2016 1120D. 720 miles, 180 hours. Weekends mainly, year-round. Hobby tree farm, maintaining game cams, trail maintenance.

My Grampa is buried in Begium and I've always wanted to go there. He was KIA during the battle of the Hurtgen Forest and is resting at the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery. Hope to get there before I am too old.

Thanks Doc...I think I figured it out. I use these blue paper towels in the shop. If you touch the dipstick to the towel and while also not perfect, it gives you some idea of where you are.

I checked the axle oil level on my BX2230 and noticed the dipstick is the same color as the oil. The only way to check the oil is to use your finger and I am somewhere between the normal lines. I thought about painting it some contrasting color but wasn't sure if the UDT would dissolve the...

Follow Up: Replaced the two front tires with BTK 317s, ag tread. Out the door for $144. I thought I could raise the tires off the ground with the loader but only came up a little. Had a little trouble finding a place for the floor jack but finally got her done. I mowed yesterday in preparation...

Hope it is running better now. Bet that was a relief.

Do you have mirrors? I got mine there.

Thanks FTG....that gave me a great laugh which I needed! You are 100% right. When you look at it that way, extenders make a lot of sense. Our land has lots of places that could roll my 1120 if I don't pay attention. I will read back through your thread and see if there is a size or link to...

Very nice tires. I will be interested in what stress, if any, the extender places on the axles. I have held off on spacers for my BX for that reason.

I use a Northern Tool sprayer mounted on a Honda Foreman with Ranger mixed at 3oz per gallon of water. It kills all vegetation within ten days. Multiflora rose usually takes a second application to stop it.

I had the 600 mile service done by the dealer so not certain which UDT they used. I specifically requested they grease the fitting and adjust the HST. I am confident that neither of those got done. And since I have to dig in, I wondered if there was anything else I should check.

Had a problem for years with the HST pedal not returning to neutral or center. It never bothered me much but it almost caused the Mrs. a problem last weekend. She took her foot off the pedal to set the brake and it kept moving forward. I checked the parts diagram in the service manual and I...

I have been working on gas engines most of my life and have succesfully rebuilt a few. As I roll up on retirement, I want to be able to diagnose and repair diesel problems I am likely to run into. I have both the D905 and D1105 engines. Could anyone suggest good training materials for the...

Return it to dealer for both. You don't need any finger pointing for home attempted fixes. Just my opinion of course. Not everyone has a dealer a few miles away. I do like the extra length and flexibility of that bed.
