    BF350-A loader

    I don't know if yours is the same, but on my tractor you have to turn a screw a quarter turn on a valve down near where the hoses connect to the tractor.

    Thinking Of Getting Into Welding?

    Well, I went from watching a welding link to the national log cutting championship, or something like that. Those guys were chopping logs in about 10 seconds that would take me at least an hour. Beasts. :eek:

    Pre-School Brush Hog Alignment

    Have you tried turning it the wrong way? Maybe you are tightening it. They can get very tight through use. When you have done that, you might be able to get more clearance by turning the pins to the inside. I did it to mine so that I can offset it slightly for finishing close to things like...

    BX Dually

    Re: BC Dually What we used to do back in the day was get the outer wheels a size or two smaller. The theory was that in normal use they did not add any strain to anything because they weren't on the ground, but they kept you up if you had to go into soft ground. Other people used to run with no...

    Maybe a shed

    I wish I had the space and the money to go bigger, but hopefully this tractor will see me out. Previous tractor was a 1964 MF135 that we had for about 40 years. Snow is rarely an issue here. The problem here is, because we are on an island, the air is full of salt which eats through everything...

    How to tell if dealer filled rear tires?

    The R4s on the other tractor were probably wider = more fluid = more weight

    Maybe a shed

    It's not going to be that kind of shed, guys. It will basically be a shelter for the tractor and a few attachments. It may not even have a door. Rust is a serious problem here on the island and airflow is vital. It's amazing how much better things last if they are just out of the weather. But it...

    I forgot to mark them!!!

    I think that in your pic left is front and right is rear. Any exploded drawings that I can remember have a little arrow showing which way is forward

    Maybe a shed

    Scored some old electricity supply poles today. Plan is that one will make two lifetime gateposts and I reckon the other 2 will make four corners for a shed for Hope. As I was coming back with my prize, the trackhoe operator was just pulling into the yard. Perfect timing. Now I just have to...

    Fuel gauge not accurate?

    Ever since my days working on golf courses, I fill up and check all levels every evening. Nothing worse than a queue at the fuel tank when you are trying to beat the early birds. Everybody did it, so you knew that whatever machine you were taking out it was good to go.

    Rake Attachment

    I'm confused too. I don't see any fences delineating the properties. Maybe they are there and I just can't see them or is it all kinda open range. Looks beautiful by the way

    BX22 Differential Inspection?

    Sometimes after taking my foot off the diff lock it does not release immediately. A couple of seconds later, usually while turning, it will release itself with a loud bang. First couple of times it knocked a jump out of me. It is just the pedal hitting the bottom of the floor or its stop...

    Damn Dodge

    I have had both. The first Cherokee had a habit of throwing a pushrod so regularly that I got to be pretty handy at putting it back. The second one was downright dangerous. You could be driving along at 70/80mph when it would just die. Of course it would then start up straight away and off you...

    Kubota L4150 white smoke, no start

    My uncle used to put boiling water into the radiator to make things easier to start. I've seen people holding a roll of burning paper to the air intake too. I don't know how safe or reliable these things are but the machines usually started.

    If you get into a skid going downhill DO NOT BRAKE. Drive out of it.
