The storage life of diesel hadn’t occurred to me until recent. Checking online the most common shelf life is said to be 6-12 months. (pretty wide latitude) Gives me something new to worry about…. I have a 160 gal storage tank that sits out in the sun year round and gets pretty warm here...

The entire film is interesting to watch…but an old Scotsman was offered the ownership of the nearby golf course by Mr. Trump ..IF the old man could ever get that old iron running again….. (about 45 mins into the film):

I have a BETSTCO FH-FM 180 71” Finish Mower for which I want to purchase “better” blades than OEM. From ABOVE they rotate CCW and are slightly “dropped” (about 3/4”) from the center/spindle. They are 24.5” long with a 3/4” center-hole…similar to that pictured below…(but these pictured are...

The real meaning of the holiday is meant to honor all U.S. soldiers who have died serving their country. Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day's history goes back to the Civil War. It was was declared a national holiday by Congress in 1971. As we enjoy the Holiday…Let’s remember the...

I mentioned in another post how I buy inexpensive Garden Sprayers and use them to service fluids. This is particularly helpful when dealing with inconveniently-located service/fill ports. Here’s an example: Today I changed the oil in my Tractor’s engine…and the engine fill-port is...

82 Years Ago this week… It’s a Good Time to Remember what Real Patriots Do in America::

I have a 10K Dump Trailer that has seen very little use. It has the usual corded remote control to raise/lower the bed. That works just fine. It also has a wireless remote that worked perfectly until very recent. It will Raise the bed fine… But when pressing DOWN…the pump-motor rus….but...

My dump trailer has two methods of triggering hydraulically raising/lowering…. there is a corded-remote… which works fine… …and there is a wireless remote…which HAS worked just fine…but today has developed a problem. It Raises the bed fine by either method. But Lowering the bed…the...

Smaller might not be as useful….

I borrowed my neighbor’s small excavator to dig out some mequite-roots which I’d paid to have scraped-off by a local “Land Clearing” guy… Frankly, I was at fault for imagining what the end-result might be… I had imagined a piece of cleared land…. instead, I got a $800 invoice and a a...

My circa ‘96 M4700DT “Front Axle Bracket” and “Bushing”…. are not greaseable…. despite the Owner‘s Manual lubrication instructions and depicted Zerk/Grease-fitting….none exists on my bracket. Research tells me I have an “early” bracket…which was superseded later with the greaseable type...

While cruising the property this last week I came across this scene…. It was a miserable way to die for her…. I’m very saddened by it. When I can afford it…. I plan to remove all the wire fences on this property and replace with slatted or wood or …anything but wire.

Every once in a while I accomplish work around the place that was only possible and/or enjoyable because of this Orange Tractor. It can even be a Small Job… but one that would have been really Hard Work…except for the utility of this reliable machine. I can go out to the hangar (shed, garage...

I have a pin-on loader (LA-1002) which, although popular in the mid 1990’s… is not often mentioned by attachment/implement mfr’s these days…. as most are nowadays made for SSQA stuff. I didn’t like the cost and weight of converting my loader to SSQA …and then having to face the cost and wt of...

I’ve been talking to three different Kubota dealers about buying new parts/kits…. and when talking to the “parts” man and finding the prices exorbitant (no surprise there)… I asked the question, “What if we order it “whole goods”..?? and the parts-guy tells me he’ll have to transfer me to a...

We had a Forum Participant here a few months ago who had bought some telescoping lift arms off a Kubota (unknown model) which I dithered over before deciding I’d like to have a set for my M4700. By the time I got off my butt and took measurements he’d sold them already. If anyone has any...

I have a Kubota LA-1002 pin-on loader…which uses 1-3/16” pins. and I use it with pin-on attachments…. by using a specially mfr’d adaptor which allows me to pick up pin-on attachments very easily. (I’ve posted about this in other threads, I’ll try to post again the link after I edit this post.)...

I noticed a Crack in the rim of the steering wheel on my M4700. It’s a crack which is a clean and complete crack all the way thru at the mid-point between two spokes. I don’t know how these things are made…but the break is so clean, straight and complete…about 1/16” wide… exposing the metal...
