gurn, you may have a real jewel hidden under all that dirt/mildew. Please check one thing before you try to turn it over. Make sure there is no water in the cylinders. Or try to turn it over with the glow plugs out. My brother tried to start an old IH that had got rainwater down in one of...

NICE! You do great work. Is the house next door for sale? I'm also curious how you fabricated some of the parts. I'm curious about the bucket. Did you have it bent at a machine shop in a brake? What is the thickness of that metal? Thanks and again - Great Job!

helomech, great idea! And thanks for posting the pictures. We all like to see what our fellow OTT folks are doing. However a word of caution from this corner. I was using my FEL in a similar fashion and thought I was cutting the tree down correctly and in the right direction. But the tree...

swivelgate, I wanted a set of forks for my QA (skidsteer type), but didn't want to pay the big bucks for them. I bought a used set off a junked forklift from the local Clark dealer that included the carrier. I then adapted it to fit the QA and have no regrets. They can take more abuse than I...

Welcome from the smokey side of Ft. Worth. You'll love OTT and looks like you're loving your new Kubota.

I had oil coming out of the valve cover under pressure on an old L4150 I had some years ago. I was ready to tear down the engine but was saved when an old timer mechanic found that the oil vent tube was stopped up by a mud daubber nest. Cleaned it out and all my oil leaks disappeared. Hope...

I agree with gktilton. I have my rear tires ballested with water/antifreeze. I use a rear mounted mower and like having as low a center of gravity as I can when mowing side slopes. I also have a ballast box which is a 55 gallon drum filled with concrete (about 900 lbs). I use it when I am...

Nice tractor! I also have a Kubota and a JD, except my JD is a '46. I learned my lesson years ago to never look down your nose at someone else's equipment/truck. I had a nice new 4WD vehicle and was so proud of it. However I got it stuck and needed a hand getting it out and it was getting...

You are doing a great job restoring that BH. Thanks for keeping us updated. Please post some pictures of it when you're finished.

Great Job! Thanks for posting. You are still fighting snow where you live and we have vegetables coming up in our garden. We've already had highs in the 80's. We're also very dry. Officially, we've only had about 0.01" of rain in March. No matter where you live, there is always something...

Butch, I had a leaking front seal on my L35. This has been about 5 years ago. I bought the parts to fix the leak. On this one, it needs a press to put it back together. I use a vice and expanding clamp I bought to weld with. I finally got it back together and it still leaked, but not as...

dylan, I don't know what HP your B3200 has, but to compare, I have an L35 with I'd guess 28 to 30 pto HP and I am running a 6' BushHog finish mower. The L35 handles it just fine. I do have to slow down in really heavy thick grass, but I think you'd have to do that with most tractors. Good Luck!

Next, check the fuse. If the fuse is good, it may be nothing more that a burnt out bulb(s).

I have to echo what Ed said about high pressure fluids. My brother got his thumb injected by some hydraulic fluid. He went through pure hell and lost part of his thumb over it. He still has most of his thumb now, that is after several operations/plastic surgery. He put his thumb over a...

Man, I feel sorry for that man's family. I could see this happening if it was a pull type bushhog. I know from my own experience (and I've been driving tractors for about 50 years now) it can happen in an instant. I was bushhogging with my L4150 that did not have a roll bar. It had the...

Bub, I have no idea what is going on with your tractor. But this reply will pop your question back to the top and maybe one of our experts can jump in help you out. Good Luck!

I'd seen this before. The version I saw has them playing a second tune. What I want to know is what kind of tractor it is and where was the video shot? Thanks for posting.

Rob, thanks for posting the pictures and giving us a blow by blow description of what you ran into. You do good work. It is too bad you had to find out what all was wrong with your purchase after you got it home. Looks like the previous owner could tear up a 500 lb anvil with a rubber hammer.

vjd57, Congratulations! I'm jealous. I've got an L35 that is a little smaller than your L45. I haul it with a F250 w/ a 7.3l diesel and a 20' goose-neck trailer. The truck is rated at 13.7k & the trailer is rated at 14k. With the L35 weighing about 8k, the truck/trailer handle it just fine...

I agree with what has been said, especially Bulldog's comment about filling the tires (be sure to fill front & back). I'd much rather use my L35 (4WD & 35 hp) than my Dad's 4030SU (2WD & 48 hp). It is smaller and much more nimble. I can handle some 6' equipment, but stick with mostly 5'...
