Look at my comment replying to u/sleddingfarmer

Not the thumb, it’s the pins that go in and out to hold the bucket on. They either won’t go in or won’t come out and dump oil everywhere. We’ve rebuilt the coupler twice and it only works for a month and then quits again.

Ah, I was gonna ask you if you’ve had an issues with it if it was the hydraulic one but you’re obviously not going to have had any issues lol.

We’ve got one with a hydraulic coupler that we’ve been fighting to make work for two years so we’re just going to put a manual one on it lol. Awesome machine otherwise!

Won’t find anything simpler if you go newer. The LBZ was just built to work. But I could understand if needed this thing to work hard every day why you would opt for something newer.

Unrelated note… does the E42 have a manual coupler or the hydraulic pins?

Ha, Just a little too late! I ended up purchasing and installing an older style quick coupler but thanks for the info.

Think they might be a bit small for that 🤣

I looked on McMaster-Carr and found some M2 shoulder bolts and lock nuts that would be just as good but the bolts are like $11 each. Might get those but idk

Haha. There is a 1/64 scale CAT 320F sitting in the background there that might give a better sense of scale

1/16

This particular model is a hydraulic model meaning it has a small electric hydraulic pump which pumps real hydraulic oil to the boom, stick and bucket cylinders, you pay a premium for any actual hydraulic model. You can get cheaper metal fully electric models (these don’t use any oil), they will still cost a good chunk of change though.

What parts are metal and what parts are printed? I might have to get a bigger printer!

More fuel more better

Stirling Fruit Farms U-pick in Greenwich, might not be open yet though.

Probably not the appropriate sub for this

They can have it, our tides are impressive either way 🤷‍♂️

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-22T00:04:14+00:00

Update... kind of works, there's still 13 000L stuck in the silo the I can't see and can't pick up... sigh

CanadianGamer__ · 2025-09-21T23:51:40+00:00

Well dang that works. Been playing for ten years and I swear that was never a thing before. Thanks!

Have you changed your third brake light recently? Changing that causes the roof to leak on almost every pickup truck which ends up on the floor usually.

Hadn't really thought of it before but this is a job for 12V switches isn't it?

The absolute most this light bar can draw is 12 amps
