If they don't have the parts in stock, ask if they can "steal" the parts needed out of another hitch in inventory that hasn't been assembled yet, so you can get back to snow blowing. This is what I did in my business when a customer needed a part to fix something that we sold originally...

My radiator is full to the top. The only thing that a shop vac will pull out is the antifreeze unless I drain the radiator. Wednesday it is supposed to be in the 40's, so I will take everything apart, and put the heater core on the floor of the tractor in an attempt to get the air out of it...

I used the engine bypass hose for my heater in my BX22, and when I sold it, it was still working perfectly. The only thing that I found difficult was finding an adapter from 3/8" to 1/2" and 3/8" to 5/8" heater hose. At the time NAPA had both metal and plastic, and you cut off the end to the...

After running the tractor for 4 or 5 hours today, I put it back into its canvas garage, and opened the hood to see how hot the upper radiator hose was. It was cold to the touch, and the same with the radiator. The temperature gauge comes up about 1/3 of its travel. I am thinking that I might...

If everything that has been said about the KTAC insurance is true, then this is covered. Just don't admit to any mistakes on your part. You have no idea why it happened, or how it happened, just that it happened, and it needs to be fixed. If they ask why you took it apart, you did it to see...

I just went out to the tractor and measured from the button in the glass to the side and the bottom, and it appears to be about 14 1/2". I then measured the rear window wiper on my 2016 Ford Explorer, and it measures 14" overall length. I am thinking that I could use the wiper arm and blade...

Kubota Part number BX4073 ($270.51) Usually ships in 50-70 business days Couple of questions. 1) does the motor come with the installation kit, i.e. the grommets for the glass"? Kubota #77700-08630 ($11.56) 5 - 10 days 2) where did you get the arm, and how expensive is it if you remember...

I just checked Amazon, and the price is #227.70!!

Do you have Kubota's Insurance that comes at a price when you finance the tractor? If so, don't even mess with it at all, just drop it at your Kubota dealer. Also keep your eyes open on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for a used one. Might be less expensive if the repair is coming out of...

Do you have homeowners insurance for fire, theft, or collision and comprehensive on your automobile, or don't you believe in those either?

Aren't you happy that smallpox, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, “Hib” influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, polio, and pertussis were all given without an uproar, and have saved tens of thousands of lives since they first became available?

Give it a healthy dose of Service Power in the white bottle. I exceed the recommended dosage and never have had a fuel gelling problem in the last 17 or 18 years. I just bought a case of half gallons on Amazon so I have enough for the next few years. I call it cheap insurance in the bottle.

911 only works on the gelled fuel in the bowl, and my guess is that you are not using enough of the white bottle fuel conditioner. I am also in CT and experienced the same temperatures as you, but I give my fuel a healthy dosing every time I fill the tank, and I always try to keep the tank...

Today, after spending 2 1/2 - 3 hours snow blowing, the rear glass was totally covered with snow. Now I am thinking that I am going to need one. Just not certain if I can find anything less expensive than what is sold by Kubota. I guess that the first thing to do is to figure out what the...

Are you going to stain and urethane the wood? Then you could call it a woodie. :)

I understand what you are wanting to do, but I see it as overkill. I oil the chain with chain bar oil after every storm or before every storm, depending on my own schedule. I grease the driveshaft cross shafts at the beginning of the season and using my old snowblower for 17 or 18 years, I...

It looks like the seal just popped out. Take the driveshaft off, spray the area with brake cleaner and assess the damage without the grime. Only then can you determine what is wrong. Post another picture once you have it cleaned for additional advice.

Hard work, patience, devotion to the business, and learning to live very frugally in your life until you start making enough money to survive on. Most people give up after a few years because it is such an uphill battle. When I started out in business, it was 10 years before I could start to...

Reminds me of the snowstorm in 1959 when it snowed for a few days. A friend and his dad dug a tunnel through the snow to the end of the driveway. I never asked how they did it, but I assume that they started at the street and kept going. Back then, snowplows were not that common, and many of...

That is exactly how I plumbed mine back in 2004 and never had a heating problem.
