    My HST 7100 upgrades

    Re: My B7100 HST upgrades The front tires were do for a change as it kept sliding more then I wanted. The search for good 20.5 x 8-10 front tires is a joke. Thanks to this thread here http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1956&page=2 My mind was made up. I ordered...

    My HST 7100 upgrades

    Re: My B7100 HST upgrades It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with the headlights as the original sockets disintegrated like many of this vintage do . The options I thought of were to find a good used set or after market lights and then upgrade to led bulbs or just modify the...

    My HST 7100 upgrades

    My B7100 HST upgrades When using a 23yr old piece of equipment things tend to get worn out or just outdated. Now this machine is amazing in many ways, with the quality of parts used compared to today's stuff, but there is always room for some improvement. I will document a few items that I...

    B7100 HST 3 point lift stops going up early.

    Thanks Torch for the comparison picture. That was my ah ha moment (and a 2x4 upside the head). I don't know why I was trying to overthink the whole situation but that's what we do. :)

    B7100 HST 3 point lift stops going up early.

    Yep that was the trick. ;) not sure why they were set too close, but that was the winner. Thanks for the awesome feedback. This is why I waited to tear down, just to make sure it wasn't something stupid like having your lock nuts too close. :)

    1. Rear view - this is as far as the arms will raise up. 2. This is where the pump starts whining - not touching the adjustable locks. Side note: there is no load on this in the front either. I think something is wrong in the relief valve area the way it sounds now.
