    Limbinator

    Nice to see and follow these projects. Keeps my old brain wheels challenged and turning and they say that helps against possible Alzheimer in your future. My project was more grounded with my root cutter. Need to check on that landhonor plate for another project. Bill

    Cheap third function loader handle

    I didn't know that about prime, I just know they always pitch it every time that I order. I will have to look into that, Thanks again, Bill

    Cheap third function loader handle

    Thanks for your links! I haven't used those kind of connectors before so I ordered a kit of them and the wire which took me to free shipping. My wife does prime but for things like this no sense in both of us having to pay for it. I just love tinkering on things and like to be able to just have...

    Cheap third function loader handle

    Yes it seemed like a back up plan if I mess up any in the future. I have a lot of arthritis issues in my hands and it is a struggle to get things like soldering fine parts sometimes. I just checked the new ones for fit and function holding the switch holder in place and connected to my fluke...

    Cheap third function loader handle

    I took a couple shots of the new and old switches, the one with the red plunger is the new one. edit, the white on the switches is just chalk as i struggle to get the numbers to show up clearly. I bought a couple more of the handles and figured I would change out the switches on them to have...

    Cheap third function loader handle

    I followed your link and bought one of those handles. But in soldering wires to it I must have over heated one because it wouldn't function reliably after that. I noticed that the switch was only rated for 0.5 amp and I think the spec on the 3rd function valve is 1.7 draw. So I think it was...

    Bad Welds?

    I think the rather sad thing here is we sometimes trust someone to help that isn't really qualified to help us out of the jam we find our selves in. In your case it was welding but on this site we see it over and over with mechanical, hydraulic. electrical and even just use of tools and the...

    Bad Welds?

    While I commented earlier in this thread about the fish plate might have contributed to the initial failure, I have to think after that failure if I was doing my own repair I would have added a gusset top and bottom to eliminate some of that flexing. In some pictures of that failure or another...

    Adding power steering to older tractors

    I put one of these on my 1950 8N, It isn't going to win any awards as a restoration but mine is a working tractor. I had to cut off the existing steering shaft and used a lovejoy coupling to mate the 2 shafts. Other things was cutting up the whole steering panel to make room, rework the choke...

    Root cutter

    It looks like I won't be able to run this on my Kubota L2501 because of lower pressure I am ending my thread here with this. I have set up my 8N to run it and it works good at 2700 psi. Thanks to Old Hokie for the 3rd function valve and base he listed on another thread for about $138 delivered...

    Sorry, It started when I asked about the valve that had been listed and I got carried away. I will try to do better. Bill

    One hour job takes..... Too long. Like this post.

    I have one of the c shaped clamp type I think you are referring to for my Subaru. They like to stick filter where I can't hand grip it easily. If that is the style you are referring too it works great!

    Phone app to log/track maintenance for everything

    Off topic but my Oticon hearing aids changed the app and deleted the old one so much for apps. I have 2 pair and the older ones were the ones I would wear if out tractoring cutting firewood etc because of the sweat factor. I was able to have the old app and the new app both on the phone and...
