Not only mud, but dry caliche also. I believe the tires may be originals from 1972. In any event they are dry and provide no traction what so ever. I can be on level ground let the clutch out quickly and it will sit there and spin.

Filled em with water today, went to get a load of caliche, and almost got stuck on flat ground. Chains may well be an option.

Looked at the engine side of the tach drive and it's spinning. Got a new one coming. I do know the tach was working previous to the cable failure. Tires, only planning on replacing the rears. Those turf tires are as useful as a screen door on a submarine up here. For now I'm water filling them...

Thanks for the tip, I'll give them a call. I'm in the Texas hill county, don't think the R-4's would give me the traction I need. The terrain on my place has a 350ft elevation change from one corner to another, and the soil ranges from overburden that is slimy as all get out when damp to hard...

Anyone have a good source for a tachometer cable for my L175, they seem to be in short supply. Messicks and some others don't carry them unless I'm overlooking something. Also, I'd like to get rid of the turf tires and replace with ag type. Guessing I'll need new rims as well as tires. Any...

Thanks for the info, I'll put a tube facing down on it.

Finally got back to my L175 with bolts in hand only to find out the missing bolts (3) were fine thread. Went to the local hardware emporium, but all they had were coarse. Decided to drill out the holes and tap for 5/8" standard instead. All three rattled out, none sheared. Also can someone tell...

Don't know about your model, but I gave $45 a piece on Ebay for my L175.

Sure hope ya'll come up with a consensus, I'll be making one to offset the FEL on my L175. It used to have a 4' shedder on it.

Tried sympathy for samples, didn't work, put on the best charm I had, joked with the nice lady, even had her laughing, said she could not do it. Sure would love to try them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

Started in 1962 as a production machinist and that's where I first used a tap disintegrator. Lot's of broken taps in a big shop like the one I started in. Moved on to maintenance machinist in a cast iron foundry. Used mostly torches and welded nuts there. Maintenance machinist in can company...

That's what I'm going to do today. Length is no problem, I can always cut them off. Price ($750) and loader is the reason I bought it. Have no use for the shredder, so I'll be selling it. Great deal for someone, it's like brand new except it sat out in the weather for years.

Got one in great shape for sale, but I'm in Texas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

By shredder do you need something to be cutting grass with? AKA bush hog type? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

OK, I'm giving up on the bolt till I get back up there. Anyone have any ideas about the FEL? Last owner (second owner) said that's the way he bought it.

Would ask him to do more, but he's almost 90 and doesn't really get around much. What I did get from him was the bolt looks like it goes into an existing horizontal hole in the tractor close to the bottom, and near the end of the loader. I think he was trying to tell me it's behind the vertical...

Just picked up L175 with a FEL. Neighbor came over and looked at it today and said there was a bolt missing on the side and rear of the FEL framework. Now the hitch, I'm 300 miles from it, won't be back there for about 10 days and 54 miles one way from the nearest Metric bolt selection. Anyone...

Hello to all. Just bought one! Picked up this L175 with FEL and almost new bush hog. It's a 1972 model. First items to take care of. Pull fuel tank to remove trash and replace injectors, they are the originals and have never been replaced. Gave $750 for it. Known issues: Broken headlight...
