My L4240 has cloth. As with the two previous Kubotae it needed raised on the front. For whatever reason they design the seats so it feels like it's trying to dump me out forward. It is comfortable and almost refuses to get marked up.

Several years ago we had our most disruptive snow in October. It took some big tree limbs (and power lines) down just up the road. These particular lines only fed about 6 houses. There was more widespread damage that the power company concentrated on, so our power was out from Saturday till...

REAL potato chips are potatoes, lard and salt here in Lancaster county where "if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much" :) I do enjoy the occasional bag of BBQ, Dill, Jalapeno, etc.

Without seeing the filler, can't say much except maybe a 90° fitting would help? No need to remove two filters together and challenge the vacuum's capability. Just replace one at a time. I've used the vacuum method and would bet I lost less fluid with that method.

Linear actuators are the ticket for remotely controlling some things. I used them on a snow blower chute and on my QA loader levers. Both were ordered to the strength and almost exact length needed. Fine tuning the length was done via the attachment bracket fab. I am the "neighbor kid" that...

In many cases that's true, but not for everyone. Much of my snow removal is parking lots. After trying rear blades, loader buckets, rear blower and an 8' front blade on a QA (each for several snows / multiple seasons) I'm settled on the 8' Fisher on the QA. On driveways the blower was great...

Stunning scenery!

I haven't found it today but about a week ago I saw a YouTube guy had a DIY crane boom on a trailer that was connected to a receiver hitch on the front of a jeep (i think). He picked a beam and drove it a short distance to set it.

My smaller winch has been plugged into the receiver on the 4240 a few times. It isn't anything special. HF with wireless remote. Here are a few pix when there were three 700#-ish A/C compressors that needed to go from the below grade boiler room to a trailer at church.

The lifting ability with a pole 6' in front of the loader would be very limited. If you had something like the one that torch made, and had it vertical and sitting on the floor before picking the load, it could lift a tremendous amount. Or, you could rent something like I used when I built my...

Never heard of these before, but used a DIY plate on the diesel tank of my generator recently. See below. I read the instructions on the Boyd site and they say to use a .201 MIN bit. Can't see that it's super critical for holes that #10 screws are to pass through.

Hood crease as already noted plus it looks like the front wheels are toe out a bit. Again, could be camera.

I stopped at Walmart today and had to pee so bad I ignored the sign

Here are both ends of the spectrum for me. They have a number of siblings in between. Out of all of them the little guy is so handy that I keep one in the garage and one in the truck.

My go-to tools when there's a fight to be won. Either the Channellock 215 Filter Pliers that was on sale somewhere years ago or the Channellock BigAzz. George wanted to pose with them for size reference.

There are lots of threads on lighting. My preference is LED floods because you want to light wide nearby areas. Spots aren't useful on something that only travels 17MPH. Individual lights / pods can be aimed independently and that's an advantage over bars. I think some people go with light...

While any purchase should be researched, the box blade (for me) wasn't very involved. Didn't need something to pass along to the grandkids or something that weighed 1,200#. The intended use was transforming 1-1/2 acres of corduroy textured cornfield into more grass to mow around 2013. Found a...

Since discovering how slippery printed cardboard is, the TV boxes, etc get saved and the creeper stays tucked away. The cardboard works anywhere.

Tbe one that took me a while was the Tonya pic because I didn't recognize her at first. IIRC, she subcontracted the work.

Fill mine before parking it when work is done. It gets turned off but only because it's more peaceful. Diesel doesn't concern me but i always squint when gassing up the (hot but turned off) pressure washer.
