Removal, just like this. Except I’d just grab more car if the J hook pulls out before I’d waste a perfectly good tree.

X2 on the above based on my research of the MX series. No worries on the low hours, for some folks, that’s all the need they had. I’d like to think it’s the original owner? If so, they should have maintenance records, which are likely a few engine oil change's and maybe an HST oil and filter...

Nice! Just the other day someone posted about a bucket extension. I wondered why a person would need one (since I only dropped gravel on the hood of my new tractor one time about 18 years ago to learn not to do that). But I can see with snow removal, that would be pretty handy. I like the...

Tomcat is what I use too. Just got a bucket today, I use the pellets in a paper package. Appt it is one of the nastyer ones. Here’s an image of the active ingredient and a warning.

It does look stock. I’d unscrew the threaded connection for hose from the rest of the assembly to drain it. Maybe a return line from the 3rd function? But I don’t know the orientation of the image either.

I use the blood thinner too. I also have an ultrasonic noise generator in my barn. I can hear it myself so I suppose it generates noise over a large spectrum. Anyhow, it helps. Many less mice/rats than without it. The blood thinner results in about a casualty a month that I see. Probably more...

Looks like the Fluke multimeter I used in my electrical fundamentals (E fundies we called it) lab classes in the late ‘80s.

That noise definitely isn’t right. Glad you figured out the replacement gear is smaller. Wondering if the new 57 tooth gear is smaller in outside diameter (in which case, at a minimum, the teeth are a different pitch, big no no) or smaller it thickness, as in the gear can walk side to side of...

Next mod for my little B. Thanks for sharing. Indeed my L is much easier to reverse with and more controlled as well. Not sure why big K decided the 50 lbs (or some equally silly number) of force would be needed to operate these B’s in reverse.

Better lucky than good sometimes. I got lucky until I wasn’t. Had to rescue the wife about 200 miles away as a result. She was on the side of the road way too long. Got back home at 1 am. Don’t need a repeat. Traveling on Sunday afternoons makes it a good time to get an independent help, as in...

Very nice. I like that the paint choice matches some of the other toys. A guy only needs to have two flats in one trip once to want two spares. Been there.

Makes sales folks think they sound cool.

Congratulations. I think you’ll appreciate it. I like mine pretty well.

Your tractor has 1000 hours on it. Does most of that entail using the FEL? Or 50%, 10%? FWIW my 600 hr L tractor (maybe 10-15% FEL usage) shows hardly any wear at the location pictured.

Here’s a better link. June of 2017, between the 10,000th and 19998th units. I “think” it’d be the 17940th unit built, but I’m not quite sure how to use that chart. Kubota Engine Serial Number Decoder

If I recall correctly. That 5 digit frame serial number won’t do too much for you, unless maybe a dealer can track it. The 7 digit engine serial number seems to be the one that can be researched online. Here’s a link. Kubota Engine Serial Numbers

Nope. 5 digits is all. You can research Kubota serial numbers on line. IIRC, the engine and frame serial numbers are different as are the attachments. The engine serial number can be tied to a production date (sort of, IIRC) A FEL with a QASS and bucket will have three different detail...

Although I did research the Homestead Implements, I wasn’t able to find a local retailer (so I couldn’t look at one directly). IIRC, I couldn’t confirm all the pivot pins were greaseable. They might be. As to EA, their prices were in the LP range and they were having trouble making deliveries on...

Not sure if you watched the video. Neil didn’t say which smaller tractor vendor may go away, but laid the ground work as to why it’s likely. He touches on the support system and rough number of units year and longer term parts availability. The title he put on the video seems to suggest there’s...

Here’s a current YouTube video from Neil at Messick’s explaining the CUT market. It does a nice job of putting numbers to considerations such as this. Messick’s - A Tractor Company is Likely to go out of Business
