J, When I did my "hood renovation" I ordered new "KUBOTA" and "L3800" stickers for both sides of the hood. I was amazed at how cheap they were in comparison to motorcycle stickers. I think the KUBOTAs ran $11 apiece and the nicer L3800s ran $16 or so apiece. Quick and easy part if you have a...

Skeets- I mentioned the whole "used" issue in another thread. The seller told me the parts were right around a grand. Turns out he was about 30% off. He had $27K in the 8 month old tractor/loader with a roof, rototiller, box scraper, and rake. The last two items had never been used. I gave...

One thing we bought is a couple 13,000 lb ratchet straps from Homey 'Po. Those are great because you can vary them from 6" to fifteen feet. I have to move a cast concrete fountain and the base will pick up with those ratcheted tight. We also have to move landscape boulders. I couldn't find any...

WOW. That was my list to Santa a couple years back!!! You guys have seen my "Rescue Kubota" with the mashed hood. My $.02... or, "The Used Option" The guy I bought mine from had $27K in that L3800 HST with the front end loader -plus tax, I believe. He bought it with the KingKutter rototiller...

Remodels seem to go on forever... I have leftover stone on three partial pallets that will be used later. Right now, they look like they fell off a passing truck. Moving all this stone by hand would have taken forever! Using "Kubota MAGIC!!!," I chained one pallet and moved it out of the way...

Hydraulic leaks always have a source. The key is to look for a wet spot around a seal area or a hose area to find the source. If your tractor is dirty, tracking that down will be tougher. You might want to giver her a bath and focus on the front of the tractor around where the steering arm and...

Funny how you mention that... she always had an EXCUSE!!! :) Truth is... she would come over and watch quite often... Once she got some seat time, she got really interested in the needs of our tractor. "Make sure you have all the filters and fluids for the tractor and service it when it needs...

Somehow I think we are going to see this machine get the complete restoration it deserves after being abandoned. I really like your home made "wheelie bar" to hold the front of the tractor level for the split. Nice! Can't wait to see the pictures of this project over the next few months. :)...

HOLY MOLY! That thing must have sat idle for years. In rain! GREAT job getting it unfrozen and cleaned up. Lucky little tractor to get bought by you. Getting a zirc fitting in there shouldn't be too hard. The big question is: Can you drill out a 1/8 lube-tube accurately enough to intersect the...

Yes indeed, we now have adjustable chain sets! This was a 20' tow rig that we shortened by draping over the bucket with two strands. Fortunately, these concrete collars only weighed about 125lb. The cast iron flange mount was 200+ as were the dadgum sewer lids. Sure made it easy with the...

The factory spray cans shot a pretty bad spray pattern, fogging lots of orange peel out on the periphery of each spray pass. I had to violate the normal 12" distance I held the can from the hood to get a wet coat on, spraying about 6 inches away. By linking those wet passes, I got a pretty nice...

Grab a cup of coffee. This will take awhile… Last year, I bought a 24 year-old 5-acre horse ranch. The place needed kaboodles of remodeling. For starters, we had to rip out 20,000 lbs of Saltillo tile from the house floor and get that tile up, into the dumpster. We had to have a tractor just...
