    Sorry Media

    I saw the NYC policemen getting doused with buckets of water this week and it made me sick to see the gleeful perps getting away with it. I would have silent fire trucks waiting the next block down and come in there with hoses blasting to clean the streets of the trash.

    Is it acceptable?

    You should get a Triumph tee shirt and black out the "i" and the "h".

    This year might be a good opportunity to get ethanol out of our gasoline and put it back in the food chain where it belongs. My neighbor showed me his sweet cherry crop today. All split due to too much rain.

    I'm 1 1/2 hours south of NY State line. I dumped 4.75 inches out of my gauge this morning that accumulated since Sunday. It is pouring again right now. Yesterday afternoon my back yard looked like your road. I have lived here since 1975 and never saw run off like that. Anybody in the mold...

    Weather

    Here in North Central PA, the lower part of my land just got dry enough to get in there so at least I got the grass cut before another three days of showers are coming. I was hoping to get some trees cut up for firewood before the hot weather arrives. How about the rest of you? How are you...

    How does my 500hr suction screen look? (Kubota BX)

    If the fluid was never changed and that filter was never cleaned before, I would say it looks pretty good at 500 hours.

    BX23s and dealer - Underwhelming

    I live in "Realville" so I expected I would need some touch up paint when I took delivery of the B2601 last December. I saw the young guy at the dealership working on assembling it on the concrete floor when I went to pay for it. It comes in an open sided crate all knocked down. They installed...

    Diagnostic dye

    No but I can tell you how we track down a leak in the aviation industry. Clean (degrease until squeaky clean) the engine, or whatever part you are suspecting of a leak, then get some spray on deodorant. Start the engine, run it for a while then spray the area that is suspect. A dark line will...

    Looking for installation instructions B2650

    Did you put a jumper wire to connect the red/black and red/white wire terminals in the 6 pin regulator plug? That brings power to pin H in the OPC box. There is no Pin N on my control box which has 10 wires. When any safety switches complete a circuit it sends power to the stop switch relay and...

    Looking for installation instructions B2650

    Order the bracket, fan belt and lower mount bolt for the B2650HSDC cab model. Mount those up. Take the plug off the regulator and jumper the two wires I indicated above. Follow the rest of my directions above and add a voltmeter and ignore the red warning light. Then, you'll be in business.

    gelling diesel tonight

    Mine is in a heated workshop at 60 degrees. The proper amount of treatment has been added for protection down to zero degrees. I don't see taking it out any time soon but my question is, would the fuel gel if the tractor was in use, running at temps lower than that? Or would there not be enough...
