Just in general man I'd really read the manual, cover to cover. Sit down with a cup of coffee and go through the entire thing. Even if you don't use all of the information, the next time something happens on your tractor you may vaguely remember the manual discussing it. If you follow the manual...

I cleaned it up a bit, it seems like it's coming directly from the spool valve itself. I drew a little arrow to where the leak is dripping down from. I've never taken the backhoe off so I don't think it's from me. When I clean everything up the drip comes right back.

I noticed a small wet spot the other day when I got to my backhoe so I figured I'd keep looking. Worked all day with the tractor, no performance or power problems, nothing seems amiss. I noticed a lot of seepage and what looked almost like grease but there's no grease point at this location...

I was in my 30's and realized I had over 100,000 miles on motorcycles and never had an accident, not even set it down. At that point I sold my current bike and have yet to buy another one. 100,000 miles with no scratches is a pretty good return at the casino, I figured it was best not to push my...

Gotcha, that makes sense. So it's more about damaging than the filters clogging up. Edit: also just sent an email for those filter guards. Not even just the filters but the torquing of them on their mounts would be rough!

Is there a pack or can I use standard automotive fuses?

A few folks have mentioned filters. I've had a marine diesel before so I get that junk gets in there and you want to keep it clean, but my experience with engine oil and the such is that it's only really a timing on replacement. Does the hst and hydraulic filter tend to foul up more often than...

That's a great list, thanks, I'll get on it! To keep it from getting stolen, it's in a pretty remote place but I have a neighbor that I know who can see over there. I took the key and the green fuse in the "key" box. I parked a trailer in front of it and put a u lock into the trailer's ball...

Hey guys and gals. I use my tractor in a pretty remote area, it's about 45 minutes to a small hardware store and about 3 hours to the dealership. It's a new-to-me fel with a BH77 and I use it hard, it's at 120 hours. I had a small "oh shit" emergency where when I stopped on the forward or...
