    Adapting JD 54” quick attach to BX2680

    I spent a while this afternoon measuring the JD blade and the front of the BX frame to see how I could fabricate a mount. Drew up a cardboard template to check for fitment, and made a sketch, then this evening I used TinkerCad to draw the mount as it should look. With this mount, I don't have...

    Adapting JD 54” quick attach to BX2680

    Those look great and similar to what I had in mind to put the JD blade on my BX. I assume those were CNC laser or plasma cut?

    Anyone here own a boat, or know a lot about boats?

    Back in 2001, I bought a Beechcraft Debonair after I sold my Cessna 172. A friend commented that I must be rolling in dough if I can afford an airplane. I told him He must be doing much better than I was, as I knew he had almost double what I paid for the plane in his F250 Super Duty, 20' Sylvan...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    With over 1500 hours on my BX, and not knowing if the valve lash had ever been checked, I pulled to rocker cover off and checked them. Out of the six, four were out of spec, one too tight and three too loose. Adjusted those and double checked all of them, put the rocker cover back on and ran it...

    Have you noticed the full moon?

    Bx2230

    My BX2230 certainly has a seat switch, because I had to adjust it so it didn't kill the engine if I shifted forward in the seat. Why all the disrespect for our older tractors? Not everyone can afford or even wants a shiny new tractor.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yesterday was warm but VERY windy, so I decided to do the annual end of mowing season service on my BX. Drained the oil, changed the oil filter, air filter and the fuel filter on the engine. After the oil had drained, I installed a quick drain valve, which should eliminate a lot of the oil mess...

    Wire gauge

    I'm going to do the same thing. I want to adapt the 54" blade off my JD430 to my BX. I have all the mounts that go on the 430, and once a couple of other projects are finished up, I'm going to get'er done. What measurement(s) do you need? I think the 425 and 430 use the same attachment, and my...

    Electric Car in your future?

    I have the same problem with my '04 Town Car. If I don't drive it for 10 days to two weeks, the battery will be dead or nearly so. I have checked the parasitic draw a couple of times, and it shows only 20-30ma which should only amount to at most .72AH per day or 5 AH per week. That shouldn't...

    How crazy are you about topping off your tank?

    You mean it's 15kW? 15,000kW is 15,000,000 watts. That would be a pretty big generator, and it SHOULD handle your whole house without bumping the governor.

    No CC

    Besides, when you pay cash at a mom and pop store, if you don't get a receipt, the sale probably isn't recorded, so it's untaxed income. Years ago at a local restaurant, when you went to the counter to pay, if it had been a pretty busy day the owner would just leave the cash drawer open taking...

    BX2200 hydraulic leak just over the filter

    That's what I told him on TBN yesterday. Looks pretty obvious a bolt is missing.
