I’m a member of 23 different forums, related to everything I am interested in and do. Sometimes I go months/years between posts. Doesn’t speak to my qualifications, or my experience. I post on boards that relate to current projects/works. I think you’re making a ridiculous claim, and have far...

Got it all wrapped up a few days ago. I also got my tailpipe mod done, hope that helps keep the loader arm from getting so dirty/black from startups. For now, she’s all serviced up and ready for another 50 hours.

Did the font axle fluid tonight. Still waiting for filters before jumping into the motor oil change. Took the loader off, so much easier to get to everything!

Yeah, I considered an AGM, but I ended up just putting the original battery back in. Acid levels were good.

Well it’s finally time for my 50 hour service. Got all the filters and oil ordered up (~$160). Have to wait a week before it’s all here, so in the meantime I greased everything, pulled the loader off and all engine panels off, pulled the battery (terminals were all corroded, hold-down bracket...

Finally got to a few tractor projects, the Mahindra is doing great! Cleared 200’ of property line between me and the commercial building behind. It was a scrub/brush mess, 4 trailer loads of debris pulled out. Planted 16 Leyland Spruce, fabric the whole line around the trees, spread 6yds of...

Lol....looks like I need to test my PTO! It does spin, but I haven’t put it under load yet. I have a post hole digger, I’ll test it out on that!

Lol....I’m just now getting around to this dipstick mod on the tractor. Would you possibly know what year/engine that S10 dipstick came off of? Going see what’s around/what I can find. Thanks!

I let mine “idle” (add a bit of throttle to 1100) in the cold weather until I see the temp gauge begins to climb, then I just take it easy for a few minted before getting to the work. I’m going to be adding a heater to it at some point, I think it’ll be good for the longevity of the machine (and...

I’m in the “I’ll help you with your project” camp. I very much enjoy helping others, but a broken piece of loaned/borrowed equipment (making it in-available to me) would be poorly received. I’d I break the thing while I’m helping someone else then so be it, I broke it, and wouldn’t even ask...

Well we have begun crawling out of the grips of old man winter....looking forward to a productive spring project season to prepare for summer. Fence along my property line at the rear, finish the pool pad, driveway grade and cap...plus whatever else I come up with[emoji1787] I used the...

Any updates? How’s the LS treating you?

Howdy folks. Been looking at post hole diggers for my Mahindra 1626. Found the County Line brand (Tractor Supply as I’ve come to know). Actually made the purchase of that brand (and a 9” auger). Checked on my order today, says it’s canceled. Called the store, got their absolute best moron on the...

I’m on season 4 with my entry level commercial Husqvarna M-ZT 52. I got the Kawasaki motor, 3200 series commercial hydros, and the seat is extremely comfortable (though comfort is quite subjective). Thing flies, cuts wet/damp grass great, easy to grease and maintain. I was just under $6k out...

Got to my first project with the new tractor. We are getting a pool, so I had to move the kids swing set and play fort/sandbox. Also had to begin leveling off the area for the pool. Machine make quick work of all of it, spread 10 yards of screened gravel. Have a load of sand coming for...
