[QUOTE=Murf;181398] We've never had any luck with lights on the ROPS anywhere, invariably they lead a short life. Branches never hit square on, they still get hit, even inside the ROPS......[/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
I have had my lights on the ROPS since 2004, and when they were first installed I had them clamped on the outside ... and yes even though I only have branches on the perimeter of my property, they got snagged, bent or broken just as Murf said...<br>
<br>
So now I have them mounted on the inside of the ROPS, one forward one rearward. They are a must have for me.. the loader and blower make the regular lights useless... It is a simple install and the aim stays right and never moves... I think the magnet ones might move with vibration .. particularly on a folding ROPS...<br>

You can see that the mount is nothing fancy just a "U" that fits over the ROPS bar and an "L" bracket with self locking nuts. You can see the twists in it from prevous snags when mounted on the outside.<br>

My son is 16 and he wanted to go shopping on black Friday which we did not as I want no part in the crazy people it brings out nor the merchants who encourage this nutso behavior.<br>
<br>
If you missed this on the news.... here goes:<br>
<br>
[i]Black Friday holiday shopping got off to a violent start as officials said a woman unleashed pepper spray on fellow shoppers late Thursday night at the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch.<br>
<br>
In what officials called a "shopping rage," the unidentified woman, trying to as snag more discounted merchandise, attacked 20 customers, including children, minutes after the store opened at 10 p.m.<br>
<br>
Her "competitive-shopping" strategy, used in several parts of the store, left victims with minor skin and eye irritation and sore throats, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department official.<br>

There is one that keeps making the local circuit which just makes me think has a base to it.

During a trial this elderly lady is on the stand and one of the attorneys ask if she knows him. To which she says yes I know you. You are drunk, cheat on your wife and lie. Startled he finally ask does she know the other attorney to which she goes yes and then list his sins which are also many and as terrbile. The judge at once demands both to meet in his Chambers to which he tells them if either ask if she knows me I will see to it you are disbarred.

It is my understanding they build some of the New Holland tractors. Maybe this is one that will match and they can help you.

The real sad part of this is that was a typo for Murf but Washington would believe it was possible. Collect 1 dollar and you can spend 8. bout their math. "Jeff for president"!

[QUOTE=wuntun;181408] Dennis, is there anyway we can get the spam and trolls out of the classifieds? I mean really, if i could actually buy a 2010 Razor or 2004 4710 loaded for $3400 i would be driving there now. How about the2008 John Deere 2305 TLB 4WD for $2700 ..... why has that not sold already? Because it does not exist. We KNOW this, but need to do something about it. Can a mass email party be organized by us to bombard this scum [ALL members send one email each (or more)asking bogus questions] at a predetermined time and date? [/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
I deleted those posts.... Besides the 10 cents on the dollar price and free shipping these usually have the in US dollars flag as well.

I too have a Long. A 2360 with the same issue. I did find a lever to the right ("passenger side") of the valve body under the seat. Moving this up helped a lot but still very slow. The lever is about 2" long and movies up and down. I will try to post a picture if you think this would help. I can't find the fill plug for mine. The transmission fill is right in the middle but it looks, and from previous entry is, separate from the hydraulics. I too could use some help with this as there is no dealer in my area.

Is this a new or old problem? Have you drained and put in fresh fuel? This ethanol crap only lasts a couple of weeks.

Yes, it's behind the front plate. You need to get a special puller to pull the clutch. Try to borrow one from a dealer.

[QUOTE=auerbach;178792] ...oil dripped out and could have lost my engine. But hey I saved $2 on the filter. [/QUOTE]

I am not a fan of Fram, they weaseled their way into the market offering only cheaper filters a few years ago, and then after they locked up the market, they started offering mostly more expensive HD extra duty filters at 3X the price. So there was very little price difference than buying from a tractor dealer other than the convenience factor.

I think you have a 4 wheel drive. If you use the four wheel drive, you must use the same tire as the tractor came with because the rear and front gearing is matched. You could cause expensive damage using 4 wheel drive with the wrong front tires. I dont know what the best buy on these tires is but Mark at 641.710.2289 may be able to give you information on best brand for the $. If you are NOT going to use four wheel drive, he may know the cheapest way to go. good luck

[QUOTE=earthwks;181405] Dennis "Lynn" was here a few weeks ago spamming with other products they make. [/QUOTE]

Lynn, is that a female or male name? Or could it be their name like: Lonking Yellow Massive Machines. That could be a forum name only.

Sort of like Murf: Military Uncle Retired Fighter. Okay know that is not where Murf came from. But fits right? Hey Murf you can fill in what you want to. Just thinking about what Jeff really means. Junior Equipment ? ?

Well to work, had my daily chuckle! Thanks men.

Skip it has been about two years or maybe three since I first posted there. Think you had to answer questions on other threads something like 5 times before you could start your own thread or ask your own question again best memory is.

At the time I really used that site was surprised at the number of dealers and people from outside the US on there. I find it very interesting the difference in terms from yes region to region of North America but when you cross the ponds, it can be interesting. By far their strength is big iron but they were good on helping me with tiny iron. There was a dealership in Knoxville that was great to me. Part of it had to do with we both like Orange football teams just different shades.

You are most welcome for the link. Hope it serves you well. KT

I have turfs on my NH tc33d and am happy with them. If your into mud, turfs will fill with mud and turn them to giant slicks. R4s are bad on anything hard and slick like ice or greasy mud on frozen or hard pack. Winter tires for a car have sipes in the tread and the R4s have no sipes. The turfs ride smoother too.

Dennis can you take me off the smart phone service and returm me back to the old system. One big reason is whenever I use my "back arrow" I have press it two or three times per posting in a thread. And the last posting it the bottom instead of at the top unlike the old system. Thanks in advance.

I know the original post was several years ago but the one I was replying to was posted just the other day about a 2010 Steiner.
