Many thanks, Cheib! Although I prolly couldn't smuggle one into the states, I'm an info addict and love to read up on innovative machines, particularly Kubotas. Thanks, b12; I didn't want to detour the conversation into brand or model exclusions, but that is exactly the machine that I believe...

cerlawson, those pages are excellent! Is that manual a Kubota publication, or another publisher? (I have pretty good Kubota manuals for B6100s but they don't compare to some of the other publications, particularly to those that NIW has access to. I'd sure like to upgrade the quality of my little...

erda, sounds like you might be better served with a flail mower. Here's a link to a thread on one member's new Caroni and his testing of it.

Well, I don't know anything about the G21, and can't find it in the products Kubota offers in the U.S. Nor do I have any experience with the GR2120, though I have been researching it with the intention to buy one, despite the 9k U.S. price tag. However, now I've almost talked myself out of the...

Skylab, you were instructed to remove that word from your vocabulary! I'm wondering if the cylinders are the ones specified on the 1200, or perhaps substitutes?

Pardon me for being skeptical! What orange are you looking for, the "old" one? I picked up a can of Ace 'Rust Stop' color: Allis Chalmers Orange Gloss that is a pretty fair match for the new orange, which is what my B6100 was covered in.

DT, what a score! Oh man, I am so happy for you! I suggest that first off, you get a new ground clamp. From coaching of an expert welder, you want a hefty one, like the thumbnail below. Some excellent advice, and aquaforce astonished me with his experience with a two-strikes choice: 110v and...

I can't avoid it any longer; I'm going to have to get a lawn mower. I hate to sound like a whiner, but I've got arthritis in my knees and hands, and sciatica that make chasing a lawn mower difficult and dangerous -- I need to move up to a rider. However, with the rough surface and steep slope...

Oh, is he the guy who was laid off when Louisiana switched to lethal injection? I've worried about how he was going to be able to support his family. Guess he's gotten by the last, what, almost 25 years?

John didn't post the file; he offered it to Sean and Jessie but... The link was to an outfit that does design work and John suggested they would 'print' a few samples. PM coralhead and ask if he still has the file.

Dan, I'm so sad that all your effort worked out well, you got the tiller working, then it blew up! You must be heart-broken! I'm confused -- why do you want RS1000 rebuild parts? You can replace the chain, installing it with a master link this time... or is the reason for the break because the...

What they said. You didn't say, and it does matter: is your welder a MIG or a TIG? I don't have either, but have learned a bit about them. What the Junkie and DT said is right on, and requires a stick welder or a TIG. MIGs make beautiful welds, but don't get penetration. With that crappy metal...

Looks like the asking price is $250 to $450. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/ The next considerations are: a) what its condition is; b) how much you have in it; c) how much use you have for it; d) how seriously do you want to unload it. Good luck, hope it finds a good home!

When I was shopping for a SCUT+FEL, I read a number of posts in several forums and Fastenal's costs were the lowest I saw. I didn't use them because I bought from an equipment dealer who delivered it for a pretty low fee. (I think maybe so he could get a look at the fool he'd just snookered)...

ssolid, do you have a manual? I've had a wonderful experience similar to yours when I ran my B6100 out of fuel, and did not have to do CPR to get it running again. However... I suspect that your setup is similar to mine: gravity feed from the tank to the injector pump, and the injector pump...

Yep, yep, eezackly right! The tip, properly sharpened, will drill, even solid metal. However, it has the least efficient cutting edge. Depending on the hardness and type of the material being drilled (I had to adjust because many materials present the same challenges as metal, if not as severe...

Dave J, you should get it to raise a little slower by idling the engine. If your load is too great to lift at idle, increasing the RPMs bit-by-bit until it builds enough pressure should work for you. When lowering, the valve is either open or closed; weight on the 3PH determines how fast it...

Well, since I'm just takin up space, I wuz gonna suggest 'storin' 'em down here. BUT!!! "It's a MIRACLE!" I had a second thought! My second thought wuz my first thought wuz purdy stoopit. I'd be embarrassed except how can yuh be embarrassed when a miracle happens! :D

Beautiful! Glad you have such a wonderful homestead; happy to know you're making such progress cleaning it up, and getting so much joy and satisfaction doing it.

huh! Never helped me when I was going off the high dive! Did a belly-flop ever time!
