    MX 4800 shut down, threw codes, and easy repair

    Might also check the Common Rail Sensor Connector worth a try. Note, I had to clear the codes after replacing the connector. Easy to clear the codes, let me know if you need to know the procedure . Good luck.

    Anyone try a Heavy Duty Grapple on Grand L

    I have to say there is little my grapple will not handle, it is the most versatile attachment I have. And it is GREAT for clearing blackberry bushes which seem to take over here in the PNW. M

    transmission fan replacement BX2660

    Wife's favorite is the triple, she loved flying it but when we moved to the PNW had to switch to the 78. She is with AAL. I think you are right on the indoctrination, work, but but good to get it apart and take care of a bunch of small items that would not happen otherwise. Good machine...

    transmission fan replacement BX2660

    I used O rings from my Harbor Freight assortment, would not have known they were there if I had not saw them on a you tube vid. You must fly 73's My wife flew them for years, now is flying 787's Always said it was a great plane. M

    transmission fan replacement BX2660

    Finally had to replace the cooling fan on my 2008 BX2660 with just under 500 hours. Not an easy thing, but not too bad. If you are about to do this on a BX2660 be aware of the following: Some you tube videos show (I believe a BX25 series) the coupler is in two pieces and bolts on in front of...

    MX5200 300 hour service...cost?

    I just did the 400 hour service on my MX4800 myself, pretty easy. Cost was about 200 for 6 filters (2 hyd 1 oil and 1 fuel 2 air filters) 100 for a 5 gal bucket of SUDT. I already had the engine oil as I use it in other vehicles. Took about an hour and was all pretty easy as per the manual...

    Can you figure this one out? Answer post 12!

    Happens on my plane all the time. I fuel both wings, fuel comes from below ground and is cold. I fly home and the wing tank I did not use is leaking fuel from the vent. Sun warms the wing, fuel expands and flows out the vent. Surprising how much fuel actually comes out. M

    Must have 3 pt or FEL accessories?

    I agree, My grapple is the handiest thing I have on my tractor. I use it to clear brush, excellent for clearing blackberries. I use it when falling trees. I cut them in to 12 ft lengths, stack them and haul them with the grapple. once the logs are removed I pick up all the limbs with the...

    The little tractor that could.

    Have to throw this photo in. My Mx 4800. This is a solid Doug Fir stump, full of dirt. All she would do to lift it, and no higher. I have no idea what it weighs, but as you will notice, not much weight on the back tires. M

    stabilizer replacement

    I lost the starboard stabilizer on my MX4700. (cutting deep grass with a 6' cutter, I found it, but only after running over it with the cutter and bending it..) I notice Messicks sells one for the L series but no mention of the MZ series. Their PN is "Telescopic Stabilizer Kit, Part # L8430"...

    QUESTION about running on the road

    If you think of the pedel as a gear shift with many speeds that shift higher as you push it down, lower as you ease up, it makes sense. Just like going up a hill in a truck it starts to slow down so you shift down a gear or two. Muscle memory from driving a car makes you unconsciously think of...

    Help .. I’m stuck...

    My boarder collie does a pretty good job driving the little tractor. She is a working dog so as you can see she also cuts and splits wood. M
