    PTO lockout and other questions

    Yes sir not a problem. I tend to have mine set rather open so that my box will fall down and raise back up rather quickly so I can operate the tractor a little bit faster and move more material quickly. To watch me work you'd think I was going at it 100mph like a banshee but when you landscape...

    OR Joe could scroung around up in his neck of the woods and Canada and see if he can find a hunk of conveyor belt. I had thought if a used car tire would do the trick as well. Atleast with a tire he can take a circular saw with a fine tooth blade and cut the tire or a sawzall would work.

    Damn Scott that will do the trick and should work quite well for that Joe needs to do. Even better and a bonus its steel belted that should hold up alot longer. And add extra strength.

    OH almost forgot yes the knob under your seat is a hydraulic control vavle, what it does is adjust the speed at which the 3pt hitch goes up and down.

    PTO lockout and other questions

    I have the same problem with my pto lever. I'm like you I'm 6ft4 and feel kinda stuffed on my B6100. I had thought about taking a C clap and see if that might help hold the lever into place. As fas as manuals go check out E-bay and see what you can come up with. Word on the street around here is...

    I was just thinking and idea hunk to use on the cheap would be an old mud flap from a big rig such as those on a dumptruck. Find a thick one and double them up and stick them on with bolts.

    Tips on operating grading scraper

    Best I could tell ya for now is go to www.everythingattachments.com and see a video on a grader scraper and how it works.

    Good buy????

    What are you looking to accomplish with a front blade? If your looking to move dirt then yes its way to big for a L175. A good rule of thumb you dont want any attachment weather it be front or rear to be any wider then the outside width of the rear tires.

    Good buy????

    Yeah its a good deal now and $121.00 but theres still 2days abd 16 hours left to go on a no reserve aution which means the man with the most money and highest bidd might win,
  18. Eric McCarthy

    Good buy????

    I think honestly a 6ft might be a tad bit to wide for an L175 depending on how deep the snow is your trying to push, but hell throw a number at the bid and see what happens. Whats the worse that could happen you end up owning it and make a few mods.

    Box Scraper

    Yes sir after staring and pondering I think if you took a thick hunk of rubber kinda like a 1/2 inch thick rubber matt and made a cut edge along the bottom near the augger and the sides of the wings you'll be just fine and wont have to cut off a thing!

    Box Scraper

    I say keep the wing and fill the gaps with a few hunks of thick rubber to fill in the voids. It would be one thing if the blower is wider then the rear of the tractor and if you were moving a dense material such as dirt. But its just wet, light and fluffy snow. Add some rubber to it so you dont...
