I have no idea what or where those might have come from!! But, that's sure some scary stuff to find, especially in the hydraulic oil!! Wishing you the best of luck and thoughts.

Ken, I hear you and it does take some sort of lift to remove the rops. I have an old harbor freight engine lift I used. Without that I couldn't have gotten the job done. But, all of the rest is just mechanical stuff that I'm sure you could accomplish. If you can figure out some way to...

You're absolutely right on that - time is money and the coaches are watching the time as well as the students! They don't want to do "anymore" than is necessary - just as the rest of the classified staff pays attention to time and requirements! It's all set. Do what is needed and that's it...

I haven't a pair that actually works well at all. Can't seem to get them to stay on my darn knees. I like the looks of the above set. Next time I'm next to the store I'm going to try a pair of these. Hopefully they'll work as well as they look! Thanks for the info QRTRHRS

Ken, If your mechanically inclined at all you can do the seal swap yourself. I've done it on my 273 and it's tedious, takes a lift of some sort to remove the ROP, and some time to dissemble the axel portion, but -- it's a doable job for a homeowner. Just keep track of what you remove and it's...

Looks good, that's exactly what I was thinking you could do to help with wear.

ptsg, Per the last picture, with your machining skills couldn't you fabricate some type of semi rounded plate to bolt on and protect the center portion of the casing from being drug against the ground? I'd think that would help protect it from wear?

Or re-machine the locker lever so the handle faces down.

LouNY....WOW!! All I can say!!!

Couldn't you just reset spring tension via trial & error? I dunno for sure but it seems like that is possible to me.

Thanks and that's very good to hear! I'm glad life is being good to a hard working man.

Tell me please - Tractor Tech - I follow and appreciate everything you've said in this forum - but is that statement meant to be a + or -? Seeing as you sign in from Ca also! I do agree that Calif has shot down any attempts for shops to comply with the general publics wishes. There used to...

Thanks for the link and info Tactical, I'm going to get myself a pair of those! Greg

That's a thought from the past Roadworthy! There are no more radiator shops anywhere - they'd all rather just replace - not repair! Plus, regulations forced most out of business.

Tactical, where did you get those huge hooks? Those would be very handy for a lot of various tasks. A link or a source please. Thanks Greg
