You have a beautiful spot, Newwaterman!! With all your trees and woods, a pto powered leaf blower behind your LX2610 would make your fall leaf cleanup a breeze. A few of us here have them. Been using mine for the last week. the leaves just get blown right back into the woods.
someone get @Newaterman a PTO leaf blower asap! :ROFLMAO:

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it cost you to do the entire service? And what did you do?
$87 I believe, engine oil change, and both hydraulic filters. Dropped enough hydro doing the suction filter that I more or less changed half of that 😂

Great afternoon using the chain harrow. Worked the thousand yards of wood chips in the park and then hit the parking lot. These days away from the desk and office are heaven!

Found out from my wife tonight after last mowing of the season she is expecting me to give her tractor yearly bath before parking in the garage for winter.

All done and here I am parked under my entrance; The Davis Vineyard, LP, but no grapes have been grown here since the mid 1800's which was before my G Granddad bought it in 1899 & 1904. I bought it in 2004, which was exactly 100 years after he bought it.

Not sure if anyone else had this problem or not, but my hoe levers on my bh77 backhoe would hit when pushing them towards the outside of the machine. So I cut them and centered them in the hole and re welded them. Now it swings perfectly and the bucket opens properly. Nothing like cutting apart a brand new machine lol

When my BH77 arrived in 2019 I was putting it through its checkout ride in an open area. All of a sudden, an outrigger would retract and I thought I had broken something. Nope. A little while later....same thing. Now paying attention, I found a combined motion of swinging the boom to the right and up would cause the rubber boot to activate the stabilizer lever and the tractor would drop on that side. Same combination on the dipper stick would do the same on the other side. I showed the dealer and they offered to take it to the shop and see what they could do. But that would take a while.

In a couple of hours, I made two new stabilizer levers that were re shaped to avoid those conditions. Problem solved. The control valves are just too close together with no room for error in the making and positioning of the control handles.

Originals on top. Soaking the originals in boiling water allowed the rubber tips to slide off and get placed on the new handles.....after they were painted black, of course.

Below is the original configuration. You can see how close the rubber boot is to the outrigger levers even with the control handles sitting in the "neutral" position.

I was at dirt dog just last week picking up some skids for our land leveler at work.
They build one heck of a shipping frame around these things. Took me 2 hours to get it off.

Repaired the idler pulley on my mower deck and fixed an injector that was stuck open due to gunk and rust. No more grey smoke and a solid running engine and tomorrow I may mow the neighbors field just to have fun. I'm all out of grass to mow and I have to checknmy repairs somewhere.

The best time to take a machine apart is when its new, clean and rust free.
