I have a L3010 with LA481 loader. The loader has a pin-on bucket and I want to change that to SSQA. I've done some online window shopping but would like some advice before buying. Anyone have recommendations for preferred brand or vendor?

I updated my profile to show I'm in Southeast Missouri, near Cape Girardeau and Sikeston.

Yep, I saw that on tractordata and figured I should aim for something close to 8.4. Kind of wondering what's the biggest someone has put on an L175 ... not that I'm wanting to do that but it would be good to know where the limit is.

Thanks D2Cat. I looked there some but will dig deeper. I found a pair of 11.2-24 and wonder if they are too big for the L175? I used to have a Ford 9n/2n with 13.6-28 BF Goodrich Power Grips (I think original equipment was 10.00-28)and although over-sized for the tractor, I ran then for over 20...

A friend has an L175 with 13-6-16 turf (R3?) rear tires. He wants to switch to Ag (R1) tires. I’ve done some searches on Google and this site but haven’t come up with anything solid to give him on how to proceed. On the tractordata.com site I found the L175 spec’d with 8.4-24 rear Ag tires...

I decided to punt and took the cylinder to the shop that did my others. This time of year I need the up-time and it's dicey whether I could turn it around as fast as needed. Last time they charged be 20 bucks for the labor - not bad. Maybe next time. I'd like to have a cylinder to practice on...

Thanks, Bill. Adjustable seems like a good idea. I grabbed one of these of Ebay for $26 including shipping. It oughta do the job, my cylinders (lift and dump) are just over 2-inch and this tool has a range of 1-1/4" to 3" with a 3/16" pin. Overall length of all the brands I looked at was about...

Aluthin, I think the hook spanner is the right tool, thanks for the tip. I don't have one so time to go web shopping. Pin hole size is between 3/16" and 13/64". Looking at hook spanners online and they don't specify pin size so I'm hoping that's somewhat standard. Here's what I have:

I have a LA481 with a leaky lift cylinder and am thinking about putting in the seal kit myself if I can figure out how to get it apart. I know the end unscrews but don't know the method. I had the cylinder on the other side done a few years ago at a shop, and the end cap didn't get chewed up in...
