Thank You! And the same to you. I echo your sentiments about this site!

LRP, excellent JOB! Thanks for sharing and providing the pictures.

Hey waitn, NICE Kubota. Congrats! and welcome to OTT. Please post pictures of your Kubota in action. We love see what others are up to and all of us look for new ideas on how to use our beloved Orange Beauties!

Dan, it will be a while. The tractor is in Arkansas & I'm in Ft. Worth. All I did was make a short 2"X2" angle that closed the gap across the opening that allows the round bar to slide into place. Because I used 1/2" thick steel to make the ears, I drilled and tapped a 1/2" threaded hole for...

IC, I made some similar hooks for two forks on my Dad's M4030 and it worked real well except for one thing. This where a bit advice comes in. Dad was using the forks to lift some logs and wasn't paying attention and lifted the bucket too high with the bucket rolled back. The forks came off...

belah, That is correct. I checked my Dad's '93 M4030 SU (this past weekend) that he bought new and 540 pto rpm shows to happen at 2200 engine rpm. Good Luck!

Paul, Thanks for sharing your pictures and process in making the guard - Great Job! I was also curious about the tapping machine. Thanks for explaining. Merry Christmas to you and all the OTT crowd!

Vic, thanks for the tire repairing tip. That's great! I'll have to remember that one because things like "holes in tires" only seem to happen on weekends when all the repair places are closed!

MJ, I have a 36 x 40 metal shop building with a bathroom in one corner. It is insulated with the metal building roll/batt insulation. I planned to heat it when it gets cold enough to freeze inside with a portable kerosene heater. Good idea in that the heater was free and does keep it from...

Joe, I'm not familar with your tractor or the 3 pt backhoe. I have heard horror stories about folks actually breaking or cracking the bell housing or other structural member using a 3 pt BH. Hopefully someone with experience using one will jump in and give you better advice.

Great job Dusty. It is amazing to me seeing you guys up North of us already fighting snow and cold weather and it made it into the 70's here today. You ought to hear people around here complain when temps dip into the 30's or even 20's with a 20 mph wind. My hat is off to you folks. All I can...

GWD, I bought a couple of fork-lift forks along with the carrier from the Clark Dealer where I once lived. This was about 7 or 8 years ago. I had a Kubota quick attach device on the FEL. The carrier was 30" wide and I lenghtened it to 60" and fixed it to hook on the quick attachment. I don't...

I agree with Vic. I try to never lend or borrow anything. I do have a co-worker that is a better mechanic/bodyman than I. He & I car-pool together. We loan/borrow our tools and help each other out. Because I have a lot more tractor time than he does, I usually run my tractor to accomplish...

Dusty, I've admired your blade and ingenuity on several posts. I wondered how you put the curve in the blade? It looks to be about 1/4" thick and putting a bend in it using "shadetree" tools wouldn't be easy. Care to share your method? Thanks!

Re: L2201 Oil Change MrChuck, I'm not familiar with the 245 or 2201, but this reply will pitch it to the top of the heap and maybe someone who is familiar will respond! Good Luck!

Congratulations! I love it! OTT comes through again!

Dusty, you can start any post you want. None of us want to pay for an overhaul of anything, so if you can relate an experience or give a word of caution, most of us are going to pay attention. And if it turns out to be nothing more than a valve that is in the wrong position, then someone of us...

I shift 1 gear at a time w/o use of the clutch. I select which ever gear I need when I depress the clutch. I'm sorry to hear you used a different oil. There are a couple of threads here on OTT that centered on discussions of brands of UDT oil. I found from those discussions that Kubota Super...

Andrew, my 98 - L35 has the GST. It does make some noise when shifting up w/o the clutch, especially from 4th to 5th. It was a lot quieter when I first bought it. The mistake I made was to change the trans/hyd oil w/ Wal Mart oil after I dumped several gallons overboard from a broken hose on...

Mingy, I loved your comment about Super UDT fluild being distilled from angel tears - so true!
