Like the title says when I insert a screw driver or use a hex wrench on the drain “bolt “, the soft plastic just deforms and doesn’t move. The manual says to push and turn the entire valve CC to open but it feels tightly bolted to the engine. Any advice? Thanks

Attempting to drain the oil from this new to me mower I found that the plastic “bolt “ that opens the valve won’t move. When I put a screw driver in it and try to open it, the soft plastic just deforms. Same thing if I use a hex wrench. The manual says push and turn the entire valve CC but it...

With a 52 foot long hemlock log on the pto winch and the 3ph hitch in the up position, the loader doesn’t respond to power down. It will power up and drop when in float. When I drop the logs off the winch the loader operates normally. I calculated the log weight at about 3000 lbs total. I...

Is there any one familiar with the under seat climate control on the M6040. the heat stopped blowing hot air and only blows cold. I’m guessing that the heater control valve has failed closed. A few years ago it stuck open and I put a manual ball valve on one of the heater water lines so I could...

You may or may not know about the catastrophic flooding w've had here over the last few days but I got the chance to do some repair to my mothers driveway after the culvert plugged and washed out the road. Alot of the washed out gravel ended up in my pond, which is usually dry[don't ask]. So I...

So I had the opposite of this issue a couple years back where I would get heat all the time when I tried running the AC or even just the fan. I was told I had a failed heater valve and instead of finding and fixing it, I put a ball valve in one of the heater lines and used that to turn of the...

Chains mounted using the “roll them on” method. No more heavy lifting and dragging. These chains were originally sized to fit my old L4630 with industrial tires so they were way too small for the M6040 with ags. I had to jury rig them to fit. the bigger, taller tires.

We got about 4 inches of heavy wet stuff and I only had the bucket and winch mounted so I missed a lot trying to avoid digging up the soggy driveway

Lately this little saw has been a difficult starter. Normally it would start when it popped after choking and then then fired with no choke on. Now it will almost never pop on choke and I have to pull many times with the throttle wide open, which is the method used when the saw is flooded. If...

I was picking up a log with the loader when I felt a "pop"in the joystick control and the loader stopped lifting. I still have curl function and downward movement. I have not opened up the control cover yet. I was looking for a blow up pic of the loader system but can't locate one; anybody have...

I know this is a huge PITA with the filled heavy tire. It appears that the rubber stem's raised portion that butts against the outside of the rim no longer is holding tightly and juice and air are leaking around it. I know the fix is to remove and drain the tire and insert a new valve stem...

I want to replace the hoses on my hydro side link and the fitting on the link end is shown. MNPX threads into the elbow fitting on the link but it has a flat face not lipped link these. Anybody know? NPX fitting in the background in 4th pic

Welded a new eye on the broken eyed tilt cylinder that has been kicking around the shop for years. It is a mismatch of cat sizes to hook it on but I managed to get it installed and now just have to wait till the current crop of mud dries out to give it a test run. I also have a top cylinder but...

A good friend is selling this dozer. He wants $20k. Hours unknown but condition is excellent for the year. All of the problem areas associated with these machines have either never been a problem or have been remedied. It has wet steering clutches, undercarriage is practically new, factory winch...

Still working through my lost prime issue. Does anyone know the I.D. size of these lines? They all appear to be the same but I don't want to open up the fuel system again to check until I have all the replacement lines on hand. Thanks

After I thought I had solved my no start/no fuel issue, I now find that after sitting for just a little while, it loses prime. It will chuggingly restart after a few 10 second cranks and then smooth out and run fine. I went back over all of the hoses that I pulled off and then reinstalled during...

I was having some intermittent power loss lately where the engine would just rev down and stumble along for a few seconds and then regain power. I changed out the fuel filter and cleaned the fuel strainer. Pumped up the filter till it was hard to push the pump, filled the fuel strainer and...

Lately, when driving up slope, the engine will lose power to the point that in order to keep forward progress, I have to back off the throttle to maintain headway. As soon as it starts to level off, power returns. Today, it also lost power on a downhill run and cleared up when back on the level...

I have been lazy and complacent and have not yet put on the chains, box blade and plow but when we got a 2 inch fall last week, I had/wanted to get some snow seat time just for kicks. Driveway was not yet frozen but the snow was light and fluffy so I took it easy and left a skim. The bucket is...

My better judgement told me not to do it and of course that was ignored... The right rear loaded tire has been leaking from the valve core nslowly for months and today I decided the pull the core and fix it. I first jacked up the tire to unweight it before core removal with the stem at 12 noon A...

The radio was working until one day it wasn't. It powers up, shows the stations and time but no sound from the speakers. I pulled the roof off to inspect the wiring. All connections appear intact and the antenna is hooked up. I am totally ignorant on how to test anything. Any help out there?

Anyone know the core size for 16.9x 28 rear tires? I need to replace the core on the valve stems on my M. I don't want to pull the old one till I have a replacement.

After years of using this saw I just took it for granted that it was just a slow revving saw and got to work...until now! I tried turning the screws in and only could move them slightly more than 1/2 turn. I googled "carb adjust limiter removal" and the examples showed an obvious plastic...

I went to replace the winch cable on my Norse 450 and discovered the old cable is deeply buried in the lower wraps and when I tried using the tractor to pull it free, it just about stood the tractor up on the rear wheels. So it is truly buried/jammed on the drum. I have both winch covers off...

Anyone have a Husky 562XP? I am now looking at a backup saw for the old Jonsy 2171. Still runs great though a bit beat up from the latest hard knocks [see my thread about damaged my saw] Like everything else, the new saws have "computers" built into them and it concerns me a bit. Any feedback...

Stupidly rolled a log onto my Jonsered 2171 and torqued the handle enough so that the trigger jams and won't release:eek:. I can't figure out what is the order of disassembly to access the trigger and linkage. The handles, fuel tank etc. are one piece. I pulled off the top cover to view the...

Still too wet to bring them M over to the woodpile so little T1460 gets the nod to haul splitter and wagon. I have to put a hitch on the wagon so I can haul them both at once.

I have just 1 rear remote on my M and saw this as a less expensive and more convenient way to get another remote. Any feedback or comments on its usage? Hydraulic Multiplier Kit, SCV Splitter Diverter Valve Including Couplers and Switch Box Control

I am reaching out to you manual BSM l owners for feedback on this mill: LX25 Portable Sawmill| Portable Sawmills & Wood Processing Equipment I don't intend to do any production or for hire work. Just a few boards or timbers when I need some. I have the time and energy to do that. I Have read...

1- My Dad's POS Poulan 2000 saw had been sitting in his garage for years. I dragged out his and gave it a going over, meaning, I put fresh fuel in, choke on, pulled on the cord untll it popped [took a few], choke off, pulled again and it fired. It then took a little fiddling time to...

Usually when I run the AC, it starts up and is putting out cold air quickly. I put it on recirc and the little green lighted button illuminates. Lately, when I push the recirc button, it does not light up immediately and the AC seems to have much less force and cooling. After a while, some...

My M is coming up on 400 hrs and was getting ready to purchase the necessaries for fluid change. I was just looking through the manual and it says 600 hrs between changes. Have they altered the hours or what? The manual is dated from 2008 if that makes a difference as my machine is a 2010.

Welded a 2 inch receiver into the bucket so I could retrieve my trailer that has been languishing in a muddy spot off my tractor trail. I could reach it with the bucket with the tractor mostly on the dryish trail.

I just opened up the seized engine off my Dad's lawn tractor. The connecting rod was in about 10 pieces. Does anyone have a link to a service/repair manual? I am unsure of how to remove the gear that runs off the crankshaft and don't want to break any more parts.

I changed the diff fluid with SUDT and put 10-30 in the HST. I also cleaned the HST filter. Now it won't move at all. Does it need to be bled or some other procedure after a fluid change? Any ideas? These are the recommended fluids for the trans. according to the manual I saw online. From the...

I just got a call from a friend with an L3010 HST. He put a tow ball on his 3 pt spreader bar to pull his wood splitter but did not like it rotating around as he towed the splitter. In a fit of inspiration [without a lot of forethought] he lowered the sidelinks and attached the outboard end of...

After much deliberation, I decided on and ordered a 36 inch Thumb grapple to mount on my forks. Once I have the unit on hand I can figure out the best way to modify the forks as some cutting and welding will be necessary since I have to reinforce the fork back board to accept and secure the...

Has anyone used one of these? Opinions about construction and materials. For the money, it offers the "casual" grapple user a decent tool. It looks pretty good. http://user1197575.sites.myregisteredsite.com/index.html

The tractor's not the shed's that is...first oops on the big[ger] machine:o During an early season <15* spell of weather, I backed the new M into the driveshed roof, which was originally built for a JD 350 dozer and easily accommodated my L4630 but its max height above the M is only 2 inches...

Hi, The fan motor in my L4630 is shot. I pulled off the cabin roof but it does not look like it comes out the top. All the AC lines etc run over the housing. Would it come out by dropping the inner headliner? Also does anyone have a working used fan for sale? Thanks Andrew
