I'm not sure of the interface of the pedals/hand controls on your mini-ex. Most are at floor level. I could see a pebble getting in from a shoe and blocking movement. Murphy's law. I was mowing some years ago, some sticks in the yard. I was thinking....';what if a stick gets kicked up and jams...

Good to hear it was a nothingburger. I'll bet there was a pebble in the control valves linkage that got jostled out. Good you got practice transporting it! :)

Done it once with the Kubota. Fortunately, it was just mangled metal cover over the header and I had a guy coming in a week to do other trim work so.... And I did it once with the wife's car (garage door was not fully opened.) That was a $1,500 insurance claim!!! New shop has a 10' high door...

Brightspeed..... I went through this myself. Noisy line. Three years of calling, getting a worthless tech out. They had no real interest in fixing because 'Fiber is Coming'. Right, out to rural nowhere. I held my breath and passed out. I ended up contacting the FCC. Suddenly I got Brightspeeds...

My old Sears oiless has just a lame foam disk air filter. Replaced it once because it crumbled when I took it out to clean. Same one is in it for the last 20 (???) years. I figure the compressor is run for a few hours a week, maybe 150 hours a year. I drain the tank every use, a table spoon of...

Oil, every year, filter, every 100~150 hours (Two or three years). First change is very important. Even if well less than the manual 50 hours, oil and filter. Too many changes is 100X better than not enough.

Check the control valves to see if debris is in the linkage that inhibits movement. If it backs up fine, its not the tracks

No sledge!!! Soft rubber mallet. I could hit my leg with the mallet and not get hurt/bruised. I can 'almost' get the pin in by hand but it does not slip in like it did years ago. I suspect it is tweaked. Since it is not just loosen the bolts and let it find itself, I'll have to figure out what...

I understand.I suspect it is slightly bent from aggressive use of the BH tossing the tractor about. I'm a dolt for,m time to time., well all the time. Fortunately, its not bad, just a bit more than can be done by my old bare hands. At least I don't have to use a 8 pound helper. When I take it...

Yup, beaten to death but... a little different. BX25D BH taken off in cooler weather, set on a Dolly. Had the locks in, the stabilizers cinched with a ratchet tie down. Was sure to bled off the pressure. Went to re-install. Hydraulics not connecting.OK, I read the drill about tapping the center...

Sure there is no debris in the fuel tank obstructing the flow of fuel?

As soon as I begin to pucker. I stop and back up. My dad was somewhat ignorant of pucker. He rolled over on the side of and into the pond. Two tow trucks and hefty bill later, he went up and down, not across.

My Kubota dealers are about 25 miles from me. But.... the parts guy lives about a mile from me. So I call, order and tell him to let me know when he gets off the highway, I meet him (I arrive a minute before he gets there) at the post office that he passes. I did buy a whole goods tire/rim from...

Yup, reels are the shizzle. I have them for air and AC extension cords.

I still use air. Need it for blowing things dry, clearing passages. Its there. I only use the rattle gun on wheels and mower blades, crankshaft bolts. So not real often. Not often enough to replace it with electric. I do have a tiny, impact screwdriver (maybe 5 ft/lbs) that I use when...

I'd also degrease the area completely, run a little and sprinkle baby powder., then lightly blow it off. It will show you where it is leaking from. As it is, over time, oil sort of spread up, left, right and down. Fresh leaking runs down at first.

When I bought my little BX25D, I looked around. Found a pristine used one, .... for $4K!!! 1/4 the price of new, not 30 miles from me. Contacted the seller. Now suddenly the machine was in Iowa. Ok... scammer obviously. Price alone raised suspicions. I said, what a coincidence, I will be...

Trashed trailer from rock.... Its' why few truckers will haul rip-rap. A few I know lay horse mats down and bribe the loader to be gentle.

This guy claims to have it https://store.germanbliss.com/kubota-r2401-53413 So does Coleman. So I'd assume Messicks as well.
