I have a dedicated fax line for my business as I need to send and receive load tallies, bills of lading and such from some customers that aren't able to email them. The line rings sometimes 10 or 15 times a day, and only one or two will be an incoming fax. After every 50 calls sent or received...

Dave and Bill were out one beautiful afternoon playing a round of golf. They were walking down a fairway that was right next to the road that led to the local cemetery, when a funeral procession came down the road. As it passed, Dave took off his hat and bowed his head until the procession was...

Mowed the yard today for the first time with the new seat. What a huge difference! It's actually comfortable to set on, and I don't slide around on the seat like I did on the original hard plastic covered seat. I also used the FEL to push out a couple of stumps from yew bushes that flanked the...

Welcome to the club. :mad:

Of course! Never fails. :( The day after I bought mine, on goes on sale for 1/4 the price I paid. Although the one I bought is a little different, though not much. It's still worth it though. Maybe I'll buy one to put on my JD430, the seat mount on that is pretty worn out and the seat is...

I found a seat cover similar to this one on Ebay a couple of years ago. It was designed specifically for a tractor model, so had to make sure it fit my seat. I actually fits better than in the pictures. That's a really woodsy looking seat cover, and even has a lot of orange in it! If I had a...

More pictures.

So far the only thing I haven't liked about my BX2230 is the seat. Why Kubota designed/made it the way they did I have no idea. Even with my big 250# butt on it, the seat still slants downhill towards the front, and it isn't comfortable and I don't like it. A couple of weeks ago while I was at...

I had the same problem years ago, the concrete plug was about a foot and a half in diameter and pretty flat on top, so I made a plate 12" square with two pieces of C channel each a foot long stood on end, back to back, spaced so the new mast fit between them and welded them to the base plate. I...

Engineering Terms * A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES ARE BEING TRIED We are still pissing in the wind. * EXTENSIVE REPORT IS BEING PREPARED ON A FRESH APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM We just hired three kids fresh out of college. * CLOSE PROJECT COORDINATION We know who to blame. * MAJOR...

First thing I used my BX2230 FEL for was unloading a big generator out of the back of my pickup. I slid it in as far as it would go, a safety chain on, picked it up and took it into the shop.

Was replacing the driver's seat in one of my Peterbilts, and I was hanging over the seat taking out the bolts that attach the seat belts. The bolts have a thin head and were really tight. The ratchet slipped off and hit me in the mouth, breaking both upper front teeth and put a hole clean...

You can adjust the upper and lower limits of the 3PH travel, at least I did it on my BX2230. There is a rod connected to the right side 3PH arm that has adjustable stops with springs on each one. When I raise or lower the 3PH. I just move the lever the direction I want, and when it gets to the...

I always cringe when I see concrete blocks oriented that way holding something up. Unfortunately that's the way most uninformed people stack them. Maybe they don't stop to consider why they are oriented with the holes up when used in a building.

It's gear driven.

I had a C15 Cat in my 2000 Peterbilt that went 1.5 million before a leaking head gasket made me have it torn down. Ran RotellaT 15-40 in it almost exclusively. I had fresh bearings installed every 400K or so, and the crank still checked standard on both mains and rods. Even at 1.5 million miles...

Just ground it to bare metal near where you are welding. This is only to get a good circuit between the weld and the ground clamp. Electricity always takes the path of least resistance. From the ground clamp to the area being welded on steel is very low resistance. Nothing outside that path is...

They have to go there to get oil to replace what leaks out on the way to the auto parts store. Check to gas and fill the oil!

I doubt you will get anything to last more than an hour or two in the environment present inside the mower deck when it's running. Any dust or dirt sucked up by the blades is going to sandblast anything present. Just look at how the metal on the trailing edge erodes after a couple of seasons of...
