I checked my machine. I have the BT600 which only has 2 hoses. In the year since I installed it I have pulled 2 dozen stumps, planted (16) tress, widened a 100 feet run-off ditch and the list goes on. I would use the tractor hydraulics before spending money on a PTO pump. Unless you really need...

Here is a full picture

I am just starting to bring an old dump trailer back to life. It has a double acting cylinder with a single acting pump. As you can see in the picture, the top port on the cylinder has rubber hose that returns to the tank. Since I am installing a new dump pump kit, should I switch to a double...

I started with the forklift backstop that had for about 5 years. I found the thumb metal in a used tractor yard. They gave them to me for free. The cylinder is from Surplus Center. The most money was spent on the quick attach plate, $78. I already had the hoses but I spent $10 on fittings at a...

I added a grapple to my Bolens H1502. I made the grapple from scrape metal I had laying around. It weighs 219 pounds and cost $130. I spent $78 on the quick attach plate and $40 on the cylinder. It was really a fun winter project. .

I picked up a backhoe on CL and added it to my H1502. I'll be adding a separate flip seat later today. Next week, I prime and paint the 4 point subframe and mount.

I have a H1502 with the remote manifold for a loader and I want to test the system pressure. The pressure gauge on the loader is only showing 1300 psi but I was expecting 1800 psi per the Bolens specs. I would like to put the gauge before the loader and check the pressure coming out of the 3...

This was my fall project but since I did not get more than 3" of snow all winter I did not get a chance to play with it in the snow. It works as designed. I added to chain drive to reverse the rotation of the front drive shaft. I owe the chain drive idea and parts list to my good friend Jim...

I purchased a power steering unit online last year because it was way under priced and I was the only bidder. This is my second power steering modification on a tractor. The first one is on my Case 444 garden tractor. The power steering valve is a 5 port unit off of a JD 318. It is a Hydraguide...

This is for the H1502, G152, etc. I know the factory belt is a SB43, but does anyone know of an off the shelf size that will work? The previous owner installed belts that are too short. Rather than re-inbent the wheel, I thought I should ask before taking the trial and error approach. James

I have search all over but I cannot find out how to re-install the front PTO. Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks, James

I had a manifold fabricated and it is ready to go. I also installed a transmission oil cooler since it was missing when I got the H1502. James

I am looking for a remote block like one in the picture so I can add a loader. I prefer not to cut my high pressure line. Thanks

I just picked it up on Saturday. It came with a 17350 mower and 17377 snowblower; both of which I do not need. I have questions about the hose on the front and the cables on the each side that are attached to the 3 point. Please let know what is missing and what is needed. I plan to add a...

500 hours, belly mower, 3 point, unknown year, unknown belly mower brand. I have a Johnson loader and a unbranded backhoe I want to add to it. He is asking $2,500. It is in fair condition and comes with the manuals. What do you think? James

How would you go about making this repair?

My flux core welder has a jerky wire feed problem but a friend with the same make and model does not have the same problem. Yesterday we tried his welder at my shop and it had the same problem. When he returned home his welder acted normal again. We think the problem is the electrical service in...

What I know about hydraulics would fit on the back of a postage stamp. Please keep that in mind when you respond. A few years ago I built a loader on a Cub Cadet 1250 tractor. It works great but now I have a new project with the Case 444. I would like to use the factory hydraulics to power the...

I am converting a trip loader to hydraulics. Do I need to include bucket stops to prevent damage to the cylinders? If so, please explain. Thanks James

I am looking for a loader for my Case 444 somewhere near Maryland.

I have a rzt17 and the pto turns when engaged. Can someone please post a picture of the anti-rotational bracket so I can see if I am missing any parts? It seems to have some play. I would like to see a picture of the factory installation. The service manual does not show the back of the bracket...

When I went to install my cylinders I noticed that one was stuck. The problem is internal. The cylinder has been sitting dry for over year while I worked on the tractor and loader. I feels like the piston was stuck. Do I need to have it rebuilt or can I just add oil and expect it to move freely...

I am working on adding a loader to my Garden Tractor. This is a 300-500 pound class loader. A friend suggested that I use 3/8" lines. However, the ports on my cylinders are 1/4". Does it matter if I use 3/8" or 1/4" lines to the cylinders? The pump is set to at 3.31 GPM but I can go higher with...

This is the pump that I own: Specifications Rated pressure: 2900psi. Displacement .3759 cu. In/rev Shaft: 1/2" keyed. Ports: SAE 3/4-16 inlet: 9/16-18 outlet. Rated RPM: 2000, Max RPM 4000 Part Number CB1A-F6SA Are there any advantages or...

My Danco garden tractor loader came with dirty hoses. If I replace all of the hoses and fittings, it will cost around $300. Some of the fittings are caked with mud. How can I clean the hoses or do I need to replace everything? Thanks for your help and comments in the past and now.

I just added a loader to my Cub Cadet 1250. I have a power steering pump from a 1987 Acura Legend that is v-belt driven. I'd like to install the pressure gauge and lines and test for maximum pressure before I get the control valves. I want to make sure that the relief valve operates within the...

I am adding a loader to my cub cadet 1250. Yesterday I pulled a power steering system from a cub cadet 3184. I have everything but the charge pump. My 1250 does not have a charge pump. What are my options to power the system? PS: Spoon feeding is highly encouraged.

My 2702 has a power beyond port that has a plug. Can I just remove the plug and add a hose or do I need a special plug for the power beyond? Thanks, James
