    Hydraulic filter

    Not sure but if you contact a dealer that sells Woods equipment it is the same as a Woods BH750. I had a Woods BH650 on my original B7200 tractor. Would have had the same filter. The issue is that all the bases are not the same. Worst case scenario is that you replace the base including the...

    Zero turn mowers

    I have a Ariens ikon xl60 which is virtually the same mower. The only issue I had was that the stock spindles are not greasable and costly to replace. The hydros are good with spin on filters. Mine has a Kohler engine but was available also with the Kawasaki engine.

    Deck pulley seized up and melted the belt

    I replace the idler bearings on both my Ariens xl60 zero turn and John Deere 345. I drill out the rivets or spot welds and then refasten the two halves with bolts or re-weld.

    Found an OrangeTractorTalk Youtube Channel

    I am old enough to first think of Allis Chalmers when I think of Orange Tractor.

    BH 77 Issue

    Was using my 2022 Backhoe last week and noticed excessive movement in the bucket cylinder pin connection to the link that connects to the bucket. On disassembly I found that they forgot to install bushings when manufactured. Wish I had noticed this earlier but fortunately I have not used it...

    Anybody dealt with House of Contractors out of Canada?

    "My Cluttered Garage" on YouTube did a comparison video recently of the two Woodland Mills wood chippers. It appears that they have also improved the indeed rollers.

    LX2610 Air Conditioning

    Just wondering how you determined that you need to replace the expansion valve. Have you had poor cooling since purchasing the tractor new? Mine is a 2022 model with about 450 hours and the A/C works fine.

    Utility trailers

    My 5 foot x 12 foot tandem axle trailer was custom built with brakes on both axles. I easily tow my LX2610 on it.

    Auxiliary PTO

    I would not want to raise the 3ph with present plumbing as the suction into the pto pump is in the way.

    Too fat/lazy/old to unlock your SSQA?????……..Then follow me ;)

    Not sure if Harbor Freight makes hoses but Princess Auto up here does. Decent price but when I built my log splitter many moons ago I opted for good quality hoses at a hydraulic supply house since I am standing beside them while operating the splitter. Still like new but other cheaper hoses...

    Can't reattach backhoe to BX23S

    I also make a habit of running the loader controls through all functions to release any residual pressure after I shut the engine off.

    Where to buy pop out window latch for L4200 cab?

    It is amazing what parts are used elsewhere. The door handles on my 1971 Ford were also used on later Dodge trucks. The rear window wiper on my Jeep Grand Cherokee is identical to the one on my Toyota Rav4

    Do you keep spare mower deck belts on hand or wait until one fails?

    I usually have a spare on hand but with the speed of delivery these days probably not necessary. Some belts will dry out over time which will shorten its life. I frequently store them in a sealer bag. I recently had the original belt come off my zero turn and decided to put on my spare. It...

    Never owned a Tractor

    Congrats as well on the new tractor. I have the R14 tires which do cut into your lawn especially if it is a bit wet. Having said this they are better than turfs as far as traction on snow. I mostly went away from the turf tires (had them on my last tractor) as they are much more susceptible to...

    Wheel installation tool

    Glad I was part of helping someone else's back.
