You might get more satisfaction, faster and cheaper, ordering the damaged part from Messick’s and installing it correctly yourself. That way, you’ll know who to blame and the guy that is installed it won’t lie or overcharge you. I’m my opinion, for easy stuff, the warranty on most new products...

Is the tractor rubber side up? I have no idea, but couldn’t resist. I know some of the tractors, like my little B2601, don’t have a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the steering assembly. So you can clock the steering wheel to straight up as often as you’d like, it won’t...

What model is the tractor? I see your equipment profile lists an LA402, which is actually a front end loader (FEL) model number. The tractor model number is on the hood, somewhat obscured by the FEL. My guess is it’s a B series? I know the hydrostatic pedal on my B2601 takes more force to...

Now if that isn’t an EPA flex. It’s no wonder Kubota is addressing the problem with the B3350 emissions, since the failed system very likely caused the tractor emit more emissions than permissible and they are aware of it. They might get their very own 7 figure fine and text box in an EPA flexy...

Hence why I do not own at SGC1060 even though that’s what I wanted when I was looking to buy a grapple early this year. I wasn't willing to give $4100 for it. Instead I got my 66” CDI grapple and it even has greasable pins on ALL the pivot points, as well as four (vs two) hinge points on the...

That’s a heck of a hole in the hood for that little hood ornament. I do like some of the options above. Can you make the holes on the bottom of the stock wizzer large enough to fit a small hex nut? If so, JB weld a nut in there and get a fender washer that you contour to the inside of the hood...

Interesting. I do exactly the same thing with my ATVs and Kubotas. I do it because I like my equipment more than I like my cars. But I do use OEM filters in the cars, but they get Mobil 1 synthetic oil. I guess it do any of it because I’m picky. And I change it myself on all of them because I...

That’s taking it to the next level for sure.

Yup. It’s how one political party sells its ideals to its own party members, at their own detriment. But by gosh those rich business owners need to pay, more.

Accounting for inflation, that’s about $65k today. But I’m sure you could get $35k for the whole set up right now with little trouble. Looks like you bought it right about the time he would have paid off the $19k balance on it.

Seems like the original owner might not have gotten the best information they could have from the dealer when they bought all this equipment. I think they could have gotten an L series of the era in a similar size to with a SSQA loader so that the implements could easily be swapped over...

Well if it’s the gang plug with flat face couplings and it’s locked down in place, there’s not much chance that the couplings can be only half way seated like an Agg style coupling can. The photos look familiar because my B2601 is basically the same tractor as your B2301, it has the same...

Yup, we’ve got west coast pricing out here, add 20 to 25%. But no sales tax in Oregon, except for the 0.57% corporate activity tax (CAT) that gets directly passed on to the consumer and added to the invoice for all large purchases.

Back to the original question, that tractor’s front end loader has a pin on bucket. It has to be removed by driving the pins out. The snow plow would then be pinned on. I think I can see the 3rd function hydraulics on the FEL, which have likely never been used.

Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? no leaks I presume? If this is a HST tractor, any new or louder whines when moving the tractor?

Have you removed/reinstalled the loader? If so, make sure the hydraulic coupling are all full seated at the loader control valve.

FWIW, a pricing sheet I got from one of my local dealers early in 2023 lists the LP SGC 1560 for $7225 and the SGC 1572 for $7781.

Indeed, significant figures are limiting the validity of the calcs when the RC is reported to the nearest inch. Say that the rear tire is actually 145.49 inches vs 145 inches, the calc goes from a 0.31% lead to a 0.03% lag. But it’s all “noise” because one can not increase accuracy of a...

So that how. Give us some photos and we might be able to help better with your initial question.

Those trimmers look just like the sickle bar mower I used to use with the old Ford 8N, but vertical vs horizontal. Relative to a flail mower, I suppose these samurai mowers require less flow?
