I received everything from Brian. Now I need to order my 3 supply hoses. When I saw all the fitting options online, I got a little overwhelmed. Reached out to Brian and he confirmed all fittings to attach to the spool valve are #8 JIC Female Swivels. He's super responsive and helpful.

I "found" this in the weeds at my property. It's been there since I bought the place 8 years ago. 2/3 of the reels spin. 1/3 cuts really well. This thing needs a lot of work and I'm interested in doing it; but I have no idea where to start. It's a Worthington Jacobson, no idea how old. Any...

Summit finally picked up the phone and I ordered what I need. UPDATE and self-deprecating admission: I installed the solenoid to the valve body with the fiber protection pad on it (idiot!!), then snapped off a bolt in the aluminum valve body trying to over-tighten the bolts to stop the leak...

Does anyone have a phone number for Summit that I can get a live person at?

Everything was installed yesterday. The valve from summit is leaking pretty badly, so I've reached out to them about that; but otherwise it was an easy install. Tractor looks mean with a grapple.

What is the benefit of having an inline switch?

I'm installing 3rd function this weekend using Summit's kit. I have questions about wiring. I've seen there are different options for wiring - e.g. wiring direct to battery, a keyed/ignition or fused power source. Wiring direct to the battery seems the easiest route. What are the pros/cons...

For those that have the summit 3rd function hydraulic kit; what size nylon sleeve will fit both hoses in it?

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to say this is the beauty of historical threads. I just encountered the same issue on my L3800 and was able to search the forums, find the issue and potential solution and voila! it's fixed. My PTO retraction spring (my name for it) had seized up...

My kit from Brian should arrive next month. I need to purchase the long hydraulic lines he doesn't include in the kit. Anyone out there already do this for a L3800 that can tell me what I need to purchase (size, length, connections, etc.)?

Thanks everyone for the replies. Brian is helping me out with this. Also - apologies for the typo in the original post - it is in fact a 30 WEEK lead time and NOT 30 months (which would really stink). I'll try remember to document the process when I put it all together in the spring. My 16...

I want to add rear remotes and top + tilt to my L3800. I'm finally at the point on my land where I need to get a box blade and do some grading, leveling and drainage ditching. I reached out to my dealer and the L3800 remote kits have been discontinued, so I'm at a loss on where to start. I...
