    Tractor died while dumping loader bucket

    Just spitballing here but if it just quit running in the middle of a dump, that sounds like a fuel issue to me. Check the usual suspects for fuel issues. Check for clogged filter, low or no fuel, fuel pump, etc. Maybe crack one of the injector lines and see if fuel is getting to them. Also, if...

    New BX 1880 Owner

    I have been using barbell weights for ballast for many years. It is really compact and provides excellent ballast on these small BX tractors. I have 360 pounds of weights, plus the bar on mine. If you move those two heaviest weights on your tractor to the far edges of the bar you will gain...

    Tools you want to brag about?

    There are various nuts and bolts on some early Ford vehicles and engines. In the case for me, there is a grease cup on the U-Joint that is a 19/32" to tighten it. There are also a few original nuts on the car that are still 19/32" The only way that I can differentiate them from a 5/8" nut is by...

    Tools you want to brag about?

    I still have one of those. I have to occasionally use it on my 1922 Ford Model T.

    SideCar Flip ?

    I know that was him. I used to chat with him on the S&W forum but I have not been on that one for quite some time. I am sorry that he passed. I liked him. I think I am one of the few on this forum that did.

    Camera Review....

    I found the cable to be rigid enough to guide it for the length of about 12 inches or so, but flexible enough to manipulate the camera to view what I needed to. I did not use it further than the 12 inches that I needed, so I cannot comment on how it would perform on longer length runs. I hope...

    Found off-road diesel

    My understanding is that vehicles used for farming are exempt from road use taxes. Some states even have special license plates to identify farm trucks. Also, if you are using on-road (taxed) diesel in a farm truck you can deduct the taxed portion of the fuel you use on your federal income...

    Daily Chuckle

    I just got mine today too. The picture is great. I tried it down my kitchen sink and it shows great detail. I noticed that the sticker on the back of the unit says not for medical use. I wonder why that is there? :LOL:

    Daily Chuckle

    I saw that there are 482 ratings with a 4.6 average on Amazon. That many people cannot be wrong!

    2008 Kubota BX23 engine in BX25 Temp Gauge Stuck pinned HOT

    I remember reading several years ago that one member replaced an older dash with a newer model dash because he liked the newer model gauges. IIRC, he changed a BXxx60 model to a BXxx70 model dash. I don't remember all the specifics but my question is; could you replace your whole dash with a...
