    Ideas for sidearm/cell phone storage while working.

    I have a small cell phone dry bag on a lanyard. I thought about using it, but I am constantly on and off the tractor picking up the rocks that I am digging up while boxblading. I would end up breaking the phone. BUT---when I am done digging rocks and just mowing, etc. I will definitely use the...

    Ideas for sidearm/cell phone storage while working.

    Just hit hardware store. Small plastic toolbox with a tray to hold phone and gun. Room for 4? cans beer and ice or ice pack. Will drill two holes in the bottom to let the melted ice drain out. We'll secure with just two stainless bolts through the fendor.

    Ideas for sidearm/cell phone storage while working.

    I am thinking of velcro-ing a small igloo cooler to my left fender, just to put my 45, a couple of beers, and a cell phone in. My velcro plan seems kinda lame, so I figured I would check here to see what others have done. Pics always help!

    Throttle lever is VERY tight.

    It was seriously hard enough to move that the rod flexed a bit, and I was afraid something might break. Glad it was an easy fix and I didn't have to dig deep to find the problem.

    Of course I did. But thanks for the warning, in case I didn't know how lock nuts work.

    Throttle lever is VERY tight.

    FIXED! It just needed those two nuts at the bottom of the throttle linkage to be loosened just a bit.

    Bucket lift seems to bind, stick, any adjustments?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at it next time I am out there and see if I can find any issues.

    Bucket lift seems to bind, stick, any adjustments?

    Sometimes, when I lift the bucket, the control handle sticks and it lifts all the way up/down without stopping unless i unstick it. Also, likely a related problem, sometimes it won't go up as fast as normal. I have to push it down then back up to get it to move freely. I am not where the...

    Throttle lever is VERY tight.

    Over the past year, the throttle handle has gotten harder and harder to move. The tractor is only a year old. I am not at the location where the tractor currently is, but plan on being out there in a couple of weeks. Where should I start to explore to find out where the tightness is coming...

    Leveling Boxblade with QuickHitch?

    Looks like a setup similar to what you have. I bought it all as a set. But mine is 2502. Hitch is QH16. This is as far forward as i can tilt it without the hitch hitting the taillights when i raise it. Notice that the inside/forward blade doesn't touch the ground.
