    B2650 Rear Work Light Switch

    What Chad said. It's been quite a while, but if I recall the wire ends were tucked up under the top of the cab. I did have to clip off the connectors and use waterproof butt connectors as I couldn't find that style of connector for the LED lights I used.

    Informal Skeet Shoot.

    Not much of a shotgun shooter any more, but I do like to be prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse. :D

    Second remote for B2650?

    It looked like one of the oval orings between the valves. I did dead head both circuits in both directions and if there's a leak, it's a minor one. I'll go down tomorrow with a clean paper towel and wipe under the valve stack to see if there's any weeping.

    Second remote for B2650?

    I'm amazed that I didn't drop either a pin or a cotter pin. I used a pair of locking hemostats to hold them which helped. Bending the cotter pins was a challenge. Function check went fine, didn't see any leaks. When sweeping up after, I found an o-ring that I suspect fell out when attempting...

    Second remote for B2650?

    Pulled it into the garage, jacked it up enough to get the wheel off and set it on jack stands. Trimmed the inner fender to make room for the second valve. Removed stack end plate, installed longer stud and second valve with o-rings, replaced end plate and o-rings, secured with longer bolts...

    Thoughts on other makes and models

    When I decided to replace my open-station John Deere 750 with a cabbed tractor, I looked at Massey-Furgeson and Kioti. While I think either tractor would have been a decent choice, a peek into the dealer's service department sent me on my way. It wasn't that there were a bunch of tractors...

    This Thread is simply about how SATISFIED and HAPPY a man can be with a Kubota Tractor.

    I mostly think about how lucky I am to be in a position to even HAVE such a toy. We are not "well to do" by any means. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if we aren't considered "disadvantaged" by today's financial standards, but we're quite comfortable with our simple life, thank you. Blessed...

    Where is my lost stuff?

    They're in the last place you'll look. But you'll keep looking after you find them just to be sure.

    Advantage of being suddenly single.

    I've made a few of those "shopping trips". They're usually much more fun than a planned ride.

    Second remote for B2650?

    I'll post back when the kits arrive. I was pretty surprised at the price myself.

    Second remote for B2650?

    26 weeks? 6 MONTHS?? That's insane. Looking around at various sources, looks like I may have to adapt something by welding new ends on. Never occurred to me that sourcing a cylinder would be such a problem.

    Second remote for B2650?

    That's what they're telling me. B7317 for $455 and B7304 for $240. (I posted the $685 price before checking the invoice). RCFlyer's comment about going to sales vs. parts may have helped. The floor salesman looked it up and put together a price for me, then had parts order it. In stock at...

    Second remote for B2650?

    Stopped by the dealer and ordered the 2nd remote kit. Pretty reasonable based on my expectations at $685 plus tax. Now I just need to source the hydraulic side link. Seeing them at Agrisupply, just need to take a tape down and decide what length I need. If anyone here has another/better...

    Open Discussion

    All great advice above! I'll just add a point on something that annoyed me when I bought mine. Know your timeline and be honest about it. I made my decision and plunked down a deposit and then I waited. And waited. And waited some more. I'd sold my previous tractor (a JD 750) to fatten the...

    Daily Chuckle

    That occurred to me as well. Surely, no one would relegate a cherry like that to chicken duty. Especially since the top has already been chopped.
