    L2500DT starting problem

    25 months ago intermittently (real word?) the starter solenoid would click once but the engine would not turn over. Turning the key off/on several times and the click would be followed by the engine starting. This problem got progressively worse until it was 15 to 20 times before the click and...

    Newbie looking for a loader for L2500DT

    I'm a little late but my 2000 L2500DT came with a LB400. If you haven't found a front loader yet you might try tractor junk yards, but freight could be HIGH. Good luck with your search.

    DIY Straw Bucket

    Have you bent any pins? Also, did you weld nuts to the back support or tap the tubing etc? A great build!

    Need a debris fork for pine needles

    Found jbolt001's DIY Straw Bucket and think that the use of concrete form stakes is the way for me to go. I'll use 1 1/2" square tubing for the frame and 3/4"X36" form stakes on 4" centers for tines and will attach it to the bucket. jbolt thanks for the idea. I feel guilty for the theft but will...

    Need a debris fork for pine needles

    I built a pine needle rake which does a good job but I am loading the front loader and shelf by hand. I am thinking about building manure forks for the front loader with 1"X1" bar stock 16" to 20" long tines but am concerned about tine spacing. My road is 1/2 mile from the far end to the burn...

    Need a debris fork for pine needles

    I made a rake to remove pine needles from my road before grading and preparing for snow plowing. I have used a manure fork for years but now need a front loader debris/manure fork to pick up and load them. Any ideas and photos would be greatly appreciated.

    Axle Seal Replacement

    Negative Wolfman. My problem is the seal between the axle flange (8 bolts) and the axle ( 2 studs and 4 bolts that mount the wheel and tire). This morning I used the same chisel and hammer as yesterday, 2 strikes and the collar popped off. Maybe I was holding my mouth wrong. Thanks, Bill

    Axle Seal Replacement

    I have a 2000 L2500DT with a leaking axle seal. I have removed the axle flange #31353-4411-0, bearing # 08101-06206, and bevel gear # 31333-4394-0. My problem is removing the cir-clips (split collar?) #37650-4368-0. I have bent picks, small screwdrivers, etc. with no results. Anyone here have...

    Greasing an LB400

    Flintknapper, Those are the grease fittings. With the boom fully down mine are off just enough to loose some grease while servicing the loader. I think my only option is to enlarge the two access holes.

    Greasing an LB400

    I waste more grease than I apply to the pins in the rear of the booms. The zerks don't line up through the access holes. I have put the bucket in the dump position and raised the tractor with the loader and still can't get a straight shot at these two zerk fittings. I am thinking about grinding...
