    Box or Grading Scraper?

    A land-plane / grading-scraper…is easy to use if all you want to do is smooth-over existing gravel. But if you need to actually Move Dirt … I.E., re-distribute dirt or gravel on an existing road…a Box Blade is better for that job. Angle blades are next to useless in my experience….and I’ve got...

    How do you clean your greasy loader pivots?

    Shawn… what did you do to get that cat to work the tractor for you..?? Do you think that might work on an adopted heeler…?? (The wife has had very little luck getting her to use that mop on the floor.)

    HST filter blowing out

    The POINT of my question is that some cheap filters are of such poor quality that if chosen…. repeatedly…. might also Repeatedly have the Same Failure. If he did not use Genuine Kubota (branded) filters… then he can certainly say so. I personally would have no problem if he chose Wix, NAPA...

    How do you clean your greasy loader pivots?

    Jason…that’s Inspiring! …… Diesel! …… Of Course! ….. Only about $3/gal instead of the $30/gal for WD40…. Oughta work just fine! (and smells like TRACTOR also!) :ROFLMAO: Washing the airplane with WD40 was inspired by my Dad who used to wash the family ‘57 Chrysler Windsor with...

    How do you clean your greasy loader pivots?

    WD40 and a stiff-brush…then water-hose and/or low-pressure-wash. Re-grease to force any water out of pins/joints. (I buy WD40 by the gallon cans and use it also, instead of soap on my bare aluminum airplane when I wash it.… because I hate polishing aluminum. I’ve owned it 25 years and never...

    2002 Ford E350 hood stuck closed - HELP!

    Back in MY youth…(late ‘60’s)…. We were stopped in-traffic down in Dickinson, TX… when we realized the second car in-front of us was the problem…. It had smoke POURING out from under the hood and the owner was just standing-by. My boss’s son, ..Bobby, …popped our work-car’s trunk and grabbed...

    Fair Price for cutting

    It’s gonna take more than ”an hour” to mow 5 acres unless you have a large bat-wing. A typical 72” shredder will take 3+ hrs to mow 5 acs….and that doesn’t include the large, hidden rocks and logs that break your mower….and the resulting conversation that ruins the new relationship. I’d walk...

    First time in 12 years that the ATF has contacted me to request a trace on a firearm.

    McMXI, …chances are someone under-age has been caught with it….(could be stolen as you suggest, but the kid is claiming he didn’t steal it….that it was given or sold to him directly)….. and the last record BATF had of that Serial was YOU…. They wanted to know if you sold or gave it to the...

    Removing front axle assembly on L275

    Unless you are actually LOSING a measurable amount of front axle fluid…I’d leave it alone. (and that wetness might actually only be evidence it’s been greased occasionally.)

    My Big Lawn Mower!

    “This is about as steep as I mow, and it does it fine in 2 wheel drive” …. Even More Reason to leave those front tires alone if you don’t have cause to work them harder. That “dry checking” evidenced in that pic might bother you…but the carcass of those tires are Much stronger than the surface...

    My Big Lawn Mower!

    Shawn,…It’s YOURs …so you get to decide…but from the posted pictures, your front tires look fine to me. And they are already matched to your rears. If you buy new fronts the O.D. might place a strain on your 4WD due to a mis-match with the rears. Just hopin’ to help out with that...

    My Big Lawn Mower!

    Peanut Butter also makes the plastic taste better to the mice. Mineral oil (baby oil) will do the same thing without the flavor. What does your Owner’s Manual recommend for tire pressures, Shawn? That’s a nice looking tractor ya got there! (Might want to look for a FEL while it’s still...

    Installing injection pump d640 kubota

    This thread is a ”Lesson” to be remembered! Just because I have wrenches that fit the bolts on the machine…. and just because I know how to use them…. doesn’t mean I should turn any wrenches until I’ve read the ”Procedure” …on how to accomplish what might otherwise seem like a simple “unbolt...

    BX23S - Fuel cap - lockable with key

    My 1996-vintage M4700 has a PLASTIC fuel filler neck….. mated to a PLASTIC CAP….. It’s HIGH on FRICTION…and a pain in the ARSE to get the threads engaged …even tho’ they are completely UN-damaged. I wish there were a simple METAL CAP to replace that plastic cap.
