    My uncle is a used car dealer and rather knowledgeable with cars and the entire history, from the day Walter P. Chrysler or Henry Ford was born.

    B6000 electrical/charging

    Is it wrong that I have actually used the hot wires from the glow plug on the dash panel to light a cigarette with? A Marlboro fits perfectly inside and it works!

    bx2200?

    I can't speak for a BX2200, but I do know you'll be more then pleased with a Kubota no matter which model or year you choose. These little suckers are built like an Abrams tank, I think if some Kubota's had track's on them they'd probably beat most tanks. I own an older B6100E its 14hp and I get...

    1st Yr. Apprentice? 2nd Yr.?

    I've had somewhat of a similar issue, but I thought mine was do to inactivity. Sometimes I would log on read and make a few post's and still be what I thought was logged on and then it would asked me to re-log in again. I figured it was due to me not being active and it logged me off after a...

    Bad tire - good tire

    LMAO yeah I've used that method too and it scares the hell out of people! Alot of people dont know that you can fill tires without a tire chuck on the end of an air hose, just stick the end of the house over the valve stem and push down it will blow the tires up.

    Bad tire - good tire

    If you happen to have an air compressor, you can break the bead and re seat in with just the compressor. Go to your local auto parts store and buy a tire tool that takes the valve stem core out from the inside. It opens the whole up and allows more air in to where you can re seat the bead on the...
