    Before & After PSI's

    I have a question concerning unloaded and loaded tire pressure. Whether or not the running PSI is different between the two. Case in point, I have 13.6 X 16 tires that according to the book, should be at 14PSI. I've been running 12PSI, as when at 14PSI, only about 5½" of tread makes contact...

    My Winter Experiment

    Can't remember where or exactly when, but I read of a suggestion on how to dull the bucket edge for snow removal. Sounded like a workable idea, so I broke the bank by getting a five foot length of 1½" sch 40 PVC. Trimmed it to proper length and ran a cut lengthwise. Dressed bucket edge and with...

    Measured Drained Fluids

    I am curious if anyone has ever actually measured the amount of oil, especially hydraulic oil, that drains out compared to what you know is at capacity before draining. How much residual oil will still not be drained. In other words, if your system capacity is 7.3 gallons and via the sight...

    L3400 Sun Canopy

    Well, the weather is finally cooperating and with such, I was able to get my sun canopy mounted as well as my rear view mirrors. The canopy was more or less an afterthought as my original task was to have the rear view mirrors but was not happy with the available mounting locations. I had...

    L3400 - My two issues addressed

    One thing that I have not figured out yet is why there is never any kind of tool box or something else for items usually needed while operating in the field. My main items that I like to have handy are a couple of different lengths of chains, Choker, 8# Mall, Gloves, interchangeable balls, and...

    Your OTT upgrade experience and thoughts

    Because I really enjoy, along with learning so much from OTT that it was not out of the question to throw some support towards the site and become a Lifetime Member. As a perk, it said "Fewer Adds". I don't seem to see any difference, especially concerning "Green" ads. "Special Member Tags"...

    UDT or Gear Oil

    I know that it has probably been discussed before and I've been searching with no luck finding where it was posted. Question is, my manual says that you can either use UDT/Super UDT oil or SAE 80/90 weight Gear Oil in the front axle and I was wondering if there are any pro's or con's with either...

    Power Steering Assy with Priority Valve

    First off, I know that this should be posted in the "Buy, Sell, Trade" section, as it will be, but I thought that I would throw this out at all the tinkers, collectors, and the men that don't throw ANYTHING away. Stuff just sitting around that could be put to good use. With that said, I have a...

    Older Fuel Cap

    I've been thinking of trying to find a Fuel Cap with a gauge for my old L235 (1983). I use a dowel now to check level, works, but thought about how nice it would be to know by just looking at the cap. Has anyone else had a similar thought and if so, were you successful and where did you find a...

    Replacing Glow Plugs

    After what seems to be a lot of time for Glow Plugs to heat enough to allow smooth starting, plus the fact that they are thirty years old (and probably need to retire), and lastly that they are not that expensive, I decided to change mine. Got 2/3rds of them changed. The third? Well one of the...
