With the FEL complete, I need a cab to shelter from the blowing snow that will soon be here. This is going to be tight, so rather than trying to draft up something carved in stone, I just sketched out some rough ideas and bought some 1" lightwall square tube, finalizing the design as I'm...

I'm in Ontario, Canada, building a FEL. Where is a good source for steel hydraulic tubing? Princess Auto only carries hose.

After a lot of research and tinkering with design ideas, I've finally settled on a plan and started work: EDIT 2023/01/04: Six years later and I'm working on my third clutch. I think I've tracked the problem down to a flaw in the subframe design, as shown in the above photo. (Full...

I'm working on designing (actually, adapting an existing design) a FEL for my B7100. Does a 5 cu ft. capacity bucket sound about right? The owner's manual indicates a limit of 500lbs capacity for a FEL. The same manual indicates a 42" bucket width, but the tractor is wider than that. I'd like...

Has anyone here tried using this fellow's FEL plans? : http://www.pf-engineering.com I'm looking for FEL options for a soon-to-be-mine B7100HST. This design is supposed to have a lift capacity of at least 500 lbs (depending on cylinder size, pressure, etc. up to 3,000 lbs) and can apparently...

While prowling everybody's favourite auction site for the B7100 HST-D WSM service manual I found an offering for the "Factory Service Repair Manual" consisting of "hundreds of pages" of detailed information. I actually prefer PDF manuals as they don't take up as much storage room and I can print...

My uncle is moving to a retirement community, and I have agreed to purchase his one-owner 1994 B7100. It's 4wd and hydrostatic transmission, which I believe makes it a B7100HST-D or B7100HSD? It comes with turf tires, a well-worn front mount blower in need of serious repair, a 2 year old 3ph...
