    3 point backhoe

    I appears, from your post, that you understand the issues with a 3 pt set up. Trying to add braces or other support still brings all the energy/torque back to the three point...and will stress the hell out of it. The backhoe is a heavy, long extension that exerts great force in multiple...

    LA 463 QA part number

    Thanks Wolfman...I knew you would come through! I found that number and QA KU11 as the two that kept coming up in my research. I don’t know if they are the same thing or not...but I will try my dealer for the L2230.

    LA 463 QA part number

    I have been trying to figure out what the Kubota part number is for the factory QA for the LA 463... I bought the loader in 2009...new. I am open to other suggestions...but would prefer to use the proper Kubota parts. Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks.

    bh77 cracked/missing weld ?

    I think that should be fine. If it bugs you then take it back and get the dealer to look at it...or beef it up. I beat the absolute hell out of my rig in boulder country...no issues and my welds in the same places are the same inconsistency as yours. Stuff breaks...learning to weld is a good...

    Glock G40 10mm

    To get things really going... It is still a plastic gun. If you are going to hunt with a hand gun (not really sure why...seems like a great way to wound an animal...not kill it...that is another debate)...get a real gun. You know...like a 1911 from Nighthawk or Wilson...just sayin...:D

I bent the unbroken part back by setting the un bent part down on a block of wood...pounded the bent part back with a 3 pound sledge...carefully. Welded it back up with a stiffener piece as well. No problems since. They are...

    diesel oil

    The cost of oil is not an issue for me...my question is...is switching to full synthetic with the different weight oil (5w-40 for syn vs.15w-40) better for the engine over the long haul? I have been using T4 for years....if the switch is easier and better for the engine. Tractor is listed in...

    Trailer Tie downs

    Check with your DMV or state... Some states require rated chains and associated hardware to be used on public roads... Straps can stretch and snap under extreme loads in wrecks...you are not only supposed to tie it down to tow...but to remain safe during unplanned events like emergency braking...
