Amen Brother….Words to live by. (y) I only go 1/4 to 1/3 turn, past contact. In 40+ years I have never had a filter “fall off”. I have however, had to use “air chisels” to remove oil filters when some dummkopf, “Gorilla Torqued” them on……

Wow!!!!! Thats a lot of damage. My SIL said to use “dryer sheets” at the cottage in our portable ice shanties, and I did…….but I am not 100% sure/convinced of the effectiveness. The neighbor has cats and chickens that we “welcome”….I like watching the cats hunt and love feeding the chickens...

Are these leaks on “straight” parts of the line, or bends……or both? I suppose that either way, you don’t have a lot to lose at this point. Like @TheOldHokie said, go with a quality hose and see if that helps. You might even be able to “fish” the hose through?…..saving time on replacement.

At the risk of sounding like “Captain Obvious”, swinging the BH will buy you some room. I regularly tow my 2501 with the BH on a 16 foot trailer. and it fits if I have a little "over hang” of the bucket or grapple.

Nice job! I made a couple of these to clamp mine on with. Pretty simple, yet very sturdy. I did not like the idea of drilling into my new (at the time) tractor. Used an old “inner tube” between them to prevent “chaffing”.

Welcome aboard sir. Sounds like your pretty talented, so you should fit in well here. Lots of good info (and talent) on this board. (y)

I know nothing about those braking systems, but I want the “tipping story”.

It's so someone won't steal them.;)

"Amen" to this. And if you want to avoid "leakdown", get a DPOCV on the cylinder BEFORE you buy one. Damn near impossible to retrofit one. (ask me how I know ;))

I don’t have time to read the replies right now, but one thing that concerned me was the way the ripper teeth are attached. Personally, I would not have one that takes “special clips” to hold the shanks in place. I would only buy one that uses simple “pins” to hold the teeth in place. I...

Very cool. How much does it weigh?

The first thing I would do Devil Dog, is to verify where the leak is coming from. I know nothing about your particular tractor, but I can’t tell you how many times I have “thought” a leak was one thing, and it turned out to be another. Wash/degrease it real good, then have someone start it...

Thats crazy. I have never seen a metal line burst/leak solely from an "over-pressure” condition….especially twice. I’m not saying that it can’t happen, but I would be looking at some sort of “other” cause. Is the line being subjected to unusual vibration, or motion that is causing it to...

What convinced me, was actually going on a cruise…... I was so damn bored, I wanted to jump over the railing just have something to do……….. Not to mention you're trapped with 50,000 screaming kids, and 20,000 people that should NOT be wearing bikinis……but are.

Hahah….BTDT. I bought one of their 20 ton kits. It was a cool build. Taking a break from “thinking” was nice. Kind of like building a model when I was a kid, but with a welder instead of glue. My next brake will be a “Tennsmith Box and Pan” style brake.

Wow….thats gonna be one nice brake for sure. (Side note….I wish we would start using the metric system……Well maybe Jimmy Carter will finally come through on his campaign promise….;).)

Think so?…….Just wait until I buy my “Bridgeport" ;)

Thank you for the kind sentiment, and nice job on the write up and your solution. Does that "secondary boss” get a nut on the backside, or is it held in place by tension?

Very cool man. Where did you get the “V” part, and is it solid? What is the width of it?
