    General Lee's been hit!!!!!!! *******Updated with new Poll**********

    Might try to straighten. Gearwrench indexing pry bars help with that type of work. New line not too expensive to replace and be a sure fix. Good catch on the leak.

    Looking to trade my new R1s for R4s (L2501)

    There are many advantages and disadvantages to the different tire types. Listing the sizes you have and what you need would be helpful in finding what you want. Dealers often have tire packages might do deal swap with like-new tires. Owners wanting to swap an option too.

    3 pt Leveling Arm with Crank

    I will. BH is on now. if you noticed I had to use an U link(blue) that was extra from the modified sway control bars to connect at top. Weavers should have a similar piece available to make that connection. Just have to be mindful of overall length.

    Glad you’re thinking about safety. Like the OEM safety lift cylinder block on the M59 and use it often. Having safety devices quick and on-hand improves their use.

    Kubota M62 Rear Remotes

    The M59 and maybe the M62 tractor has two directional valves that change from 3pt to backhoe use. The backhoe has three quick disconnects. Two supplies, swing and everything else. One return that I think is open to tank. The everything else pump includes the backhoe thumb or auxiliary rated at...

    Kubota M62 Rear Remotes

    Interested in how you resolve. Your M62 may have different hydraulics than my M59 Thought about adding rear remotes to my M59 for topNtilt also. Wondered if simply using two of the three quick disconnects for the backhoe like the swing circuit pair could supply the rear remote valves? Could...

    Quick Attach SSQA DIY Fabrication for B7510 LA302 FEL Bucket

    Nice work! Enjoy the flexibly of attachments. You certainly have the skills to make custom attachments. The cross/space member is substantial. Still would be careful supporting much weight. The heal of the bucket is important in finishing grading and smoothing. Using the cutting edge to do...

    Kubota B26 three point hitch wanted

    Sorry that was seven years ago. Should have kept better notes. Sway bars from eBay about $120pair and had to be modified cut/weld to fit. Same bars modified to fit M59 so built tough. Leveling box from weaver tractor supply. Had to use one of the sway bar end yokes to connect leveling box.

    B26 Hydraulic Side Link

    My stabilizers are cheap import ($110 both). Used the same for the M59. So they are tough. Mark’s are much higher quality. The Longer lift arms helps when connecting pto shafts.

    Newbie-question about KX040-4 and flail mower

    Your right to question. First is your machine compatible, second, operator skill greatly determines success and longevity of such an attachment. Acres? Can clear a lot of brush with a piranha toothbar or grading bucket.
