    The suck bucket

    What make & model of vacuum are you using? Asking in a good way, sounds like a good one. If the bucket is collapsing, consider making a custom fit wire frame to put inside the bucket like an upside down tomato cage. A few minutes with 3/16 or 1/4 solid mild round stock and a mig welder would...

    JD 410B 1985 model hydraulic question

    Others can probably help you with more specific information. In the meantime, John Deere is nice enough to publish parts diagrams of most all older models online on their site, here is a link to get you started (type 410B in the model search)...

    Hydraulic oil dyes?

    I heard of that technique here on HEF. Just to make sure you know how it goes, with the machine running, you powder the area, and keep powdering the source area where the suspected leak is, if there's a leak, it will get wet and flow, if not it stays dry, thus finding the source of your leak...

    Hydraulic oil dyes?

    Some baby powder or flour shot out of a handheld sandblaster to directionally coat the area in question might be worth considering too.

    Ford 755 12" bucket

    Instead of a narrow bucket that is hard to dump in some types of soils, someone posted a video of something like this, it seemed to work really slick: (the link is not promoting me, or anyone I know) http://www.trencherbucket.com/Page_2_WA1K.html...

    New to forum JD310B battery question

    I've got a group 49 car battery, 900 CCA, in my 1974 JD410, (same basic machine as a 310B -engine & starter motor- for the sake of this discussion) and it works fine down to about 0 degrees F, maybe colder but I haven't wanted to try - it's an open cab thing...... It took me a while do figure...

    how to remove the pin to release the hydraulic arm on the swing arm on a jd 410c

    Not to be a picker of nits, but your original post says "410C", the above post says "401C", both are legitimate JD machines but are likely a bit different structurally. Verify which one you have :). If it is a 1972, your serial number should be below (less than) 166866T (which is a JD backhoe...

    Channel or Rectangular tubing?

    The section properties are: Rectangular tube (2X6X.188 wall) = 6.33 in^4 6x8.2 = 13.1 in^4 6x10.5 = 15.2 in^4 6x13 = 17.4 in^4 So you will be twice as stiff in deflection with the 8.2 variety. I asked him about the 2x6x.250 wall and he said he will get the numbers, but it still falls short...

    Channel or Rectangular tubing?

    Ok, I'll ask him to run the numbers with 2"x 6"x.250 vs the channel which is sold lb/ft. It comes in 8.2 lb/ft, 10.5 lb/ft and 13 lb/ft. It shouldn't take much more than a day or 2, but when dealing with favors, ya know...... Standby..... :D
