Oh boy... this one is a hot topic in the homebuilt aircraft world where Odyssey batteries are very popular. After much experience in that arena it has become clear that Odyssey Absorbed Gas Mat batteries and other similar AGMs do NOT like float chargers. In fact float chargers or battery...

With turboshaft engines, one does not vary the engine speed, so "throttle response" is not an issue in the normal sense. Start the engine, run it at ground idle (normally mid-50's% RPM), then once warm, bring up to full speed. That's how turbines are operated. That's also why an HST would...

I have some form of plastic as the cutting edge on my box scraper and on my front-mount snow blower. Don't know what it is as I bought the equipment used. Works a charm, leaves no marks on my paved driveway, and still does just fine on the gravel driveways that I clear. This stuff is about 1"...

I've grown up with 2wd tractors, some with loaders, some without, all with geared transmissions. Then I grew up and bought my own tractors. Yup, all 2wd, some with loaders, some without, all with geared transmissions. Mostly because that's what I could afford. Now that I'm not only older...

Turbines are interesting engines, but their fuel consumption will never get close to diesels at low altitude and with variable power requirements. Still, I'd love to go to a tractor pull with a turboshaft-powered tractor. Just imagine the looks on the faces of folks when you hit the start...

For my daughter's first deer hunt she had her pick. In the end she chose the Rugger M77 Ultralight in .250 Savage, topped with a Leupold Compact 3X-9X scope. It proved very effective medicine on a spike buck that happened to wander alongside the fence line right in front of us. It was opening...

My pair of B7510's are of slightly different vintage. One has a folding ROPS, the other has a non-folding ROPS. Both of them have the main ROPS bar bolted at the same point as the turn signal lights just above the rear fenders. Can these ROPS bars be swapped between the newer and older...

From an operational point of view, most of the HP you are using is being burned up by the mower. Very little HP is being used to move the tractor. IF you were mowing up a steep hill you might find you would need more power to be available to the wheels, thus low range might be more...

Agree - new should be new. When I purchased my new Subaru last year the sales contract allowed them a maximum of 90KM on the clock. That, in comparative terms, would be the equivalent of about 2-3 hours on a tractor. Oh, since I just purchased a B2410 with more than 2500 hours on it, I would...

Paul - I've indeed been looking at the shower curtain solution. I'm not sure it will be flexible enough at low temperatures. I mean LOW, like near zero F. A lot of cheaper plastics go stiff as a board and crack when that cold. Now for the latest development in this saga... This B2410 might...

Thank you thank you thank you, Wolfman! That's exactly what I was looking for. Now I can move forward with getting some parts to make this thing work. Again, many thanks.

I told my father about the "new" tractor today. He certainly sounds excited about it. I spent another 5 hours cutting grass with it and it runs like a charm - no defects noted to date, so I'm quite pleased. Now I need to find some sort of soft-sided "cab" enclosure that I can hang off the sun...

Let's see if I can figure out how to post a photo of the B2410 which arrived today. This photo shows it in the back yard after having spent an hour cutting grass. Had to make sure the tractor worked well, and it does indeed work well. Later drove it 8 miles to the airport then spent another...

Uh yeah... DOH! I have now seen the "tank" line. Have to get more light so I can see how it connects to the "bare" B7510. Wolfman - would you know if this is a special fitting for the "tank" line to connect to the transmission housing? (And a great big thanks for prompting me to put my...

Thanks again, Wolfman. Reamer - sounds like you found a good deal. Wonder if your spare hydraulic valve might fit my B7510... If you wanted to part with it, that is.

Thank you, Wolfman! If I'm understanding your (much appreciated) cautions, the aftermarket valve that's best suited to this task is a dual-spool valve, with one of the valves being a 4-position valve with float function. It should also have Power Beyond function. I don't think I would...

As the title says - help, please! :-) I have a B7510 for which I've acquired a front-mount B2771 snowblower and its sub-frame mount. This is wonderful, except this tractor has no remote hydraulics, no loader, nada. Would anybody know the correct Kubota part number for the hydraulic block...

Just bumping this up in case somebody has these parts and isn't using them... Thanks for looking!

WANTED - WANTED - WANTED Looking for the hardware to mount a mid-mounted mower to B7510 tractor. I have the two big welded brackets that bolt to the tractor frame. What I need is the rest of the hardware - the brackets that slide over the lower end of the 3pt hitch arms, the rods that extend...
