    B26 Exhaust fumes

    Front Bucket Control Lever

    A cheap fix. Clean the oval hole really well. Wrap tinfoil or wax paper around the oiled pin. Insert into the oval and fill the void with your favorite JB Weld product. Once it hardens pull the oiled pin and it should last a long time until you save the $ to replace with original parts.

    Another Bucket Level Indicator Thread

    My B26 has the factory rod which is useless. I only want to know when it is level on the ground for snow plowing as the float feature is also useless. So I added a bar to the snow extensions that bold on each side of the gravel bucket. All it is a piece of flat bar 2 " wide and 8" long. Just...

    Utility trailers

    In Ontario you must have trailer brakes over 2,950 lbs total weight, single or double axle. So if you decide bite the bullet and have brakes then no brainer to have double axle with increased load capacity

    LX4020 ROPS lighting help

    Although those calculations are correct its based on the wrong info supplied. There is no way these LED lights draw that many watts. They are just stating that as a comparison to old style light bulbs. Note they state the lumens at 5,500 I just checked a normal LED bulb that states 8,000...

    What do you have for a stump grinder and would you buy it again?

    Trusting he is friends with the local fire department so when the roots smolder/burn and come up elsewhere lighting a new fire, no charges get laid

    Loader arms faded...will warranty cover this?

    Automotive quality clear coat is your answer. It has UV filters to stop fading. Never paint over anything you have already polished. It must be stuck directly to the original paint;.

    Question - L5030 FEL 'float'

    Normal ?? Using a B26 with TL500 loader also behaves this way. Floating while driving forward lifts the front wheels off the ground. Thats not called floating. Yet my dealer also had no answer. Its some design defect. Other tractors I owned actually floated and followed the ground contour...
