    Leaf Vacuum Hose

    I have a Trac-Vac 1080, monster of a machine, and I need a new 8" diameter x 10' long flexible hose that goes from the discharge on the mower to the suction side of the blower housing. A factory replacement part is $280 and I drive 10 minutes from my house to pick it up, no shipping charge. I...

    BX Implements

    I Found a guy local to me that upped to a L series so he is getting rid of his BX implements. I am 99% sure this is a good deal, but just want to throw it out there for confirmation. All are 4 years old except landscape rake, which is 18 months old. King Kutter 48" Cut Bush Hog - No leaks...

    BX Front Tires

    Finally got my BX2200 going and noticed that the front tires are really squishy, especially on turns with weight in the loader. Got to looking, and the idiot before me put 2 plys on there :eek: My question is this: the tractor came with 4 plys but my tire guy can order me 8 plys for about $50...

    Used BX2200

    I have been looking at getting rid of my L260 and trying to find a newer tractor with a loader. I came across a pretty beat up BX 2200 that I may be able to get pretty cheap. I basically have three questions: 1. How much can a 22hp BX accomplish? Loader capabilities? 2. How robust are the...

    Filthy Bloodsuckers

    After the mild wet winter, we already have mosquitos in our area, about a month and a half earlier than normal. They were bad here last year, they were so thick we would be eaten alive no matter how much spray we had, and its looking to be even worse this year. We bought this property with the...

    Bringing an Old L260 Back to Life

    So I have posted each individual problem with my tractor and someone requested in another thread some pictures of what I have done, so in the spirit of the L175 thread, I thought I would start a new thread showing the life of my old L260. See below for multiple posts.

    Model 1200 FEL

    Hey everybody, I have found reference to people using a model 1200 loader on L260s but whenever I find them for sale, they list L245dt and others but NOT L260. I work at a machine shop and have access to fabrication equipment, do you think a loader like this could be made to work for me...

    Dirt or Pond Scoop

    Hey all, the L260 is almost ready to be put back on the frontlines for active duty. I don't have a FEL and need to move some dirt and stone this summer. For about the price of renting a skid steer for the weekend, I am looking at purchasing a rear dirt scoop, sometimes referred to as a pond...

    L260 Transmission Parts

    Hey All! I have a 70's L260 and I blew a bearing in the transmission. I split the case yesterday and almost have the transmission and differential disassembled. All of the bearings have wear/rough spots from the many years of sitting and neglect from the previous owner and I would like to...

    Problems with an old L260

    i recently aquired a 1972 L260, with the Z1300 two cylinder. It was in an estate sale and the owner's widow wasn't able to provide me with much information on the machine except that it sat for the past few years while her husband was undergoing cancer treatments. We trailered it home and i...
