    Kubota's for Work or Play?

    Strawberries.... oh yes.... all you have to do is add peptic to break down the fruit to release the sugars... ferment, filter, and cook off.... Last spring the berry "juice" came off at 149 proof. Once you got past the initial alcohol burn in the sip... the strawberry finish was as smooth as...

    One more shot at a possible resolution fix...

    Vic... it worked fine for 3 years until my grandson was playing with the blade. I almost fainted when I found out... my son, his dad almost got a but kick'n over that. From what I gather he was moving the lever up and down really fast (raise/lower blade)... that's when it went on the fritz...

This is a steel line that has a FEL connection block in line. The leak was at that block... a less than pin hole...
