I drilled out the hole on my drawbar so I could use a 2" ball. It was close to the correct diameter so it just needed to be slightly larger. I've moved trailers that take a 2 5/16" ball with the 2" ball without a problem, I just take it easy and it's fine. You do need to make sure you have...

I hitched up the bush hog today, which was very easy with the extendable top link. Hooking up the PTO is always a nuisance with the quick hitch but it's ready to go. Tilting the BH worked well to get the edges of the driveway trimmed without picking up gravel along the way. Before I hitched...

I do have to be careful about pulling the top link all the way in and raising the 3pt hitch all the way up as the levers that lock the hitch on can hit the bottom of the taillights. That could be an expensive mistake, but it was also true with the screw link as well. I didn't see any other...

There is enough clearance between the filter and the hoses to change it without having to disconnect anything. The sectional valve output was SAE 10, I used a reducer to SAE 8 so that all hoses had straight SAE 8 connectors. There is a right angle fitting on the PB return to the manifold. One...

I installed 3 rear remotes on my 2017 L3301 with help from TheOldHokie. I ordered top and tilt cylinders from Fit-Rite, and bought a set of sectional valves from Dan. I decided to mount the valves behind the seat, using the ROPS to support the outside end. I used one of the blind nuts that...

I cut the pin-on mount plates off with a plasma cutter and welded an SSQA adapter plate onto the bucket. It was a lot cheaper than buying an SSQA bucket.

I have a 60" pin-on bucket for the LA525 loader (L3301) that I would like to sell or trade for an SSQA bucket of the same width. I'm in southeast Indiana, and we can work out delivery or delivery/pickup. The bucket is straight and has 2 bolt-on chain hooks. Looking for $350 or nearest offer...

Timing is everything, right?

I'll take the set, Dan. PM incoming.

I ordered a set of mats for my L3301 HST and they were delivered today. They fit perfectly. Thanks to Hawk67.

Since I'm planning to move the adjustable side link to the left side, I was thinking I could cut the fixed side link and use the ends from it. Is that a good way to go for this upgrade?

I would suggest that you NOT leave 4WD engaged if you're turning on pavement.

I wanted to use a drawbar with a mid-mounted 2" ball to move trailers around at my place. But I ran into the same problem with the drawbar rotating until the ball was at the bottom - not too useful in that position. I welded some 1/4" angle iron to the drawbar , you could use 1/4" plate steel...

FMVSS section 393-43 disagrees with you on that point. I don't see any mention of brakes on both axles as an exception.

The consensus seems to be that a separate ground wire, rather than using the frame, is best. The lights will all be LED this time around. The side marker lights are round 3/4", the tail/brake/turn are the normal type, and the amber forward, red rearward lights on the fenders are LED as well...

I'm in the process of rewiring the flatbred trailer I use to haul my L3301. I'm adding some side marker lights, amber/red lights on the tops of the fenders, and installing a breakaway system. My question is regarding the ground. On boat trailers I've owned, I rewired them and ran a separate...

If you have a Rural King near you, you might take a look at the King Kutter box blades. I went with it, a BB-60-RR, 5' wide and it works very well. I like that the scarifiers are held in slots in a square tube, and the weight is a solid 450 pounds. I purchased mine earlier this summer and it...

The 3pt hitch control lever on my L3301 seems harder to move than it needs to be. When you're trying to raise or lower a box blade I inevitably overshoot and have to try and nudge it into the position I wanted. Looking from the back of the tractor, the lever runs down to a shaft running right...

And I still want to be able to disconnect and remove the loader, so I'll need to use couplers on those 2 lines from the diverter. I'll need to fab a mount for the diverter so that it can stay on the tractor when the loader is removed. That way I can still run the hydraulic top link with the box...

I have an L3301HST, and i want to add front and rear remotes. Rear for a hydraulic top link, and front for running a grapple. I'm considering the EA 3rd function valve kit to add the basic functionality that I need. But I want to make it more useful so some additions are needed. I think a...
