    Where does your tractor sleep?

    Len, The loader and box scraper park on 3" rubber "bumpers" on the ground. This picture was when I had the roof off for fiberglass repairs of the damage from the prior owner. I wanted a picture of my repaired hood without the FEL in the way. I think this was a day after I put the hood all back...

    Where does your tractor sleep?

    In the "hoss" side of my barn... with the mess.

    The Site won't let me upload photos.

    Here is a test pic from me... I click on MANAGE ATTACHMENTS in the ADDITIONAL OPTIONS window below the text window and that opens a window that lets me search for my pics. It automatically goes to Web Pics (where all my down-sized pics are for web use). I use Lightroom for photo file...

    Welding Wire

    Thanks for the photos guys! Sounds like the perfect solution. The bracket I have that came with my new sign is a removable type bracket and I'll just make me up a mount so I can hang it when I need it. Thanks for the offer FT. Thanks for the link Len. Another example of our governmental...

    Welding Wire

    FT, Yeah, that bracket might get in the way using a backhoe... One other problem I never could resolve is where to put my highway triangle. I rarely drive more than a block away so it's no biggee but I thought about mounting the bracket up high on the ROPS so I could throw it on if needed and...

    Welding Wire

    Yooper, The work box will serve as a sink if I can seal up the holes the prior owner drilled in it. I hate having to run for a tool. Now I am loaded for bear. SCF, I washed it the week before I started all this welding "bidness." For a nearly 8 year old tractor with 360 hours on it it looks...

    Welding Wire

    Long overdue upgrades: Needed a new tool box that actually holds some stuff and is waterproof. Hadda enlarge the mounting location with some sheet stock. Much more useful. Tired of carrying my tools slotted through the support arms of my box scraper. So I made a tool rack... Holds a...

    Winter project

    Neat tool. A little elbow grease and paint and you should have a handy new device for your machine. Keep the pictures coming!

    Meaning Behind "Kubota" Logo?

    Len, My 2012 L3800 has the water drain in the bell housing. Never out in the rain. No rice paddies here in Arizona. Gets pressure washed a couple times a year. This "Water Buffalo" should outlast me and my kid.

    Meaning Behind "Kubota" Logo?

    Bill, Could that bull logo represent the water buffalo used throughout southeast Asia for farming? I don't think they use them in Japan but... Hmmm. You poor guys. You got off on the wrong foot. See, I sold the Kubota idea to my wife as "her" tractor to help me get our work done. I serve as...

    I never learn...

    At least you know the parts will go to keep other crawlers running. Body donors have a purpose too. Great effort though. Good thing its all made of styrofoam and plastic. That'll keep the mailing costs down. :rolleyes: Hope there are a lot of crawler repair projects close by.

    It must be a right of passage. Every generation believes they are in the end times.

    Extinction

    Skratch, I used to marvel at those cinder cones and the small volcanoes on arrival into Albuquerque. Kind of tortured landscape compared to the area around it. I have heard that there is a natural hot spring up in a state park west of Los Alamos. Ray

    Funny, I was just watching this today on the overdue Cascadia fault quake... 9.0+ for five minutes and a big tsunami with possible volcanic eruptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlr3ZLSfN0c&t=255s
