You'll be so happy to get your upper link, after hand cranking your stock link, you'll know the wait was worth it.

I have only had manual links on my tractors, so I am looking forward to it.

A man after my own heart. Whether cars, trucks, motorcycles, or tractors, I believe in breaking them in easy . . . for the first 5 to 10 minutes, then see what'll do.:laughing:

You can bet I won’t be babying it!

That’s almost Randy’s back yard.

When I got the L5030 it dug manure the first day.

I’ll second recommendation for Brian. Bought 2 TL and a SL over the years. Kept one set to use on my LS.

Bird don’t read...
i remember when I bought my GTO. Told me to be easy, break it in until 500 miles. By the time it hit 500.1 I was doing over 90. My Dad was in passenger seat, not too happy with me.

Not sure what work will be, thinking pallet forks, but my LS is sitting at 99.5 hours.

If you baby a new engine, the rings'll never seat. But as I just learned on the big red dirt bike, if you wail on it, you'll use a lot of oil. On that bike, the oil that gets past the rings goes into the air cleaner, then back into the engine, and it built such large deposits of carbon that it scored the cylinder walls. Two hundred bux a hole to have them stripped and replated, another hundred for rings, seventy-five for gaskets and o-rings; I won't make that mistake again. I also re-routed the breather so the oil goes overboard, just like we did in the old days with our Brit bikes.

20F clear lower teens over night.

Logger chipper was howling in the crisp air jake brakes were rumbling coming down steep hill,might take walk to site for quick lookzzz.

Enjoy the evening all.

24 now, low of 21 is predicted, but if it doesn’t cloud up or get windy I would be surprised if we didn’t get into the teens.
Dealer told me if I decide to buy the backhoe within 90 days he will sell it at the package price. Now he has me thinking about that again.
