    Anyone have experience with a rock bucket for a L3901??

    Wow, that's light, my regular 72" bucket is 400lbs, hope some L3901 owners with experience pipe up. These buckets really do not move much wood, to small, I lift fallen trees to fit in my dump trailer with my debris forks, to cut and split at home, that is what works for me. Good luck.

    BH92 Welding at cylinders falling apart

    My L47 has pipe wrap tape on every hydraulic fitting going into the rams, not one bit of rust, helps that I live in the driest place on earth, wonder if that helps keeping the different metals from touching for electrolysis?

    6 foot box blade too big for a B7800 Kubota tractor

    When wet here in So. Cal. "rare" I use my angle blade to fix and crown the dirt/gravel roads, if you do it dry it is just a dust bowl till the next moister which could be a long time:(.

    Synthetic or Conventional motor oil in Kubota diesels

    Whatever you use, change it on schedule, had an 86 Maxima, changed the oil every 5000 with Walmart base generic and used the cheapest gas, usually Arco here in Southern Cali. After 30 years I drove it to the auto salvage yard with over 505,000 miles, not kilometers, same motor, no rebuild, same...

My neighbor used acetylene and oxygen from his cutting torch for my old heavy JD backhoe tire, 1 minute of gas and no result, 2 minutes...

    Retired after 38 years with the LAFD, I just keep a shovel handy and hope there will be some dirt around, yes good for a kitchen or electronics fire, temporary smothered with a good chance of rekindle, otherwise you need something to take the heat out or covered/smothered.

    Backhoe Quick Attachment

    Here is a picture of the bucket ears, 1st set Walmart on-line $39, too good to be true, ordered 2 more sets, $49 this time but much cheaper than others on-line, hate to think how much they are now, metal sky rocking. I did have to shave a little of the Quick Attach side with my angle grinder for...
