    ZD 326 Blown Head gasket ZD 331 engine swap???

    Not sure there will be that much of a gain. My 326H has a 72" deck with plenty of power. With that said, I am a proponent of more power. If you need an engine, a 331 would be easy but how about sourcing an 1105 turbo? I built a Grasshopper 928D that had a blown up engine. Found a 34hp 1105 Turbo...

    The BEST HVAC system for your home, hands down

    When we replaced the 2 systems in our house it took us interviewing over a dozen companies before we found someone willing to do the manual calculations. We knew we had duct issues just from a couple hours of reading, also knew we had too much capacity. The Trane we had installed never worked...

    TODAY'S GUN TIME

    Spent maybe 45 minutes on it. Don't cringe, 800 grit, 1000 grit and then 2000 grit. Stroke in the same direction. Had the sandpaper wrapped around a small block of wood and used plenty of oil to keep it lubricated. DO NOT go back and forth with the stroke, it must be the same direction.

    Why do I want to buy a pre-Tier4 tractor?

    Not true, spoil may be to wrong term but it will start to crystallize. That's why dpf systems have a way of sensing quality. Our m6-131 has been in the shop 3 times for issues, it has 2200 hours on it. All three times it go an updated replacement def pump, sensor, injector and all 3 times a...

    L45 Grapple

    There is no way it is "almost identical" and weighs half the weight, just not possible. I've looked at several $1k grapples and none of them have bushings and greaseable pins, they're using bolts and nylon lock nuts as pins, none of them have the clamps come down on steel, rather they free...

    L45 Grapple

    What is a good grapple for the L45? I picked this Caterpillar brand 72" grapple up for a deal but it really is to heavy. The build quality is excellent, greasable pins, 1/2" steel, good cylinders but 1050 lbs. If I could get this quality but with 3/8" steel it would be 200lbs lighter allowing...

    Refurbishing an L45

    I towed the L45 home from northern TN, about a 3.5 hour trip which included the interstate and Mount Eagle. The Ecoboost could actually pick up speed going up the mountain and handled the weight just fine going down. It's all good, keeps things interesting

    Refurbishing an L45

    Gave the Bota a little love. The loader valve cover was beat up pretty good and the cover for the filters was missing. Also, for Christmas got a 3rd function kit. I'm not impressed with the handle, seems kind of cheap but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

    L45 3rd Function Install Help

    See the pic, the instructions state the hose with the red tape....neither hose has red tape and both hoses have the same ends and are the same length. I'm assuming the "out side" is the return, how do I determine which is the return at the block? And does it really matter when both hoses are...

    Vintage Massey - quality pre and post AGCO

    I had my heart set on a nice 135 but in looking at the next series (235, 240, 245 mainly) am finding it easier to find nice low hour tractors. Some of these, like the 245, span through the purchase by AGCO and makes me wonder if quality changed any. Would there be a reason to purchase either a...

    L45 3rd Function - Hydraulic Auger

    I've seen the sales brochure for the L45 state the front 3rd function can be used for more than just a grapple, that it can run a motor up to 12 gpm. I am wanting to run an auger / post hole digger off the FEL. Has anyone run anything other than a grapple off the front of their L TLB using the...

    Kubota Front Axle Vent

    If all goes well I will be picking up a new to me L45 in the AM. It is one owner, 850 hours and has the hydraulic thumb. Other than the obvious (operation, fluids, leaks, play in the pins) is there anything in particular that needs to be checked, anything specific to the L45?
