Not to be a safety nag, but.... Since the OP's tractor weighs 1500 lbs, they wouid be a lot safer wearing a belt if the tractor flips or rolls. Kicking one's self clear of a wreck works most of the time on motorcycles (I've done it), but a tractor is a rather different beast. Obvious, on flat...

I replaced the weak, pitiful broken headlights on my B5100 with LEDs for a fraction of the cost. They draw less power (important w/ these small dynamos) and make things easier to see... although the loader is often in the way.

I've heard of people reversing the modern multi-v or serpentine "flat" belts and running the smooth side against the pulleys w/ good results.

Kubota has had a program keeping ROPS in stock for old tractors that never had one as a way of limiting their liability in roll-over accidents. I bought one for my B5100 perhaps a decade ago for less than $300.

Is that a water buffalo in the background?

There are of course energy costs associated with such distillation. Since my MIG welder is not particularly powerful, I tend to use my old Lincoln IdealArc and 6010/7018 for any projects with metal thicker than 1/8". A friend is currently repairing his wooden steamboat, which was damaged when...

Remember that if you don't have a DRO on your mill, you need to work taking the backlash into account.

I bought a co-ax indicator on sale, but there are a lot of ways to do this. Blondihacks goes through a bunch of them here: She does a great job on these videos; clear, calm and focused.

I've had it lifting the uphill wheel, especially when there's a load in the bucket. When I get the new shop done and I have a place to do metal working again, I'm going to work on some more weight attached to the loader sub frame, as close to the rear axle as will fit.

I've got mine flipped out as wide as they'll go... but I may have more side hills....

RectorSeal #5 is what I've used for tapered pipe threads since I worked in Ag Engineering at UC Davis back in the early 80s. Works well, works on steam stuff too.

Our yellow 110 TLB has lockouts from the factory. I should have something for our little B5100.

My wife or her sister (many years ago, don't remember which, maybe both :) ) backed into my old motorcycle. +1 for crash bars, no damage save for some paint scratches on the crash bars fixed w/ a rattle can. I quickly learned not to mention it ever again.

You might ask on garagejournal.com if you don't get any bites... that does look like a useful unit, though.

Or consider a TIG welder :)

I use the diff lock on my little B5100 when the traction shifts rapidly from tire to tire - typically in deep snow, or in mud when dragging a log... When one tire is spinning consistently, using that tire's wheel brake actually works better, and I don't have to stop to engage it, unlike the...

We have quite the plague of tent caterpillars this year....
