So, did you buy it? Please keep us informed of your progress, and if you need to do any fabrication, pics would be appreciated!

<blush> Anybody care to FAX me a come-along? I'm having trouble getting my little foot outta my big mouth!

Yep, he b d bes'! I've learned an amazing amount from him (hush, skeets!). Best advice I've gotten from him: "pads". (Really jacked up my elec. bill!) :eek: Also picked up a good tip from Tooljunkie: "If you cant weld good,weld lots" :D

Yep, very nice! Like the stands you put on the ramps; also the way you mounted the tongue jack.

Well, I'm mad as hell! I've heard rumors that you've caused a world-wide shortage of Guinness! (Or maybe I started the rumor, I forget... )

So you didn't want to take a chance that Kubota would have the L2501 model in 2115?

m32825, how did you expose the roots? I've got a couple of stumps that will be buried when I finish my landfill but I've been thinking of pulling one of them out, "just for the fun of it". I'm sure that's just the proof that someone will use to commit me to the loony bin, but I expect you can...

ojaikubota, you may already know, but some of the gurus on OTT had to inform me that the axles on the B6/7100s have a series of holes drilled through the axle, and the wheels can be located real close to the frame (to get through the bedroom door, I suppose) or our pretty wide (to keep it from...

Well, it's possible to disconnect the curl cylinder from the bucket and either manually extend the ram or do it under power. If you did it manually it's unlikely you'd do any damage. If you did it under power, then I'd say that since you ask, you don't have the experience to do it safely. If...

Blows the material -- note the shots of the chips swirling inside the tube, and how it spews out into the bin. Cyclone. Wonderful addition to woodworking dust collection!

Great setup, and thanks for the action shots -- dramatically increases the drool factor!

Whoa! Hope you got pics of that, or better yet, a vid! Wish you'd done that 4 months ago, maybe I coulda saved a K or so... <sigh> C'mon, gimme the skinny, and don't skimp on the details!

You think maybe it was misbehaving because the project was going so well? :D Actually, the OTT innards upchuck when a "portrait" pic is posted unless the height is close to the width. If you crop it so it's almost square, it shouldn't rotate on you.

Mudball, I've wanted to do the same thing. I don't use enough fuel to warrant it, but arthritis and sciatica make fueling my little B6100 a pain. My problem is lifting the fuel up to the tank. I gather you plan to lift it up a ladder, 5-gallons at a time. I'd say that perching on the ladder and...

Have you looked at the linkage? Do you have a WSM? Seems that when it indicated it was in gear, it was in neutral. So, changing nothing else, "persuading" it to indicate neutral prolly put it into gear. I expect that your starter isn't strong enough to turn over the engine and roll the tractor...

All very sage advice, and +1 to ehenry's advice to talk to the extension agent! Regarding the choice between loader and excavator: using an excavator would quickly give you a nice ditch. You'd need to do something to prevent erosion; you definitely wouldn't be forming "mowable" banks. So the...

"What we've got here is failure to communicate" The objective is grading the road -- get out of the bushes and back to work!

Whoever hacked that vid did a superb job! Used English words that sounded a bit like the spoken words. Very amusing, but like skeets, it makes me depressed. Fortunately Congress is passing bills to curtail and undo president Osama's egregious abuses of authority, but it's like herding cats.

Thanks guys! I was hoping for a confirmation -- everything indicates it's the headlight wire. The dash wiring is really hosed and the only things that work properly are the ignition switch and the hour meter. I can limp along and I see no point in trying to fix one or two things in the...

Apology not required; my bad. I was measuring (testing for) potential, not current (amperage) -- and I couldn't find any volts in the wire. Shocking, eh? :D
