I intend to swap out my old hydraulic filter for a new one without first draining the hydraulic fluid from the tractor...has anyone ever done this?...the fluid looks good however I feel the filter should at least be changed to eliminate any possible contaminants in the system.....is there an...

Hello to all!! I'm building roller toe boards for my sawmill much like the one pictured below.....they are used to raise the small end of a log so the log-center/pith at both ends of the log are an equal distance from the mill bunks which ensures a proper first cut.....my plan is to build the...

radair: as promised (but a little late-sorry) here are the pics of the two grader blades I built for the hoe...front and back....the pockets are actually on the shorter blade and not the longer one as I had previously stated....instead of pockets, I just welded a piece of angle iron which...

When is a forum thread a pissing match?:laughing:

This is the one that I use....20 X 12 X 10.....it has a steeper pitch roof...snow does not accumulate but simply slides off....I also have the round top 24 X 12 X 10 however it does have a tendency to accumulate snow on top under certain conditions such as wet snow etc....

I am having intermittent starting problems with my tractor. I will turn the key to start....nothing happens immediately however within a few seconds of just leaving the key in the "start" position, electrical contact is made and it starts. I have done the "brute force starter test" as outlined...

This is mine.... 20' X 8'......3 beams across creek- 8" X 8"X 20 ft (white spruce covered with tar paper to prevent moisture build-up and rot)).... supported by railway ties recessed into the creek-bank at each end.....3" decking ( white pine and jack pine treated with sealer)...underneath...

From the bush to the mill....white spruce dead-fall.....grapples are great!! 13 foot log going down an 8 foot wide bush road makes things interesting: ....and finally on the mill:

The Dolmar 7910 is a beast....I use mine with the Alaskan Saw Mill...Oak planks.

Greetings to all...There is a round female 12 volt outlet at the lower right-rear side of the tractor, situated under the fender area. Although it appears there is room for 6 connectors, there are actually 5 wires entering to 5 internal connectors. I've done an extensive search on the TBN forums...

Hi Leejohn.....the line with the ninety degree fitting (identified as T1 on the valve) coming off the bottom of the valve sporting the white tape goes to the "in" port of the hydraulic block...this would be the left-hand port shown in picture number 2 in the first post at the top of this page...

Okay....some more pics...maybe this will help JJ....I partially removed the valve from the mounts to examine the ports and there is no port that is labelled BY,PBY, CO, etc..There are also no ports on the center side, on either side of the control valve. In picture #3, the rear port/line that...

I'm trying to identify a specific port on my FEL control valve. The port in question is the P1 port on top. This port has a plug in it at this time as you can see from the side view in the picture. Could this be the Power Beyond port? The lower T1 port on the control valve is connected to the...

Hi JJ...thanks for the info....I realize operating two levers simultaneously is an issue....for instance dumping/opening the grapple as the loader arms are being raised for one smooth and seamless operation...I'm a little leery about the electrical 12V thing....those valves still need to be...

Thanks MtnViewRanch....I'm currently considering this one which seems to meet all the requirements: Feature(s) Compact design, lightweight, excellent metering characteristics, convertible for many applications Application(s) Well suited for both Mobile and Industrial applications...
