I did not know they made a compound with Teflon, that's a great thing to point out. Every time I use that stuff I end up with on my face and in my hair! Paint thinner or gasoline are the only way I can ever get it off me. I was in my garage earlier and looked at the generic brand I have made...

For future reference, I would bet your original fittings didn't need to be replaced. You just may have needed to apply a touch of thread compound to it and let it setup. 9 times out of 10 JIC (compression fittings with a running thread) need a bit of sealant between the metals that seat...

Remove that, it's just a thread protector.

Pick up some Permatex thread sealant or any thread compound that does not contain Teflon. Rectoseal #5 works well too but not as good as Permatex (Permatex can also be called tough grip, it's mainly a thick black compound found in any plumbing supply stores or even Home Depot). Very few thread...

eBay is your best bet if your looking for aftermarket parts

Golden eagle has it for $475, the part number changed to 17341-63010. In the future try searching kubota part dealer's websites, they usually have it or can order it. I would assume one could get a starter for anything with a little searching ;)

That is very nice, it looks better than new! I love these old tractors and how advanced they were for their time. At the same time they are built to be able to repair anything with a few hand tools.

Thanks guys, I did find that manual but my gear box is not covered under that.... I did email durst hopefully they will get back to me today. Wolfman you make complete sense. This model takes grease for lube but I would assume it would need at least one breather. Being that is is a sealed...

Is there anyone out there that has any knowledge of this gear reducer? As I said before I did not get a manual with it and honestly don't have any knowledge of them. It's a durst brand 10:1 and I have a stupid question. It came with 2 breathers that I'm assuming need to installed on the sides...

I believe you #11 is the "squeegee" as some call it. Mine was a bear to get out but I believe I had to collapse it to get it out, I don't have a any fancy presses or anything. When I set the new one I used a brass set pin, any soft metal would work fine, just use a nice thin oil to lube it up...

I'm new to owning a tractor but have purchased a lot of parts for my old girl. I found a lot of good buys on eBay and golden eagle for factory parts. Filters I picked up at Wally World and Napa along with oil. Our local kubota dealer got shut down a few years back for fininacing people with...

That's a great idea with the chain, I never thought of that, thanks for input. I've decided to use the sprocket as a gear, it should work out just fine. I have a gear reducer mounted to the motor so my math says the drive gear should spin at .33 RPS. That will rotate the chute 180 deg in 9...

Good for him, addiction is the devil, glad to hear he went straight and did something that will have a positive effect on his future. I hope he stays that way and kudos to you for pushing him. I don't have any kids but I deal with it within my family, not an easy thing when they don't want to...

Well I got my parts in today but I hit a major bump in the road. Even though the chute sproket is 3/4 pitch the teeth are a bit too wide for the roller chain. I may file all the teeth :( Or use my 10 T sprocket as a gear to turn the chute. Using it as a gear would work but I think it would...

Sadly that happens every day with food stamps and EBT. I know there are people out there that really need it and should get it and don't. From what I can see with my own eyes around here too many are getting it that don't deserve it. For example I stand behind a kid in his 20's buying 12 red...

Ohh yeah forgot to add.... Hang a few signs that say Danger Keep Out Serious Injury Or Death Could Occur Beyond This Point. Take a picture of it for your records in case you catch one so they can't sue you. :D

I hate thieves, luckily I haven't had the problem yet, but never say never. When I worked down in Charlotte, NC we had a few kx1213 track hoes. The company had a few stolen and started taking all of the main fuses out every night. What I do in my garage is set a few traps, just don't forget...

Thankfully we don't have that problem in the northeast. I did find this video of how to build a trap to catch those little stinky things, maybe it will work. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VwUuHhWYvDA

Tooljunkie that's interesting, I figured if someone was to do that on the regular they would have some sort system to help get the job done quickly.

Zatcke - that sounds like a good plan of attack to me and I like your idea of the 2 pail configuration to help separate the sediment. It's good to know that an increased temperature helps the cleaning process. I've never tried it because basically I'm usually working on a very large scale...
