    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    What's really amazing is you find this old rusted plow....and you landscape the entire front of your house for it!!:D

    Re-power a Bobcat 825 skid steer...

    Then I needed to fabricate engine mounts for the front of the V2203 that attached to the hyd. pump. I started off with some plate I match drilled to bolt to the lower sides of the block, and was going to "somehow" get that steel to the holes where the mounts for the Perkins were. After...

    Re-power a Bobcat 825 skid steer...

    Ok, I need to update. I took the engine mount from the Perkins which was on the "back' end (actually by the fan) and modified it to fit the V2203. The bottom part already fitted to the 825, so I just had to mount brackets to the side of the engine and adapt them to the existing upright side...

    Does this look right to you?

    What Lil Foot suggested is probably the proper way to clean it up. I'd take a cut off wheel and cut the threads off at the top of the existing nuts. Then take a grinder and round them off and go digging.

    digging a level base with a FEL

    Removing hard packed soil without a toothbar can present problems, esp. if you're inexperienced. But learn to recognize when the bottom of your bucket is level with the ground. Usually best done by being aware of the slope of the top iron on the loader bucket. Many bucket have a plate...

    Yes..another newbie owner post.

    So you're saying restoring the Galaxis is worth the time to restore, but not the tractor...because the tractor won't be worth much when done? I think someone in your family gets on this forum when no one else is looking! Better get "tiny" under control.

    thoughts on a used B2650

    "The tractor has 500 hours which seems pretty high but looking for thoughts." Just getting broke in! 500 hours is nothing, if proper service has been carried out.

    Phone rings, 8:50 AM.

    Alleyyooper, you said, "They should make lawn mowers so those to dumb to run one right can't mow so short they pick up rocks and throw it." That's the very thing you're complaining about!:D Use to be push the clutch, turn the key...and off you went. Now all these safety switches are the...

    Pulling a seal...

    I took the shiny front page of a magazine and cut it to cover the splines (shiny side out). About 1/2" longer, and wrapped it around the splines also. Put some grease from the grease gun on the splines to hold the shiny paper. Used some grease on the seal lip. Got the paper started inside...

    Lake traffic undercutting retaining wall

    Pretty much what post #2 said. Make sense to me, just like on the face of a Corp of Eng. dam.

    Kubota. 8560

    If it set outside it may have moisture in the fuel. If the tank wasn't full that can add to the condensation. Might drain some fuel in a glass container and see if water eventually appears.

    LB552 Loader

    Bogey52, welcome to the forum and gotta feel good getting a machine back in top shape. Looking for a Kubota loader that is in inventory somewhere might be a "pipe dream", new or used...but especially new! On this forum most will advise folks buying new tractors to get a loader THEN because...

    Yes..another newbie owner post.

    Cathy tells us a while back about a tractor that was ran after the oil plug came out....the engine is fine, nothing to worry about. Now today, scrap this tractor...it reportedly overheated and doesn't run. Don't bother looking at it, just scrap it. Did you forget your meds today?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Sharryn, that's an unusual find! Thankfully it was buried deep enough that nothing was sticking up to catch a mower or a tire. Must have been buried when it just wasn't worth anything to recycle metal, and every farm had it own landfill in some low spot. When I find something like that I...

    Pulling a seal...

    I have a 730 Case that has been leaking fluid at the right rock shaft arm seal. I stuck my camera back in the area to get a close up of what held it all on. A snap ring. So I got the ring out, and removed the rock shaft arm with the linkage. There is 8" between the housing where the seal is...

    Cheap "block heater"

    I have a dip stick heater I bought years ago. It's like 75 watt. You just as well buy a cup of coffee, at least it will warm YOU up! And the oil pan heaters are usually magnetic and require a steel oil pan to attach to. Do as Toomany suggest, install a heater in the water jacket.

    1630 FEL doesn't lift

    Jerry, welcome to the forum. A loader valve should be rebuildable with the proper O rings. Unless a spool gets ruined somehow, that's about all there is.
