Thanks. Tucker and Jasper are not exactly alot of "help" but they are good pups. They are brothers from the same litter and only 9mos old.

It is now undercover. I moved around a bunch of firewood in a shed to make some room for it. I plan to spin it up to get the lube warmer and any particles suspended and then drain and refill. I might do this a few times since gear oil is cheap. Replaced seal is holding with no leaksso I can keep...

Yup. That was my plan if the stumpjumoer and plates would not come off but as it worked out all that was a breeze and I got the seal replaced easily. But corn head grease will be there as a backup plan

Ha! This old Bush Hog Squealer is not worth that level of effort. I will focus on the vent cap for now.and then flip it over with my FEL, drain oil, and flip it back over for a refill

I have seen where some report that they soak the vent cap in mineral spirits for a bit and then work the spring mechanism loose. Seems like worth a try. Two responses and both from "Hokies." I am located in Hardy at SML.

I too am looking at a similar Summit kit for my B2620. I want a rear remote kit for a hydraulic top link as I spend alot of time box scraping a 0.6mile gravel driveway and want to be able to adjust the angle of the blade from the seat. Buying a rear only remote is only slightly less expensive...

I have searched the interwebs as well as at this forum and other tractor centric places for a clean answer. The signal to noise ratio is about as high as one might expect - hence my post. I have a SQ480 rotary cutter that I bought used as a package with my first tractor back in 2020. It had an...

Plan to toss out some seed this weekend when I am fully done pushing/pulling around dirt. Two lessons learned... I wanted a narrow lane thru the woods for my B2620 and RTV400. I cut the "narrow" lane too narrow for a tractor with FEL and BB. I needed to chainsaw trees 1.5x the track width or...

Put the B2620 TLB to its first concentrated bit of hard work. I needed about a qtr mile of.forest road hacked in to access a remote field so I was not forced to drive off the property, around the roads to the other side and then in thru a gate It is on a slight sidehill. Steeper portions I...

New battery was the fix. Works like a charm now Got most of my forest road roughed in

Yup. Tickles my OCD. I have them on my cars, boats, tractor, UTV, daughter's Joyner dune buggy, generator, motorcycles, and lord knows what else. Cheap, effective, and give you two high-speed usb connectors without a "brick" to plug into. Yes... they draw a minuscule amt of power but it is not...

Thanks guys. Just making sure I was not missing something. I leave the voltmeter and usb chargers connected to battery so I can charge stuff when ignition is off. Draw is minimal and batts live on a tender. Maybe I'll get burned but I am fine with the tradeoff

I am new to diesel tractors. I bought a 240hr used 2013 B2620 TLB a few months back from my local dealer (one owner trade in). Due to winter... I only used it sporadically (never more than 1hr) since then and it has been in a garage at 50 deg or warmer and on a battery tender since then. I...

Dirty deed - i like how your hose routes up and over the ROPS. I would have to do some plumbing to make that work I think. If you look at the pic of the manual from my original post, the top pic shows how the hyd hose routes under the rear case and through a metal holder. This is what mine does...

Thanks guys. I ran it inside the turnbuckle somewhat as shown in owners manual but never felt good about it. Watched it like a hawk with box blade and bush hog in use and it did OK. It is suboptimal for sure but given the valve locations and hose lengths and hose routing - the choices are...
