Fair points. Im the one who usually follows the manual to a "T" as you say. That's why I checked online when I realized I was not keeping up with the maintenance. But you mentioned the schedule is quick. I'm happy to use my best judgement as long as the more experienced agree the schedule is...

I'm glad I came across this thread. I have a LX2610, 4 years old 275 hrs. I performed 10 hr grease, 50 hr service and yearly oil/filter changes. I exchanged the coolant and fuel filter at 4 years 275 hrs. Everything I changed seems to still be in reasonable condition. After closely reading...

150 hours on mine, no issues whatsoever. Would not even consider removing them at this point.

That's a good point. When I push the pin back twords the motor there is plenty of length. It seems like the ring loop is too large rather than the pin being to short. I used zip ties to keep the pin from backing out until the dealer comes up with a fix.

Definitely too short. Anybody hear of a fix? My dealer is still researching...

Hi all, I noticed on my LX2610 ( silver loader pins ) are barely protruding on the back "engine side" of the loader. I never would have noticed this, until I read this thread. I assume the pin should be about a quarter inch longer. I also noticed some of the LX machines have black pins - I...

Wow! That some professional results! Way better than I'm expecting for my smaller yard

Yes, for sure. I have a contractor that offed to do final grade with a small dozer. I was just trying to minimize or eliminate that final step.

Hmmm, almost exactly what I'm doing. I won't be installing any walls though. I'll just grade it out to a final slope. Thanks for the advice!

Good point. The dump trucks just drop and go and I push it into place. Im just leveling a play area so nothing fancy. I didn't think of compacting. Just letting the rain and triaxle dumps do the compacting. Your advice is well taken and a lot to consider, but I don't think I will be that...

As usual, getting more complicated than I was expecting. But I always manage to underestimate projects.... Great advice

Excellent, great information. Thanks!

Yes, Im not sure how fast I can swap the filter. I'm thinking 2 quarts is best case scenario. But my dealer isn't that far so worst case I make a second trip. Thanks for the input!

Thanks, driveway looks great

Also will synthetic oil be okay and do anyone have a brand preference?
