I wonder if a better grading effect using a box blade as a starting point would be to imitate a grader? Some sort of a long beam or beams extending rearward from the top of the box blade with tail wheel(s), perhaps? Set to prevent the box from following dips but allowing it to take off the high...

I don't think a box blade will be long enough to have the desired effect.

Probably the manual that shipped to the Canadian market. The information is the same, there's no difference between those sold in the US and those sold in Canada. The US manual is probably in English and Spanish side-by-side. Or maybe all three languages.

That's usually my problem too. I find the best way to locate the spares is to give up and buy more spares -- I'll find the originals as soon as I look for a good place to stash the new batch.

The stock pump is 3usgpm at full working RPM, so you are way ahead of the curve. Mind you, at idle the pressure can stall the engine before the relief valve opens.

How many GPM do you figure you are getting out of it at operating RPM?

Yes, and mine was 836 when I got it. Apparently it said the same at the previous oil change one year prior. It has considerably more now, but it's possible that's because I fixed the power wire. ;-)

At 900 hours on the meter, I wouldn't think there'd be a lot of miles on the cylinders themselves. No pitting or rusting on the rods? They could be leaking internally, but it's equally possible the spool valves are leaking. Or both. If you are going to replace the control valve due to the...

Some creep is normal. A brand new machine will often creep down over time. It's just the nature of the beast. How slow is slow? 5 seconds? 5 minutes? 5 hours? A floppy and/or imprecise joystick is usually caused by loose or worn linkages above the actual spool valves (there's two of them). The...

Google "Leak down test". Basically you apply compressed air to a cylinder at or near TDC on compression stroke (in the case of a diesel, this will require an adapter to the glow plug opening) and listen to determine where the air is leaking out from. EG: If it's hissing out the intake when...

A real nice alternative is M42 -- 8% cobalt. Takes the heat almost as well as carbide, handles interrupted cuts like HSS. Since it's sharpened to the same angles as HSS, it's a great option for smaller, less powerful and less rigid machines. Carbide is so brittle it can't handle much (if any)...

I'd bounce that off the lawyer first. The easement itself may not specify a pond, but there could be case law dealing with deliberate hindering access in general (eg: doctrine of proprietary estoppel).

Laws differ wildly from place to place, but I would think the utility should bear some responsibility for the actions of their contractor.

While there are a lot of hoops to jump through, a Canadian can privately import most used (more than 90 days old, and at least a specified mileage showing on the odometer), unmodified US and Mexico spec vehicles into Canada, with modifications, as the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards...

I've seen B7100 with a FEL in far worse condition with far more hours with an asking price of CDN$10k. Without the mid-mount mower deck and the rear blade. That thing has got to be worth US$10k or more.

CURRENTLY SOLD OUT. Making more is a winter project. I will remove this line when I have made more.

Good point. Another tip: remove all the fuses first. After replacing the wires, with the key off, substitute a test light in place of a fuse, one at a time. If the light iluminates, that circuit is drawing power. The brighter it is, the more power it's drawing which may help trace down a short...

A tip for your investigation: If melted insulation is loose on the wire nearby, it suggests the heat was internal -- the wire itself was overheating first (ie: carrying excessive current). This often happens during a short-circuit. If it's still tight on the wire then the heat was external to...

I've seen guys post amazing holes they dug with their little Kubota and FEL -- holes deeper than the ROPS in at least one case, so yes, it CAN be done. With lots of time and patience and the right soil conditions. If you have more time than money, or if you just enjoy getting out and doing...

New member, first post, clearly led here by a search function or engine after typing in the part number. At least he's trying to do his own research and let's face it: there is some confusion, which is what led to the original topic in the first place. Seems like a reasonable question to me.
