    Buying several Kubota tractors, building a Camp, and maintaining 69 acres of recreational/hunting property.

    My adjoining neighbor at the recreational property is also a hunter. We are both realists, we understand that the deer, bear, and other critters run across our respective property boundaries every day. So we share some of our trail camera pictures. That big buck, my neighbor got a photo of him...

    Buying several Kubota tractors, building a Camp, and maintaining 69 acres of recreational/hunting property.

    We got some good news tonight. The water well pounding guy called and said they have completed the new well for depth. It's at 100 feet depth now and has a recharge rate of better than 26 gallons per minute. His equipment for measuring the well recharge rate is maxed out at 24 - 25 gallons per...

    Agreed, that is a clean & convenient setup for the turbo drain. Nice job!

    I know curiosity killed the cat, but I have to ask the question. If the engine oil dipstick tube is now used for the turbo drain hose, how would a tractor owner check the engine oil level after the upgrade?

    Steering on a BX 2360

    Having the weight on the front wheels (NOT jacked up) will help isolate inner/outer tie rod looseness. You'll still need to jack up the front end for checking front wheel bearing and steering knuckle looseness. I have changed one inner/outer tie rod assembly on my BX 25. They are not...

    Steering on a BX 2360

    The first thing about a BX 2360, there is no "steering box" on the machine. There is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels. The only connection from up front to the steering wheel/valve is several hydraulic pipes/hoses. With the engine off, the steering valve...

    Milling on the lathe

    Paul, My lathe has one of those milling machine attachments that mounts on the toolpost/carriage. It's better than nothing, but in my experience, they aren't very rigid. They do however, outperform files and chisels. :)

    Milling on the lathe

    It was probably 20 years ago when I started looking for a Bridgeport "J" head vertical mill. I had worked long enough in that industry to realize that the rotary dial type variable speed units were expensive, and the heads were expensive to rebuild. So I started going to auctions and looking...

    Buying several Kubota tractors, building a Camp, and maintaining 69 acres of recreational/hunting property.

    We ordered an aluminum door threshold ramp off of Amazon today. 34" wide and usable in height from 2-3/4" up to 3-1/4" while ours measured exactly 3-1/4" high. We accurately measured the cabin on Sunday for the Rock Wool insulation purchase. The first floor and the second story end walls are...

    BX2360 Instrument Panel Issues

    The original instrument clusters are obsolete and unavailable. Used & good is a very slim possibility. Check that the instrument cluster plug has voltage and ground. Test all the fuses. They are also famous for corroding the pins in the cluster (where the connector plugs onto the back side)...

    2013 BX 2370 intermittently blowing the timer/relay fuse. It's highly intermittent.

    I mowed today at the house. Before I started the BX 2370, I unplugged the engine stop solenoid. The fuse that has popped twice is in the lower right corner of the fuse box. 10 Amps. Labeled Timer/Relay. Looking at the second schematic, that 10 Amp fuse doesn't appear to directly power the engine...
