I've got mine flipped out as wide as they'll go... but I may have more side hills....

RectorSeal #5 is what I've used for tapered pipe threads since I worked in Ag Engineering at UC Davis back in the early 80s. Works well, works on steam stuff too.

Our yellow 110 TLB has lockouts from the factory. I should have something for our little B5100.

My wife or her sister (many years ago, don't remember which, maybe both :) ) backed into my old motorcycle. +1 for crash bars, no damage save for some paint scratches on the crash bars fixed w/ a rattle can. I quickly learned not to mention it ever again.

You might ask on garagejournal.com if you don't get any bites... that does look like a useful unit, though.

Or consider a TIG welder :)

I use the diff lock on my little B5100 when the traction shifts rapidly from tire to tire - typically in deep snow, or in mud when dragging a log... When one tire is spinning consistently, using that tire's wheel brake actually works better, and I don't have to stop to engage it, unlike the...

These are Western tent caterpillars... https://treefruit.wsu.edu/crop-protection/opm/tent-caterpillar/

We have quite the plague of tent caterpillars this year....

Yup... I remember when I started welding about 50 years ago... welding is one of those skills that the only way you get better at it is to do it. Sure, someone explaining what's going wrong helps, but there's really no substitute for just burning lots of rod or wire. Congratulations on...

> I did not, if I can figure out how to get the gun in there I'll give that a whirl, I guess > anything is better then nothing on that part For next time, grind a bevel on the outside of the bushings after they're cut to length such that the bevel matches the thickness of the side of the arm...

I went back and checked my B219; the only ones w/ Zerks left are the main pins at the top of the vertical posts. I think there may have been some at the end of the cylinder rods, but they're gone/broken off. Meh. Grease what you can w/ something sticky and EP rated every so often and they'll...

My dad once hired a guy to mow his pasture/hay lot. The fellow showed up w/ a nice flail mower, and tried getting close to the edges, and found a bunch of wire mesh that got wrapped around that flail really tight... What a miserable job getting that stuff off. Now that I'm managing the place...

If you have the time, drill & tap (1/4-28 works) for some Zerks so you can grease the thing easily... if that's a bridge too far, pack the joints w/ a nice sticky waterproof EP grease when you put it together.

For what it's worth, the stock pressure relief valve on my B219 cracks open at about 800 ps; this appears to be about 500 lbs at the bucket based on guessed weight of rockets. By the way, for a quick calculation of lift through all the linkage, etc, just measure the travel of the cylinder at...

I adapted a B219 to my B5100; if you need any measurements, just ask. - Bart

When was this? I got my ROPS in 2015 (gack - 8 years ago now). - Bart

Some more pictures from today's lunchtime walk which included a swing past the tractor shed... Note that this is not an easy weldment and it was a somewhat time-consuming job to get this on the tractor as it all just fit. You would likely be better off not making a one-piece weldment. You...

I'll get some detailed ones today; here's a sample of the rops on my 4wd b5100.
