    Installing a new lawn

    I did similar when I built my house, needed grass for erosion control. I got a 275 tote and pump and visited the local pond often. (Well water).. contractor mix worked quick but not long term. Ended up overseeing over the years with a better mix. The last few years seed about doubled in price, I...

    Installing a new lawn

    Without irrigation growing grass in CT in the spring starts off great, then summer hits and it usually comes to a screeching halt. I always preferred to wait til late summer/early fall. It will sprout up nice with the cooler days and dew overnight, kinda go dormant for the winter then grow...

    98 L35 no crank no start

    I have to hold my pto lever to the left with my foot when I turn the key. The safety switch is just out of adjustment. I decided not to fix it. At one time the shift lever did the same, I’d have to fiddle with it while turning the key. That one I fixed..

    Why I hate wire fences…

    Sad. The fur on the ground and bare dirt tells the struggle. 😕

    A really bad day

    I read where some older tractors such as my model would blow out back there if you were running say a brush hog through a field and a hidden stump or rock caused the implement to raise violently off the ground. Not sure if newer models are subject to the same.

    SVL 95-2s Turbo replacement

    So some fine particles could of been ingested, if visible wear is on the compressor and exhaust wheels. Can you make the wheels contact the housing? There’s usually a little side to side play which is normal, that gets taken up when the center cartridge is pressurized with oil. In and out play...

    SVL 95-2s Turbo replacement

    How did your old turbo fail? Did it come apart internally? If so metal shrapnel ingested into the intercooler (if applicable) or intake piping/cylinder head is a legit concern. If it were just bad oil seals and smoking which caused it to need replacing that would be a different story.

    Greasing your machine....The hate/hate relationship.

    I use old rags damp with diesel fuel. Gets the gunk right off. Wear rubber gloves!

    Winter ???

    We were in the 4-8” or 6-12” range depending what outlet you listened to, and are lucky if we made the lower end of that forecast. It seems it warmed up a bit and that may of impacted the storm total. Seems like it’s pretty wet and heavy. It’s still snowing a bit but does not appear that it’s...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    One of this years projects was to refurbish my old plow. The skin was rotted out so I found a place in PA that custom makes them. I then sandblasted, reskinned and repainted everything. Today I bolted on the cutting edge and mounted it to the tractor since starting the project. We are expecting...

    L35 TLB Restoration - Greasing pins is good - (UPDATE Jan 8)

    I did bushings last year on my tractor, I recall them being quite a challenge. Lots of heat, and a 8lb sledge won the war.

    2024 projects

    Dry wood (hardwood such as oak takes 3 years, softwoods like pine/spruce usually around 16 months) and a warm flue helps prevent creosote. Chimneys like yours will benefit from a insulated liner. Burn habits help as well, tube stoves need to be run warm enough for the secondaries to light off...

    In need of a BT1000 Backhoe

    “N.O.S.” New old stock. I can see maybe if somebody had a engine fire or maybe front end wrecked in a crash a backhoe can come available.

    1999 B21 won't start..

    Either the relay or the coil itself would be my best guess.
