    How did you mount your fire extinguisher?

    ^^^^^^ Indeed they should. A few years ago my Scag Zero Turn caught fire. I always kept a fire extinguisher on it and grabbed it to put out the fire. It was one with a plastic nozzle and Pull Pin. Well.....the damn Pull Pin broke off flush with the handle when I tried to pull it, leaving the...

    oil change

    Won't Crank/Turn Over (starter does not spin engine) or won't 'Start' (Engine will not fire and run)?

    Adding a horn

    ^^^^ Same here. Doesn't take any real effort or time. I found a mounting spot for the horn close to the battery, so just ran a fused 'hot' wire to the horn straight off the battery. Then mounted a push button momentary switch at the dash area and ran the ground wire to it to complete the...

    Rear blade advice

    I believe (and I think you do too) that an 8' blade is too much for that tractor (if it is to be used to its full potential). If it were me....I'd be looking to trade it for a 5 footer or have it cut down.

    l185dt mystery ball bearing in engine

    IF it didn't fall onto the piston top from somewhere else when you removed the head....then something is VERY, VERY wrong.

    Stuck on a tree stump

    It doesn't look like a bolt hole to me, but clean it up and inspect. I think you'll find you have damaged the radiator someplace or a hose/line. It is not unusual for the 'source' of the leak to not be where the fluid is dripping from. You'll note that all of the bolts and part of the plate...

    Stuck on a tree stump

    Typically, green fluid would be the engine coolant (antifreeze/water mix). IF you pushed a tree over (and UNDER the tractor) and got hung up on it....then I would be looking at the radiator and lower hose for leaks/damage. Hydraulic fluid (though not normally green unless a dye has been added)...

    Found my dream welder

    Congratulations. That was a once in a lifetime deal on a GREAT welder. They are such a handy size and mine has been absolutely trouble free for the 10 years I've used it. Spool Gun: I rarely have a need to weld anything aluminum....and frankly, it takes some practice to learn to use a...

    Love mine. Get a spool gun for it too so you can weld aluminum.

    2022 Kubota LX3310HSD 4WD Utility Tractor (Unused)

    Yep, no way. Judging by the pictures (if flood water) it got at least as high as the hood vents and oil filter (if not higher). Was it fresh water or salt water? Electronics (in dash) are surely damaged. Unless I could bore scope the cylinders.....to see their condition its simply too much a...

    A dumb 4WD question

    Correct. Appears to operate just like any of the 'Auto/Lunch Box' lockers that have been around in the aftermarket automotive industry for at least 35 yrs.

    Can we start flying 'illegals' there?

    Mouse trouble

    I've had limited success using poison and sticky traps for mice/rats in the barn and outbuildings. Would catch some....but there were always others waiting to take their place. Then we got a Calico Cat and She is a mouse killing machine! NONE and I mean NONE in my buildings anymore. NO more...
