B26 PICTURES

[SamWalton]

I took a few pictures of our B26 after removing the grill and side panels. I was surprised how quick and simple it is to gain access for service. Enjoy

Watch it Sam, you're gonna mess up the red nail polish....

Just teasing, nice looking tractor. Easy access too.

Thanks for sharing the pics! Is that alternator standard, or did you add it as an option?

Sam,
I am going to give you the best advice you could ever receive. Don't let your wife stand under a raised bucket. There have been too many accidents.

Nice Rig!!! I have a L39. Sometimes I wish I had the B26. The L39 is too big to tow behind my F150.

Jon.

I think it is secure with the engine off and the loader controls locked. If it had a leak it would move slowly.

That is a standard alternator.

Looks like you might have a fight getting the B26 away from Mrs. Walton...

Very nice, excellent accessability. The previuos TLB models (b21, l35, l48) have no where close the ability to open it up like that so easily. I guess it gets back to the dilema of heavy metal armor vs. thinner hood. My L48s have the true "hard nose" with metal supports covered with thick sheet metal to form the top, side panels which cme off, and a nose assembly like a log skidder.....and there is no way your wife could pick it up so easily. Is that front grill piece she is holding thick metal? I have not done a thorough, close up inspection of a B26 yet. Thanks for the pics, nice machine.

Yes, very nice, SAM.

The B21 hood opens very easily, but totally different from the B26. It
hinges in the front and articulates the grille guard out of the way with a
linkage. No side panels. More complicated, but effective.

Question for SAM: I see you have the factory worklights on the FOPS.
My B21 has those, too, but have never been connected to a switch or
power, as far as I can tell. Does yours use a separate switch from the
regular head lamp switch? The four lights on my FOPS would use a lot of
current and I think they should have a separate switch and fuse.
