    Zep industrial purple

    I use ICE car wash which has the wax in it. I use the Turtle Wax ICE for everything. Used it on all my Harley bikes and it leaves them all looking like I hand rubbed for the shine. I use it on wife's car, my truck, on the boat (before I sold that), bikes (yup, sold them too), and tractor. Does a...

    Leaky hydraulic block

    I believe there are three different type couplers for the hydraulics. Does anyone know which fittings male and female I need to convert over from that block to individual couplers and also the mounting hardware I have to order to fasten the hoses on the tractor? I am sure we don't just let the...

    Leaky hydraulic block

    I was told this afternoon that they will pick up my tractor one day next week, so I now wait. I suggested that if the factory wants to replace the block, I would like to convert over to the four individual connectors instead of the block and he can keep the new block to sell to someone else. He...

    Leaky hydraulic block

    I may mention about changing over to the four individual lock on fittings as well if they will do it. Tractor is still less than a year old so not sure they will convert for me. Will need to wait for them to come get it. Today is second day of "I will call you in the next two days about sending...

    Leaky hydraulic block

    I noticed a leak a few days ago in the four hose quick connect block mounted on FEL tower on my B2601. Had a good puddle on the floor I had to clean up, and started looking around and found it leaking out from between the two halves of the block. I disconnected and made sure everything was...

    B2601 electrical supply

    The kit was ordered and I am now waiting for it. I want to have the amps. I think the kit would be cheaper than replacing the battery a couple times. I think hp loss is negligible for my machine by installing the alternator. I just might consider getting a portable closure and add a little...

    B2601 electrical supply

    I made sure the draw would be low when I bought the lights. Just wondering if it would be worth the change or not. Seems all the other tractors have an alternator. No idea why they didn't put one in the B series. My L3200 had one.

    B2601 electrical supply

    I have a B2601, and was wondering if it would be worth the cost to change to an alternator for my charging system. I am running two LED lights off the ROPS for forward light and two LED lights off the rear bottom of ROPS for back hoe work in the evenings. Any thought or advise? This is the...

    source for hydraulic tube color tape?

    I am a HAM RADIO operator and have been using the 3M electrical tape in several colors for my antenna cable identifications and it has worked very well for many years. I use it on my B2601 Hydro lines as well for easy marking. I have rolls of black, white, red, orange, green, blue and yellow...

    B2601 3rd Function Install

    One hose runs to the block in the back of tractor that connects to back hoe hose. The second hose runs up deep into the massive set of hoses behind the rear right wheel. Sorry to say I could not take any pic of that one, but I know it goes to the pump because I have seen videos of it being...

    B2601 3rd Function Install

    There is a box installed right at the right loader tower, and from there two lines go to the pump in the rear. Here are two pics of what I can see without going under tractor. I hope this helps some. I would go under tractor, but wife and I are about to go out shopping for a trailer for the tractor.

    B2601 3rd Function Install

    I have the third function valve connected to my B2601, but it came from dealer that way when I ordered it. I also have the back hoe from factory. Third function is connected to front loader arm to control the Grapple and other items like front push blade to move side to side. Control buttons for...

    Zerk Twerk

    When I saw the Lock N Lube ads I figured just another gimmick. Finally broke down and gave it a try and now own two of the tips and one grease gun from Lock N Lube. Great products. I keep one gun for tractor and the other gun for everything else with gen purpose grease in it. Can't say enough...

    Adding mirrors so I don't have to turn in my seat!

    The mirrors I bought have a swivel on them so you can push, pull or move up or down. If I do not tighten too much I should be fine with these. If not, I am out just under $12. I think I can del with that loss at least once. LOL
