    Kubota OEM Grille guards 2022

    I just went to their website and I like what I see, however, they don't make anything for tractors other than the L and M series tractors. Not one item for the BX tractors. I know that there are others in this market, but there is room for another innovator.

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    The original grey filter might have been damaged in transport, and the dealer replaced it with a new one from inventory.

    Extreme Cold weather operation

    I had the same problem with the seat switch. I used a jug of Kubota UDT2 on the seat to keep it running when I wasn't in it.

    When the wind decides to turn a barn into a chicken coop!

    Around here the last quote on concrete that I got was $105 a yard. When I started calculating the cost of a 5" floor for a new garage, I decided that I would wait to see if prices would drop in a year or so. Nine months later, nothing has dropped very much in price, so I have put my building...

    BX2816 Snow Blower question.

    I lubricated the chain prior to installing. I use the method of putting the funnel into the hole above the chain and pouring some chain and bar oil into the funnel. I use a styrofoam meat tray under the chain to catch the excess. I then turn the augers to distribute the gear and bar oil over...

    When the wind decides to turn a barn into a chicken coop!

    Did they give you any idea of costs of shipping, installation, or cost of the materials?

    Oils and lubricants.

    You might want to start a grease thread, and it should be good for at least 4 months and over 200 posts of various opinions. My only comment on grease is that any grease is better than no grease. The basics of grease are that there are both high speed and low-speed greases, and there are...

    BX2816 Snow Blower question.

    I hooked up the BX2816 snowblower today, and when I finished greasing all the fitting, I started it up. It sounds like a cement mixer with worn-out bearings. I had to cheat by putting a case of oil on the seat to keep the engine running and the blower engaged. I felt the top of the case...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Spent some time hooking up my new LandPride QH05 quick hitch to the 3 point arms. Then I backed up to my B8160 16 years old weight box, only to realize that it will not attach to the quick hitch. That was an hour wasted, and my hands were starting to get numb from the cold. Got it hooked up...

    Old tools - - Neat finds....

    I had a 1971 Mazda Cosmo that I fixed after it had an interior fire. Took some time to find an interior, but I found a yard in Yonkers NY that had 2 of them in inventory. When it was finally done, my girlfriend at the time asked if she could take it for a Sunday ride. It apparently was too...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I suggest that you post back the sides of the driveway because the next storm you will be out of places to move the snow. I learned this over 60 years ago from an old-timer that used to plow where I lived. If you are not certain what is under the snow, then angle the blade and put it 2" above...

    Thermostat help needed

    You will be perfectly fine with that thermostat for a heater. I don't know why they have such a low-setting thermostat, but is it possible that it is measured in Celsius degrees?

    L4701 I am an idiot how screwed am I ?

    You might want to think twice before you start making disparaging comments about some of the most knowledgeable people on these forums. I know that Whitetiger is one of those most knowledgeable people. His name is Whitetiger, but I'll bet that he has a memory like an elephant, and doesn't...

    Dangers of an Oxygen Cylinder

    That was a medical tank, which is commonly known as an E tank or E size. Today they are usually aluminum, but in the old days, they were steel. I still have about a 1/2 dozen of the steel tanks that were filled but never put into service. I have a few antique ambulances and they were the...
