You guys are overthinking it. THIS is the way it's done:

Fan belt slipping? Make sure the entire surface (top to bottom, all corners) of the radiator is clean. Inspect carefully, remove battery and screen, hose it out. Run the proper coolant mix - too much glycol isn't as good for heat transfer as the 50/50 mix

Since you asked in the 'fab and customization' forum, I assume you're wanting to fab something yourself? I have a recent thread on how I did it here. Been is use since the build - no regrets - it works great...

Ugliest truck in the world. Also the coolest. I want one... I suspect this is destined to be another 'old guys pissing and moaning about EVs' thread though.

Jeesh - quite a twist from your original plan of a whole-house Diesel set with ATS. I'd keep a backup backup generator if I had a 'Champion'...

I ordered a batch of hoses in February. It took 5 days and a phone call before they shipped it - silence before then. Not, IMO, the greatest service, but the hoses seeem decent.

I retired (mostly) at age 62 a year ago. I spent a long time before that pondering it. I finaly realized the only time I'd be 100% sure it was the right time was if I waited until I was dead. So, I settled for being 51% sure and haven't regretted it for a nanosecond since.

^That's kind of what I've been thinking and the reason behind my wanting to know details about what the OP was doing that might have caused this...

Is this a LA535 FEL? Curious what size logs you( @FarmtoLake ) were carrying (i.e length, diamter, species)

Is this unusual? 'lifting a few logs that seem to be no problem', and then a twisted FEL as a result? Is this just a bent bucket, or actually bent loader arms? Whatever the OP did to cause this is something I want to be able to avoid. So what, specifically is the likely root cause? Just...

I've pondered that too. It's not obvious. I keep the saw positioned so it couldn't hit my leg, as long as things go as I plan. I suppose that a human with perfect situaltional awareness wouldn't need chaps. That's not me! I recognize, partucularly when limbing a downed tree on a slope...

Good thread guys. Thanks for the reminder - my chaps have spent a little too much time hanging on the hook instead of me wearing them...

Dang. I post here for the abuse, not forgiveness...

WSM for the B7510 is a little light on detail. I've no idea of the similarity to the B6200.

compressed air?

Nice work. I bet you'll like that grab handle. My B7510 FEL requires that a tranverse member be fitted, and it serves as a great handle when hopping on the tractor: Make sure that bucket plate doesn't interfere with the SSQA mechanism when mounting/dismounting the bucket...

There are plenty of electric vehicles that sell for MORE than $80,000. However, the best-selling vehicle in the world last year was an electric vehicle, and it is priced similarly to its competitor gas models: Tesla Model Y lists for $44k in the US, but many buyers get a fed tax credit...

I suppose your great grandfather said the same about horseless carriages. And yes he was right - look at GM/Ford/Stellantis - no profit, and basically doomed as their market gets taken over by better options.

Dang - I sure wish I'd of been more clueless about finance, physics and manufacturing about 5 years ago:

Might not hit his balls to the wall schedules, but he gets stuff done...
