    Log Splitter Caddy

    I saw this great little idea when looking for something else on YouTube and said, "Hey, what a great way to get rid of a wire basket I have laying around." Besides getting rid of some of my treasures from my metals pile, the wire basket is great because there are no wood chips to contend with...

    LS G3038H - Cleaning Rad Screen?

    I run a program where our neighbors can bring their wildfire defensible space trimmings to a central site where we unload them and pile the debris - limbs, small logs, leaves and pine needles - for later disposal. I use my G3038h with forks and a hand built debris forks attachment to handle the...

    Working Solo - Handling 24' Horizontal Tin Siding

    About two years ago, I had two slabs poured for two 20 x 24 metal shops with 9-foot walls. I ordered the metal and got going on the shops this summer, got one frame up by myself and my brother-in-law came over and helped me get one and 2/3 of the 24' side walls up before he decided that was way...

    G3038 HST Pedal Return Is Sticky

    The pedals do not return crisply to neutral when I release either one as they always used to. This came on pretty suddenly, not gradually. It is more pronounced when the tractor is cold but is still not crisp even after reaching normal operating temps and after using the hydraulics some to get...

    Metal Pole Barn Ceiling Insulation, After It's Built

    I purchased the property next to mine for a few reasons, not least of which was the 36' x 48' metal pole barn, with 12' x 48' carport along one side, on the place. Besides the obvious, I didn't want some pot growers moving in and setting up a grow operation within sight of my main home. At any...

    Ballast  G3038H Considering alternate rear ballast - how much weight do I need?

    I have a backhoe that I usually leave on my tractor all the time and it provides almost perfect ballast when I have my (too big for my tractor) 4n1 installed and loaded to overflowing. It seems ideal for my forklift attachment that stays on much of the time. When I dropped the hoe with the 4n1...

    Dry Cut Saw vs. Abrasive Blade Chop Saw

    I wasn't sure where to put this post but I thought this was as good as any, since there is no tool or shop forum. Anyway, I purchased an Ironman 14" dry cut metal saw from Northern Tool. I cannot say enough good about this saw compared to using the chop saw I've had and used for years. It...

    My List of Shop Stuff, on-Tractor Items, and Nice to Have Tractor Mods

    I put this list together for me and for friends contemplating getting a new tractor. I also posted it on a " Small stuff that I didn't think I needed" thread. It is somewhat comprehensive but I'm always adding to it when a good idea comes up for something forgotten - like I always carry...

    LS G3038H - Looking at a higher capacity alternator

    Has anyone researched and located a higher capacity generator that would direct-fit or adapt to a G3038H. That anemic little charger LS put's on certainly does not do much for my charging confidence or my desire to fit a winch to my tractor. I have a 140 amp Powermaster on my Jeep and I really...

    Canopy  G3038H ROPS/FOPS and fiberglass canopy on top

    I'm looking for thoughts and suggestions from the gallery. I have the roof section from an old fiberglass runabout of '60s vintage. It is about 20 inches wider than the ROPS but still a few inches inside the rear wheelbase. It is very well constructed and in great condition. I have about 6...

    G3038 w/LB1100 hoe - BH keeps blowing return cap off

    My tractor & hoe are about 1.5 yrs old and I've had the metal end cap on the return blow off multiple times. The dealer/distributor, Mike Lane of Los Molinas, CA has worked with me right along, going above and beyond in many cases, but this is a messy PITA. The cap's ears break off and the...

    Dump Trailer Single Acting Joystick Controlled Solenoid Power-up is Intermittent

    I have a Nu Century two-axle dump trailer. The single acting solenoid is controlled with a joystick, not a two button remote. The solenoid is intermittently operable for up - down being a simple vented bleed-back is unaffected. The solenoid/return valve assembly is attached directly into...

    LS G3038H - Delivery Saturday 10-5-2014

    No photos yet but I'll post them next week. We are selling our Ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains and the buyer wants our little (old) B-21 so I was going to be "CUT-less". I told my DW that, since our new plac was flat, adjoined two paved roads, and was only 2.5 acres of forest I really...

    B21 FEL Boom Float Detent Repair

    Anyone. The float detent in my B21's boom control valve has never worked (used tractor purchase) - it is supposed to lock when the lever is snapped all the way forward but it does not. The float works fine as long as I hold the lever forward but this is simply unworkable for any road work - I...
