    Reduce or not reduce..Repainting my 1976 B7001

    Hey there boomer, Whenever we are using Kubota paints we do mix in a reducer - 4 parts paint, 1 part reducer (ie. 80% paint, 20% reducer). The reducer you want to use depends on what the temperature will be like when you go about painting. We have an article on paint reducers + Kubota paint you...

    B 7200 Clutch ??

    Selling the 7200? Say it isn't so! After all that work... Well, you'll surely get more $ for your equipment this way. Just like selling a car or a house - taking the time to clean it up a bit means you'll get all your $ back it took to restore it and then some. AND, you'll be well practiced...

    Major Project on the Horizon

    $800 is a GOOD deal! Damn, I gotta keep my eyes peeled. Looks like site prep is coming along - too bad about the cabin though. At least the materials can be reused over on your neighbour's side (thanks for sending him to the site btw :).

    Major Project on the Horizon

    4 post lift!? Now that would come in handy... hmmm.... Vic, if we cut a hole in the roof and then just tarpped it over whenever we didn't need it we could have one too! Could work... :D Sounds like a great project Michael!

    Major Project on the Horizon

    Well looks like your project is breaking ground tomorrow. Vic has put up the odd garage himself in his day - right from leveling the site, concrete, framing, etc. all the way up to cracking a beer at the end of it all! 38' x 36' is a good size. Lotsa room to work. Something that we did in our...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    Dusty, that's what I call taking a "screen shot". :D If you want to skip taking your camera out in the future and send someone something that's on your monitor here's how: 1) press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard - usually up above the "home" and "page up" keys, near the top 2)...

    L3130-HST first 50 hr service

    Forgot to ask - do you have a loader installed or plan to install one on the equipment?

    L3130-HST first 50 hr service

    Hey Bill, If I'm reading the specs correctly, your L3130 takes about 11 gallons of fluid. The stuff Kubota sells is about $90/5 gallons so you'd be around $200 for the fluid. BUT, WalMart does offer some more reasonably priced fluid as well, around half the price. Troy, another user on here...
