houser52, are you able to weld at all? If not, and if you aren't inclined to learn, you could get somebody to weld one up for you, and I sincerely believe you could get it done for less than the price of a retail attachment.

Oh, shame on you skeets, embarrassing the 85th Hokey by makin' him fess up that his lil' lawnmower caint git wet! :D:D:D Hey, pappy Hokum, it can moan and groan all it wants as long as it don't roll over on ya! (O-rings are the only reasonably-priced items on these Kubs, so don't baby them!)

Wow! Firstly Anders, you're my DIY hero! Secondly, I'm a tiny bit green with all your tools. I suppose I could shed that envy by learning how to build a DIY MIG and a DIY plasma cutter. :( ... I'll be green for a long time! :D:D:D

Ben, what's the reason for the screw in the 'permanent' pin?

I think that's my cue to only go places I can take my tractor. While I would make an exception for you, you don't fly through Hartsfield, so I'll just drive, and try to watch for falling debris. :eek:

Boy, does that bring back memories: 8 or 9 years old, watching mom and dad square dancing. "Swing the hoe with a dosiedo; allemende left with a grand left turn..." :p

Actually, the Buford high school is noted for its athletics -- perennial state champions in football, and often in baseball, basketball, lacrosse <gasp!>, wrestling, and even in women's b-ball and softball. Nobody ever heard of Sugar Hill (which I like) and the questions that come up... Trust...

So, skeets, what welder were you using to replace that wheel bearing?

The proper way, in general, is to locate tractor (+ implement(s)) with weight about 10% forward of the axle (or 12% of the leading axle), tied/chained outside the width and forward of the wheels. (e.g., to the side of the trailer, and toward the front.) Then start the tractor and move it toward...

So must we now address him as "Professor Hokie", or will "The Hokey Prof" do? :D In any case, it was an very good explanation, with good examples, and a shameless shill to buy generators -- inquiring minds want to know how much Honda stock the professor owns! :D:D:D

Good point! With the mass of the mower, should you have to add a blade a year or so from now, the difference in weight of the new cutter, relative to the one that was replaced, would be minuscule. Of course, I know squat about them, having only discovered them in this forum with comments from...

So by inference, we are to understand that any time you are on the tractor, it is running, right? :D:D:D:D

I'm sad for the "pop" and down time, and delighted to hear about your LWS. Wish I were closer, or had such a LWS near me. (I'm sure they are here, just haven't found them yet, but I always prefer to walk into a place and say, "I'm here cuz my friend raved about you.") Thanks for sharing!

So you really need a 7' (or half a foot wider), but how would you trailer it? Lift it above the rails, or modify your trailer. For business use, I can't see how you could get by with having to switch the tiller every row or every two rows unless it is ridiculously easy. (Could you lift the...

Hmm... I think I need to get you to "swing by" and trim the hedges around my front porch. :D How many controls does the trimmer use, and where did you place them? Did you plumb it yourself and if so, use any four-way spools or double spools? From your vid, it is clear that you have...

That connector price is a bit painful. The gauge is affordable, and is threaded the same as the connector. I suggest putting the connector directly on the gauge for the purpose of learning about those lines. Then plumb the gauge into your loader control block for a permanent installation.

That's really great news! You've been here long enough to have learned what skeetz and Tomcat and even coachgeo say: "Without pics, it didn't happen!"

Perhaps the seller meant that they only fit Universal tractors? Probably going into production real soon now. :p

Sounds right to me (similar to my B6100D) -- are you planning to provide for power beyond? I can't make any recommendations (yet), I'm still looking for options. From what I recall, the controls that can be configured for open/closed center as well as power beyond aren't necessarily more...

Great! Best wishes for a long and happy life for it, and many joyful hours of mowing. I've got to have your feedback on attaching the driven shaft!
