    USPS is messed up!!!

    It's no wonder the US Postal Service is on the edge of Bankruptcy. My wife's Chevy has a bad tire pressure sensor so I ordered one from Rock Auto. It was shipped USPS on 1/20/26. It originated in Maryland, went to Kansas, Pennsylvania, NY, NY, NY, NY, NY, and finally to me today 1/30/26. A...

    Dirty Girl

    Before I installed my new Original Tractor Cab (see post with the same title) I thought I'd remove the floor mat and clean it up a bit. I did not imagine I'd find all this dirt under there. Something others may want to check to avoid rot.

    Moderators and Long Time OTT Members

    MY opinion, based on MY experience over the last three years - YMMV. Browsing through some very old posts to see what I could see and was struck by the number of questions and inquiries that are extremely similar to those still being asked currently and I had a minor epiphany. The Moderators...

    Original Tractor Cab

    Bottom line (to avoid having to read my extremely long ramble) great cab for the price, would buy again without the switch panel. Here's my experience and thoughts in case anyone else is interested in the Original Tractor Cab. Got the Original Tractor Cab: soft sides, hard top, glass...

    The Original “Cab” Tractor - UDLX Comfortractor

    Saw this on “A Ritter Bit Will Do” and had to look it up. Interesting history on YouTube video. The Minneapolis-Moline UDLX was the first production farm tractor with cab. Designed to operate as both a tractor and automobile, the UDLX was equipped with a 40 mile-per-hour road gear. UTOX...

    Foundation Drainage Maintenance Question

    Foundation Drainage Maintenance Question Built a 2-story ranch in 2007. Has 4” drain pipe around the perimeter with capped risers (cleanouts?) to above grade on 3 out of 4 corners. In the west corner 4” solid pipe runs from the footing out 165’ to daylight, so no sump pump is needed...

    This Doesn’t Look Right!

    Did some route maintenance on the mower desk yesterday. Had the deck raised vertically by the bucket so I could clean it and decided to change the gear box oil. While I was waiting for the last bit of oil to drip out I was looking the loader over and noticed this O-ring sliding on the bucket...

    Is this to good to be true?

    My wife is browsing FB and comes across this...2021 BX23S FEL, BH, with 280 hours on it for $9K. How is that possible? I'm tempted to cash in some 401K just to by it. I'd have to see if my MMM would fit. https://caseihagwoodbury.com/listing/2021-kubota-bx23s-4x4-loader-backhoe/

    Fuel Filter Mod for $25

    I know!!! Another boring fuel filter MOD – TWF!!! But I’m posting it anyways. LOL I’m on a tight budget and couldn’t talk myself into pulling the trigger on buying a $40 - $70 fuel filter from a bigger tractor model as others on OTT have done (and quite well I must say). So I thought what the...

    SUDT2 Price Surprise

    As a retired Energy Engineer of over 30 years I have developed a permanent case of “Analysis Paralysis”. So in gathering all the appropriate filters and fluids to maintain the BX I searched high and low (with spreadsheet of course) for the best deals – mostly for the least expensive source for...

    Just in time for spring.

    I pulled the trigger on a 5/16 SSQA plate before the tariffs raise prices so I can mount an old plow blade I had. The blade was from a Craftsman GT6500 and I originally welded a 2” receiver tube to it and bolted a 2” receiver on my bucket. It worked really well but I felt it put a lot of stress...

    John Deere Announces Layoffs

    Some recent headlines caught my eye and I thought I would share. This is cut, pasted & edited trying to keep it short. Some of you probably already know most of this, but I didn’t. John Deere announces hundreds of layoffs across the United States and the decision to move more production to...

    Speed Control Pedal Lubrication

    Lifetime and Well Known members can probably ignore this post, I realize the topic has been posted several times before. However, I thought it prudent to restate the obvious for newbees and knobs like me who read something that should be done but for whatever reason don’t. It could possibly...
