Along with spraying and getting the pressure off it with the stabilizers I wonder if you could carefully try a pickle fork/ball joint fork under the retainer pin area if you have one that is wide enough. Might get it to break loose that way? I have a set of chisels for my air chisel that...

Those F85's were a great looking/running car IMO! I remember my older brother having one with a 4 speed and probably that smaller v8. I was a year or 2 from having a license and wanted one of those but never had one. I wound up with a 64 rambler American with a 196.6 straight 6 and 3 on the...

I wonder if there is a lug bolt in that thread size that you might use instead or maybe a shorter stud is available. Don't know the thread and I am in the US so I go to places online like Rockauto or Mcmaster-Carr when needing something like that. Bill

I have that kind of conversation with my better half. I use my line of "it doesn't work like that" in explaining something she doesn't understand but in a polite way. My other line is" you can't beat math and science". Getting back to the loader arms I don't have your design skills but have to...

Looking at the OP 's picture I have to wonder about the design of welding that tube to the fish plate. The thickness of that could have been flexing above the cross tube on both sides leading to the break starting there. You can see there is more metal to flex above the tube as compared to...

Call me paranoid but I find these things just another step in the ability to track you. NY went to plate readers during covid on the thruway. Won't be long and they will have them on non toll roads and catch you for inspections, registrations etc. When they first were putting plate readers on...

Nice! We haven't anything that big so I have a little rock envy! Bill

Wife and I like the rocks too, she has many gardens. We have found a few nice ones in the woods but a best one is the "potato" It looks like a big brown russet, I would guess it is a piece of granite It is about 30" long and maybe 15" thru. We keep looking for those patches of moss on the...

I don't know but wonder if that style extender is going to add a flex point and defeat the purpose of your hydraulic top link for some attachments. Like say wanting to make a box blade tilt back. I made my own of the style Gaspasser referred to. That moved my top link out and works well. I will...

No these were some plastic screen not brass. And they are described as arresting not to filter. I just didn't know diesel was that big of an explosive problem that needed them added to the cans along with a useless nozzle. Bill

It's a toss up between changing the clocks and fuel cans nozzles which is done just to mess with things that don't need changing and control the masses. Those "flame arresting" screens in the diesel cans I bought making them splash back were removed by me and I added the vents I get from ebay...

Thanks for posting this! I have that same plow I bought new back in the 90's. I used it recently on a garden tractor to bury a air line across the lawn for the pond aerator. Hard to get good traction with that and I was trying to think of a way to make a hitch for using it on the L2501. I made a...

I put together my own T&T for my L2501, no QH. I used a valve from summit that had float in both. It helps me if I put them in float to level a back blade or rake on the garage floor before I take it out. I glued a 2 way level vial I got at lowes in one of those HF magnetic bolt dishes. That is...

That's it!

I like your hood ornament! Reminds me of like the old Brockway Husky. As a kid in the 60's I lived a block away where they were made in Cortland NY. Bill

Nice project, from your concept start to a working finish! Bill

Interesting video. I watched it all but near the end when he was welding on the 2 v shaped pieces I noticed he was using that needle scaler to remove slag like you would normally see on stick welding. Any idea what mig process that was that has slag? Bill

Interesting find here.

I used the same style in a JD 830 we mowed with at work years ago. I had a boss who had a bad hip and couldn't turn easy and I did it for him. Then found it was great for me too. I don't have a cab on either tractor but have golf cart mirrors on them. On the L2501 I mounted them on the loader...
