipstick is available. I'm certain Perkins didn't design the dipstick to...

I agree it looks like a broken gear tooth. It might not be the only one the one in the picture happened to make it to the filter, another one could jamming the lift arm. I wouldn't keep trying to operate the lift so as not to cause anymore problems. before pulling did you drain the oil, was...

If you go through the effort to disassemble, consider using Loctite 545 on the threads of the fittings.

I used a Summit kit for my MX5100 with a Ansung loader. Once you have the push button handle and solenoid's, the rest is hoses fittings and brackets. I placed the solenoid's to the inboard side of the loader support to be better protected. I used longer hoses and made sure everything...

I tighten fasteners accordingly, sometimes I change the nuts to either ny-loc's or distorted thread. Some fasteners i.e. loader, wheels, etc. get Locite 243, Permatex orange or anti-seize depending. I use a white paint pen and place horizonal lines across the bolt or nut/stud. A quick visual...

If you haven't refilled it yet, I'd suggest removing it per the manual, It's a 10mm allen and you'll need a beaker bar or impact, ensure that the allen wrench is fully inserted. If you've filled it, you probably are OK. You may want to consider breaking it loose and retighten without removing...

When troubleshooting electrical problems, especially on older machines, ALL ground wires and connection points are very important. Just my .02

Yes, they were both 25mm. 15/16" pins are not available, 7/8" would be loose, my Ford 4000 has 1" holes, by drilling the holes I stayed with a common pin. I still can't understand why the parts diagram shows the same picture but different part numbers. What I have will work but the I believe the...

Thanks for the response, yes I could flip it over and will probably need to do that. I'm not sure if I could bend the needed offset in such a short space and the amount of heat required might weaken the drawbar. I drilled out the drawbar and hammer strap to 1" in order to use readily available...

My recently purchased MX5100H, has the standard drawbar frame but was missing the drawbar. I'm accustomed to and have equipment that uses a clevis type drawbar (drawbar with hammer strap). I don't need the swinging type. I purchased drawbar pt. # 35080-29710 and drawbar hitch pt.# 35080-29720...

With the price of hydraulic oil and filters, sealing washers are cheap and good to have in hand when changing your fluid. The same holds true for engine oil changes. Solid copper sealing washers get brittle over time and don't allow for the proper crush which leads to over tightening

You can either switch hoses as others have said or swap the connectors on the solenoids, which ever is easier and seems right to you.

I recently installed Summit's TFK5 kit on my MX5100 with a Ansung loader and am well satisfied with the quality. As always do as you feel is best but I suggest buying directly from Summit to insure that you get the property kit for your tractor, as others have said their support is great. When...

I ordered the 3rd function kit, they did charge($32.00) to upgrade to the flat face connectors, so it will match the skid steer flat face connectors on the grapple. I'm all in for $582.00. Thanks

PaulL, you bring up a good point and there are various types of quick disconnects. I agree they should match, is there one type of connector preferred over other types? I'll only be using the grapple occasionally and don't believe I'll have any other use for the 3rd function. Thanks

Thanks for the response's. At least there's only three or four choices for 3rd function kits, when it comes to grapples they're scores of choices (size, type, price, etc.), I'll cross that bridge after installing the 3rd function.

I'm considering purchasing a 3rd function kit from Summit Hydraulics for my MX5100, has anyone had bad experiences with their product? It seems there's a big price jump (3-4 hundred) using other brand kits. Thanks

Thanks, I'll call Messick's and ask if it comes with the cover, I don't mind the $33.00, although I might tether it to the tractor. I'm not sure how the cover came up missing. Thanks
