They are awesome tools. I have an ancient one, unsure of the model. I recently bought the Harbor Freight universal frame for it. Yours may work better on it than mine does. I had to do some slight modification to get the full cut in "chop saw" configuration. It is a little touchy to dial in...

I like it. I like it a lot! Does the thumb tuck in pretty well in the fully open position?

Cool! I look forward to seeing more of your project. The BT1100 on my L48 has a USA Attachments manual thumb. It looks pretty possible to modify it for hydraulic operation, but would take considerable metal working skills to pull off, which unfortunately, I lack. I can melt welding rods...

In the spring time, my brother in law flushes his front mount Kubota deck in the big puddle in front of his shop. He lowers the deck into the puddle and runs it for a minute or so. He says it works pretty well. Otherwise, the big puddle is not very desirable to have. Later in the year of...

Yes, I have noticed discrepancies like that on my L48 documentation also. I won't try to quote any instances, but they are there...seems kind of goofy that the tech writers can't get on the same page. Doug

I really like my L48. Definitely overbuilt. The only weird thing is the turning brakes on the same side as the treadle pedal. No biggie though. Doug

A nice day for burning here in western Washington. Todays burn is a relatively small pile I wanted to get cleaned up before summer.

That is the same system that my Seppi mower uses. The parts manual calls it a "Viblock". Definitely a good system. I needed to remove the gearbox to get all the contaminated gear oil out. I had never seen a viblock fitting and was kind of dreading how it was going to come apart, but it...

I have thought about buying it that way. But, since I only apply it after the season, it's not too big of a deal. Doug

You might be able to find some orange paint on the underside of my mower deck, but not much. I pressure wash the underside after the season and let it dry. I empty a full can of Fluid Film on it. During the season, I blow out the underside after each 2.5 hour mowing. It is a little easier...

I use it also. I like it. Doug

I like it! Good job. Doug

A much better explanation than mine. :) Doug

There is a lever to the right and below the steering wheel that you lift while pressing the brake pedals. A parking brake indicator on the dash should light, but may not if the switch mechanism is faulty. Doug

Congratulations on your new machine. I have the L48 as well. If you were so inclined, I sure would like to see pictures of the rest of the top and tilt hydraulic control valves and the plumbing/hoses (where pictures are possible). As was mentioned above, they are vary capable machines. Did...

The L48 comes from the factory with a pretty heavy duty guard. Picture was taken to display the loader cylinder supports, but shows the radiator protection pretty well. It is a pretty heavy duty set up.

I just replaced the inner tie rod ends on my L48. I think they were probably fine, except the boots were shot. It appears they only make boots for the BX machines. Has anyone seen them for other machines? Also, I would like to replace the boots on the outer tie rod ends, as they are pretty...

That will certainly do that. I was a construction field superintendent for over 20 years. I got to hate messes. I keep the floors pretty tidy...can't help it. Also, I use wheels also. I have a pallet jack, a few pallets and several dollies. I have two six caster, steel dollies that were...

My L48 has individual brakes on the same side as the treadle pedal. I can't adequately express how stupid of a design this is. My grandfather's Massey Ferguson 35 brakes were never locked together. We used them individually very often. You could turn on a dime with the brush hog raised, just...
