Mowing requires cleaning of the big pleated outer air filters of the tractors several times a year. Have usually used a Radiator Genie wand which does a good job. Preventing maintenance on finish mower on the B26 my trusted, well used, radiator genie wand broke. Testing after maintenance had...

Precision manufacturing tele-clipper

Rust had perforated and heavily pitted the rear roller of a used flail mower I bought early this year. OEM replacement $2,000, driveline shop retube $4-600. Scrapyard 6” pipe $33. 0.188” wall. Roller was full of debris. Cut slot to remove and wash out. Used a test ring cut from pipe to...

https://a.co/d/hGIba8n Anyone have experience with this oil? Kubota oil locally is $$$$ and shipping is expensive.

Have blown three fuses in as many months. Shuts down tractor be leaves the dash lights. Restarts when replacing 5amp fuse. Top fuse on left. Confirm on fuse box lid of proper amp rating. Last time used some corrosion-X on a 10amp fuse to get her home. Nothing obvious for a short. Maybe one of...

Got us a 2021 little truck for the farm, Honda Ridgeline. Researching care found this Honda product for protecting wiring harness from getting chewed up. https://images.app.goo.gl/Hu6XCPEKWxEwGFtC9 Has layer of capsaicin to make chewing unpleasant. Many uses on the farm.

Saw 2012 L48, 256hrs, $35K, Gainesville Ga on market place. Not sure about the year as M59 started about 2008. Great piece of old iron, little plastic and pre emission.

Been nice spring like weather for several days and really catching up on some outdoor projects including some that included clearing trees. Rain expected to start in a few hours so time to deal with a big stump from a large oak that fell last spring beside an animal shed. Have worked off and on...

Want to make a spare tire carrier that will fit the stake pockets of any flatbed trailer. Support 16”, 10-14ply spare. Position either inboard with tire on deck or outboard. Bolt or clamp with lugnut size fastener to not rattle or easy to steal. Store bought types look too flimsy. Scrap pile...

Added LIPS plates to the pallet fork frame to help align attachment. 2”x7” scrap cut offs. The bigger the tractor, the harder to see sometimes. Some implement’s frames give very little clearance and are especially hard to mate on uneven ground. My 30year old grapple was especially hard...

Friend removing stumps over and around buried utility lines showed me the advantage of a grading or toothless backhoe bucket. Lot less risk of hooking or damaging buried lines. The QA buckets for the B26 have bolt on teeth so it was easy to remove three from the 12” bucket. Yesterday repaired...

Got another leak. 80 year old black iron pipe crosses under the driveway in a half mile line. Of course happens in the worst time. Studying bucket designs especially for working around utilities. Unbolted the teeth from the 12” B26 bucket. Has a flat cutting bar. Hope less chance of hooking...

Picked up a used Winco 10kW pto generator. Fixing up a 3pt carryall to mount it on. Careful measuring to keep the driveline level with either tractor. Using from most materials on hand. Letting paint dry.

Painted the 25 year old Brown tree cutter. Years of use and stored outside with clippings had serious pitting rust. Drilled a drain hole, used a rust converter primer and top coated with Rustoleum safety red spray can paint. Mowed the once a year cut to the fallow pastures with the cutter...

When Danuser fist came out with their tree puller design I thought it could me very useful. Grow trees like weeds on our mostly wooded farm. The tines lock together with a tab and pocket for excavating. Problem is that pocket can get packed with dirt, gravel and wood enough to keep the tines...

Had a sneaky limb push up my tailpipe while pilling up brush. A support strut ripped about a quarter size hole where it was welded in the tube. Bought a $10, SS 2” band exhaust clamp. Welded a tab on the strut to match the bolt holes. Made for a sturdy repair.

Anyone using a 3pt Brown tree cutter? Picked up a 5’ to use with the M59. Will use an overrunning pto clutch because of massive inertia of the cutter disk.

Making bigger pads for the B26 backhoe. Bought used and came with the optional rubber pads. Never had rubber pads before a surprised how well they gripped and extra height, 2.7”. Still would sink on soft ground. OEM pads 10”X10”. MEGA pads 18”X16”. Rubber and steel cleats. 3”x3” angle and 2”...

Saying goodbye to our 6’ disk. Known it for 50 years of its approximate 60 year life. Greased it one last time. No more hay or livestock in my future. $800. See similar for $200-$2500. Farmers COOP used to carry every part. Rocky ground hard on the pans. If I remember right replacement pans were...

Liked the guards on the M59. Protects against rocks and inadvertent bucket strikes. Added steps that really helped climbing up and down. M59 outrigger Used 5” x 17” long square tubing cutting in half long ways. 1.5” and 2” flatbar for slides. One of four steps. Cylinder perches that will...
