What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[Dmacleo]

from what I've seen cannot find taller mirrors with the same style bolt pattern so will recommend to people to buy those 2 items. would love to have taller but w/o fabricating mounts to work with magnets it ain't happening. still gonna work a lot better than no mirrors.
I had similar situation but was able to line up, but thats due to mirrors sticking OUT further (not always a good thing) and being larger.
but turning head every now and then lot better than always turning.
especially with both neck injuries, mid spine issues, lower spine injuries LOL

One thing I miss about my 1710, it was very easy to drive side saddle over the right side and still have access to all the controls, the 1723 does not allow this because of the loader control.

got many hours leaning over sides of a 1710TLB.
way the GC2400 control is mounted (right behind rt side loader frame upright) I could do it...if I weren't a broken useless man LOL
between the circa 2007 or so GC2300 I got about 5 hours on, my own GC2400 with 130+ hours I put on on since oct 2020, the GC1710 with prob 80 hours on, and the 3 the 1723/1725 with 25 hours on....the GC1710 was the best setup for me.

Yeh, I like my 1710 too...especially with the seat I put on it, so that I could just whip around if I'm on the backhoe, without having to get off, flip the seat and all that jazz.

Gene, do you have a thread here about your seat mod?
Thanks

Finally got my backhoe thumb from Bxpanded. Only took a few minutes to install it, but it took a few months to actually get it. I ordered it back in November.

Yeh, right here: That wobbly, uncomfortable, rotating tractor/loader/backhoe seat...hate it!

Here's a vid of it:

Yup, that's the one I got too. I wanna alter the jaws a little, I might screw with them this spring, we'll see.

nothing.
day off for me before 12" inches wet stuff due friday LOL
oil.,fuel,grease all ready on gc2400 with blower attached.
dealing with 1532 with dead block heater bad battery and gelled up fuel filter that not been started in 2 months.
new battery and filter arriving soon. even at 50F would not start. the -20F nights created an issue.

I've been doing nothing with mine most of this winter. Was out yesterday to clean up the drifts before it got warm and started raining today.

Looking at the same forcast here, though they will not give any forecast for accumulation yet locally. Best I can tell right now I can expect 6 to 12 inches.

Possible gelling is why I treat all my fuel, whether I think I need to or not.
