That does not sound to be to bad of a job except if everything is all rusted up. It will have to wait to I have a day off work, probably next week and pull it in. I used the skid today to bring wood in and the temp outside was about 45 degrees and the pedals worked better but still stiff. Thanks...

Last winter when it got really cold I had problems with the foot pedals on my L175 sticking. They got better as the machine warmed up. They stayed kind of stiff all summer but not as bad. Now the pedal on the left to raise and lower the boom is very stiff. The right pedal is not as bad. Is there...

I cant really help you with the enclosure question but as for the tire chains I bought a set from my local New Holland dealer last year and they work great!! My driveway is mostly hill and no more spinning! I have a L175 and there is no clearance problems. But if you have any loose links just...

Thanks for the help! I will try to work out some time to check it today. T-R

I am gonna do a look over on the skiddy in the next couple of days. The owners manual says to check the chain case oil at the recessed plug between the wheels. The manual calls it the drain plug. My question is is this correct because it seems like it is very low on the tank? T-R

I will give that a try when i get a few extra minutes. I did notice that the right side plate looks to be slid most of the way forward. I will lift the seat and check everything there too. T-R

I dont know a whole lot about the inner workings of a skid so i am not sure what is involved in swapping the motors. I am hoping someone can give me some help! Do I need to jack the cab up or just lift the seat? T-R

Something to consider is tire chains. Bought a set for my L175 and they make a huge difference. T-R

I have an 2008 L175 with a little over 3000 hrs on it and the right side drive is slower than the left.It looks like the drive lever is adjusted most of the way forward. Is the drive motor going bad? Any other adjustment I can do? How much is a new drive motor? T-R

Anyone know if there is anywhere to download or buy a service or repair manual for my NH L175. It is a 2008 with 2 speed. Thanks T-R

I got my skid on a trade deal and are not sure if they come with a rear veiw mirror. I would like to put something on it so its easier to see when backing up around cars and houses .The machine is a NH L175. I am looking for some recommendations on what to get and where to get one or what ya'll...

That thing is awsome!! I love it! T-R

I know this post is a little old, but I was wondering if the project was completed and how it works and if you have any pics? T-R

The hoses do look a little short in the pics but there is plenty of slack. Must be the way they are laying or something. The enclosed cab is kinda nice! The last couple of years I plowed with my ATV and it can get a bit cold when you spend 3hrs plowing. Now I can get it done in about 30 minutes...
