I modified my grill. Here is the video. I absolutely love it and should come factory this way.

Mine have gotten stuck a few times. And when they were stuck, they were STUCK! It took a hammer to move them. Fortunately, they did not break, but they are dented from the repeated whacks. One got stuck under something and bent it slightly. Eventually, I'll need to replace them. But keeping them...

Here is the video I watched a while ago. I one above is a complete, made to order, SSQA attachment that will replace your existing SSQA. The DIY My Way shows how to make one using your existing setup. MUCH less expensive. Just a thought.

For a replacement OEM part or similar, unfortnatly no. I don't know of any. But I was considering doing something similar to this on my tractor: Are you hitting the handles or using pipes to move them?

Talk about resurrecting an old thread! For me, my young son is now 5! And is a bit too big to ride with me in the cab. Short of making a buddy seat (Or spending several hundreds on ebay for a seat not made for my tractor) we have tried everything. A pillow wedged between the range selector and...

Do you have this switch?

Wow... I have questions. You're coming into a bale with a spear on the FEL. You push in the clutch, the tractor goes into neutral, then back into gear, while the clutch is depressed, causing the tractor to lunge forward? OR... you're coming into the bale, you slip the clutch, it disengages the...

You could bypass the switch with jumpers. See if that solves your problem. If not, then it's not your switch. They hydraulic issue is not related to this. Not sure if you were trying to solve for both? I know you stated your checked the ground, but I would look at that again. Take the ground...

Oh lets talk oil... again. First, congratulations on your tractor! I love mine! It's a 2018, well, thats when I bought it new. Contrary to what others may think, you wont harm anything by changing the engine oil twice or three times per year. The only thing that will get hurt is your bank...

Thats a really good idea! You could also add some pull type lashing straps to the angle iron in place of the zip ties. Permanently affix the buckle end to the outside of the angle iron, run the strap around the cylinder and through the buckle, pull tight. Could use something like epoxy, JB Weld...

It could be a leak inside the cylinder. Does it droop all the way down? Or is it "floppy" as in drooping a bit? If you dump the bucket all the way out and curl it back, will it stay? Have you checked the fluid level recently?

The rule of thumb for PTO driven implements is 5 PTO HP per 1ft of implement width. But its just that, a rule of thumb. Example: My PTO is 38.7 call it 39 HP. Keep in mind, that is the PTO HP, not the engine. 39 divided by 5 = 7.8. So, according the rule, I can easily run any implement that is...

It must not have been that big of an issue. Or the OP got it figured out, because he has not been active since posting this thread. Figures.

No. He has only posted about this problem. Did it twice, once here and once here: Help

Likely will never know. I have a feeling the OP will not return, and probably won't provide any additional details. Sad really.

Love the detailed post outlining the problem. 😠

What 3rd function kit do you have? Your tractor is doing the EXACT same thing mine did a few years ago. Mine is a WR Long, and after about a year, it went bad. I thought it was a valve and followed a simple tutorial to unstick the valves. Simply take a small screw driver and, with the tractor...

Yeah, like my arteries, it could be a clogged line. Just enough to allow fuel through at idle, but not enough to run the engine under a load.

Sounds like a brake is on. Could be a seat switch. I'd bypass it and see if that helps. Try moving the tractor in reverse and forwards a few times. You stated you changed your air filter? Make sure the little boot is not plugged up and pointed down. You did remove the plastic from the filter...

It would be odd that two separate fuel issues would occur at the same time and not be related. I was thinking if it was a clogged up line or port, that would cause the issue. But having the fuel gauge go wonky at the same time? Unless your fuel gauge broke inside the tank perhaps? Parts falling...

I ran into this whole GL-4 vs GL-5 thing with my manual transmission Toyota pickup doing both transmission, transfer cases, and diffs. After doing a bit of digging, GL-5 is defiantly not backwards compatible with GL-4, even it the manufacture states that it is. The reason is the additives in...

Well, not exactly. I did a video on this a while back. As the engine cranks, the battery's voltage drops causing the dash to lose power. It comes back on a second or two later. This is "normal" for stock batteries or batteries with similar CCA. Its not a huge issue, and can be lived with. But...

Yeah, thats weird. And its the first time I've heard of a spun bearing in this engine. Typically, to get a spun bearing, many things need to go wrong inside the engine. These include high operating loads, excessive heat and a loss of lubrication at the same time. Think running a tiller in hard...

Did you get a call back?

oof. I looked up a new complete LS engine, and yeah, that $15k quote is pretty spot on. I found one for $17,343.58! Thats a complete engine. And thats JUST the engine. Labor is probably not calculated into that. Keeping that in mind, labor cost of replacing a rod and piston, and figuring out...

The EGR cooler is something I completely forgot about! Thats FANTASTIC! This is why I love this forum. I would absolutely start there! A new cooler will likely run a few hundred dollars. Much better than a new head or block! If it's not under warranty. Excellent advise! Here is a link for...

Looking at my tractor, and looking at the shop manual, there is no indication that the turbo is liquid cooled or regulated by the coolant system. However, these tractors are factory equipped with finicky turbos. Check it anyway. Low coolant levels Blowing white smoke Increased crank case...

This is fantastic!! Great job! (y) Did you make it semi-quick install? If it's secured into threaded holes, might be a good idea to use thumb screws to secure it. That way when the kid isn't riding, you can easily and quickly remove it, to win back that precious space and visibility.

Do not over complicate things. Keep it on the ground for safety reasons. I typically dump mine out and set on the ground (usually in float) so water does not accumulate if parked outside. No one needs a rusty bucket. Inside, keep the cutting edge flat on the ground. What's more likely to happen...

You'd think the only difference is the hitch placement. Kinda strange its so much heavier. For me, I think the best thing is faster fan speed in heavy snow. The tractor doesn't really lug down (unless I come into a deep pile or going to fast). I typically keep my RPMs up a bit faster than 540...

I need to add my two cents here. Two cents is not worth much these days, so also take my advise with a grain of salt because thats about what two cents will buy ya. There a joke in there somewhere I'm sure. I have the MK Martin 72in INVERTED snow blower on my 45hp tractor. It works great...

Thanks for the update. At least SWMBO is onboard. Thats half the problem solved. Please keep us updated.

I also have a BlueDriver reader, and another reader for my Toyota that is standalone. Both do not work on these tractors. Only the ELM327 I have found to work. FYI.

I use the ELM327 OBD2 reader https://www.amazon.com/Launchh-Professional-Bluetooth-Interface-Diagnostic/dp/B07Z65HX5X/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=elm327+obd2&sr=8-6 I also use the Torque Pro App. I did pay for the full featured version, its like $5 or something. These readers wont do what the laptops...

I had this same problem, only it was -9f out and my fuel was gelling. I don't think Hawaii is getting that cold. This absolutely screams fuel delivery. And I think your on the right track with electrical. With your fuel gauge going wonky, might be your float. But I have not heard of the tractor...

Oh.... there's no letter I.

I thought K was November? But Nov doesnt have 31 days... The first digit is the year, first letter is the month, then the day, and the shift.

Thank you all for the awesome ideas and suggestions. I really do appreciate it. I thought it was time to update this thread on what I decided, purchased, and installed. To start, this forum was not the only place I asked advise for this. My wife was also involved. Her suggestion was to go with a...

I believe the newer MT3 models have lighter duty loaders than the XR41xx models. While looking at a new MT357 at the dealership a year (gosh, maybe more now) ago, that was one of the things that looked different from my current XR. The loader seemed smaller, thinner, weaker perhaps. Without...

To echo what others have already said: Batteries get cold, oil gets thick. The cold cranking amps will drop significantly on a cold battery. And the thick cold oil will act like sticky honey to cold pistons. Warming both will help. Change your oil before winter, and make sure you're using the...

WOW! Talk about bringing back an old thread! I like it!

This reminds me of another, smaller, peeve. Odd spelling of names. La-a (Ladasha) Dafydd (David) Jaxon (Jackson) XÆA-Xii (Elon's Child, not sure how to pronounce it) Airwrecka (Erica) Phalicia (Felicia) ... just to name a few.

Happens all the time here. The freeway that cuts through our city slows from 70mph to 60. No one does 60, most do 80. Its 3 lanes in each direction, and for the most part, flows quite well... that is until a Trooper parks on the side and starts using his laser. Traffic slows to below 60 and...

People who slow down way too much to make a turn off the road. Last evenings commute home, a white Prius cuts me off and slows way down, no brakes, just slows... to about 10 in a 35 with heavy traffic. Then decided to turn off the road, no signal. He was sneaking up on the intersection?

Military/Veteran: People who thank me for my service. x100 more if it is on Memorial Day. Asking me specifics about my service, especially asking if I have been deployed or have killed someone. Asking for war stories, or issues from service. I hate saying no, I don’t like to be rude. I seldom...

I somehow missed this thread for months. I just found it. I read almost every post. One of my pet peeves is overly long posts. However, another pet peeve is several short posts in a row by the same author. Torn between two pet peeves, I decided to make one long post. I do apologize. I also know...

After checking all safety switches, I'd still take that chassis ground off completely. Take it off, clean it very well, and put it back on. This is probably the most common electrical problem complained about on this forum regarding LS tractors. A similar problem with my friends small Mahindra...

This happens to me all the stinking time! I believe the phrase is "hindsight is 20/20" Here is an example of what just happened with me regarding Christmas lights. We never really did Christmas decorations on the old house. Being up in the woods, there was no one around to look at them, why put...

I know right!? So many people have a couch, coffee tables, big screens in their shops... er, man caves. I guess it makes sense if you're a big sports fan, have a few rowdy friends over to watch the game, and your wife kicks you out of the house. But a couch in a shop? My neighbor had a couch and...

Some very good ideas listed here. Thank you! I will see what black friday brings. Maybe I can find a better deal if I wait just a few days. This was just a dumb idea that crossed my brain housing group while out in the shop the other day, and noticed it was so quiet. Something as simple as a...

Plenty enough tractor. Asphalt driveways are not typically thick, even if paved over a few times, nothing like concrete anyway. You will probably want some teeth on the cutting edge of your bucket, or something like pallet forks or the like, to assist with prying it up. Good luck and take...

Typically radio, as the sound would typically be on if I'm in the shop or not. Honestly, I'd like the option to do both. I considered going a smart speaker route, something my phone can connect to to steam music to, but then it would cut out when I leave the shop, with my phone in my pocket...

Every shop needs music. Listening to music, a talk show, or podcast is very welcome. Go into any department store, elevator, or rural shop and you hear music, unless that shop is mine. As many of you undoubtedly know, I recently moved. Our new home boasts a large shop! I've done some projects...

Check this thread https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/diagnostic-port-and-diagnosis.461868/

Pretty sure thats not a diagnostic port. I think with those Shibaura engine models, the port is a 6 pin round plug. But I'm not certain. I do know that the plug you have pictured is not the one you want.

Blue smoke is typically oil. Probably getting around the piston rings before they warm up, making a better seal. As far as the speed falling off that screams fuel delivery. Something is clogged. You just changed the filter, but would recommend the filter and a tank clean. I'm guessing there are...

Thats that older Shibarua engine. One reason LS went away from Shibarua and started making their own was for this reason. The newer 31xx series has the LS made engine with regen times about every 50hrs. However, that does not help you. That engine should be regenerating every 5 hours or so, or...

I didn't realize these tractors didn't come with a factory horn. Mine has one. :unsure: The only time I really use it is to get the dogs attention. Nice write up!

You could heat it up and bend it back flat (if you have the ability, and it doesn't interfere with the hood). Paint it blue again, and see if your aftermarket guard fits. It looks symmetrical, and your right, there really is no sign of it being non-factory, but I'm not sure it is. It doesn't...

That does look factory. But I can tell you that mine is flush up against the frame.

Welcome to TBN! You can change the info on the left by going to your profile. Simply click on your name anywhere you see it. As far as the hood goes, try some spay lube on the lock. I find that a quick spray of lithium grease helps with these latches. Photos of the mods for sure!

That seat switch was always a pain for me. I'd lift my butt up to see the bucket a bit better as I come into a pile or with the pallet forks or something, and the tractor would die. I'd hit a bump while out mowing, and the tractor would die (until the seat fell back down). So many issues with...

When you say "significant leaks" what is that exactly? The reason I ask, I had what I thought was a significant oil leak and wanted it repaired under warranty BEFORE the warranty expired. I spoke with my dealer, and his first question was "what is significant?" To him, a leak that is flowing a...

I think my voice activated device is broken! I say those things and it talks back "What's this 'throttle?' you speak of?" or "Get your own damn beer and bring me a glass of wine!" :confused:

Honestly, its not that bad. It sounds bad, but in reality, its not. My backhoe operates just fine at 1500rpm where the throttle stays. The hydraulics are always on in the detent when the BH is hooked up. I have bad knees, and climbing around on tractors and backhoes is not much fun at all...

If dealer support is important to you, then I'd shop dealers, not just tractors. What do I mean? I don't think LS Tractors are going away anytime soon. LG is LS, or rather thats how it started. But most dealerships are typically small 'mom and pop shops' that sell all makes and models. My local...

You can easily bypass the seat switch and see if that helps. Jump on the seat a few times to see if it happens again with the switch bypassed. If it blows the fuse, you know its the switch. Also, if you need a service manual, shoot me a PM with your email address. I send one to you.

I didn't get many photos or videos, but I did end up digging about 250ft of shallow trench for a low volt wire to my gate. I considered putting the 12in bucket on instead of using my 24in bucket, but after hooking up to the backhoe, I decided not to fight the pins and get digging. The digging...

I love it when people come here, post a "this doesn't work" one line sentence without any context or punctuation. I'm always willing to help, but help me help you. We need more info. What have you done to troubleshoot this on your own? Both wipers? or just one? Is there something holding the...

There are a few safety switches to check too. The shuttle shift switch, the clutch switch, and the seat switch.

Mine is a screw in. I'd assume yours is too. But I am not familiar with your model.

I've used it twice now. Once in the video, and another time on a zerk on the FEL. The one of the FEL, the tool worked really well. But the one in the video, not so well. I agree about using quality grease. And the grease I use is good quality moly. But things happen, dirt especially.

I had a similar problem on my backhoe. It seemed like grease wasnt going in, and grease wasn't coming out of the joint. Mine was on the main boom pin. I ended up removing the pin, cleaning everything, and realizing that the tolerances are so tight, that grease was getting in there, but barely...

How bad is the leak? Can you post of few pictures of the area and the leak? Is it coming from the steering valve? The block with 4 lines coming from it on the engine side? If the leak is coming from the steering valve, follow the service manual to remove it from the tractor. Contact your...

ooooOOOOOooooooo....... :eek: I might be heading to Home Depot this weekend! Thanks for the tip!

Sometimes having a smaller tractor around is a blessing. I need to dig a small shallow trench ~250 to bury some low volt wire. My tractor and backhoe is a bit big, and due to its size, wont fit in a portion of the area needed. I get to hand dig. Nice duo!

The turbo is just for emissions, it doesn't really help with power. Is your tractor lugging down when you're blowing? If so, gear down. These tractors will do just about anything you ask of them, including pushing and blowing heavy snow. The trade off is doing how fast you're doing it. The...

In addition to what Peter mentioned, check to make sure the coolant is flowing. A bad water pump or a simple air bubble can cause overheating too. Crank up your engine, and with the radiator cap off, see if you can see the coolant flowing. You will have to wait until it's at operating temps...

I use the existing brackets. It's not a 'bar' but a single strobe. You can have two, one on each side. The plug should be there, its not a regular 12v plug. Its called a 'Hella Plug" here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MDKKMZ3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1...

I know this sounds weird... but it could be your fan belt slipping. Make sure its tight. Beyond that, I got nothing. I doesn't sound like an exhaust leak. Injector pump wouldn't make that sound... if it were a gas engine, I'd suggest a loose spark plug. But being a diesel if your injector was...

A hiss? :unsure: Check your air cleaner? This one is a bit odd. I'd like to see this one to diagnose further. Can you post a video with sound?

Welcome to TBN... officially! Sounds like the issue is fixed? It sucks having no support when your local dealership, the one who knows you, goes out of business. Happens with other types of business too. I'm forced to buy brewing supplies and ingredients from online now that my local brewery...

For me, its not just the bandwidth. Its latency too. Starlink is better than other satellite ISPs only because they are closer to Earth. Bandwidth is important too, and that will depend on needs and uses. I occasionally remote into work, sometimes while the kids are streaming or playing games. I...

I've had Starlink for a long while now. Loved it! Made my old satellite internet look like dialup... wait, that exactly what I was getting after a few weeks. The latency is not the greatest, but again, better than anything else I could get at my location... at my former location. I recently...

I hate to laugh and snicker, but I knew this thread was coming. :ROFLMAO: Those terrible 4in speakers suck very bad. One of mine was actually blown! I got a pair of 5in speakers from a yard sale and slapped them in my cab. Some quick trimming with a Dremel tool is required. Here is a set I'd...

My advise: Get 2. Get a small bucket for trenching and root ripping. Get the big bucket for digging. And get the thumb. Always get the thumb. I have a Woods BH that I bought used and came with a 24in bucket. Love it for moving dirt. Digging a hole is quick and easy. However, digging stumps was...

Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference. Nicely done!

I searched my Amazon order history and found the radio I installed in my cab. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07584CVLR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I don't remember spending $100 on it! I pretty certain it has gone up in price a bunch since April of 2018. However...

Bumping an old thread I see. Right on! I was impressed with this concept. Its a good way to recycle.

That's kinda where I was heading. Not having this issue myself, still have the factory tie rods since 2018 makes me think there is something going on with the tractor itself: something is out of alignment or damaged causing the tie rods to fail. OR lack of lubrication... OR it could be a bad...

I need some help, some advise on what to do about this gap. I recently purchased a new home and moved. The new home has a HUGE shop. It's large partially because at one point, the lean to was walled in and insulated. However, I noticed this gap along the back wall of the lean to. You can see...

If you don't have a New Holland dealership near you, you can order parts from dealers like Messicks, that will ship the parts to your door. While Eagle1's advice is solid, there is a caveat, LS makes some tractors for New Holland (and NH carries those parts), but not all LS tractors are NH...

Somethings on these tractors are "fly-by-wire" and some systems are mechanical. Check the physical linkages first, then check for fuses... or vise versa.

Honestly, you're in the right place for that kind of thing, especially tractor specific. The folks here are a huge wealth of knowledge and most are eager to help. However, if you're looking for videos specifically, obviously check out mine (but I don't really do "how-to" videos), check out...

That doesn't look factory. I'm assuming you didn't purchase this tractor new? Can you follow the wire and see where it goes?

First thing you need to do is clean the area, especially your radiators. Those fins look plugged. Cleaning the area will help you (and us) identify things a bit better. Your ECU is mounted on top of your battery. No worries. The bolt you circled, and the one on the other side, looks like it...

Your tractor is very similar to mine. Check out this video I made when I replaced my battery. Hope it helps

The equivalent New Holland tractor to the LS MT352 would be the Boomer 45-55. As far as the weights go, if you need more weight on the rear, try beat juice in the tire. If you already have that, and for some reason you need more, take a look at Everything Attachments. They have a selection of...

I suspect it's a linkage issue as others have stated. The clutch will burn up, especially if engaging the pedal at high RPM, that's really rough on the clutch (this is why we have a gas pedal) But even then, it will be noticeable over time, the clutch will slip more and more, and you will likely...

Some front axles have a check port on the side and a fill port on the top, like a regular gear box. Pull the check port, if fluid is at the bottom of the threads when parked on a level surface, then you're good.

I snapped the upper control arm part when my tire chains got bound up in the loader brackets. The parts were covered under warranty, but I did the repair myself to save time. Interesting that it simply snapped though. Must have just been fatigue or something. Least it's not horribly expensive...

My tractor is similar, probably the same as far as the AC system goes. I have a shop manual on PDF. PM me your email and I'll share it with you.

Could be the switch. But before you go replacing the switch, check your chassis ground. These tractors (and many like them) are plagued with ground issues. Either the connection gets loose, corroded, or broken. Take it completely off, clean the connections really well, inspect it all, and...

This is the one I got: https://www.agristoreusa.com/collections/category-1-hydraulic-top-links/products/category-1-hydraulic-top-link-18-1-8-26-3-8 It's cat 1 only, but the majority of my implements are cat 1. If my implements are cat 2, I use bushings, and they are cat 1. The measurements are...

These hearing aids changed my life! Not only can I hear people, and other sounds, but they have so many other wonderful features. I have the Roger Device for crowded rooms with my hearing aids. Its a little puck that sits on the table with directional microphones that my hearing aids connect...

That is the same engine as the XR41 (LS L3C19-T). The Wix WL7426 is a tad longer than stock, but works just fine.

Deciding on what jack to use, honestly, I don't think about. I walk over to where we keep the jacks and grab one. Wheel it over and start jacking. If it wont lift, I realize the object I am lifting is too heavy for that jack, and I go grab another one. I admit, that is probably not the best...

Well, there's a big difference between a Kubota M9000 and an LS MT357HC. Your tractor is a 92HP tractor with large rear tires. That kubota weighs in at 6750lbs according to tractordata. The LS MT357HC is litterly half the tractor. It is a 57HP tractor with smaller rear tires weighing in at...

When I was installing my subframe mount, I took both tires off for better access. I didn't use the jack stands on the axle as I needed to work on those specifically. So I used the floor jack on the drawbar and placed the stands under the transaxle housing. It was stable. For other times, I...

I twisted the crap outta mine, believing it was threaded on. But when it didn't come off, I jerked it up a few times and it finally popped off. It was glued or pressed really hard into the plastic. You can see the shaft in one of my videos at the 14:41 mark. No threading. and this one at 18:16...

That's right! We actually sold our home that had a small yard on the side of a hill, and bought a new home with a very large, 1 acre yard that is all flat. Well, mostly flat. It has a slight hillside along a fence. The yard boasts mature deciduous trees of various verities, so leaf collection...

That's what I was going to suggest, what @ptsg said. But also, they will only bend like that if you're backing up and put a significant load on the mower. I have the exact same mower. It's impossible to mow a field with any obstacles without backing up while mowing. My problem is either backing...

I looked at doing this on my tractor after owning it for a few years. I asked my dealer over the phone how much the kit would cost, he said "It's a few thousand" That pretty much ended my research right there. Now, I don't know if he was blowing smoke, but maybe he was accurate. Looking at the...

I'm guessing you're actively working with your dealer? He is keeping you updated on progress or lack thereof? Is it a parts availability issue or something else? Have you paid them anything for any work already done? Have they claimed it's fixed, only to discover that it's not? I don't have...

I've been wearing hearing aids for a while now. But just got prescribed glasses... isn't getting old fun?! My hearing aids are the behind/over the ear ones. I love them! Very comfortable. However, with my new glasses, they don't work for me as well. I had to get the straight leg glasses that...

Thats awesome! Did you purchase that tank new? It looks new. If you don't mind, what what the price tag?

Since you have a cab tractor, there is also a fuse bank on the left pillar of the cab. FYI.

Ahh... Tacoma diffs... I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. :cautious: Not exactly fun. Amazon sells spare plugs for a few dollars, fyi. As far as the ass backwards on the plugs, for me, my manual specifies to check the front axle oil every 50 hours. So this is not necessary...

Thats an excellent idea! I grew up in the heart of potato country. We used potato ridgers, which essentially did the same thing. A local U-Pick farm has their rows set up the exact same way, only they drape plastic over the mounds. Not sure exactly how they accomplish that on such a large scale...

The Wix WL7426 also fits my tractor, but it is a bit longer than the stock LS. Not a problem for my tractor as it doesn't hit anything. YMMV. Rock Auto currently sells them for $7.55. They are selling that fuel filter for $8.12

Not arguing with you or the information you posted. Just highlighting some things. Everyone is entitled to run whatever they feel is correct in their own machines. The Tractor Police will not come and arrest you for using GL-5 in your front axle, but... From the mroilguy link you provided...

As soon as it says GL-5 on the bottle, put it back! Like the OP stated, GL-5 is not backwards compatible. If the specification is for GL-4 only, then use GL-4 only. Even if the bottle states it can be used in axles where an API GL-4 lubricant is recommended. I get this info from doing my...

One of the downsides of these family owned dealerships. If they decide to close their doors for whatever reason, customers are left hanging in the wind. Fortunately, some New Holland tractors are the same as LS, and we can find most parts at a local NH dealer. Otherwise, we may be forced to...

You can go the bearing number route, or after removing the bearings, measure them using calipers. Alternatively, you could take them into a bearing supplier and they can match them. As far as "drop-in," no. The bearing on the king pin will be pressed on. The races in the "king pin housing"...

Thanks @ptsg for mentioning my video. When I saw this thread, I knew exactly what happened and how to fix. Then I saw the photos and started wondering why the entire assembly was removed. So yeah, simple enough fix. As stated in my video, I was wearing chains and I believe they got bound up in...

If you don't care what it looks like, and are not concerned about snow load (summer months) then make a simple frame using 2x4 and a tarp from Harbor freight. Make it wide enough and tall enough to fit your tractor. A bit more expensive, but under $500 and easier than all these, is a popup...

Now that spring has finally arrived... kind of (we went from winter directly into summer here), I did the 'spring maintenance' on my tractor. Started with taking the snow chains off. We havent had snow on the ground for a few weeks, and the mud is mostly dry. Got the kid (he is 3) on the...

You need to prop the roof up, as George said above. You gain access to everything above the headliner from up there. If you're going bigger speakers (recommended), you'll need to trim some plastic using a Dremel or something. Its easier to do that from above. You will need a ladder.

No flex that I notice. Thats actually the primary reason I welded that receiver on there, was for moving trailers around. Makes it MUCH easier. My boat is probably the heaviest. But my utility trailer, even loaded, no problems at all. I do use an extension too. Puts more stress and strain on...

Thats one of the first things I did to my tractor after it was dropped off. I used a couple of 3/4" flat stock, welded the hooks to those, then welded the stock to the bucket, just in front of the lift arms. Here is a screen shot taken from a video I made about them Here is a link to the...

Thats how most projects for me start "I did not know what I had gotten into till I started." :confused: What I believe to be a simple task will take much longer, with more effort than expected, more money, more cursing, more hassle, and more regret... until its done. Then the regret goes away...

I think I remember those days :unsure: I bypassed a few safety switches, including the seat switch. I don't remember a parking brake switch, but mine is the gear model, so might be different? I can reach into the cab, without being in the cab, and turn on the PTO. Sounds kinda scary, but I make...

You're looking for part number 40265625. That tractor has two engines listed, the L3C19 Tier 4 and the L3CTRV Stage V engine. But the sensor is the same. The sensor is located on the end of the fuel rail. Should be simple enough to swap it out. Check your local dealer OR online resources like...

I thought I did a video on the actual install of the WR Long kit!! I couldn't find it for some reason before. I blame my wife! :sneaky:

I added the WR Long 3rd function kit. I got it from Everything Attachments when I ordered my grapple from them. Its a kit that is easy enough to install. Several videos online on how to to do it. The hardest part is replacing the hard hydraulic line and putting the valve in its place. It...

Typically I do the same. But this pile was so old it was mostly mud from the decomp. I had to sift through the pile, picking out the wood to put on the fire. Its not easy burning in the snow. I'm glad I'm finally done!

It is an EA. I did a video when I received it. My tractor is always in the mud this time of year. :(

Over the weekend I decided to burn the last of 5 slash piles left behind by the loggers when they logged my property back in the winter of 2018/19. This pile was the largest as it was formed when they loaded the trucks. The loggers brought the trees to this location, where they were limbed and...

A very common issue with these tractors is the ground connection from the battery to the chasis. Take it off, clean both the frame and and the cable, and reinstall. Make sure its tight to metal. I had the same problem about the this same time last year. Racked my brain trying to figure it out...

I'd look at New Holland. Use the LS parts site that Eagle1 listed, add the MT before the numbers. Take that to your local NH dealer. Or order it from online parts stores like Messicks. You'll probably pay a bit more, but they will ship it to your door, and wont have to wait for the drop...

My tractor had (has) a seat safety switch. I bypassed it due to the reasons the OP stated. Sometimes, you need to lift your butt up to get a better view over the hood. I didn't bother with switches or anything unnecessary. But here is what I did: I had a bunch of left over H11 plugs after...

After owning my tractor for a few months, the screws that hold the latch to the underside of the hood had rattled loose. The majority of the latch mechanism was no longer connected to the hood! I only found this because I needed to pop the hood... sorry, bonnet, and it wouldn't open. With...

Your daughter is spot on! I'd be using the Tikka too. :giggle: But, I'd take your AR out today, before trusting it during the hunt, and pop a few rounds. See how it cycles (or doesn't cycle).

It sounds like either the rim of the cartridge case is done, or your extractor is done. Get a cleaning rod and pop the the cartridge case out of the camber from the muzzle end, if you havent done so already. Take a good look at your extractor, and the extractor spring. Make sure there is not...

Exactly what @sea2summit said, minus the 22. Please do not carry a 22lr pistol for self-defense. I carry a few different pistols, depending on what I'm doing. If its going to work at the office, its my small G43. Working outside, its my Shield (I really don't care for it much and don't care if...

My well is 360ft deep. When you look down it, it looks like a rifle bore. Smooth granite all the way down. When the well was drilled, they hit water at 260 but kept going to make a reservoir. The well produced 5 gallons per minute. When we bought the home we had the well tested. The water was...

Nope! I am not concerned about removing plating from the inside radius of the recessed pin do to corrosion. It would take a LOT of corrosion to make the pin head unusable. And if you're really worried about it, paint it. With our seasons, we have rust too. I'm not near the coast, so I don't...

I have the long reach lock-n-lube on my grease gun. It works well enough, better than the end that came with it. However, like the OP stated, the fit into the recessed pins can be very tight. Fortunatly, only the 4 pins on the very end of my loader were tight. I could barely squeak the...

You're going to need to relieve the compression on all the cylinders. In a gas engine, this is done by removing the spark plug. On these diesel engines, removing the injectors or glow plugs (depending on whether your injectors are before the intake valve or directly into the cylinder) will work...

Made in China? 😜

Your prerogative.

Due to the limitations of this forum, I found that I cannot post videos here unless they are uploaded to some social media platform first, like Youtube or Tiktok. Not really wanting to get a potential strike against my youtube account (again) I decided to make a video specfically for this...

I have this one: It hold a LOT of fluid. When doing large items, or lots of small items, its very nice to have the capacity. But thats a LOT of cleaner! The grease and oils that come off of some parts can be a pain to clean out too. For doing jewelry, I really dont want grease in there. I...

Yep. My bad. When I started looking up parts, for some reason my brain switched "glowplug" to "injector" 🤦‍♂️ Try this, and actual glow plug this time. New Holland/Case: PLUG, Part # MT40007624

Do you have 27 seconds to watch this video? This video shows what coyotes can and will do. Just because this is suburban hell, does not mean that they are not aggressive towards your livestock, pets, or children. They are scavengers, but if there is nothing to scavenge, they will, and do...

I've never seen coyotes pulling calves or chewing on cows, but I have heard about it. True or not, they are a nuisance. Maybe folks from Texas have never seen aggressive coyotes because it seldom freezes there, there is plenty of food for the coyotes to risk going after a mother cow giving...

How do you get that job?! I mean, I certainly don't ever want to be a Fed, but this sounds extremely fun! I participate in a coyote hunting competition every year, typically in February. The area we all cover is south of I-90 from the WA/ID border to 395 down to the snake. I've been through...

Its not necessarily distracting, or even unwelcome. Its rather obvious TBN has sponsors and sells ad space to keep the lights on. It was simply something I noticed that no other forum has. I'd like to see more of it actually.

Same part number from new holland at Messicks, shows in stock. https://www.messicks.com/part/mt40007662/nozzle

Congrats on the new (to you) tractor! Looks awesome! Nice find!!

Must have paid TBN something for some advertising. 🤔 I dont see any banners or margin ads on the other forums.

I bought 4 THOUSAND pieces of LC once fired from auction several months ago. Problem is the primer pocket needs swaging. Using my Hornady LnL with a 3D printed case feeder, I got the primer pocket swage tool set up and started running the brass through it. The case feeder makes life so much...

I never thought about a lining, but when you said that it made me think of the several 5 gallon plastic cans I have. Gas and diesel, never an issue. But then they probably dont have a liner. But come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a liner in a blue drum either? 🤔 Either way...

I don't care where Trijicon is made, assembled, headquartered, or who they sell too. They make quality optics that I relied on when I served. The only problem I have with them, is their price. I simply cannot afford the name (Just don't look too close at my Nightforce (Orofino, ID) on my...

It's still an awesome photo! Looks like it belongs on a calendar or something. :sneaky:

That old iron will still out live us all if properly maintained. However, there are better and stronger machines out there. You won't get much if you try to sell that old 8n, and you'll likely pay too much for a good new/used tractor, but having horse power, weight, 12 volts, and other creature...

Ya beat me to it @Cycledude 😁 That looks awesome with those lights! A few walls and a door (y)

I put 16" blades on mine. They are a bit bigger than stock, but that means they cover more of the windshield. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015JTJM0U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I love the idea of the heated blades! I might look into those. Nothing like your blades...

I like the idea! I use a bench top grinder, the Oregon 620, and because of that, I never sharpen using files on the bar out in the woods anymore. My dull chains go into an old metal coffee can, the sharp ones goes onto a nail hanging near the grinder. My property is small enough that when I...

It's nice that you are considerate of your wife and her hobbies. I told my wife that my shop is my escape from the house. She is welcome in there, but it is my space, which means she does not get to dictate to me where things go, how messy it is, store her stuff in there, etc. So, she got her...

Cannot wait to see it finished!

Welcome to the conversation! 👍

I've never heard of people having issues, well, people in person anyway. The internet is full of people's experiences weather they are true and accurate or not. 🤫 On a different thread I talked about getting my childhood tractor back. Its a late 60's early 70's IH 656. Growing up on the farm...

Update: I took those mystery 6mm cartridge cases and attempted to resize them to 308, but I couldnt move the shoulder back. The press would cam over before moving the shoulder all the way. So I annealed them. I used a once fired 308 unsized cartridge case to zero my calipers. I ran the 6mm...

Here is some satellite views showing the evolution of my driveway for the last few years. This is what it looked like when we bought the property. Then I widened the road Cut down the trees and started making a path. Then we graveled the entire thing after grading and putting down 3in...

When we bought our property, the front 'yard' was a hillside covered in grass and mature pine trees. One narrow driveway that lead straight into my garage. The road would go straight up the hill, turn 90 degrees at the contour line to my garage about 200 feet away. We would nose into our garage...

That is AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing!

Messicks has them. https://www.messicks.com/part/mt40416089/filter-element

Last night I decided to go through my tote of brass and sort things out. I have a large tote filled with all sorts of brass, mostly in bags already separated out by caliber. I had a rule at one point that nothing goes in there without first being deprimed and tumbled. That rule has been...

I can't speak to having experience with getting a driver. But I can speak to the 3rd function kit. I have the WR Long, and have mostly positive things to say. If I had to rate it, 3.5 stars out of 5. I've had to replace the control board, and I'm not a fan of the switch, which also got replaced...

Any kind of tilling you do will bring up rocks. In the Columbia Basin, where I grew up, people would ask us what crops we grew. Our answer was almost always 'rocks.' Kidding aside, I looked at doing the exact same project on 10 acres with a 45hp tractor. Neighbors land was rough, and he wanted...

The SMV sign was the first thing to come off my tractor when it arrived. I took the entire bracket off. Looking back, probably not the brightest idea I've had. It is the law that the SMV be visible (along with a slew of other lights) while driving on the highway. Honestly, I didn't look up any...

I doubt it was the glow plugs. It does sound like a cold start, but also sounds like too much fuel. You might have had a leaky injector that slowly dripped fuel into the combustion chamber over the weeks. Once you tried to start it, it had to burn that fuel, and the fuel being sprayed by the...

I don't know about that brand. But Summit makes really good kits. https://summit-hydraulics.com/product/hydraulic-multiplier-selector-diverter-solenoid-valve-w-switch-ag-coupler-kit/ I've been considering a few multipliers for my needs. I have two remotes, but having a third would be awesome...

cant be tight if its liquid! ;)🤘

Oh man! You just brought back some memories. I used to run Slackware with XFCE window manager. Its been a while. I loved linux, but fell away from it when I left my IT job.

I love gaming on my PC. I have a very old Alienware PC that I have kept up-to-date...ish. Good graphics and memory, SSD, etc. Its was the fastest top shelf PC of 2013! I'd love to play War Thunder, I've seen videos. But with my internet connection... not so sure. However, since getting...

While I agree completely, I'm not too concerned about the penetration of her shotgun. The reason being is my children's rooms are not in the path of our bedroom entryway. In fact, they are on the complete other side. I'd be more concerned about the penetration of my 556 that I have while...

I'm definitely interested! I love refurbishing, renewing, reworking, fabricating, sharing of ideas! I'd put some tires on it with a hydraulic lift and a drawbar! But you do you! Love the idea of putting a hole like that in the shop floor for various tools. Kinda like a hardy hole in an anvil...

Could be your chains. My chains are VERY tight, but at higher speeds I hear (and feel) a loud bang. It happens more at higher speeds, the faster I go, the more it bangs and the louder it gets. The only problem I have is finding out what part of the chain is hitting, and hitting where? I've...

Typically, I'd be hesitant to contact any government agency with help or advice on anything, especially related to my land. "We're from the government, and we're here to help." However, in my dealings with the USDA and Forest Service specifically, I'd consider it. They seem to want to help and...

Same! I bought my wife a 20ga pump years ago. It's got a full tube of #4 with an empty but open chamber. It sits on her side of the bed, underneath. She knows that if something goes bump, and I get up, to grab the 20ga and slide the action forward to chamber a round. Grab her cell phone with 911...

My insurance agent suggested that we keep a running list of our higher priced items in the house, with serial numbers, makes, models, etc. I took her advice, but instead simply take a cell phone video. Every once in a while I'll remember to grab my phone and walk though the house filming...

Gophers really do suck! I have had to do extensive research in order to eradicate them from my property, which is still on going. The problem is they burrow deep. Their tunnels are only 6-12" deep, but their nests and food storage chambers are typically 6 feet deep!! Good luck getting to those...

I just saw this thread, sorry for the late response. I added these euro style hooks and balls almost 2 years ago now. They are AMAZING!! I didn't go through Brian, but did speak with him about the project. In the end, I went with Agristoreusa. I did a video about it. Makes hooking and unhooking...

I am so sorry for your loss. When I was about 9 years old, we lost our shop, an out building (called the pump house), a hay stack, and the hay shed. I was woken up by my grandfather (who I lived with on the farm) in the wee hours of the morning. He said the hay stack is on fire. We grew...

I've had to deal with water contamination a few times. There are ways to 'dry' the oil, but since you're in need of service anyway, a simple drain and replace is all that is needed. Drain the oil, replace the filter (these filters wont filter water). Maybe dump a few qts of oil into the trans...

oooOOOOOoooooo!!!! I'd consider putting some hydraulics on that blade! Nice find!! 👍
