Where is your step to get into the tractor? Was it where the tool box was?

Congrats, you now have the cleanest, most greasiest, pin all of america ! I had tears in my eyes laughing when all that grease was pouring out the only place you could not see. Anybody who has done much greasing can totally relate. Man I hate greasing.

Did you mean to not tighten the chain.

Found this video after yours: czcams.com/video/SLmwspfI_KA/video.html Regarding your valve bracket situation, it appears the bend is designed for when there is a step installed (with cab). This spaces the valve bracket outboard, allowing the inboard quick-connect to clear the loader valve body.

You complain alot

Helpful video. Subscribed 👍🏻Looking to do the same, what type of steel flat stock did you use for the new arms? Hot Roll? Thank you.

Next time you should use something like a nail file and clean sawdust out of the chain track of the bar. It will keep oil flowing better to chain

Nice video thank you. I got one coming and I think they told me six months. I hate the wait time but the part that stings the most is that they require the entire amount paid in full the day you order six months in advance. Most successful companies seems like only require a down payment 10 or 25%. Then if you don’t pick it up, they’ve got 1000 people waiting for it and they just got your free 25% down. I justified the sting due to the good reports about this grapple. I’m looking forward to receiving it.

I had the same light and everything worked itself out. I looked in the manual and I just don't see the first temp light by the regen but now I know what to expect. Thanks for the video!

Just found your channel and I have to save you are a very inspiring and humble guy. Found myself reading one of your comments on a 3-d printing tips vid, and fell inlove with your channel! Hope to see you post more vids. Enjoy the New Year!

We just had a conversation on tbn chat about loader flex (I have an MT3 57). Somehow I had missed this particular video in the past, so I thought I would share some quick info about my dash. About 6 months after buying my tractor, (2022 MT357HC), my dash did the same exact thing. I also had noticed that since the tractor was new, the battery just didn't seem to be quite up to par. I felt it cranked a little weak. So I made the decision to replace the battery with a brand new Super Start with more CCA's. Long story short, it has not happened again with the new battery. I can't help but to think low voltage has something to do with it. With my old battery, when my glow plugs were heating, the voltage would drop down to like 9.5 volts before starting. With the new battery, the voltage drops to around 11 volts after plugs heat. Running voltage is around 13.5.

Hi, @27:27, it seems that you have a nut near the piston, inside the exhaust tube.

My MS 391 has been a problem child but it’s easy to work on and parts are available so I don’t want to bitch! I’m almost done cutting trees so when I’m done someone else can work it!

FORD flail mower from the 1960's had the best setup for connecting the lift arms. No need for any modifications. Knife and Fork arrangement, simple

My 391 is a beast

great video, i have the same saw and it has been a stubborn pain in the ass since day 1. Hard starting unreliable compared to my ms362. Now no spark, changed ignition coil (gap .020),with new OEM part for the serial number (round air cleaner versus rectangular) new spark plug gap 020. And still will not start. Only thing I have nor done is new gas, but the 362 uses same juice and runs great. Makes you want to toss the SOB in the garbage.Guess maybe time to take it to the dealer.

The timer is fine, and the engine heater is fine ! Don't overanalyze everything

Thank for your service, and congrats on your new house. You became my "neighbor" now living in Idaho. I agree, the coastal states and doogooders are getting out of hand with running the ordinary citizens lives. I was born and grew up in a European socialist state, and I do not want guberment to ever run my life again. This seem to be a faction to turn the US of A into one. Anyway, looking forward to see how the new property will turn out? - Ron

How was your power beyond labeled on your tractor valve? w

Amazing that a company can sell a 1000$ product and offer virtually no warranty, and it breaks inside of a year of ownership. Good to know WR Long doesnt stand behind their product.

I’d like to see a video on the hooks below that grille guard!

Take your water truck to a Fire abatement company, or maybe an independent fire station. If a fire department would want it, just be prepared to not get wha you want, they love to take taxes, but, will not want to pay market value for anything, with the excuse, they are using taxpayer dollars. But, will spend excessive dollars on stupid conferences, etc. Good luck in your new ventures!

You're going to be fine.

Love your new place!! Best thing about it is, it's in a red state! I have heard lots of former Californians have moved there. I just found your channel, you just kind of popped up and I like tractors so thought I'd watch. Then you started talking about how Washington state was and I knew you were my kind of people, so I subscribed. We are in Texas, been here for 40+ years, I moved here from Michigan and my husband is from upstate New York. We met here in 2000. We both love Texas and it's home now. When I retired we moved from Cleburne 100 miles southwest to Deleon where we are surrounded by cattle country. We have 17 acres here we bought in 2006 and worked on it 8 years before moving here. We built our house and a small shop for my husband. I love your huge shop! What a great asset to have! I'm excited to see inside the house when you're ready to show it!

Congrats to you and your family! Your new place is really nice! I can appreciate your love of flat surfaces with bad knees! Hope you’ll be able to get them replaced soon! We raised our family in Idaho and two of our sons and their families are still there….even though we keep trying to get them to Montana😂

Good video

I pay the same amount of property tax but I only have 2 1/2 acres, no town water or sewer, no street lights or sidewalks, no children (schools are largest part of tax rate) and no trash pick up. Good luck to you and your family.

😢 I have a off grid house in ga they are going up on land taxis I won't to move to Alabama low taxes

Love the rant

I have a couple questions, I am just getting into these engines and want to learn things the right way. I am looking for upgrades that improve the functionality of the saw without compromising reliability. I am watching this with subtitles in a starbucks rn so I may have missed you talking about it but how do you feel about plugging the decompression valve? Also, when porting, how do you calculate your timing numbers? Porting is something that I am hesitant to start until I can understand how to quantify the amounts I want to remove.

Tractor Innovations has fully mechanical diverter kits. They are cheaper, easier to install, and have no electronics to fail. Simpler is better when it comes to hydraulics.

Not sure if anyone else caught it but your bar was already upside down before you to it off. So you didnt actually rotate it on this service lol.

I almost gave you a thumbs down because of the annoying violin sound in the background. I was trying to hear what you were saying but was struggling because of your annoying background “so called music”!

What were the dims on your top link? (I.E. 2” x 12”)

Short Info for you: The LA hole stands for LeerlaufAnschlag (German for idle stop ;))

On your fuel gelling. Add a double dose of your power service. Look on the back of the bottle and it will tell you when you need it. Also for you in the winter I would run nothing but #1 fuel I only run #1 fuel but for us-20 is not all that cold. Welcome back. I am some what on hiatus on my channel do to health problems.

Welcome back! You've provided me a lot of useful information in the past and I look forward to getting more.

No need for bloopers

After my new LS XR4150 with TB one lane cutter was delivered, it was instantly discovered that the factory grill guard was not compatible with the cutter. Luckily I can weld and fabricate. I made a new guard that is easily removable and has mesh screen that protects radiator from penetration way better.

I was just thinking the muffler “caps” might be there to retain the screws in case they vibrate loose?

Too much pressure on the pin. Also with the tool, I like to loosen the attachment piece, fill it, put in on the zirc, then tighten it down. Tap tap tap away. Tends to work for me but everyone knows how big a pain in the ass a bad grease port is.

I put an older Fisher plow on the front of my XR4140. It still has left/right functions using the rear outputs along with all normal bucket type movment. I have a gravel road and crushed rock driveway as well. I'd love to show you my setup. Works amazing, and uses the quick attach for easy mounting.

I used a frost plug heater in my XR4140 (I live in Maine). I run the block heater, a battery heating pad, and NOCO 2A direct mount battery charger, BUT I have them all plugged into a tempurature based triple plug so its only really on when temps are below 20, and turns back off when temps are above freezing.

I'll have to check. I normally am not in the tractor (2017 XR4140HC) during startup, I installed a remote start in it and normally start it up and let it warm up before I head out to it.

I'm not liking all these broken ls tractors

Great video, no worries on the voice over. Hydraulic Top Link is a must have. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoy your videos Nick. I like my LS MT342HC. The problem with LS is the dealer network. Some of the dealers will not work on your tractor if you bought it from a different dealer. I Have even had a dealer tell me that if I buy an implement from him he would service the implement but never my tractor because I didn't buy it from him. Had I known that was the way some dealers are I never would have purchased an LS. As it is I'm 2 hours from dealer service. Another is LS customer service or the lack thereof. You can send an email and wait for weeks for an answer. Not good. I have the same trouble you had with the wheels locking up on the loader frame. In the Loader Manual, page 28, it notifies the dealer to install the longer bolts when assembling the loader. They identify is as a M12, 1.75P x 65L. Guess what? It's actually a M10, 1.50P. And no one has a 65mm long bolt. Also the original bolt head is rounded on the top which contacts the stop much better than a flat top bolt . I called the dealer to get the correct bolts and he told me I could have a whole bucket of them. Of course they are M12 as that is what LS is shipping to the dealers. LS should be smarter than that. But keep up the good work. You're one of the best out there.

What size wrench

I don't know if it was said by someone else, but the small plastic piece for summer/winter mode is designed to be flipped over and put back in the saw. You will notice one side has a sun (summer) and the other a snowflake (winter). Great video overall, just got a 391 myself!
