My equipment gets parked under the hay mow in my barn. The JD750 has since been replace with a B2650, but it's parked in the same place.

'15 B2650HDSC here. I do loader work, grade my drive with a 66" box blade , mow my fields with a Landpride FDR1660 3PH finish mower, mow wilder fields with a Landpride RCR1860 rotary mower, clear my drive with a 64" Pronovost blower and till gardens with an ancient 50" Howard tiller. Plenty of...

The schematic in my WSM shows the following for the radio plug: Gr/G to 5A Radio fuse on fuse block L/R to Right Speaker + R/L to Right Speaker - V/Y to Left Speaker + Br/B to Left Speaker - Y to 15A Radio,Room Lamp fuse on fuse block I couldn't find a table to decode the color abbreviations...

Getting old? :) KG-14 was a supplemental key generator, RTTY and Data. I was gonna ask you how many of the 6088 and 6418 tubes you reckon you've soldered in your career? Personally, I'd guess thousands... We had a filament voltage test card extender we used. Put the card extender in, put...

Whadda coinkydink - I was a KW37R and KG-14 tech. Went to Crypto school in Portsmouth VA right out of ET"A" school. Been to Cutler a few times, we used their range for annual small arms quals.

Cryptography eh? Hmmmmm. Joined the Navy pretty much right out of High School in 1969, retired after 22 years as a Cryptologic Technician (Maintenance). Basically an Electronics Tech with a fancy clearance. Spent the next 22 years trying to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up. Mostly...

The mounting plate for all their grapples is 24" long, 3" wide and 1" thick. I asked about that when I was deciding which grapple to get. I used the same dimensions for the pieces I welded to the bucket and forks.

bnJDvKBSD6c Some details to finish up. I didn't allow for bucket curl when I thought about hoses from the loader to the thumb cylinder so I need to let things flop until I can get longer hoses. Then I'll secure the hoses from the rear remote to the loader cross-member with a bracket and just...

Nicely done!

After pricing full-size grapples and the necessary hydraulic bits to make them work, I was pretty depressed. Completely out of the question with my budget. Then I saw a post about "thumb grapples" from Green Machine in Illinois. This nicely priced unit, plus avoiding all the expense of a...

Best Wishes, Hokie. I'm 66 and have had the doo-doo scared out of me twice with health issues. The first one at 41 caused me to quit putting off things I wanted to do, the second caused me to quit putting off retirement. Stress is a bi*ch. I traded a $19/hr full time job for a $10/hr part...

175 hours on my cab model. Love just about everything about it. Last tractor was an '88 John Deere 750. Unbelievably capable little machine, but had some shortcomings and was open station. I was leery of the hydro for heavy work. Not an issue. I love the Power Steering, the Live PTO, the...

Yep, in the bucket right next to my left-handed Crescent wrench and a busted set of vice grips...

The dealer I bought my B2650 from loaded the R1 Ag rear tires as part of the deal. It's been sitting a while (mowing season over, blowing season hasn't begun yet...:) ) and when I used it today it felt like it was wallowing pretty badly. It improved some after the tires warmed up and "got...

I had GREAT luck with my rams, all were calm and gentlemanly, a couple were downright cuddly as long as the girls weren't "in the mood". Only had one that I had to get rid of and he was destined for the freezer from the git-go. He just "discovered girls" at a very early age and got...

Please pardon me if I'm belaboring the obvious, but it ain't the width of the cutter that counts, it's the quality. I ran a Woods M5 "Dixie Cutter" behind a JD750 for years, and cleared some NASTY lots with it. Wore it plumb out, replaced it with a Landpride RCR1860. Both medium-to-heavy duty...

Another thumbs down for ANYTHING K&N. Have never and will never use them on my equipment.

:D Guess I'm not the only old fart here...

Yup. Aggravates the heck out of me, but they're darn nice to have otherwise. Also whack my noggin real regular on the rear window when hooking up equipment. Window open, reaching through the back to tweak the hitch position. Sorta gotten into the habit of walking around all hunched over...

:D Tickles me when some folks get all wound up about that acronym...
