    I love this B1700, but man is it ever rough!!

    Ruh Roh!! Well I got the little B7100 cleaned up and de-greased. Changed the oil/filter, air filter, fuel filter...everything was atrocious! I couldn't find an oil pressure switch today, so I put a little thread sealer on it and popped it back in. I cleaned the deck, greased everything and made...

    Hycraulic fluid filter/screen I've looked 3 times now and I don't see it back there. Am I missing something? -Jason

    I don't believe I'm financially ready to rebuild this motor. I'll replace the valve cover gasket, oil pressure sensor, change the fluids/filters and then clean the tractor up for starters. From there I'll look into a clutch kit and ball joints. I'll do some research on the motor. Thank you...

    Excellent, excellent information. 4wd works well. When I was pulling a disc through the garden I had the rear diff locked and 4wd engaged. Seemed to work well. Seemed like the 4wd lever would bind every once in a while. Rear PTO works (although I've not run anything off of it). HST seems...

    A couple more pictures Is it common for the front end to rock back and forth on this pin? Maybe 1/8"? I'm not going to spend a ton of money on such a worn machine, so this is what I bought so far: Advise is certainly welcome! -Jason

    I just purchased this little tractor. I think I got a pretty nice deal, but good grief...it's really been let go. I should have unloaded it off the trailer and put it right into the shop to service it, but I really needed to mow and turn the garden over: I took the hood off and it will stay...

    Another Log Splitter Question

    Thanks "moderatmixed." I think you're right! ;) The front end is very light, but I take my time driving it. I'd like to put a spindle and wheel on the very back to help with the weight. I ended up having to purchase a new hydraulic control valve. It started leaking fluid like crazy again...

    Another Log Splitter Question

    Update Yesterday I worked on the splitter some more and got enough leaks fixed so I can see how it operates. My $375 splitter is already up to about $500. :mad: I still have one small leak that drips occasionally, but I'll pull it apart and try to get it sealed up after Church Services this...

    Another Log Splitter Question

    I got it hooked up, pulled the lever and immediately blew hydraulic fluid from the splitter hose sky high!! This thing is awesome...I just wish I could split some wood!

    Another Log Splitter Question

    The hydraulic lines on my L235DT are 1/2" and the hydraulic lines on the splitter are 3/4". I promised pictures so here they are, but they don't do a very good job showing how large this splitter is. It's huge! I bet it weighs around 450lbs. I just don't think I'm even going to try to hook it...

    Another Log Splitter Question

    I bought a 3pt log splitter and had the guy drop it off at my house while I wasn't home. Turns out it's HUGE, or at least it seems huge to me. The 3pt it way to big for my L235DT and I'm worried if my tractor's hydraulics will even run the splitter? I'm not sure what will happen if my tractor is...

    Picked Up A L235DR Part II

    My 1st thread talked more about my exhaustive trip...now to the actual tractor. Here it is with the belly mower attached. I also have a 6ft hydraulic front blade, but I won't have the opportunity to use it this year. :( Here it is with the L2050DT I have for sale. -Jason

    Just Picked Up A L235DT

    I absolutely love the 235DT. Ever since I brought it home the L2050 has remained in the shop. -Jason
