    Has anyone noticed or did I miss domething?

    Has anyone noticed or did I miss something? I bought a 5K generator with a blown engine and didn't even think about it. I was going to replace the engine with a Yanmar knock off but when I went to get one they are no longer for sale. My (bust my b****) Harbor Freight salesman said they had to...

    Water wetter? Thoughts?

    I have B2710 with a MMM. When running it in high gear at near PTO speed the engine slowly creeps up to really hot. If I stop and let it idle for 15 minutes it will go right back to normal. I'm wondering if a product like Water Wetter will keep her running cool. I made a V-8 S-10 in 1990 and...

    radiator drain plug replacement

    This is an L35. Here is the OEM part number:34070-16070. Using the machine the other day I was standing next to it and noticed all the coolant dumping onto the ground. Not only had the drain come out it actually took the threaded nipple with it. A new radiator assembly is nearly $600 U.S. So...

    Please be objective, please

    I am thinking of selling my L35 and buying one of these: http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_see_tractor.php It will probably never leave the farm and is twice as powerful on all fronts. Actually it is 110 hp. They can be had for about the value of the L35 and they have a fully heated cab...

    How would you lock the loader in the fully upright position.

    The reason I am asking is that my L35 spit the radiator drain plug on the ground last weekend and unlike most rigs it has no pop-up anything. I will need to cross in front of it many times to get the body work off etc. I really don't want to risk passing under the loader a hundred times waiting...

    L35 returns and a off topic question

    For those who didn't follow my previous threads, I have an L35 that was contaminated with water in the hydraulic fluid and I had bacteria in it. I have killed the bacteria and most of the water is out through usage and fluid changes. As it turns out I have a model right about the transition...

    Personal Redirect to: Water in the hydraulic fluid

    All, Starting a new thread because I have drained the fluid, found I was missing the stupid O-Ring on the fluid fill plug and most horrifying was that the two plugs under the differential drained out almost a LIME green fluid. So as a advocate of these machines I now have a new problem. I...

    L35/BT900 Hydraulic Working Pressure

    So I have a L35 I bought used and all seemed well. I proceeded to dig up my first stump and noticed a stream/drip of pancake batter looking oil running down from the control valve. The water in the hydraulics is another topic coming soon. Some investigation later I found the main pressure...

    New to L35, need some help

    I recently purchased an 800 hour plus L35 from a farmer who has unfortunately passed. I am thrilled to own this mean machine but I have some issues I am hoping can easily be overcome. First the family, read lawyer, has no idea where the three point hitch is. I need it as this is my primary...
