    Maybe you could provide a link to the one you ordered?

    WESTINGHOUSE GENERATORS

    POS until proven otherwise. These are quite literally the cheapest gensets available here. You'd have a tough time convincing me that 'specifications' under control of 'USA Engineers' go much beyond the landed cost...

    WESTINGHOUSE GENERATORS

    I mean, if you want cheap - go big! :):) Order the same POS from Ali Express: Even Harbor Freight (a company well known for high-quality, long-lasting, investment-grade tools and equipment) can't match the CHEAP of that Westinghouse unit!

    Machining question for lynnmor

    I put a 'swing-down' stop on the left side of my Kurt vise. I can easily use my edge finder to locate the back vise jaw as you describe, and them similarly locate the inside edge of the stop. Then the work goes in pushed against the stop as I tighten the vise.

    Buying a used machine

    I'm not sure I'd put much weight on the 'parts availability' or 'age' opinions from my local dealer. I often get the sense they'd rather sell me a new one. And who can blame them. Figure it out yourself. Go to Messiscks and search on some parts you're concerned about. The B7510 I...

    is it worth trying to find a bucket for my 1990's B1550?

    I'd looks for a similar vintage and size tractor with a loader already on it. Buy it, and sell yours. Chances are that could happen in months instead of years. The net cost would be about the same as your 'get lucky plan'. I'm pretty attached to my old B7100, but bought the B7510 with FEL...

    Inexpensive sickle bar mower for pond

    Hey - this is Kubota Talk. You need to build a SSQA adapter for that!

    Rewiring Air Compressor Control - solution, see last post

    Hmm. Any chance you pushed the wire in too far, and clamped the terminal screws down on the insulation instead of the copper conductor? Or maybe this contactor is a counterfeit POS off Amazon?

    Which Kubota is right?

    :unsure: If Kubota marketing hasn't done it yet, they really need to get a large army of chatbots deployed and into this site so that these 'what tractor should I buy' questions are more definitively answered. e.g. OP: "Should I get a BX or a B?" Chatbot1: "No one ever complained about...

    Which Kubota is right?

    None of your intended uses points to anything bigger than Kubota's smallest 4WD model fitted with a loader. You list nothing needing the PTO, so more HP isn't getting you a lot. You don't say what you want to spend, or whether you just want a big tractor for other reasons. So, from a purely...

    Converting B2620 to SSQA from Vevor

    Nice - Just enough clearance to engage the latch pins?

    BX-2380 overheating

    Fan belt slipping? Make sure the entire surface (top to bottom, all corners) of the radiator is clean. Inspect carefully, remove battery and screen, hose it out. Run the proper coolant mix - too much glycol isn't as good for heat transfer as the 50/50 mix

    Converting B2620 to SSQA from Vevor

    Since you asked in the 'fab and customization' forum, I assume you're wanting to fab something yourself? I have a recent thread on how I did it here. Been is use since the build - no regrets - it works great...

    Musk's New Truck

    Ugliest truck in the world. Also the coolest. I want one... I suspect this is destined to be another 'old guys pissing and moaning about EVs' thread though.

    Sizing Kubota Lowboy Generator

    Jeesh - quite a twist from your original plan of a whole-house Diesel set with ATS. I'd keep a backup backup generator if I had a 'Champion'...

    Discount Hydraulics.

    I ordered a batch of hoses in February. It took 5 days and a phone call before they shipped it - silence before then. Not, IMO, the greatest service, but the hoses seeem decent.

    I think I've made my retirement decision....

    I retired (mostly) at age 62 a year ago. I spent a long time before that pondering it. I finaly realized the only time I'd be 100% sure it was the right time was if I waited until I was dead. So, I settled for being 51% sure and haven't regretted it for a nanosecond since.
