    Aftermarket Water Temp Gauge

    I would dearly love to put a temp gauge on my B7300 that has a D722 engine but danged if I can find a place to put the bulb. I'm hard of hearing and I know I wont hear the whistle if it ever starts blowing when the tractor and MMM are both running if it were to run hot.

    Does anyone know of a salvage source for a set of side covers?

    More Power

    Shim the relief valve. I think for each 1mm shim it increases pressure 39 pounds. Don't start shimming until you know what your pressure is on the FEL. Bxpanded sells a gauge kit or your can make your own. Kubota sells 1, 2 and 4mm shims. There are plenty of posts here and on other sites about...

    BX23 Backhoe Removal??

    That is the way a BX22 is setup. Those levers will rotate to unlock the hoe when you get the pressure off of it. BigFish I'll scan and send you the mount-dismount instructions from my BT900 on my BX22 if you like.

    Brand new BX - too long to start?

    I've never had to advance the throttle to crank a diesel engine. It either fired or it didn't. If it didn't the bossman brought out a can of ether but that was back in 'the day'. He always kept possession of the ether. Personally I don't want any of my engines firing at anything much more than...

    Mowing to "get away from it"

    Bill, I cant say I share the same sentiment for beating the grass as you do. As hot, dry and dusty as it is down here in central MS, beating the grass is pretty much H E double L for me. My sentiments may change from 'beating the grass' to mowing when and if I ever get something with a cab...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    After becoming thoroughly frustrated with continually 're-tweaking' V retainers on these forks I broke one of them yesterday while 'tweaking' it. I took that as a take a break cool down moment since it was 97 degrees here. I emailed Mr. Clearman at Bxpanded yesterday, explained my frustrations...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    I'm not real impressed with these forks. 1-you cant see them when you're trying to get under something. 2-They may be great for moving a couple heavy things once or twice and repetitive use for light weight limbs and such. For repetitive use moving heavy things they are not very good. 3-The...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    The mounting brackets seemed ok when I put them on the bucket but holes for pins that hold the forks had to be reamed with a drill in order for the pins to go through them. It wasn't paint stopping the pins. Material had to be taken off. The forks will be put to use this weekend. Will post some...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    Ordered the forks last Friday the 24 and they came in yesterday. I wasn't able to mount or use them yesterday. I'll have to post my thoughts when I get a chance to use them. Bxpanded gets an ATTA BOY for processing and shipping my order in less than 2 hours.

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    Well, I pulled the trigger on the Bxpanded forks. I hope they work out for me. I'll post my thoughts once they come in and I use them. They will go straight to work moving the downed trees.

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    GWD, I've got a set of home made forks that have served their purpose well since they were built back in '02....after all the use, stress, breaking and being welded numerous times they're ready to be retired. Right now I've got 17 fourteen to eighteen inch pine trees down in my yard I had to...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    I pic would be great and a pic of This pin that continues to get loose and fall out. Could the pin be drilled and a clip used to keep it in place? I really want to know what I'll be buying before I pull the trigger on buying or if I need to look at something else.

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    Grouse, that's kind of info I'm looking for. I appreciate it ! The forks I have are home made. The gentleman I inherited the tractor from made them and they've worked quite well for him and me since I've had the tractor. They bolt to the bottom of the fel bucket. I also inherited a miller bobcat...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    Grouse, so the only reason you're replacing them is that they're not adjustable with the piranha bar? Other than that do you like the forks? Are the made heavy enough? Did you have problems with the clamp on quick connects? Did they perform as expected? I don't have a tooth bar so that's a...

    Hog damage

    Feral hogs are plentiful along the MS river bottom and I've killed my fair share. Mississippi has no closed season on hogs. I've had one of the dozens processed and also smoked whole pigs. I'm with Daren Todd. There is also no way it is legal to sell feral hog meat in stores in Texas. They're...

    Bxpanded Quick on Pallet/Brush Forks

    Does anyone have any experience with Bxpanded forks? I've been using some homemade bolt on forks that have broken several times and I'm ready for something different. Thanks

    Bush Hog Brand Cutter

    There is a flopper link.....it was just doing its thing.....it was flopped down where you couldn't see it. If you look at the top of the A frame you can see the bottom of the U-shaped flopper piece.
