    Engine locked up

    Removing the Glo Plugs followed by manual spinning is supposed to be the easiest method.

    Which types of grease?

    The above is Ask Tractor Mike talking with an industrial grease equipment manufacturer, and he echoes the same thing as the Messicks video I posted - Polyurea is good for everything with compact tractors with no big switching over issues/procedures. The guy is the President of AET Systems Inc...

    Which types of grease?

    Mixing Polyurea grease with standard grease will cause the residual standard grease to dry out more rapidly than normal; and therefore, you should regrease with the Polyurea more often than normal after making the switch. It is not as though mixing the greases causes the formation of some...

    Messicks on grease - Polyurea Grease works for everything. I use Lucas Heavy Duty for everything.

    What's up with some new members?

    Well, although what has been said is true, there are an unfortunate number of older and long term members that are argumentative and unpleasant for no reason. I have been here for 3+ years, and it seems that these members display their baseless anger towards other members every few months. I...

    Faded paint on m100gx hood

    No experience with plastic tractor hoods, but the following is what a pro automotive detailer and I would use to revive plastic. First, try to remove the oxidized layer with an automotive paint compound using a random orbital polisher. If that does not work, use fine sandpaper with an orbital...

    Discontinued Kubota Injector Lines

    FWIW, the Google links that I found refer to friction within the length of tubing (longer tubing yielding marginally higher friction, thus tubes of differing lengths result in varying friction). I would think that a marginal difference in inertia based on the amount of fluid in the tube might...

    Radiator screen problem solved.

    Wow, I never knew how easy I had it. On my LX, I only have to open the hood to pull the radiator screen. When I was mowing down tractor high plus weeds in two small fields that I reclaimed, I was stopping about every 20 minutes to pull the screen and blow off all of the seed heads from the...

    Hooking up the drive line. Contortionist!

    The first time I connected my rotary cutter's PTO shaft to my Kubota through the QH10 Quick Hitch, it took about 15 minutes. The second time required 3 minutes, and from then on it takes less than a minute. The key for me was to learn where to stand; I stand on the right side of the cutter...

    German engineering

    No, I just did not articulate specifically, and I guess that I did not because this is poor way of protecting threads. First, use a torque spec to avoid any problem Second, use a threaded insert of tougher material in the pan or a plug made of weaker material than the pan Using a...

    German engineering

    I prefer Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura and Subaru, because I do not have to wonder about some engineering design after a failure of something that should not fail. My son has my old Honda: 14+ years with no repairs. :LOL: :LOL: I presume the undercut allowed the head to separate to reveal the...

    6 foot Rear Finish Mower for B2650?

    FWIW, I mow with an LP 5 foot finish mower on my LX 2610 SU, and I am very pleased with the mower. I cut our small field (~2 acres) every month (we are at our land in north GA every month) - except during winter. I cut with the loader on, and part of the field is a hill. The tractor does not...

    Forestry Mulcher

    The safest choice is to buy the complete insurance with the rental. No matter what happens, it is not your problem. When I rented a $30K Vermeer tracked trencher; the complete insurance was ~$12 for the day. I of course was careful with the equipment, but it was nice not having to worry about...
