    Found a Post Hole Auger

    Yesterday I picked up a Leinbach Model 7200 Post Hole Auger with a 9" bit. It is in very good shape, $180.00 Missing the A-Frame, but that may be a good thing, as I can design one to be sure I get the lift I need. :D Also missing the Owners Manual, if any one has a lead on one ? :(

    Post Hole Digger - AUGERS

    I am wondering if ALL augers for 3-point diggers have the same mounting size / fixture, etc. I found a PHD ($300.00) that is probably too big with the 4' augers for a L1500? Does any one know? Also the 3-point pins are larger than would fit my L1500, but they can be changed. It is an "off"...

    Mowing to "get away from it"

    Ahh Mowing.... Mowing is a good way to clear your mind of crap going on in your life, by your self, just the rattle tat tat of the engine, the smell of fresh cut grass, the ping ping of the occasional rock. Whether its a job, medical, money, relationship, or heaven forbid an IRS problem...

    FEL to bleed or not to bleed

    I have my loader off, disassembled, getting painted, replacing the controls, Etc. I have seen on other forums two schools of thought one that these are self bleeding, another that you need to bleed them when you have this much air in your system. Any thoughts, experience on this subject?

    Fixed 3-Point problem - Or Did I?

    I got a new (used) COVER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY Thursday from WKTP, painted it and installed it today. I was hoping it would fix the "all or nothing" lowering of the three point. As it never worked from the get go, I had / have no idea what to expect. It did help, I can "feather" it and it will...
