    A little Encouragment To Go To Work Today

    Your absolutely right, they should go after them for money, but I doubt they will. Experts are saying they will get an attorney paid for with tax dollars. Like I said before in MA most criminals are treated like victims, it's insane. We had some heroin heads rob my wife's bank she works at a...

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    Thanks for the input guys! The only reason why I'm a bit nervous of running it a higher speed is because my manual for the blower says not to exceed 540 rpm. It has a superior 200 gearbox and it states a higher rpm will blow the seals of the gearbox. To top it off, the previous owner put a...

    A little Encouragment To Go To Work Today

    As you go to work today to put food on your table, up here in Taxachusetts, you can win a million dollars and still suck off the system. Hopefully our liberal state will make a major change this year and vote in Charlie Baker who vows to fix the welfare system. Unfortunately, most people of...

    B219 loader cylinder rebuild

    That diagram is from my original B205 Dozer blade manual. It is a little confusing but just pay attention to figure 8, disregard the angle cylinder even though they mix the part lists. The rebuild kit number matches the part number for your cylinder, but they may be different length in stoke...

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    Well Wolfman I'll take your word for it and do as you suggested, thanks for the input. Quick question, with the b7100's throttle petal, are you supposed to run the tractor at full throttle for a long period of time or will that burn the engine up? My tractor seems to be missing the oil...

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    I just ordered all of the parts, holy sticker shock :eek:. This b7100 better throw some snow! I'm a bit nervous that the tractor's PTO 514 rpm will effect the snowblower that is rated for 540. I know a lot of people out there use snowblowers on their b7100 but I'm still nervous. I'm in the...

    B219 loader cylinder rebuild

    You definitely can't go wrong with bringing them to a professional shop, if they fix them they have to guarantee them. Although, I've read many threads of guys complaining about the hydro shops stating that the rods were bent and they need to completely rebuilt, $$$. They ended up doing it...

    B219 loader cylinder rebuild

    I think your better off just buying the kit. That way you will have every seal and new lock rings to rebuild it, no guess work involved. For the oil I can't help you there but there are plenty of people on here that are very knowledgable with everything kubota. Here is a break down for your...

    BX front snowblower price

    It seems that everything for these tractors costs a small fortune. :eek: I don't know about your neck of the woods but around my area I've seen a lot of snowblowers of all sizes and types go up for sale on craigslist. Keep your eyes open and you may save yourself $1000 or more. The problem...

    Removing hardened 19mm bolt from cast iron L2800

    I've been there and done that with an easy out, once that breaks, it's not so easy! I do a lot of work on large fire pumps for fire sprinkler systems, typically with them everything rusts. One time I snapped two bolts holding the pump packing seals in so I went to the easy out. Snapped that...

    Favorite Chemicals for Coolant Flush

    I agree with the posts above of not running any cleaning chemicals through your system at any warm temperature, I never have, and should have been more in depth with my cleaning experiences. If it was me, and my radiator had a scale build up inside the radiator, I would remove and flush it...

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    So here is my final design to install this hurdaulic rotator. It sure has been a head scratcher and has taken me back to some math I haven't used in a long time. All of the parts needed including spool, hoses, motors, ect. Comes to $550 shipped to my door. A good $200 savings over buying...

    Adding Power Steering B7100 HST-D

    Very nice install, looks like factory equipment! I bet if you built a few kits and sold them you wouldn't have any problems selling them. I know I would be interested in one for a 7100D.

    Favorite Chemicals for Coolant Flush

    Yeah I would never do that. I wouldn't even put in in my sewer drains let alone my tractor. :eek: Draino is an extremely strong base that will turn cast iron into dust, so I could only imagine what it would do to an engine block. Very bad stuff and trust me it doesn't work, only creates...

    Favorite Chemicals for Coolant Flush

    I've dealt with the same problem within copper piping systems and also ice making machines. I've looked into using CLR but if you read their instructions they mention not to use it on copper. You guys may want to look into a ice machine cleaning solution. You have to cut it with water...

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    Re: B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there's Fell free to post anything, I have many questions of my own. Hydraulic power is a science of its own. Simple but highly technical. Much like the mechanical trades, learning the terminology and the many types of fittings is half the...

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    Thanks for your input! It is sad winter is on the way. I try to make sure everything works before it hits 0 deg. There is nothing worse than working in the frigid temps with frozen fingers and a locked up spine!

    B7100 hydraulic question for the pros out there

    That's great Wolfman feel free to post it on this thread. I've come up with my final design at it should work great for what I'm working with. The only thing to match up perfectly to the chute sprocket is #60 roller chain. 3/4 pitch by 1"bore sprockets are easy to find for $10. #60 chain is...

    Little info on what to charge?

    I hope my price didn't offend anyone, that's a realistic price for up here in Taxachusetts. $1000 for 10 hours of work using a $20,000 tool is not out of the ball park in my eyes. $300 cash is better than nothing. One major thing to think about is liability. Here in MA, if your a contractor...
