I didn't find any takers for my bucket. Cutting the pin-on mounts off with a plasma cutter went pretty well, but you have to be careful cutting off the horizontal brace because you can easily cut through the bucket. I didn't take any photos while we were cutting it apart, but I'll guess it was...

I drilled out the hole on my drawbar so I could use a 2" ball. It was close to the correct diameter so it just needed to be slightly larger. I've moved trailers that take a 2 5/16" ball with the 2" ball without a problem, I just take it easy and it's fine. You do need to make sure you have...

I hitched up the bush hog today, which was very easy with the extendable top link. Hooking up the PTO is always a nuisance with the quick hitch but it's ready to go. Tilting the BH worked well to get the edges of the driveway trimmed without picking up gravel along the way. Before I hitched...

I do have to be careful about pulling the top link all the way in and raising the 3pt hitch all the way up as the levers that lock the hitch on can hit the bottom of the taillights. That could be an expensive mistake, but it was also true with the screw link as well. I didn't see any other...

There is enough clearance between the filter and the hoses to change it without having to disconnect anything. The sectional valve output was SAE 10, I used a reducer to SAE 8 so that all hoses had straight SAE 8 connectors. There is a right angle fitting on the PB return to the manifold. One...

I installed 3 rear remotes on my 2017 L3301 with help from TheOldHokie. I ordered top and tilt cylinders from Fit-Rite, and bought a set of sectional valves from Dan. I decided to mount the valves behind the seat, using the ROPS to support the outside end. I used one of the blind nuts that...

I cut the pin-on mount plates off with a plasma cutter and welded an SSQA adapter plate onto the bucket. It was a lot cheaper than buying an SSQA bucket.

I have a 60" pin-on bucket for the LA525 loader (L3301) that I would like to sell or trade for an SSQA bucket of the same width. I'm in southeast Indiana, and we can work out delivery or delivery/pickup. The bucket is straight and has 2 bolt-on chain hooks. Looking for $350 or nearest offer...

Timing is everything, right?

I'll take the set, Dan. PM incoming.

I ordered a set of mats for my L3301 HST and they were delivered today. They fit perfectly. Thanks to Hawk67.

Since I'm planning to move the adjustable side link to the left side, I was thinking I could cut the fixed side link and use the ends from it. Is that a good way to go for this upgrade?

I would suggest that you NOT leave 4WD engaged if you're turning on pavement.

I wanted to use a drawbar with a mid-mounted 2" ball to move trailers around at my place. But I ran into the same problem with the drawbar rotating until the ball was at the bottom - not too useful in that position. I welded some 1/4" angle iron to the drawbar , you could use 1/4" plate steel...

FMVSS section 393-43 disagrees with you on that point. I don't see any mention of brakes on both axles as an exception.
