    God dang flat face quick connects.

    possible option ?? maybe get an SSQA 'pallet fork' ? kinda sounds like you don't use the grapple too often as it's a PITA but forks are easy, 30 seconds.

    Beet juice and chains...

    re: 1 I say NO to beet juice. If you have BH on, NO beet juice ,according to Kubota. Doubt you'd need juice with BB. Stick in 4WD, low range you should be fine.. re:2 probably not. BX23s has more weight than the MTD SB AND you have 4WD. I'm on my 3rd set of E4s, no real issues with pushing snow...

    New to orange

    Lots of good info will follow BUT the most important RULE NUMBER ONE is never, EVER spray 'quick start' in your Kubota engine!!!! Rule number 2. If you disobey rule #1, you'll be buying a NEW ENGINE. Rule number 3. If you post you disobeyed rule number one , I get to type 'I TOLD YOU SO'. FYI...

    Necessary to Clean Mower Deck After Every Session?

    cleaning option 'J' . Buy or make a 'gantry' crane. That way you lift the front of the machine up and have easy, GREAT access to clean deck, r/r blades, grease spindles, etc. Many modify spindles by drilling hole for Zerk and removing the inner covers of the bearing races( essentially what the...

    Need Master Safety Interlock Relay for ZD326P

    Carefully open it up, see what's inside. Without a wiring diagram ,it's hard to KNOW what 'relay' actually means. Case is made of ABS plastic though. A picture of the 'guts' would be helpful. Have 'reversed engineered' many things over the past 4 decades.

    where to buy cylinder repair kits

    Guys running those shops must be cousins of the local shop here ! For what I was quoted to 'reseal' ONE cylinder, I bought TWO new ones, 4 adapter fittings AND had a coffee and donut as well......

    Radiator Recovery Tank leaks

    I always use my 100W Weller iron to 'weld' the crack,with lots of 'hills and valleys'. THEN use a 'plastic' rated 2 part epoxy,letting cure for at least 24 hours. Zero issues for the past 3 decades. Anything(most ?) made of plastic, generally has a triangle or other marking and the name of the...

    Wonder if anyone's used a pole boom reverse mounted on the loader to lift a cab off ?

    2004 Grand L5030 will not start

    replacing the ends is a futile effort, the cables are made of 100s of strands of very thin gauge copper and water 'wicks' into the gaps between them(it only takes a few drops..), and then begins, slow and steady from one end to the other. When you replace them, carefully slice open the sheath...

    48 inch Kubota Deck that know one can identify - RC48RTG

    Usually any 'bearing supply company' can measure your seals and bearings and help you out, so you won't have to pay $$$$$ for a $ bearing !!

    48 inch Kubota Deck that know one can identify - RC48RTG

    Maybe contact 'auburn consolidated industries' ? perhaps they actually made the deck ?
