I did four new mods to my 5740 this past week. I'll start off with the easiest one. I’ll post two this evening and the other two tomorrow evening. When I had my 08 4240 Cabed Grand L there was a door post switch on each door. Last year when I got the 2011 5740 Grand L there was only one door...

Last week a machinist friend of mine asked me to do some welding for him. the parts are off a ship that came into port. I was told that these parts are in a very hard area to get to and they don't want any leaks and they MUST be welded right the first time. There's about 1000 P.S.I. on them so I...

Not often I get to use it in the summer months because It's used only for snow clearing. Wifey said the front fence had to go and she ordered 67 Hedge plants to go in it's place. Problem #1. No back hoe attachment but I decided to dig it with the front bucket. Actually worked out pretty good...

Hi guys. Kubota Canada got a contest on the go up here in Canada via facebook and who ever gets the most votes In for their photo will win a trip to the Super Bowl so if you could take a few seconds and cast a vote for me it would be greatly appreciated :) I could use a little trip after this...

And here's the proof :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYBuFrsZC6U&feature=results_video&lr=1&ob=0

Yesterday the Grammer air Ride seat I ordered from Montreal showed up. I decided to take the day and do the 50 hour service on the tractor even though It’s only up to 42 hours I figured it’s close enough. After I got the service work done I decided to tackle the seat. I knew there was going to...

So we did a little video for ya :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upi65VjZgLM&list=UUfLqRBaI3DGI6ocVUaN8r7Q&index=1&feature=plcp

Well I've learned a valuable lesson. Yep. If your going to buy a gauge of any kind find a reputable US or Canadian company that manufactures them. The Chinese just can't make them to last. I bought a digital one from an American vendor that lost one of the sectors on the display about four...

Seeing tomorrow is going to be a very nasty day here with high winds and heavy rain I don't think there will be to much going on in the shop so I decided to fabricate a heat shield for one of the AC lines on the new tractor. As some of you will remember I custom built a vertical exhaust for...

I get a lot of guys asking to see a video or photo's of our shop so I decided to take a few this morning and post them. It's not a large shop but it's busy and designed in such a way that everything I need is close by. I apologize if it looks a little untidy, I usually clean shop when it do slow...

Working away at a project for the feds on one of there FRC's. One of the officers says to me, "What are you going to use for pins"? I tell him I'll make them out of some 1/8th stainless welding rods so he stays around and watches me make them. He really enjoyed watching it so I thought...

Ya I know they come with two cup holders but did you ever try and use one? Not deep enough and you need to be doubled jointed to reach them. Yesterday I needed some "ME" time so I went out to the shop, turned on the tunes and gathered up some scrap aluminum I had kicking around and after some...

I figured I'd post a few photo's of the Kubota fork attachment I put on the tractor yesterday because when I went to purchase these I couldn't find a photo of them anywhere so in posting these I hope it helps others when looking for a Kubota fork attachment or a photo of it. The forks are 42...

Well I removed the custom storage box/quad flashing LED lights off the 4240 just before I traded it and intended on installing it on the 5740 but wouldn't[‘t you know it. The box won’t fit the new tractor so rather than chop it up to make it work I went a different route and started a new...

I thought I'd show you the steps it takes to do a simple hub for a lime spreader. It's nice for those who aren't used to getting something made to see the tooling and time that goes into fabricating a part. Enjoy! :D

Here’s a little job I did last winter for a customer of mine. I purchased a old Kubota BX1800 that was used at a airport to pull luggage out to the aircraft. Got it back to the shop and ordered up an Olympia ice re-surfacer and modified the tractor to take the unit.Had to shorted the rear 3 pt...

OK I'll admit. I'm a picky person but I didn't like that open hole in the rear wheel weights so today instead of out riding or driving I spent the day in the shop building hub caps. OH come on, don't laugh :laughing:

Cause: Well I had the soot issue with the Grand L 4240 and now the Grand L 5740. The problem is or should I say was the design of the exhaust pipe on these tractors. The problem wouldn’t exist If we didn’t have an FEL on the machine but some of us do and like mine I was getting soot all over...

When can a grown man feel like a kid again? When his new tractor arrives. This will be the third Kubota in as many years from Newfoundland Kubota so It speaks volumes about the product and the dealer. Thanks to Todd and Darcy for another great purchase. Pictured is Todd who is one of the best...

Well it is :D Some of you might know I traded my 4240 with 200 hours on it for a new 2011 Kubota Grand L 5740 C3HST. Well actually my 4240 never ever ended back to the dealership because my buddy bought it and when the 5740 shows up here I'll remove my custom stereo that I installed last winter...
