My 1980s L 295 has a hydraulic pump driven off the spline on the front of the crank shaft. The spline has completely worn out on the adapter and the spline on the crankshaft shows a lot of wear. Pulling and repairing or replacing the crankshaft is a lot of work and opens a big can of worms. Has...

I have an old 295dt four wheel drive front tires are 7-16 . I mow a field full of hawthorn shrubs plus use the loader and forks. I would love to go to an 8 ply tire from the 6 but no one make the 7-16 in 8 ply. The diameter of the 8-16 is about 1.5 inch difference. I am assuming that beyond the...

Thanks, I have been thru Moog and TRW books no one seems to have a metric 20 by 1 they are all 20 by 1.5 I am still searching I appreciate the response.

I was working my tractor a little too hard today and the tie rod pulled right out of the shaft. They must be original as their are no grease nipples on them. They are shot. The one end is M20 by 1 rh thread I think the other end is left hand thread. I can not find a listing anywhere for a left...

I have the same issue, I went to Home hardware where they sell it in a 1 liter can for 15.00 .Took a part of the tractor in and they color matched it for me. Its perfect, I can brush it on small touch ups or spray it . The autoparts stores even sell a small sprayer with a disposable pressure can...

I work in the tire industry. Most large tire shops have ties to several rim suppliers. Go in and ask them, We can even get custom bolt patterns and wheel offsets that are cost effective for the customer. I had to get custom rims made for a Ford SA 1200 and they were under two hundred cdn...

I own a much older machine. But I used a three jaw puller, cheap no name in the 30 dollar range. Take the nut off that retains the steering wheel and make sure you protect the threads the puller can push down and deform them. I have a 1/2 pipe cap I slip over the top to cover them. My old L...

Dcat if you get a chance a few more would be great, I think I have it but it looks to me like the bar goes below the axle in the picture. A little more clarity would probably save me hours. thanks

Hi, I am in Canada, the roll bar deal is US only. My dealer quoted me almost 1600.oo for the one they have access to. I do not have any kind of a roll bar now but I have read enough on here that I would prefer to call mine a light or accessory bar. I am going to PM the one gentleman who offered...

Hi, I am going to fabricate a light bar to mount some driving lights on for plowing. A canopy for some shade while mowing , some hydralic connections for the rear, and oh yes a coffee cup holder. I am wondering if anyone has an older L295 or similar that had a factory roll bar and could send...

For what its worth , I have been keeping a watch out in Alberta and BC never found anyone who stocks the Rustoleum 7784 .

I work in the Tire industry. If it was me I would scrap the rim or send it to a rim shop and have them repair it. Its not worth the risk or the hassle. Your in Oregon go see a Les Schwab store that services a rural area, odds are they should be able to offer you a choice of tires , and...

Talk to your local agricultural tire dealer. They will have access to a manufacturer who either offers one or can make one. They are normally reasonably priced. We get them in Canada and it takes a week or two and the cost is less than buying from a tractor dealer.

I had a 48 inch box blade off my old tractor when I got my new to me tractor that was 60 inches at the wheels. It worked fine. I sold the old tractor with all attachments and got a 64 inch so it would be wider than the tires. Its for sure faster on the driveway as it does two passes, but I think...

Thanks , I appreciate the help.Its now tapped and plugged.
