I have a 2013 LS R4041H that has been trouble free and I am very satisfied with it's performance so far. I have worked it pretty hard digging stumps, breaking concrete, hauling logs, etc. On April 16 with 602 hours on the tractor, the left front wheel bearing disintegrated and damaged several...

I want to weld some bracing and/ or gussets on the dog ears on my loader curl linkage (I've seen several bent badly!) 1st idea: I was thinking of welding a straight piece of 3/4" x 3/4" solid bar across the bend in the steel from pin to pin. 2nd idea: Bending some 3/8" thick x 3/4" flat bar to...

I have a 200 amp main panel at my house and want to feed a 100 amp panel in the garage. The feeder cable will be buried about 20'. I know the sub-panel ground and neutral bars must be isolated. I plan on putting a 100 amp breaker in the main panel to feed the sub panel. I have several...

I have a 2013 R4041 and the headlights quit working, everything looks good under the hood. Could somebody tell me where the fuse and or breaker is located? The manual is absolutely no help! Thanks

I have a 2013 R4041 H. The bolt with 2 nuts broke on my top link bracket, it appears it is welded on the back side only. I was carrying my 1800# ballast box (my 3-point is rated for about 2700#). I just hit a bump and it broke. Question 1: the tractor is 22 months old and has 216 hrs on it...

My O/A torch has a steady pop...pop...pop with the preheat flame and from what I have read here and at WW the cutting tip is not seated properly and is leaking oxy. I have cleaned everything including 2 different tips and still pops. My torch is 15 yrs old and used very little. It is a...

Been hauling logs from down the street 1/4 mile back to the house for 3 days now. Probably have another full day or more to go (getting a little sick of it). The LS is performing very well, some of these logs are really heavy!!!! I don't know how much I'm lifting but I would guess it is near...

I stopped by my local scrap yard and found this piece of 1/2" plate with a beveled edge on it and thought it would make a good spade/shovel attachment. They also had some nice 1/2" x 5.5" plate and some 5" channel. I have been wanting to build something like this to slip on my forks to pop out...

I'm sure someone has done this before, but I wanted some marks on my pallet forks to make centering my hook-up easier. I bought some JD yellow and brushed 3 coats on it. I left about an 1/8" gap on both sides, should make attachment much easier.

T My first weld/fab job (58 yrs old). Bought my first Tractor a little over a year ago and my first welder (Pa-300....Thanks SA!) about 6 mos ago. I have the Titan 48" Forks and the 36" Thumb. I used 2"x3" x 1/4" angle, 1/4"x2" flat bar, and some 3/8"x2" flat bar from the scap yard (.40 #)...

I routed hydraulic lines from the rear remotes to the front of loader over the top of the differential and up the left side of tractor. I had two 130" and two 48" L x 3/8" Hyd lines made and it fit perfect! There is a lot more room on the left side. I found 15' of hose protector sleeve at TSC...

I am looking at the bearcat sc5540 chipper tonight. Quick thoughts, is a good used one worth $900. Don't have much time to decide, help please??? Thanks

I think I have narrowed my search for a 14" cold cut saw to either the Dewalt Dw872 or the Milwaukee 6190-20. I would value anyone's experience or opinions on either machine. I wouldn't be a real heavy user, just tractor stuff. I can get either one for a decent price. Also, does anyone have...

Just having a beer and reading TBN on the iPad, and I got to thinking about how many LS owners from Michigan we have here? This would include current and former owners (TSO)! :laughing: Chime in, let's get a count.

I haven't arc welded in 30+ years but I bought a tractor last year and everyone knows you have to have a welder also. :). I had narrowed my search to the PA200 but got a great deal on the PA300, so I'm looking for a little help in getting back in to the "sport". I plan on practicing a lot...

Today i learned another lesson. I was checking the air in my loaded tires, I had the valve stems at the top, I checked the first side and everything went according to plan. I then went to the other side and started unscrewing the valve stem cap and I was not paying attention and the valve stem...

If you want to open your Hood without tilting the Brushguard forward, loosen the 4 bolts ( don't remove ) that hold it on, ( the nuts are welded to the frame ) Then take 1 out at a time & insert 3 nice thick washers between the guard and frame and tighten. The existing bolts are plenty long...

I really liked the way Private Party Adds used to be . I don't like the way it is set-up now. I like to quickly scan the adds to see if anything interests me, can't do that now I have to click on somebody's name to find out what they are selling. I wish we could go back to the way it was...

Edit: I am reposting this, I think I kinda Hi-jacked another thread. :ashamed::ashamed: I am in the middle of building one with a 3pt bale spear ( Titan - $169. Rated 3000# ) The spears will slide into PVC pipe so the spears can be pulled out if need be. I will be cutting the center spear off...

I had survived for 28 yrs of taking care of my 15 acres with just a 1986 Yamaha quad runner, a 4' x 8' trailer, Log splitter, and a Cub Cadet lawnmower. I started researching used tractors in Oct 2013 on TBN. In the 5 months since I've bought a new tractor (I couldn't find a good used one) and...

Decided to build a carry-all / lift platform with treated lumber. It is 5' x 4' with 3 removable sides, should be approx. 650# when done (should get lighter when wood dries). Copied some ideas from members here on TBN. I will post more when it's done. No safety police please, I know what I...

Is there any harm to the glow plugs or the engine if I cycle the glow plugs 2 or 3 times before I start the engine when it is cold. I have been cycling them twice in this cold weather (15-20 degrees) and I think it really helps. The engine starts easily with not much smoke or knocking. I have...

I need some advice on the LS loader bucket. How sturdy are these buckets and should I consider installing a cutting edge? Does LS sell one, are they bolt-on or welded on, and who else sells them? I have only 6.5 hours on it so far and I dig a lot of small stumps with it and am worried about...
