This is my go to method. Pretty simple.

My story is the same as this one. After retiring from my construction gig, I took a couple quarters of community college welding labs (Saturdays 9-4) working on stick welding profieciency. I already owned a Lincoln AC225. Then I bought the same Primeweld machine as above. It was shocking how...

I have an F3060. I experience a certain amount of turf wear and tear when maneuvering in tight spaces. I don't really know what to attribute this to except that a relatively large machine turning sharp scuffs low traction surfaces? I disconnect the rear driveshaft after spring hoping to...

I added top and tilt to my L48 recently. I see your control valve appears to be a joystick. I was thinking that might work pretty well in a T&T application. Your set up looks like it will work great. Doug

I was wondering if it would be possible for you to post a picture or two of the hinge/cylinder pivots that show detail from above and a close up from each end of the pivot bolt/pin. I reached out to EA, asking if my grapple can be retrofitted with the current cross drilled pin design. I would...

That looks exactly like my pivots. It is pretty silly looking.

I see they added a cross drilled pin to the cylinder/lid pivots. I bought my grapple from them in 2021. I was really happy with the attachment (and still am), except for the really goofy lubrication set up at the outboard pivots. I also was not happy with the response when I asked Travis how the...

Or, at least very similar.

Amazing how much your dolly looks exactly like the one I built.

I agree with your assessment. Really nice. Doug

I had a good picture of the hose connections on the backhoe, but not the tractor side. I took a picture that shows the connections and the valve handles used to divert flow to operate the 3 point hitch when the backhoe is removed. I hope this helps. Doug

You are definately qualified. You got this. Doug

I was surprised by how easy removal and installation is as well. Quite a bit easier than my John Deere 855. The owner's manual spells the procedure out pretty well. The decals do as well, and are much handier than reaching for the manual. I think you can still obtain the decals, but don't...

I am sorry to say, I do not. I would like to experience it though. Except for the paying for it part, I am sure. Doug

2 studs and 3 bolts must be to make it easier to hang the wheel, I am guessing. Doug
