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...

First, I already have the workshop manual. And the wiring diagrams/schematics. Second, I have several Fluke digital multimeters. And clip leads along with various jumper wires. Third, I have 20+ years experience as an ASE Master Certified Auto/Light truck technician. Doing electrical/fuel...

Yes, something will be needed for that door threshold. Amazon has a huge selection made from industrial cast rubber. I use a similar device (pair) with six inch rise for backing my Kubota into the shipping container when installing the rotary cutter. Thanks for the reminder. We are getting the...

A very good friend of my Girlfriend did a watercolor painting of the cabin and surrounding lawn. It is loosely based on this drone photo I took years ago. The painting was a Mother's Day gift. Drone photo. DJI_0065 by cee_Kamp 32ACP, on Flickr The watercolor painting here twice, with...

I agree, a vertical air compressor should never spontaneously tip over without some form of energy or momentum being applied to it for starting the tip over. But since air compressors are typically inside a building where vehicles are being worked on, maintained or repaired, the possibility of a...

"Late Wednesday, Amazon delivered the rubber pads for the compressor feet to set on. They're 4" X 4" X 1 1/4", made of hard rubber with a 1/2" hole in the center. I used a 1 1/2" Forstner bit to cut a countersunk area on the bottoms so the attaching bolts and a washer didn't rest on the floor...

Nice job on the air compressor refurbish job! Maybe I'm just overly cautious, but seeing that gigantic compressor on top of a vertical tank I worry about it tipping over. I ran a modest piece of chain under that mounting plate that the compressor and electric motor bolt onto and lagged the ends...

I didn't see or touch either Kubota BX tractor today. But the BX 2370 touched my wallet. I did 97 hours of trouble free lawn mowing with that machine last year and it needs some TLC. A quick trip out to the local Kubota dealership. Engine oil & filter. Antifreeze for a coolant change/flush. Air...

Oh, my machine did not have a sticker showing the hours on the original instrument cluster, or that the cluster had been replaced. I saw the original hours on the cluster before it was replaced, also I had photos from the Dealership website showing the original hour meter.

If your BX 25 is like my BX 25 and BX 2370, a signal wire routed from the alternator runs to the instrument cluster. That signal wire is in the large connector that plugs in the rear side of the cluster. Once that signal wire circuit is inside the instrument cluster, it splits and runs to...

We decided to leave the Cuddelink trail camera system up & operational for the entire 2026 calendar year. It costs about $1.54 per day having it operational. About $1.00 per day for the "D" cell alkaline batteries. I am getting about 80 days from a full load out. The cell data plan is running...

Thunderbird has a built in feature to export the entire data set that contains all of your saved emails, all of your email contacts, and all of your settings. It will do a export with up to 2GB of saved data and save it to the location you select. That way, if you lose everything, from a failed...
