    admin help, is there any to be had?

    He can give moderators permission to modify the email address without giving permission for the whole back end. That way people can recover their lost accounts. All they would need to do is to supply their birthday with you for proof as to who they are along with a new email address. Then...

    WTB good used RTV

    Check the price of a new one, and you might be surprised. A friend just ordered a heated and air-conditioned unit last December from the Kubota dealer and it was approx. 20K for new. The problem with buying a new or used one is that so many items are an extra cost on them. You better know...

    Don't forget to turn your click torque wrenches back to 0 when you are finished with them.

    Australian models are a little different

    I know that I am going to have a hell of a time trying to drive my tractor on the left side of the lawn when cutting the grass. :)

    Installing a BX2618 Snowblower on a BX23S

    Interesting that your ram is leaking. Mine is also 2 years old, and the ram is also leaking, but I was told that it is out of warranty.

    Problems from Dealer Setup

    That seat will probably wind up either in the dumpster after it is OK'd by the factory rep or will be put on a used tractor that needs a seat, depending on the ethics of the dealership. Sometimes it isn't even known by the owners of the dealership because that is what they pay their managers...

    Log Skidding Winch for Vehicle Recovery

    Use a snatch block and it will increase the pulling power, and also lessen the strain. Retrieving cars with a winch is an art that can get you into trouble quickly if you do it wrong. I live on a dirt road, and someone that wasn't familiar with the road drove off the side, and the car almost...

    Update: RC54-71B side blade spindle nut--reverse threaded

    Left-handed nuts usually have a line carved into the side of the flats for identification. My guess is that they are regular right-handed nuts. My suggestion would to be to put some heat on them first because many times they are installed with Locktite so they don't come off. Heat them up, put...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I put a LED 26" long roof warning light onto the Curtis cab on my BX23S. If we get the snow that is predicted for tonight, I will have a picture of it doing its work. It came with magnets to hold it to the roof, and I replaced those with suction cups.

    Australian models are a little different

    I have my passport in hand, my vaccination record in my pocket, flight reservations made, and I am ready to make the move. How long should it take to learn the language? You folks down under speak kind of strange... LOL.. :)

    Bx25D snowblower

    I see lots of front-mounted snow blowers in CT and MA on the Facebook marketplace and craigslist. Some are more expensive than they should be, and sometimes you can actually catch a deal on one. I bought a used one from the tractor dealer last spring for $2200 with all the mounting hardware...

    Dumping landline phone service?

    As I mentioned in my first post, there are cell antennas facing toward CT since there are no cell towers at all in our section of town that I know of. Our town is 56 square miles, and for most of it, there is no cell service. Possibly with 5G a lot of this will change, but there are a lot of...

    Cold Weather Starting Problems

    Shouldn't be on a list, it should have been on the order when you purchased the tractor. Did the dealer ever mention this is a necessary item to purchase with the tractor? If you are going to install it yourself when it gets warm, then wait. If you are going to have the dealer do the...

    Dumping landline phone service?

    My phone is not even 1 year old, and it has a 508 area code telephone number registered to me at my business address in MA. Since it has a 508 originating telephone number, and I was parked in MA, then why did it get routed to the 911 operator in CT rather than to the 911 operator in MA? I was...

    Anyone put a BX with loader in a Shelter Logic Tent

    I have one that is snow load rated, and it has 2" round pipes spaced every 5', and it is secured to the ground with stakes that you purchase that have a crossbar at the bottom, and a cable at the top. It has withstood high winds without moving an inch. The downside is that it has a 10-year...

    Source for Odd Size Rocker Switches?

    Take the existing switch out and look for any manufacturer's identification markings. If it says CH, that could be Cuttler Hammer or Cole Hersee. Many of the equipment manufacturers are now using Carling switches. Cole Hersee got bought out by littlefuse, and I don't believe that they are...

    Electrical Outlet in Ultracab 2

    Anyone that works on mechanical machinery is a foolish idiot to wear any jewelry when working on machinery, because of the possibility of getting it caught on the machine, even if the machine is not in operation. The same goes for electricians because of the same thing that happened to your...
