    Is this attached correctly?

    That's how mine is connected. I have used it for a couple of seasons and it works well.

    Daily Chuckle

    Even though I am only in my 60"s, I have used both the brace and bit and the ole manual drill over the years. :oops::oops:

    Pulled a Dumb One

    Yeah, she has given me a hard time. Fortunately she does not freak out with small things like this.

    Pulled a Dumb One

    Public Service Announcement......Safety, Safety, Safety..... Decided it was time to sharpen the blades on the finish mower. I have a spare set so it was more of a swap with sharp for dull. Took all the normal precautions, jack stands under mower and gloves. Finished and removed my gloves then...

    Kubota Z 125s Zero turn mower power surge governor hunting issues

    I had the welch plugs come off my carburetor on my Husqvarna with the 23.5hp Kawasaki engine around 100 hours and experienced the same issues you are describing. Purchased new ones on amazon for a couple of bucks. Replaced them and added a little nail polish to help keep them in place. No...

    Last Day!

    Congratulations, retirement is great for those of us fortunate to have projects and things to keep us busy and out of trouble. I retired at the beginning of 2024 and have not missed a beat. Have been busy with projects, a little more boat time and am learning to pace the projects to say this...

    Lawn Vac for BX

    I have used an old DR Vac for years in the fall behind my lawn tractor and more recently behind my zero turn. It works well but can plug the hose from time to time and it is a pain to unclog. I would consider a cyclone rake if the soft side issues have been resolved. My DR has hard sides and...

    R4 Industrial Tires - Titan vs Carlisle?

    I tend to avoid Carlisle tires (made in China) as I had horrible experiences with them on trailers. I have Titans on my Kubota I agree with others and would check with a truck tire company. I have had great experience with McCarthy Tire here in Virginia where I had to replace a few tires on...

    Well the season is underway

    The dang coyotes have reduced my whistle pig population to near zero these days so I have turned my 25-06 and 22 mag on them. Those fellas seem to go right to sleep after that loud crack. :cool:

    Safety recall on my Z726XKW-3-60

    I found this online a few minutes ago as I wanted to see if my old 2017 Kawasaki on my Husqvarna Zt was effected. It seems only the 2023 models are impacted at this time. "The recalled engines are model year 2023 FR730V, FR691V, and FR651V. The engine model and serial number are located on the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Moving a bit of dirt again today as well as cutting the back field. Then it happened, oh well time for the next round of maintenance. I already have the filters and fluids on hand.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    A little bit of gravel and I can finally get to the back of the property without driving all the way around the outer edge. 2 - 12 inch drains to handle the rain and run off. The Kubota moved a fair amount of dirt for this one.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Hah, I know it's not orange. I let the Kubota rest in the shed today after moving a bunch of dirt and rocks yesterday filling in around some 12 inch drainage pipe so I can cross a wet weather drainage area. Today I woke up the ole Ford, changed the fuel filter, changed the oil and filter and...

    The Eclipse

    I made it home today from my trip and can say my trip was none of the hype that the media had projected. We were in a rural area of New York on Lake Erie and the local restaurants and wineries had signs $20 for parking etc. It was a a bit cloudier than we hoped but still got the full...

    I think I've made my retirement decision....

    I bailed and joined the retiree club January 1st this year and am wondering how I had time to work. I too was in management, burned out and becoming increasingly frustrated with the political correctness nonsense and not being able to fire those that desperately needed to be fired. So far I am...

    Underground storage

    Man this brings back memories. My sister bought one of these new back in 77, the ugliest green color I have ever seen. She had good luck with it and gave it to one of my brothers around 90 and he drove it until it finally met its match with a guard rail after he dozed off on the interstate.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Was out working in the yard and decided to till the one of the garden spaces for my cool weather crops which I will plant this weekend. Garden was crusty dry on top but still a bit damp underneath but worked up pretty good. I also had a bit of a pucker when my loader stopped working correctly...

    The Eclipse

    Wait a minute, my wife and I are heading up to Westfield, NY. I booked it last year with my planned retirement before the hype set in. We are hoping for sunny skies but it will still be an experience for the total eclipse even if there are some lake effect flurries. :ROFLMAO:
