But but but: It might be Visa or Amex! "We noticed some suspicious transactions on your card. Just give us your name and card number so we can verify it's really you on the phone..." lol

My pet peeve is cashiers making change. Whatever happened to counting it out? "Your purchase comes to $14.79. That's 14.80, 15, and 5 makes 20." Then put the bill in the till. Now they just dump a bunch of change in your hand (or on the counter) and say "Thankyou, come again". Of course, that...

There's a lot of opportunity for "weird" when it comes to the 7 round pin trailer connector. I've come across 3 different and conflicting patterns -- there may be more. The largest pin #1) might be ground or left hand tail/markers. The centre pin might be reverse lights or left hand...

Just because a nut threads on does not mean the thread fits. Undersize threads fit in the nut too, so you're right to measure the final result. I have a set of the original precision ground Pee Dee wires from Fisher machine and also a 0-1" thread mic. The thread mic is faster, the wires are...

Looks like some custom mods to that impeller?

That brings back memories of watching the steamers prep at the round-house near the stockyards as a young boy. Hours of noise and smells; coal dust and steam. Shouts and clangs and rumbles and whistles echoing over the noise of livestock unloaded next door. The unique odours of lubricating oil...

That's more for assembling a shaft itself; U-joints have to be in phase with each other. But if you are not disassembling the shaft then you should be fine.

Outside? Doesn't the hose fit over the fitting? The description specifies "Fits 28MM I.D. Hose". From that I would think the important thing is to measure the Inside Diameter of the existing hose.

Nicely done Sir!

No difference in gearing. Kubota just sized the tires for each to match the tractor's gearing. My guess is that they geared it for a certain combination of commonly available AG tires and the somewhat oddball turf fronts were the result of matching a common rear turf size to the gearing. But...

The Ag tires used different rims. They were never available in the same size as the turfs. Turf tires are wider to put less pressure on the ground. If you want Ags, then you need rims too. I found the Predators are a nice compromise. More aggressive than a turf, not as hard on the lawn as an Ag.

Depending on what you are after, Kooy Bros. might actually be faster. Shipping from someone closer could reduce shipping time from dealer to you, but first the dealer has to have/get it themselves. Kubota's warehouse is in the GTA and KB gets daily deliveries. A small rural dealership might...

Kooy brothers in Toronto is a reputable dealer. They seem to get stuff from Kubota within 2 days and they do ship. But I don't think Kubota allows on-line stores.

Just to be clear here: You have a 4wd tractor and are looking for 20.5×8.00-10 ? Lots of options in the previous 2 pages. I personally am using these Predator golf cart tires, (a knock-off of the AT2 ATV tires) which have a bit more bite than turf tires: Or there's the Kenda K13 (and a...

Woodruff keys are an alignment tool. They are supposed to be softer than the parts they are aligning.
