    Rebuiding Cab

    Great looking job Rusty. I like that California tilt on the cab. after reading about your arthuritis<sp> I'm even more impressed with your work. There's something about that 5 being the first number in our age that starts stuff happening. Have a good winter. Mike

    rear tire repair

    Hi Bruce. I did it the same way I always do. Used the reamer to open the hole and then pushed the plug in all the way pulled it back halfway and cut it off. I'm hoping now that I haven't ruined the tube by trying to plug it. I'm going to try Vic's idea this weekend. As usual I've made something...

    Rebuiding Cab

    Great looking work!! In Texas we would be going for A/C instead of heat.:):) How much weight will the cab add to the tractor? I'm wondering if you work on much of a slpoe will it change the center of gravity? Mike

    rear tire repair

    Thanks for the advice. I didn't think about it having a tube. I like the urethane idea and if it ever stops raining long enough thats my next attempt. One of the things I am looking at if the tire has to come off is the tire weight removal. They came on the tractor when I bought it 20 odd years...

    L210 hydraulics

    Thanks Vic I'll keep an eye out for it. A great website with lots of info. Much appreciated by orange tractor owners everywhere. Are you in Alberta? I had fresh caught trout cooked in butter from the McCloud <sp?> river once. A fun canoe ride also.;-))) Mike

    L210 hydraulics

    Anyone out there with hydraulic experience on the L210? I have the owners and parts manuals and have a shop manual ordered. The lift doesn't hold pressure and the fluid is getting in the main gear case. Filter is clean. I'm thinking it is the o-ring on the hydra piston. Anyone ever have this...
