Any one install a water temperature gauge on a B7100? Where can you mount the probe?

The bucket on my FEL keeps dropping. Its a 1970's model B7100 with a two lever control valve. Fluid level is fine and I have no problems with the loader arms. I probably need to re-build the rams, but just wondering if it might be in the control valve. Can the control valves be repaired...

I have an opportunity to buy a JD 3203 with a model 300 loader. +- 300 hrs on it for $11,500. It has been garage kept and very well maintained. Does this sound like a good deal? Are there any issues with this particular model that I should be cautious about. Thanks, Steve

I am planning to build a shop/storage building in the near future, 30 x 40 hopefully. Any feelings out there about the advantages of a pole barn as compared to a traditional steel framed metal building or vice-versa. A local builder will turn-key a 30'x50'x12' pole barn w/ 1-10x10 roll door and...

Here is a pic of my latest project.

I purchased my B7100d w/ FEL in April of 2005 for $800.00. I really didn't think I actually needed a tractor, but for the money I figured I could always get my money back. Little did I know that 6 months later a woman named (hurricane) Rita would storm through our back yard and give me plenty of...

Greetings, Looking to purchase a tiller for my B7100d tractor. I was hoping to get something in the 48" range. Steve
