    Clear Hydraulic Dye

    Can the red dye that they add to diesel fuel be added to the hydraulic fluid with out causing problems? The site glass on my L2501 is just about useless because the oil appears to be clear. Wiping a dip stick, from a TL80A, on a brown paper bag does not always work well.

    Trailer Axle U-bolts

    I have had the u-bolts break on my Big Tex trailer. The front axle yesterday and the rear axle back in December. Both have happen where the highway butts up to a bridge. Has anyone else had a problem with the u-bolts? This is getting expensive. Almost $1000 in parts and new tires. And way more...

    Big Tex trailer equalizer 14 GN

    I have a Big Tex 14 GN with a set of underslung springs. The springs are all eye on one end and a slip on the other. I never noticed before that the equalizer does not set level when the trailer is empty. The weight of the trailer is forcing the rear of the equalizer to touch the bottom of the...

    Kodiak Rotary Cutter, Any brand cutter

    Why on earth do they use round headed bolts to secure the blades on a rotary cutter? I took a 4 inch grinder to the bolt head to make 2 flat spots so the pipe wrench could get a bite. I have pounded on the nuts with an impact and it will not come apart. Now I can not get the socket off. PB...

    Battery Master Switch

    After watching the video from Messicks about making ones tractor harder to steal, I began looking for a battery switch to put on my L2501. All that I found on goggle had an open back to the switch. Some came with a key or a way to add a padlock. With few places to hide the switch I tired to...

    Rhino TS10

    I saw this on TTWT and I was hoping someone on here might have or tried to use one. It is a 10ft bat wing mower that requires 25-50 pto hp, and one remote. It is a flexible mower which is what appealed to me, 90 degrees up and 22 down with 3 spindles. Thank you, G

    L2501 and a green tiller

    I was contracted to do some repairs on a school football field. I was able to rent a green 5 ft tiller for a great price and used it to do the prep work. My goodness what a surprise. That tiller was amazing. Running it in low range and at 540 rpm it just chugged along. You could not even hear it...

    Swinging Draw Bar L2501

    I want to use an old 5 ft pull type disc behind a L2501. I was wondering if someone has fashioned a swinging draw bar for two reasons. One to reduce the wear on the disc as it turns. Second is to set the pivot point to the rear so the tongue of the disc does not come into contact with the rear...

    Hand Controls for a L2501

    I purchased a new L2501 HST in August. I took a pretty bad fall onto my knees in September and it is looking like it will take months to get my knees replaced. I was wondering if anyone has any information for a hand control that could be used for the HST pedal. Most of the information I have...
