    Just a couple of observations......

    I'll bet they do read sites this this from time to time, but maybe not the mechanics. It would be a good idea to formally sponsor a mechanical site and engage in social networking. As to the bent guard issue: Guards are just that, guards. You can remove it permanently, to be replaced by one...

    Kubota moving to Texas!

    Woot! 2 Hours away from the ranch! Now I know where I can take any significant complaint to... with the item under complaint right on the trailer! Or maybe just to visit! That's not to say my dealer can't fix it. So far they've been really on top of things. Zero complaints about Abliene New...

    Where does this bearing go?

    #020 looks like it's the outer sleeve. #030 looks like a bearing that is pressed into the top of the sleeve. Just my read of that.

    Rust Busters...

    It's not about 'rust busting' as far as I can tell. Rust is only a form of oxide (Iron, aluminum, etc.) You can't 'bust' the rust without risking damaging the metal in the process, so all the 'busters' I'm aware of are just lubricants, like the ATF is. None of them have the acids necessary to...

    L2550 What is normal diesel sound?

    Is the knock metallic in nature? Does it have a clack or clank in it? If so, you might have an issue. Otherwise, it's probably just fine.

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    So sorry for your loss NIWolfman... I understand the pain, lost a few myself over the years. Only thing for it, at least to me, is to remember all the good times, love and play for all the years you knew 'em. I'm tearing all up just remembering that with the ones gone now. I hate to hear it...

    If anybody needs me-

    Well that changes things... I'm used to the complaint you have with folks with older XP systems and IE. A year old and using Chrome with it's ad blocker on you shouldn't have the issues you are getting. Even IE 11 can block ads pretty good these days but Win 10 and Edge is much better at it...

    If anybody needs me-

    The older machines with older operating systems and browsers are just a little too far behind in firepower to keep up with all the junk that's out there these days. The good news is you can probably get a new Windows 10 machine for under $300 and move your files you want to keep up to your One...

    Raising my driveway...

    Ouch... I'd have done what you did. Just curious, how much did it run you? (beyond all the additional aches and pains you are probably suffering from now.)

    Raising my driveway...

    I don't know Arizona law but California law makes it a crime to alter a waterway and grading without considering the damage that can be done downstream. Our County here has taken to court, fined and forced changes to owners that don't get proper permits for grading and waterway changes. If the...

    I think I'd need to be repairing my tractor at that tilt. Mine starts to lift a tire at 20.

    Kubota L1501 front rim/wheel

    You might want to move this to the tires/rims section, but you should be able to find a replacement unless it's really strange bolt pattern/size combination. Usually you measure from center to center on two adjacent bolt holes, this and the number of holes gives you the spacing. You'll also...

    B2400 starts runs for 3-5 seconds and dies

    Well, thar would be lotsa ways... Beans and ol' Uncle Phil sittin' up there on the tank. Might get either an HP boost or needin' to clean the fuel system all over again! ;) Take yer wife's nicest dress and giver to the dog's bed. Be ready cozin' when she finds out yer gonna need a long hose...

    Trenching questions

    Zippyslug and Shaun B are correct, you aren't doing any harm and this is common BH practice. If you're doing it correctly, you never leave the BH seat to adjust tractor position at all. One of the mistakes operators make is to totally 'lift' all the wheels off of the ground. This actually...

    B2400 starts runs for 3-5 seconds and dies

    Hey Pete... Welcome aboard. So it started doing this AFTER you changed the fuel filter? Generally speaking, that's usually a sign something got loosened up and is fouling the fuel system or the filter is the wrong sort or is misinstalled. I would probably take and clean the entire fuel...

    B2601 loader crooked

    You could be right there.. It's also possible that you're dealing with a long length, high torque item that has very tenuous connections to a supporting structure, and add onto that it's likely remove-able. So an engineer has a couple of choices to make: Precision machining and mounting of a...

    B2601 loader crooked

    If I'm following the steps correctly, the next would be to get it on a level pad, make sure the tractor is level, and loosen the mounting bolts to let the loader rest level to the tractor and then retorque the bolts. Of course, I'd probably call the dealer and have THEM come out and do this...

    B2601 loader crooked

    Actually, I think you are misreading my post or my intent. Anyone that reads my posts tend to understand that I'm the last person to get all brand loyal. I have a bunch of vehicles, all different brands. I'm not picking on you at all. I was trying to help you understand the nature of the...

    MX5100 Exhaust

    I'd go higher with a rain cap. The distance shouldn't matter at all.

    BX25D HST not stopping

    It seems like there are various issues causing the problem and you need to identify which it is in your case. Most of them seem to be around the HST pedal and it's various adjustments. Mine stops right quick when I push those brake thingys. Stops faster if I drop the bucket, how far I have to...
