    Kubota B2650 Winter Front Grille Cover

    Hi TimP, I'm guessing even though it looks pretty similar that there'd be enough subtle differences in the front and sides to make for an ill fit. Maybe others would know better from first hand knowledge. PM sent for another option. Regards, David

    Ordering my B2650 tomorrow or Tuesday, last minute advice?

    Re: rear remotes with backhoe on B2650 Here's some pics of what I wound up with from the dealership for a rear remote on my B2650. I didn't remount it for the pics but just held it somewhat in place where it had been placed on the right side of the rops and held in place with a large u-bolt...

    Traveling Men

    I started scuba diving in the early 1970s. Been to the Caribbean, Belize, Palau, Chuuk (WW2 Truk Islands). It would be hard to travel with all that gear now. Still have a few places I'd like to see under the waves but time is running out. Spent 3 weeks in Costa Rica last year but the...

    Ordering my B2650 tomorrow or Tuesday, last minute advice?

    Re: rear remote with backhoe installed mcicero, it might take me a little while but I'll get that rear remote out and get a few pics for you. I won't mount it back on the tractor as I'm about to put the cab back on for the winter. But some pics should show what's involved in the hookup. The...

    leaf vacuum power rake

    I'm sure resting easier now that you guys are getting used to that blower! :) Regarding blowing an increasingly larger windrow of leaves across the area: Depending on which way the wind is blowing, I have a couple of different ways that I divide up the areas I clean that almost eliminates that...

    Bogging down with snowblower

    I'm not sure if this question was meant for me, but if it was: I sew a bunch of high end neodymium magnets inside the outer seams of the covers so they just adhere to the metal hood/grill. Since the magnets are hidden and if you keep those areas free of metal dust or flakes then there is no...

    Welding Wire

    Cave Creek, first let me say that I did not intend to step on anyone's toes, but only to clear up/explain that there are basically two types of photo cells and the statements made previously leave a cloudy perception of what does what on an auto darkening helmet. After all, the more people...

    Bogging down with snowblower

    Sheepfarmer, your fast! And thanks for the compliment, sincerely. MontanaBoz, I just finished sewing up some covers again (I had some ready to go a while ago and they all sold quickly). I was going to put an add up shortly for this winter. I've been selling them (the full set) for $160...

    Welding Wire

    Actually they (your friend and the FIL) are partially correct! The confusion is in the terms and what the helmet is actually supplied with. All auto darkening helmets have a PD (Photoelectric Device or Photo Sensor) that is the high speed electronic light sensor that turns on the auto...

    Hydraulic Chute Deflection on Front Mount Snowblower

    DeepWoods, you'll be ready for the snow in no time now! Will be fun to see your pics when you get caught up. Regarding the grease thing: Depending on how your chute is attached to the main blower frame, I've found that leaving the clamp (or whatever is used) a little loose will let a little...

    Snowblower Front mount or rear PTO - Thoughts?

    OK....I know it's a losing battle but I'll post my views to help keep the sinking ship afloat for just a bit longer. :) I've had a Lorenz rear mounted blower for 30 years now. I use a wide mirror mounted in front and above me to view the blower and path behind me without turning around or...

    leaf vacuum power rake

    Here's a few pics of my blower purchased in the real early '90s. I should've taken the pics before using it today as it was much cleaner. It has a 24 inch impeller which looks about the same size as both your machines. I run with it just off the ground as much as possible. The wheels keep it...

    Hydraulic Chute Deflection on Front Mount Snowblower

    DeepWoods, Here's a few pics of my 12vdc linear actuator mounted on my snowblower chute deflector. The actuator has a 4 inch stroke and I believe was well under $50 on Ebay. A couple of homemade mounting brackets welded to the chute and it was put into operation. So far trouble free. Now...

    HST general question, BX1800

    birdadly, Congrats on your new tractor!! She's a beauty! From your pics it looks like you're in dairy country. I have family in the Cumberland area. Beautiful countryside there and where your at judging by your pics. It won't take long and the neighbors will be a little jealous of the new...

    Pa guys with CWW

    dirtydeed, that's a great plaque! I want one of those!!!:D I think their thinking is flawed. That would be a way to advertise where every gun in the state resides and would be a roadmap for the criminals to break in and possibly steal a weapon. Would just put more guns into the wrong hands...

    leaf vacuum power rake

    B737, That's a great tutorial for fitting the PTO shaft to the implement for the first time. Geo, one more thing the video might have mentioned....especially if you've never connected a pto shaft to your tractor before....is that it's always easier if the implement shaft is level and straight...

    leaf vacuum power rake

    Geo, you're right. Level the blower front to back with the top 3 pt. link and then raise/lower the blower til the blower shaft lines up with the tractor pto shaft. Then take your measurements from there. If I remember right there's instructions in the manual to calculate how much to remove...
