The angle that the picture was taken makes it look a lot taller than it is. I was repairing my ROPS at the time that the picture was taken. Was bush hogging and clipped a low branch of an apple tree. The bottom of the splitter also has a hitch receiver that I use for towing a tandem trailer...

Log splitter that I built a few years ago. No lifting of logs required and have split logs over 24" in diameter.

I am surprised that the BH is not attached using a proper subframe as recommended by Kubota. On my B7200 I installed a Woods BH650 originally without a subframe. I soon demolished the upper link attachment bracket. One day the tractor stalled and I found that the small bolts that attach the...

I regularly move my 5 x 12 heavy duty tandem trailer with the fel. The most I put in the trailer though is brush so not too much weight. I also tow the trailer attached to a ball on the bottom plate of my log splitter that is attached to my 3ph. Can get a bit sketchy though with a full load...

Unless you live in Canada. Literally the most expensive service in the world. The smallest package available is in the range of $65 a month.

Local companies charge about $1700 for a two man crew or $ 2300 for a three man crew for a whole day. That includes a boom truck and a chipper. You are the boss and tell them what you want done. I usually just have the trees brought down and cut into manageable lengths that I finish cutting...

I was having issues with numerous puncture's from hawthorn tree spikes. I tried slime which was a waste of money as it just eventually pushed through the tire. Ended up just plugging them from the outside and refilling with air. I eventually purchased new tires and put Kevlar liners in each...

I have had batteries last anywhere from a few months in a vehicle to up to 16 years in a John Deere garden tractor. Average though is in the 5-7 years. I remember having a conversation with a battery salesman years ago who said that he had a summer job as a student at a major battery...

When I bought my B7200 in 1985 I had a choice of a B7200 or a B8200 for the same price. I thought the profile of the tires on the B7200 would be easier on the lawn. I now wish I had gone for more power.

There is no instructions for the forward speed adjustment per say but if the reverse speed is faster than normal and the forward is slow I would think that the neutral position is out of position. It mentions that the pressure required to push the upper speed set lever (poor man's cruise...

This is from the WSM for my 1985 B7200 HSTr

After trying other belts I also agree that Kevlor is the only belt to install. I would think that your mower deck is similar to the mower that goes on my B7200. Its wheels ride on the lawn as you are mowing and also has a wide roller in the center of the back for anti-scalping. To remove I...

Lots of mushrooms on our lawn as well this year none of which I would eat. Puff balls brings back memories of my childhood on the farm in the 50's and 60's when we would collect puff balls in the woods to give to our doctor. He would slice them and fry them in lots of butter. For this he...

Not sure on your fabricating or welding abilities but any properly sized b/h can be attached to just about any tractor. I attached a Woods 3ph hoe to my b7200. I built a complete frame to accommodate it. I probably did overkill but it includes an upper frame that clamps the entire tractor...

Glad it worked out. If the key is what is worn, the proper way is to also replace it with a new one. This is usually a simple job.

Looked at my shop manual and it does show a key in the top of the shaft. Surely it has not worn out. I have seen aluminum keys where they break but were designed to break to stop more serious damage happening. The key on this shaft I assume is steel.

As I previously said it looks like the knuckle arm that is clamped around the top of the king pin is not tight. Does the top of this shaft move in relation to the knuckle arm when you move the tire side to side? By the look of the grease around the shaft it certainly appears loose. If that is...

From the picture the connection of the assembly to the top of the king pin appears to be not tight and is moving. If that is the case the bolt clamping it around the king pin might be able to be tightened. That and worn tie rod ends might be the cause of the slop.

They are probably 3/8" single wire hoses. This is one area where I use the best quality available as a failure of a hydraulic hose can be deadly. I had a couple of economic hoses made up years ago and within one year the outer rubber was all cracked. Twenty years ago I had three short hoses...
