    Turning Blue

    Congrats on your new 4041H. I got mine in March 2013 and love it. It'll definitely handle a 6' bush hog with no problems. It's a tough little tractor for sure. Add a grapple and lift forks for the FEL and you'll be ready to tackle almost anything. Here's mine...

    PTO pump replacement

    I just picked up a used Long Mfg., Model 1200, backhoe attachment that was originally powered through a PTO driven hydraulic pump rated at 8 gpm @ 2000 rpm. Based on pictures shown in the manual, this pump was attached to the 540 rpm PTO shaft using a gearbox that increased the rpms to drive the...
