    Bh77 on b3200 subframe broke

    if you zooooom in you can see 'donuts' where the washers were.....,it's really that the rest of the unit is FILTHY dirty with oil/dust/grime/YUCK....... Unless you weld in extra support under the "U", that IS the 'weakest link' and can fail again.

    B7500 with a B2781A snowblower attachment

    never met a snowblower that would deal with wet/heavy snow.... a sheet of 3/4" plywood makes for an easy 'wet snow pusher' option. add 2by4 on the sides, use 'bolts' to secure through the 'snow cutter' holes ? when you do push it, get it far,far away !!! if not, 'magically' overnight it'll...

    Is this the correct plan for adding a slide valve?

    comments.... 1st... which tractor ? I do not 'assume' that the one in your sidebar bio IS the tractor in question. 2nd.. see if Kubota HAS an addon 'kit'. While more coins,it WILL fit and work. 3rd... consider TWO (2) valves. often a 'double' kit isn't that much more money and next year,when...

    Bh77 on b3200 subframe broke

    sigh...man that's a friggin sad sight.... The breaking at the 'U' is understandable, it 's the weak spot.. suggestion if possible, 'beef up' the plates with long 'stout' plates of steel ! The longer, fatter, taller the better, BOTH sides if possible.

    Building a bike rack

    1st idea... Once adjusted for height.... from the other side ,drill hole through the bracket and bar, use bolt and nylock to secure,then remove knob screw. 5/16 would be fine, 3/8" overkill.....

    M8560, parked regen in a loop.

    Anything to do with 'emissions' should be 100% warranty , and that includes the inhibit switch..... 'they' reamed up the system, 'they' should be responsible for it ! Just HOW could the 'computer' not KNOW the switch was stuck ? Simple, easy realtime diagnostic code will see 'stuck keys'.

    Good Works Tractor Co. and their latest Quick Hitch

    figures... it took a committee to wreck a well known system, the 3 point hitch, into THEIR idea of what it should be. Obviously not one real farmer on the committee. There is no good reason for CAT3 ends on a CAT1 hitch.

    Kubota RTV-XG850 throttle issue

    curious, looked at online drawings, simple cable system if it's 'too responsive', need to put cable hole further away from pivot point in the control arm. this slows down the response as it has to travel(move) further to operate the throttle. Anyone who has RC machines or MECCANO knows about...

    Mounting B / BX snowblower on a gr series mower ?

    1st step, get the installation manuals or online parts diagrams to see how they differ. You'd hope the 'blower' section would be common and just the 'sub frames' need to be bodged. Also the PTO shafts will need to be looked at.

    The cost of getting old

    re: I just cannot understand this incompetence. All they do all day is install the same item and still cannot do it right. The guys must be cousins of the concrete foundation walls guys that did next door. Real simple house with attached garage. I thought outer garage wall looked 'funny'...

    B5100e

    'cause I'm not about to drive 2 1/2 hours to find out the tractor does NOT have the 'live PTO' as advertised..... that'd be FIVE hours of my life gone for no good reason. It's been advertised as having a LIVE PTO, which I thought to be wrong as very,very few tractors have them.

    Tachometer input signal.

    Downloaded the WSM for the M018s from www.kubotabooks.com Signal is a pulsating DC signal ( probably 0 to +12v ) from alternator going to the 'meter panel' through a wht/grn wire that's joined to a wht/yel wire.
