    Need to find out how to dismantle scraper blade pivot from hitch unit

    The visible vertical pipe encloses a slightly smaller pipe. The smaller pipe is welded to the bottom of the upper adjuster plate (not visible in photos), and can turn inside the outer pipe for angle adjustment. The blade-mounting bracket below has the inner smaller pipe passing through a hole...

    Need to find out how to dismantle scraper blade pivot from hitch unit

    It appears you'll need to cut off the blade mounting bracket at the weld with the rotating pipe. My only experience is with acetylene cutting torches, which I'd try and use to burn away the weld downward with a vertically held torch nozzle. Hopefully the pipe would survive the torching.

    What would you do?

    Get B/B50/LX with a loaderand any 3-point tools you'll need, like a box scraper, and don't bother with a belly mower for it. I use a rotary mower on my B2650 for general field maintenance, and got a basic riding mower for finer tuned yard mowing. For the cost and mount/unmount/ trouble of a MMM...

    Steering center moves continually.

    A crowned road with a little loose or insufficient toe-in adjustment will pull you to one side while driving. The hydrostatic powered steering "gives" a bit under constant turning pressure, so having its center point rotate through 120 degrees over that distance isn't surprising to me. Check for...

    Box Scraper question

    The tractor manual has the "operating" or best RPM to set at for most HP/torque. It's usually near the RPM that rotates the rear PTO at 540 RPM. I run at that or near the rated RPM for work like snowblowing, rotary mowing, wood chipping, backhoe work. Anything that is made to run at the PTO...

    Thoughts or advise

    Almost always the first run with new implement, or the first cut of the season, always finds the hidden tangle monsters. Wear tough gloves as suggested, AND safety goggles too! Springy steel wire can whip loose when cut from a tangle. Work safe.

    Box Scraper question

    So they get lifted out to allow the shanks to move forward and decouple their notches from the frame. Ok, again a different system than my through-bolts, but learned something new.

    Box Scraper question

    Where/How do those clips fit in there? They're not visible in the 2nd photo of the assembly. My BB1560 has through-pins with lock clips. A different animal.

    Removing BH92 Backhoe

    With the boom pointing straight back, dipper and bucket curled, lower the boom until the bucket contacts the ground/floor. Lower both stabilizers until they're about 8" from the floor. Now gently press the boom control lever forward to further press the boom down until you see the backhoe frame...

    Small Farm Innovation PTO Hook Up

    Painting it white means you're not in country that deals with tractors and SNOW. Blaze orange is the best.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    "Manitoba Maples" around our yard and 5 spigots with pails from ebay. Have been making some for nearly 10 years now.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I let my 5 Manitoba maple tap buckets hang through the snowstorm. Dump the snow out tomorrow, and the week forecast looks good for flow. Had a couple of productive days so far, anyway. Fresh box elder syrup on the morning yogurt is the best!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Actually the scene and lighting with the .5 wide angle setting on my phone did impress me at the time! A keeper, for sure.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Getting a 10"+ dump here in SE MB last night and today. We really need the moisture, but I didn't really need the aggravation of removing the loader and hooking up that blower unit and subframe. So today I'll crawl around under the 'bota in the shelter while this storm tapers off and get the...

    leaking hydraulic cylinder

    My B2782B snowblower lift cylinder began leaking and could not hold position under load anymore, so looked into taking it apart so I ordered the Kubota rebuild kit. The part number I believe is stamped into the cylinder somewhere. I could look the info up if needed, both the cyl and rebuild kit...
