Many thanks! Don’t see the “control box” but looking at the up / down arrows imprinted on the rubber bellows it appears to have the type of control I need. Will give them a call for sure!

Purchased 11 months back, as stated the air seat leaks down in about two minutes & ride then becomes unbearable. Apparently during assembly hose barb fitting was over tightened cracking the plastic housing of the control switch. Dealer has supposedly been trying to find a new switch but claims...

As title states, I’d like to add Dynamat style insulation on floor and hopefully in roof of my LS built Boomer 55. There are 4 nuts on on upper roof that appear to secure it to the cab structure; could roof removal be that simple?

Thanks alwaysworking, went to local NH store & owner suggested same steering wheel trick but couldn’t say for sure if they still extended. Back home I turned my silver center a bit, then pulled it off steering wheel, underneath was the large nut holding wheel on; guess telescopic column is a...

Traded my 2012 Kubota L4740 & as you might expect some operator adjusting needed. Major points are the two pedal vs treadle hydrostatic pedal, and seat to steering wheel placement. Feel I can adapt to the two pedal but after about 4 hours with boxblade yesterday I think I prefer the treadle...

No! Car actually WAS owned by (not so old) grandma who did occasionally race the car. The grandson was showing/selling the car for her.

Not tractor related but around 1971ish friend went to nearby city to look at 1968 Chevy SS396 that was advertised in newspaper as owned by “my grandma who only drove it to church on Sundays”. Friend did purchase the car, it was pristine, & title WAS in grandma’s name! After a little questioning...

Cabbed L4740 having a power loss problem that is driving me crazy. Feel it is fuel system related, & so far I have drained & vacuumed tank, replaced fuel pump, air bleeder screw, MANY fuel filters, fuel filter assembly, all hoses. Cracking injector lines produces same miss each cylinder. Now...

Never had a tractor with loaded tires, flat land, soft ground that is wet much of the time are big factors for me. Do agree the M is a better choice for most, just not for me.

Looking like I’ll be trading my L4740 for an MX6000 so adding couple points to an old post. Primary use (80%?) is rotary cutting approx 15 acres with some box blade & plowing. *M6060 is in the neighborhood of 1100 lbs heavier than MX6000. This was a big factor in my decision to eliminate the...

Life is hard when you’re stupid John Wayne

I’ve used Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulater for many years on many items, mostly on the frame of my “over the road” 2007 Kenworth. Very satisfied & continue to buy & recommend it, especially after seeing other eighteen wheelers the same age or newer with so much more damage from road chemicals. It’s...

Years ago couple of sightings on good friend’s farm plus his neighbor losing a couple of calves, game warden & biologist still claimed extinct around here, (and in almost the same breath said shooting one would put you in deep doo-doo). More sightings & couple of close encounters later they...

Those deer must have gotten into the same stuff as the armadillo another poster was having problems with. IIrc he was having to shoot them with big game weapons. [emoji13]

Maybe one year ago had a cracked wheel on my Kenworth T800, local tire shop I usually deal with sold me an Alcoa 11 x 24.5 Durabright, mounting my steer tire on the new rim & installing on the steer axle. They then used my old steer axle rim to replace the cracked rim that was on my rear drive...
