Can't mark forums read today. Anyone else having this problem?

I've noticed that in the past few days that anything posted in Front Porch don't show up when I click on new posts. I have to manually switch to FP to see newest posts. Did something change? For example: I used to click on new posts to see if anything new was posted in Groan part quatre. Past...

A while back someone posted a link (or a source to the cloud or dropbox) to download the pdf manuals. I can't find the post using the search function. At the time I did download them but my previous laptop died and the files were not recoverable. Does anyone have the link?

Has the trucksbynet site been shut down? I tried several times but get a 404-site not found msg. I know I haven't checked in for a while but got bored today and tried to get there to read some posts.

Hopefully one of you computer gurus can help. Is anyone besides me having problems logging in? For the past 2 days it has taken a long time to log in. I keep getting the name or password is incorrect window reply. Then I received 3 emails from TBN saying someone tried to log in to my acct. with...

Besides the great tractor stuff posted here I feel an emptiness. Now that FP is gone so is one of my daily enjoyments which was checking for new jokes and memes mainly posted by CowboyRon, Myself, and others. They made my day. I did log in to the new TNT forum and have watched and read the posts...

Went to a local car show today. About 270 cars made the show but I saw one really RARE car. It is a street rod made with a Kubota diesel engine mated to a 5 spd. manual trans. The man that built it lives in FL. but the owner has residence in FL and NY and brought it to the show. Claims to get 50...

I made up some brackets and connecting rod to raise and lower my 3 pt arms from the back of the tractor. Just a few pieces of 1 1/2" x 1/8" x 13" flat steel, 1 1/2" x 1/8" x 8" angle, 3/8" x 6 1/2" rod with 2 washers welded on each end and misc. nuts, bolts, and washers. On the factory arm there...

THIS IS Really Pretty Accurate: EATING IN THE FIFTIES Pasta had not been invented. It was macaroni or spaghetti. Curry was a surname. A take-away was a mathematical problem. Pizza? Sounds like a leaning tower somewhere. Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time. All chips were...

Seenager I am a Seenager. I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are...

Bought my used Lorenz 84" a few weeks ago. Cleaned it up, greased the bearings and joints, Freed up PTO shaft, fixed skid shoes, installed flow restrictors, sanded and primed scratches, Welded stop bars on the chute rotator gear, welded on an extension for the upper link so it fits my quick...

Got a snow blower for my tractor. I wasn't really looking for one since my front QA snow plow is doing a great job plowing snow. While scanning the web the other day and I found a used older Lorenz 730 series double auger blower for sale at a price that was too good to be true. I know its an...

Anyone have the part numbers or cross reference for filters for the MF 1734E with Shibaura 3 cyl? I have only been able to find the oil and fuel filter part numbers. Oil Filter - 7064608M91 Fuel Filter - 3608255M1 = Wix 33262 or NAPA 3262 Hydraulic Filter -...

At around 7:30 PM (Eastern) today the TBN site slowed to a turtle pace. It takes several minutes to bring up the site, load a page or reply to posts. It took me 4 minutes to post this. I have no problems on any other sites.

Just an FYI. Usually, hose clamps are not on my list of things to check before running the tractor. Two weekends ago we had about 26" or so of snow. I used the tractor plowing the snow and noticed the cab wasn't getting warm. No heat and the temp gauge was climbing way above the normal range...

I'm considering buying a 1988 International S1800 tractor (as in tractor trailer). It is no longer used as a tractor but instead has an 8 dump pickup bed on it (so its a big toy). I've been told it has the IDI 444 engine which is a 7.3L naturally aspirated engine. Website info says this engine...

Went to a car show / flea market yesterday. Picked up a couple old Coast Guard large ammo boxes cheap minus the ammo. $10. each and they will hold a lot of chain, straps, or whatever. They are 17 1'2"L x 7 1/2"W x 14" deep. Very little rust. Sandblasted the rust off, primed and painted and will...

I've been wanting a 4WD indicator and a Voltmeter for my tractor so I ordered the parts last week. Today I received the rest of my parts and got everything installed. Started with the 4WD indicator. Made a bracket out of angle steel to mount the long lever micro switch. Test fitted everything...

Any LS owners bought a seat cover for their tractor seat? I am looking for one to fit my seat to keep it clean. I'm still using the original plastic but it won't last forever. I did a search a few days ago and found this site but they don't list seat sizes or prices. COVERALLs Mid Back Seat...

I've seen a few posts on drop in stake pocket D Rings and priced a few. Cheapest I found was $22 each (incl. S&H) by R&P on Ebay but only rated for 5K max (1600 working load) $30 each plus S&H through Kaufmann, $20 each (for 6 or more) plus S&H through Johnson Trailers $30 each plus S&H...

Amazing how things snowball. In Feb. 2014 I purchased my LS XR3037HC. With loaded tires and attachments it was slightly over the weight limit of my H&H 7K tilt bed trailer so a few months later (Sept. 2014) I replaced the trailer with a new PJ TF22' 14K full tilt bed trailer. The new trailer...

Anyone own one or know of something similar. I occasionally need to take my 100 gallon propane tanks to the store for a refill. I also need to load other heavy items from time to time. It is a bit overkill to strap the tank(s) upright on my 22' tilt bed trailer so I'm looking for a simpler...

Posted in Hyd thread but here's a link to a brief video of the bucket flop condition I believe many of us have. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/videos/353650-ls-tractor-bucket-flop.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YceVf5bWyUA https://youtu.be/YceVf5bWyUA...

Here's a brief video showing the bucket flop when put in dump mode. In dump mode I can lift the bucket a few inches like there is no pressure. When dropping the loader arms to back drag the bucket will curl up a few inches requiring further dump action with the joystick to get the desired back...

I've noticed a lot of LS tractor owners have a bucket flop problem. Raise, lower, and curl functions all seem to work fine. But when you go to dump mode in order to back drag you have to bump the joystick to get pressure to keep the bucket where you want it. If you just go to dump mode and lower...

Looks like I'll be getting some seat time the next couple of days. Lake effect is supposed to hit us tonight. I'm in the 12-20" band.

Trying to help my neighbor diagnose his tractor. He has a GC2300 with loader. According to him, He was using it when the loader and 3 pt. just stopped working. The strange thing to me is the HST still works, tractor is able to move forward and backward with no problem. Steering whines a little...

OK guys, for those of you installing aftermarket radios in your cabs here is the wiring for the factory plug. This will be correct for all 3000 series cabs and I suspect the 4000 series cabs will be the same. Picture 1 shows the 6 pin radio harness from tractor Pink wire separate from the...

Safety reminder to all. With warmer weather coming everyday don't forget to be careful around your equipment. Farming Accidents

For those of you with cab models my loader joystick handle loosened up while I was out plowing snow today. I don't know if open station joysticks have the plastic shroud cover but tightening the lock nut should be the same. It was an easy 5 minute fix. 1) Remove small round plastic front screw...

Just a couple pics of today's plowing. Had 12" in the driveway when I left for work at 5AM today. Found another 5" when I got home. 17" so far in 2 days and still snowing a little. Outside temp right now at 5:30 PM is 2* with a wind chill of -10*. Nice to get some seat time. Punxatawny Phil says...

Since I finished up the BH sub frame I decided to add some expanded mesh to the brush guard. Here's a few pics. Paint is drying now so will install back on tractor tomorrow and post an installed pic then.

Picked up a new to me BH750-3 backhoe today with a sub frame. Over the next few weekends I have to adapt the sub frame to fit (bolt up) to my tractor. Once fitted and tested I'll have the rest of the winter to clean it up and repaint it. It is PTO pump driven and works very smooth. Previous...

I posted a reply to another thread that the mirrors are very close to the door (less than an inch) when opening. Also, numerous times upon entering the cab I hit the mirrors knocking them out of adjustment. So I made up a couple brackets that move the mirrors forward 4" and out 1". Also noted...

Have been trying to do my daily check in on TBN and find it very slow today. All other sites I went to are quick and working fine. Took me 5 minutes to post this thread. Hope it speeds up soon. It's very frustrating. Got this message trying to submit thread. Service Temporarily Unavailable...

NOTICE TO ALL CAB TRACTOR OWNERS For those who leave their tractors outside or use them when raining. Water can get in through the opening on top and fill the void behind the mirror with water. I just noticed today that my mirrors were half full of water. I rotated the mirror 90* and heard water...

Did my 50 hour service this weekend. Did the service a little early (41.5 hrs.). Used factory LS filters. All went smooth. I went with Delo Synthetic 5-40 for the engine. Changed the Hydraulic and HST filters also then topped off. Went thru everything on the 50 hr. checklist and didn't find...

Found a local 2006 F250 Lariat Supercab 4x4 truck for sale. Haven't looked at truck yet but considering. Truck has 112k miles, 6.0 PS turbo diesel, 6 spd manual, leather heated seats, 3.73 ratio, new tires for $11k GCWR is 23,000, Conventional trlr. rating 12,500 What problems should I look for...

Started my snow plow build today. Had an old 7'6" Diamond snow plow just hanging around taking up space so figured I'd put it to use on the tractor. Received a Quick Attach plate today ordered from Titan Attachments. I got the heavy duty plate 1/2" thick. Started tacking it to the plow A-frame...

Bought a new to me trailer today. It's a 2013 new leftover PJ Model TF222 tilt bed. 83" between the fenders, Removable fenders, Sealed wiring harness, LED lighting, Overall length of deck is 23' 2" including the 30" knife edge tail, Dexter EZ lube 7000# torsion axles, powder coated paint...

Anyone heard of this welder? I haven't found anything online. I believe it was built in 1995 from a tag on it. It's a model 2234, has Hi and Low plugs for AC and DC. Has the hand crank on top for setting the amps. Came with 40' lead with clamp for ground and a 48' lead with stinger. I saw it at...

I logged in (actually the classified section recognized me) Entered all description info required where I could. Wanted to list a trailer for sale. There is no section for equipment trailers so I chose construction equipment other. Added all my pictures. Clicked on submit and TBN kicks it back...

Finally got around to filling my rear tires. I put 39 gallons of -20 degree windshield washer fluid in each. At 7 lbs per gallon that added about 546 lbs. more ballast. I filled each tire until fluid came out with the stem in the 11 O'clock position. That should be 75-80 percent. The tire...

I am considering replacing my 7K 20' tilt bed trailer with a 10-15K 20-22' tilt bed. The 7K always has done a great job. Just replaced all 4 rims, tires, brakes, bearings last fall. Since I bought a new tractor in Feb. I am now at the 7K trailers maximum capacity. Actually I am probably a little...

I just found out today it is against the law to have your trailer hitch in the receiver when not towing a trailer. Local and State PD are issuing tickets if they see your truck on the road with a hitch in the receiver. There is also a big push this month for pulling over all trucks towing...

I'll post this here instead of the hydraulics forum because it pertains to my LSXR3037HC. Anyone know what the flow rate is for the rear remotes? It's probably the same as the R series. I can't find anything in the owners or service manual other than the relief valve setting pressure. I already...

Well, new to me. Found a good deal on CL for a PHD. Went to look at it. Gearbox felt nice and tight, no slop. But frame has seen some abuse. Auger is the heavy duty 9" double flight but shear bolts are wrong size and bent. Boom adjust holes are all oblong. Lift pins are loose. PTO shaft yokes...

I posted this in the Attachments forum but figured I'd post here too since they'll be used on my LS. Picked up a 6' King Kutter box blade and a Ford 917A Flail mower today. A couple had them for sale about 15 miles from me. I had stopped last week to look and made an offer. Today, after removing...

Removed a dead tree this morning. Didn't want it to fall in the road during a storm. We had 60 MPH winds during a storm the other day. Pulled it down with a cable hooked to the tractor. After the mess was cleaned up I got a call from a couple selling a 6' box blade and a Ford Flail mower that I...

Finished installing my thumb. See all the pics in the Attachments thread post Added a thumb.

I finally ordered and received a Thumb for using on my bucket and forks. I bought it from Greensmachine. I got the 36" model but they have shorter ones. I also bought 2 thumb base plates. One for the forks and one for the bucket. So, here's the pics over the past couple days. 1-9 Test fitting...

Just posted a bunch of pics in the trailer & transportation thread. Check them out when you can. George

Just picked up my new trailer. It's made by Cross Country Mfg. here in NY. It's a model 616DT8LP. Has a 16' long bed, 80" wide, 20" high sides. GVWR is 13,800. Empty weight is 3300 lb. load capacity is 10,500 lb. Standard features include EZ lube axles, 7K tongue jack, Brakes on both axles...

It just started a few days ago. When I click on the thread it takes me to the first page (399 of 399) instead of the newest post first. Seems to be the only thread that is doing it. I have my general settings set to linear newest first. Anyone else have this going on? Also have the same problem...

I'm considering loading my rear tires with washer fluid. They will require about 35 gallons each for an approximate weight of 280 lb per tire. (560 lbs for both) My local NAPA store sells windshield washer concentrate in 32 oz bottles for $1.99 per their site. Each 32 oz. bottle makes 15...

What's the deal with LS Tractor. It seems they have removed or blocked access to all sites that used to let you look up LS tractor parts online. Of course none of them had parts manuals for the new XR series but they did have them for C,S,G,I,J,R,U,and P series. What's the harm in letting owners...

Well, I picked up a new set of forks the other day. I got mine locally from a skid steer place. I would have bought a set from Titan Attachments but these were same price and didn't have to wait. Used them to unload a 6' landscape rake I borrowed from a trailer. Mine are rated for 5K which is...

I posted this in attachments but figured I'd ask the LS owners if anyone is using a BB wider than the rear tracks. I have a chance to pick up a slightly used Woods HB 84 box blade. It still looks new and has all the stickers on it but I have a question. My owners manual recommends a 66" for a...

I have a chance to pick up a slightly used Woods HB 84 box blade. It still looks new and has all the stickers on it but I have a question. My owners manual recommends a 66" for a BB. Does anyone think an 84" will be too much or should I continue looking for a 66". Tractor is an LS XR3037HC...

Was going to post an ad but can't access Post New Thread normally at top of page. It works here but not there. What's up?

I've read quite a few posts on Majic brand paint available at TSC. Majority of posts relate to using Majic from quart or gallon cans, proper thinning, how it goes on using a spray gun etc. I thought I'd try a few spray cans of Majic. Normally I use Rustoleum or Ditzler automotive spray cans with...

I'm looking for a set of chains for my rear tires for snow plowing. Tire size is 43x16-20 R4's. Tirechains.com has a V-bar for about $330 with shipping. Ladder style with 3/8" cross link are about $50 less. On my previous tractor I had Road Boss ladder style with 3/8" cross links and they seemed...

I made some additions to my XR3037HC. 1. Installed an AM/FM/CD/ Bluetooth radio 2. Ran a new circuit from fuse box up through roof to other side and installed 2 rocker switches (1 for rear work light, 1 for future side alley lights) 3. Made a new light bar for the front and attached to mirror...

This morning I got about 3 hours of seat time moving snow at a vacant property I'm selling. I had not plowed there in a couple weeks so snow was about 1 1/2' deep. The LS handled the job with no problem. When I got home this afternoon I installed some light brackets I made a few days ago and...

Anyone have another source for parts manuals? I found an LS site in Canada that has some manuals available for download but their listing for my XR3037HC parts manual download is actually for a G3033 not the XR3037. I Emailed them about this discrepancy, hopefully they will correct the listing...

On Sunday I sold my 4x4 dump truck with 9' plow. On Tuesday I sold my Mahindra 2615HST. That left me with nothing to plow with. Last week they had a Farm Show at the fairgrounds on Thur. Fri. and Sat. I went on Saturday and looked at lots of tractors. The LS made quite an impression. Made lots...

Well, new to me. I just picked up a used 2004 Chevy 3500 dump truck 4x4 with a 9' western plow. The 6.0 and automatic runs well. The truck has 58,000 miles. Dump box has no rust and entire truck has been undercoated heavily. This past weekend I kept busy. On Saturday I did the usual clean up...

It says its made of forged steel. Has the name Gray on it. PH70 is on the handle. Canada on the handle. Handle extends as if used for leverage. Jaw opens as if used to pull with but only about a half inch. Jaws are about a quarter inch wide.

Here's a few pics I took at this past weekends truck show at the NYS Fairgrounds. There were quite a few but I thought these were unique. One used to be an old IH crew cab state truck. Now has a modern computerized Detroit diesel, lots of chrome and LED'S. Second is a ford P/U with a 4 cyl...

I've been looking for a cab for my 2615 for a while. Most cabs I saw online were too costly ($1500 and up). I recently did a search and found a cab that is listed to fit a 2816. Another cab company claims their cab fits a 2615, 2816, and 3015 so I looked at the picture of the 2816 tractor with...

Anyone know what kind of spider this is? It had built a web on my front porch between the porch light and the front door. From top leg to bottom leg it was about 3 plus inches. The siding behind it is 4". The main body was larger than my thumb.

After reading Dodge mans thread I thought I'd post mine as well. I had 2 lease vehicles, an 07 Chevy Impala and an 07 2500HD Ext Cab w/ Duramax. The leases expired about 4 months apart and can't right them off on taxes so I turned them in rather than do the buy out. I didn't need a 3/4T truck...

Just bought my new to me ride on Thursday. Turned in an 07 3/4T Ext. cab 8' box w/ Dmax and Allison I was leasing. Its an 08 1500 Ext cab 4x4 LT. Has the 5.3 and 4 spd. auto, limited slip w/ 3.73 in dark cherry metallic. Loaded with options to numerous to list and only 17K miles. Rated to tow...

Built my own tractor refueling station this weekend. Its a 15 gallon plastic barrel with an automotive type electric fuel pump powered by a small trailer battery. I got tired of holding a 5 gallon jug almost 5' in the air to reach the tractor tank. And since my tractor tank holds 8 gallons I'd...

Rather than hi-jack MrZuckerman's thread I decided to post my own Pole Barn Progress. This is a 16' x 32' pole barn addition added to the back of my existing garage. I was limited to the size I could build since my property elevation slopes down 50' about 10-15' behind the new barn. I couldn't...

Well, it sure feels good. Just mailed off my last payment. Own her free and clear now.

Watch where you are going and watch for traffic. I read in this mornings paper that on Tuesday an 81 year old man who lived in the county adjacent to me was killed while removing snow. He was exiting his driveway on his JD tractor w/ snow blower and pulled into the path of an SUV. Snowy and...

Since I clear snow mostly on gravel driveways and got tired of spending more time changing shear pins than blowing snow I sold my 64" Puma 3 pt snow blower. Another lucky member here got a good deal. I mainly used it for weight on back anyway so now I needed to build a rear ballast weight. I...

Finally had to bite the bullet and buy a new shop compressor. My old one was a 5HP, 60 gal, 2 stage 120# max rated compressor I bought from Northern Tool (was called Northern Hydraulic back then) over 25 years ago. It served me well with annual compressor oil changes, one belt change, and one...

I did the 200 hour service today on my 2615HST. It wasn't too bad. Drained the trans, pulled and replaced the filters and refilled. Also drained and refilled the front axle. Changed engine oil and filter. Blew out air filter and replaced fuel filter. The only problem I had was during greasing...

I Had a hard time getting the tractor started yesterday. Cycled the glow plugs several times. Checked the fuel. Checked for voltage on the glow plugs, etc. It finally started after cranking several times. Did some driveway work. Had to rake the gravel (runner crush) back in the driveway from...

If you haven't done so already, check your battery and cable connections. Today was the test here. Temp got down to about 5 deg F last night. Two things happened. First, the 36 month old 60 month battery did not have enough cold cranking amps to spin it over very fast. Tried jump starting but...

Got some new tools for garage and tractor use. 12 Ton shop press 3 pt quick hitch 500A battery load tester 1/2" Impact gun with 625 ft lb. torque Set of double sided impact sockets sizes 17mm,19mm,21mm,3/4,13/16, & 7/8 The but comes into play with the quick hitch. It fit the tractor just...

Question: Is there an automatic timer that logs you off if no response is sensed? I keep getting logged off when I am typing my response to a question. (I'm a slow 2 finger typer) By the time I've typed my response then click to submit I get a message that says I'm not logged in. So I relog in...

Picked up a second trailer today. Its an 02 gooseneck rated at 12K. Has a 20' deck plus a 4' tail. It has the EZ lube hubs, new tires, chain tray, winch mount (no winch, gotta get another one). When the weather dries up I plan to add a couple pieces of 1/4" angle on top of the neck to mount the...

Picked up my new KK rotary mower today and assembled it late this afternoon. It's the 5' model with a 40HP gearbox. TSC had them on sale. While I was in a spending mood I also got an adjustable height Tri-Ball Hitch for towing various trailers. That has Chrome welded towing balls in 1 7/8" rated...

I have had a problem getting logged off without doing it myself. Once logged in I start reading the various posts. Eventually I come to one I'd like to reply to. I click on reply and the screen says I have to logged in to reply. I had not logged off so how did I get logged off? This has happened...

I see a lot of 2015's that have a BH but haven't seen any 2615's with one. I was not impressed with the 3710. Is anyone using any other beefier BH with subframe on there 2615?

Thought I'd post this lawn decoration since hunting season hasn't been too good here yet.

I see the review section seems to be working again so I have submitted a review of my 2615HST now 16 months old with just under 100 hrs. It should post in 24-48 hrs. My thanks to all those involved in the operation / running of this informative site. George

I've tried to post a tractor review a couple times since becoming a member. Each time I go to the review page it says Internal Server Error on the page. Clicking on add review , filling in info, etc. all seem to work but after submitting I never see it come up in the review section. Am I doing...

I saw MadReferee's post on these and thought I'd build my own. First pic is the channel I picked up at my local recycling yard.

Has anyone purchased the 3710 backhoe or bought another brand for their 2615? George
