The "scrub brush" and "pricker bushes" will probably just grow back through it anyway.

While we're on the topic of cleaners, ammonium chloride compounds (aka, quaternary ammonium compounds) are useful for cleaning...and disinfection. That's what "Lysol" is today. [Back when I was a kid, the active ingredient in Lysol was cresol, which stinks like creosote.] Almost everything in a...

Oh, bikermike, DO TELL! My wife bought me a bottle of moisturizing shampoo. "But, hon I don't have dandruff!" I like it when my hair is squeaky when I rinse it out after shampooing. I'm going to add a teaspoon of Dawn to the bottle and see if that makes a difference! -P

Thanks, Mike, and Wolfman, The thought occurred to me that the 3-cylinder 1.6 DI engine in Mike's L2501 could have a bowl in the piston top, just like the turbo engines. If that is the case, except for a possible injection pump mismatch with a boosted engine, the combustion chamber should still...

Hi Folks, Recently, the subject of turbocharged Kubota engines has come up repeatedly. I am in the market for an older, 20th century, L-series tractor, and have become somewhat obsessed with what opportunities might exist for that tractor to be powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine...

Hi kayaken, I just received a Parts List for L3202 and L4202: How can I help? When I opened it up, the first thing I looked at in this list was the part number for the cylinder head assembly. There are two shown, one for the V1502 (15461-03042) and one for the VT1502 (15471-03042). The VT is...

Here is the complete (314 page) summary of the investigation by the International Trade Commission which led to the lawsuit brought by Kubota. The report, "In the Matter of Certain Agricultural Tractors Under 50 Power Take-Off Horsepower" is dated March 1997...

Appreciate the reply, Wolfman, Just for fun, I searched "Kubota 4202" on Youtube. Dozens of videos of L4202s for sale....in Vietnam. Was great to see and hear them running around. Great looking tractor! I did notice that the operators struggled with shifting, and there were some mysterious...

Oh, and I was doing some more research on the L4202. This is maybe in the realm of trivia nobody cares about, but I was wondering about that 16-speed manual transmission, which I came to find out was manufactured by Daedong, a Korean company. Interestingly, Daedong collaborated with Kubota for...

...or, breaking a transmission! Points taken, Paul L. The hot rodding comments were kind of a joke, but inquiring minds want to know what is possible. With my son, we've done a fair amount of hobby hotrod garden tractor pulling. Never got to the semi-pro level, due to other life commitments...

Hi folks, Been doing some serious research into an L-series purchase. For such purchases, I've always tended to discover which model I'd prefer, then wait for an opportunity to come along. Rather than settle for the first thing that comes along. I'm attracted more to earlier models. I was...

Ya, what stops me on that idea is the Suggested Retail Price: $17,683. Just not in the budget, if I want that Hemi this year, too. Thanks, P

Ya, Wolfman, I had concluded that finding a loader to match a 30-year old tractor would be tough... One thought I had was: 1. Buy BOTH the L2350 and the L2550. 2. Repair the L2550. 3. Swap the loader from the L2350 to the L2550. 4. Sell the L2350. Your posting encourages me to snap up the...

Hi Folks, I've pretty much decided to sell my 1954 Farmall Cub, and get something a bit more capable. I have about 1/4-mile of steeply sloped driveway to maintain - winter snow removal and summer grading (asphalt grindings). I am also aiming to sell about 9000BF of timber from my 12-acre...

lugbolt and his $50 car reminded me of something I had a long, LONG time ago: That's my 1950 Dodge pickup. Sorry, the nose is cropped. It had the stainless grille pieces. I bought it in a sealed bid auction by the local school district....for $25 in 1976. I was the only bidder. It had been...

Back in the 1990s when I was just 40 years old, I cleaned out a small (1000SF surface area) leaky pond with a wheelbarrow and a shovel. <spit> As I recall, it was about 200 wheelbarrow loads of wet silt. Made great garden soil! Then, I spread about 20 bags of bentonite on the bottom of the pond...

Been driving for 50 years now. Never ever had a sticker on any of the seven cars I have driven. Keep 'em guessing. I do notice that I often seem to 'get a pass' on the road. I figure it's because I drive an ex-military vehicle that looks like it's ex-military, and I have a full head of...

Looks like this thread is sufficiently diverse for this: Saw an L175 advertised locally last week with a 4 foot blade for $2900. I was thinking about it as a replacement for my 1948 Farmall Cub, which I find somewhat less than dependable. I've kind of discounted making the switch, as the L175...
