    L4701 HST range lever

    I myself am a big guy and had the same problem with the range lever on my 2501.I took a couple of adjustable wrenches and bent the lever ,above the lever guide,toward the fender to a 45 degree angle and problem was solved.I did this in the first hour of ownership.

    50 Hour Maintenance Done Today

    I think I got lucky with my filters ,as they were not overly tight.I also had just a small amount of metal dust on magnet and just a hint of some brass dust in drain pan.I think it looked good all around ,for the break-in oil change.

    How well does the L2501 steer with a load on the loader?

    I don't have a lot of hours on my 2501,but mine steers very well with a load.Without ballast the loader will easily out lift the tractor,very good loader.

    Disc harrow question, pull type or 3pt

    Look around for an old floating hitch Ford/Dearborn disc.I find it is the best of both worlds.It has the convenience of being 3pt ,but when it is in the dirt ,it floats and contours to the ground like a good pull type because the 3 pt is floating around and just "pulling" the disc.The top link...

    Hand Controls for a L2501

    This may be too simple thinking on my part,but could the pedal be removed and a simple piece of flat bar bolted in its place to make a lever forward/reverse? Full speed of hst might not remain but at least the tractor could be used,not in a speedy process using loader but it would be usable at...
