The latches have an ingenious latch that locks them closed, preventing opening. But, it can also latch the hitch open, bypassing the latch in case you want to pick up something and just move it. Or, if you want to unhook an implement, you can bypass the latch and then set the implement down and...

Hope you guys are right! Problem is, as we saw in the last "crash" in 2008, derivatives played a huge role in that meltdown. This time, financial institutions and banks appear to have bought huge derivative contracts and the one's on oil will require them to pay the difference between the...

Any good online source for Hodges Stabilizers?

For those of you on the fence, I thought this might help... The installation was straightforward. Glance through the instruction sheet before starting or you may have to demount them to get the shims to fit like I did. :) Two heavy cast iron latches come with the kit... You get plenty of...

Oil Derivatives Explode in Early 2015-Rob Kirby By Greg Hunter On January 4, 2015 In Market Analysis 194 Comments By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release) Gold and derivatives expert Rob Kirby thinks crashing oil prices are going to lead to a 2008 style financial meltdown...

Its great to have a wife not afraid of your tractor... or her tractor. :) My wife hasn't run mine in months but, I needed to hoist my rototiller implement into an out of the way place. She hopped on and got the 800 lb load right where I needed it and I guided her down to a perfect position. She...

Are we spoiled or what? And part of my noise is the HST fluid noise. Thing sounds like its gonna 'splode when I am traveling at a blistering 21mph. I have never gone beyond 2500 rpm and I am afraid to do so.:eek: Even the cheapest bare-bones car today has technology everywhere. Probably why...

Remember, the manufacturer treats the dealer like customers, because that is what they are. They just have somewhat better access to the manufacturer than you and I do. After watching Bingham Equipment here in Phoenix have to go to the mat several times with Kubota on my 3-pt issue, it cannot...

Great news by someone who has been there. Is this forum great or what? Also, be sure to wipe out the piston cylinder with fresh fluid to get all the honing leftovers. Do it twice. Or three times! And when you go to assemble it, coat both the rings and the cylinder with fresh fluid so nothing...

Backfire: Working like it is supposed to work. Valve assembly replacement seemed to have done the trick. I can adjust my box scraper up by 1/2" or less consistently. Before, it jerked up about 2" at a time. Synthetics: I remember when Mobil 1 came out and they guaranteed you could drive...

Will this work to get out those pesky wrinkles in my tractor seat?

When I test drove my L3800HST in high range, it almost deafened me! Now, I regularly wear headphones (with AM/FM!) when operating at anything outside of low range and mid power. The reason is, tractors use straight cut gears. Cars used to have straight cut but went to helical cut because they...

It probably tells you to do this in the manual but...:) Run by a drug store and pick up some $.79 white nail polish! Your 3-pt is probably similar to my L3800 3-pt though the control valve may be different. Look at the pictures on this thread...

"May we wake up and change before there's not enough room in the harbor to turn the boat around!!!" AMEN!!! But, you left us hanging!!! After all that effort, does the tractor run as good as new? I hope so! I would have been on their door step, flywheel stack under my arm, the very next day...

Another perspective! Drones are fun... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEhIDJPeo1o

Rent-a-kid.com Try those for awhile and you may NEVER have grandkids!!! :)

Just tell the 10 year-old grand son, "Don't move this lever!" He'll have it broken in in no time. :)

I think you would be money AND time ahead doing that. Any luck sourcing one nearby? I shudder to think what Kubota would want but does Kubota even offer replacement engines? Tractors are funny beasts. They rarely die in fiery crashes at intersections or in multi-tractor pile-ups on the freeway...

My old F-1700 was 30+ years old when I got it. The throttle lever was able to shut off the fuel supply if you went that last 1/8 inch. Having that ability would be handy for a mechanical fuel control gone goofy. Sure was fun getting the tractor to idle incredibly slow...:) "pahhh-tookahhh...

Somebody once said that after maintenance, or when spanking new, the two pistons are not exactly in the same position. Think of it this way, mis-adjust your two pistons so one is one inch farther out than the other. Putting fluid in or taking it out doesn't change piston position, one relative...
