Last weekend I made some attachments for my front end loader. I will post some pictures that my aid others looking to do the same. <br>
<br>
First my dad and I made fork attachments by welding gussets to the sides of the bucket for a solid rod to go through. We then welded heavy pipe to back of the forks which will side on the rod. The bottom of the forks rest against the leading edge of bucket. The forks can slide anywhere between the width of the bucket. I was impressed with what a B7800 kubota would lift with the forks, I would estimate around 750 lbs. <br>
<br>
Fortunately my dad owns a fabricating shop and he helped me..................especially with the welding. <br>

Ken, My 02 Tundra 4x4 gets an honest 17 mpg in mixed driving.

I would think the Highlander would equal or surpass that.

Sometimes it takes 20,000 miles to break in a Toyota engine.

You should always change a dented filter and never install a filter that is dented. Once the filter is dented, a concentration of stress in the metal is created, making the metal more susceptible to fatigue. The pressure pulses in the oiling system put stress on the metal canister. Filters are made from low carbon steel to with stand the stress created by the pulsing of the oiling system. In other words, When you bend metal back and forth, it work hardens the metal and eventually it breaks. The softer the metal, the longer it takes to break. Low carbon steel is soft and will take more bending before it breaks. The pressure pulses in the oiling system expand and contract the filter ever so slightly. When you have a dent in a filter, the metal in the dent is strechted which makes the metal thinner and harder in the dented area, which can make this area of the filter fail.

The blade mounted that far front often pushes the front of the tractor off the snow. The loader mounted blades do have a bit of disadvantage.

I am not sure how the Ram Rods tare things up. My friend is on lawns all the time. It is certainly the lightest rig that would carry the load. But not too quickly.

Bobcat makes a rig that steers all four wheels to reduce the slipage. Naturally we are talking radically different price scales.

Here in Oregon the Biscuit fire burned 500,000 acres of old growth forest. The environmentalists have had salvage logging of hundreds of millions of board feet of timber from that burn tied up in lawsuits for years. It's probably too late now, a lot of it has rotted. What a waste.

check your male/female quick couplers,sometimes the seating snap ring in the coupler will do exactly as you described. I have had to replace both male and female couplers on my 419 and I carry a few on hand. A bad coupler will act like a leak and will not seal or apply full presure as the poppet acts as a restrictor (squeal as in a by pass/overload condition)if not seated correctly.<br>
Your by-pass /relief valve is under the seat,I will bet you have a bad male coupler in that circuit.

Thanks all for a great conversation. I actually like cutting grass (except for the hornets LOL ) It gives me time to relax and think a bit. Zero turns are out, I want a small tractor for other things like the leaf picker-upper and the trailer. (remember my TC40 is a long way away from here so I sometimes need to use a small trailer behind my riding tractor). I have decided to go for a Kohler engine (I believe they are in many lower end/mid end
JD's.) Craftsmen has a few Kohler engines BUT low and behold THEY ARE ALL gone from my state for the year! Cant find one anywhere and possible only a few sears stores still have the models I would consider. Just a bit late in the year around here for this. I am looking into Cub Cadet. Fact is I think I have found the last one at a farm and fleet by me. A bit larger than I wanted and 2hundred more than I wanted to pay but if I can get it I will be happy. Its a 20hp Kohler pro comand (one cylander only though) hydro all the toys elect lift power etc.It has a 46" deck and three blades??????? I wanted the next size smaller (19hp 42" deck and 2 blade everything else is the same) BUT they are not to be found AGAIN at this time around here. SOOOO I will pay the $1699 for the first one I described. Gotta go and try and get the store to hold it for me (OVER THE PHONE) till tomarroo)
Thanks again folks, I really enjoyed this conversation and learned alot from it as well as some others here may of also)

It is hydro. Went by and talked to the dealer today. The tractor has 177 hours. It has a fair amount of scratches and scrapes but no real dents. Probably more wear than I would have expected for the number of hours. The dealer has $12,300 in the unit and will let me have it for that, just to move it. He is a JD dealer and must not like that orange out there with all his green. Seems like a pretty good deal other than the cosmetic damage. Going to have a friend who has more knowledge to go by and look at it. Any suggestions?

Hey,
I've had mine about a year now and love it!!! One thing that comes to mind is that all the nut and bolt sizes are metric. The 5103 tractors are assembled in India.

Thanks Harvey.

Just wondered if your felt you needed caps or plugs to seal off the free hose ends and input connectors to the valve block while you removed and worked on it?

Personally I don't think the B7800 and the JD 790 can compare. The JD 790 is a tractor frame that dates back more than 20 years. It is gear drive, dry brakes, full tunnel and one frame. The only items updated are the engines and possibly the pumps.
The B7800 on the other hand is HST, modern flat deck, wet brakes and dual frame. I had the older 750 which is the same tractor with less HP and now the newer one the 955. They sold at one point with the 790, 4000 series and 955. The 955 was the most expensive. If you climb on and off the 790 a few time like you will hooking up equipment of moving items with the FEL, you will quickly see there is no comparison.
