What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

[amarsh64]

I have kitty cat paw prints on my seat and hood fairly often and I don't own a cat LOL. Alright by me as I have never had a rodent problem with the tractor. I'll chalk it up to the cat lounging around.

The rod with the little dip that indicates your bucket is level for me is just about useless.
I can barely see it and has been bent several times it is off by several degrees and most of the time I ending up digging with the bucket when I really want it flat.

Today I made up a new one that is easy to see. I only need to know the bucket is flat and this works great for me. I got this idea from another poster some time back.

So you repainted the rod red so it’s easier for you to see ?

The original rod was 1/4" metal.

I replaced it with a 3/4" PVC that slides in a 1" conduit.

At the junction of the red meets the white on the PVC even with the end of the conduit the bucket is flat at ground level.

This keeps my Piranha Tooth Bar from digging in.

Spring time ditch repair using the backhoe on my R4047H.

Snowed about 5 inches here yesterday so today I had to plow some snow with the front loader. Should have installed the turf tamers but I didn’t so I wound up gouging the lawn in two spots, not real bad but now I have some lawn repair work to do which could have easily been avoided by taking 5 minutes to install the turf tamers.

Nobody's done anything in almost a year?


Granted, mine sits in the shed most of the winter, but I used to to moved some snow, cleared some ditches and moved some dirt around.

Did a 650 hour service on the XR3140 10 hours early. Engine oil/filter and fresh air filters.

I'm trying to remember to get off the tractor and take a pic every once in
awhile....but....I'm used to just working until I get it done. I was picking up
trees, limbs, trash vegetation etc and putting it on a burn pile during Jan
and Feb. I won't have the 573 on a pasture again until the ground dries up. We've
had a lot of rain lately with more on the way next week. Mine gets used off
and on all year long.. Whenever needed. We mostly have mild winters.

Haven’t used my LS a lot, only put on about 500 hours in 5 years but so far it has been pretty much trouble free. I believe reading this forum has been a pretty big help in avoiding possible problems.

Mine sat all winter. I have the forks on it to move around building materials. The hyd pump is leaking so if I do start it, it is only for a few minutes.

Got 8 inches of new snow overnight so today I used tractor loader and rear blade to plow snow for a couple hours.
Weather forecast is predicting another 20-30 inches of new snow tomorrow night, they say it could be a new record.

Offense is the best defense, form maintenance.

Snow is just a battle
