    Has anyone tried the Kubota mulching kit on there mmm?

    Golf greens aren't cut with mid-mounts and 3 point finishing mowers. I suggest you beg,borrow or rent a flail before soaking $800 into trying to make the mmm do something it wasn't designed for.

    Wheel/Tire weird bump or something

    And the Deere is at least 50 years old so like us old men it might limp a bit right after getting out of bed. But give it a workout and it's up for anything you can throw at it. Did I mention I love the 20 series Deere? Best tractor that ever dripped diesel between two tires. ;) There's...

    Wheel/Tire weird bump or something

    The conventional way of checking tires for flat spots or separation is to jack wheel a few inches off the ground, place a fixed object off to one side 1/2" from tread then slowly rotate tire by hand to see if 1/2" gap changes.

    Box Blade issue on L3901

    This would make sense,therfore easier to figure out if it occurred day one. If you haven't changed nor adjusted anything since last time it was used, I don't know what to say. Maybe tractor adjusted itself or prankster came in and tinkered with it.

    I really need to stay off Craigslist ....

    Must be a disease, I do the same thing. There's a local online auction that sells mostly household and furnishings but occasionally a pile of scrap iron, farm equipment or large shop equipment shows up and doesn't get many bids. You guessed it, even though I wasn't looking for one I just...

    Box Blade issue on L3901

    I'm not sure I follow what are saying 100% but here's what I think causes this. First guess is that top link has box tilted more than previously. Second guess is that turnbuckles are adjusted differently than previously. Third guess is that rear wheels have been adjusted inward or outward...

    New Compost Bin

    I bought a tunnel slide from a playground renovation. I had to unbolt and rotate a few pieces to take curves out and make 2 bins. I replaced 1/3 of removed bolts with longer ones with shims for air entryways.

    I contracted to paint a house and the owner asked how many coats of paint I apply. I said 3 and he said great, then I said one on house, one on ground and one on myself .

    DIY press brake

    Doesn't matter how much modern technology one has at their disposal, old school methods can be real handy. Those blue and white reins as example. :giggle:

    Cheap Fix, Hope it lasts (Driveway Cracks)

    I think your efforts will be rewarded by more years before complete re-do is necessary. I'm not one to tell folks what they did wrong after the fact. It chaps my butt when self anointed know-it-alls 🤠 do it to me. I offer something to consider going forward. Soil where I live is clay that...

    Turned it one time too many.

    Judging from marks on post and broken terminal I'd say they received a few beatings in the past. Could of been continuity issues, emotions 🤬 issues or combination of both.

    Root cutter

    Aye-grannies I think you might be on to something. Having done some root trimming a couple times, here's what I found. Once cut the roots will sprout saplings which grow at an alarming rate. Heavy duty string trimmer will clip new growth if done soon enough and repeated often. From a...

    Weak air conditioning

    Your friend is doing by science and theory of refrigeration, not what he saw on utube or heard on some tractor forum. It's called superheat and subcooling when taught in trade school.

    Weak air conditioning

    I will only add one thing, do what you please with the information. ANY SYSTEM with 134a in it (full charged, half charged or overcharged ) will have static pressure 78.6 +/- at 75f ambient.

    Never worked on one before, fuse keeps tripping

    Were all those diagrams labeled as BX23s? This is evidence wiring has been altered from original. Do you own a multimeter and understand how to interpret readings? Let's wait to see if someone can tell you what's wrong based common cause for your model but I suspect you will have to...

    Fuel Storage (small containers)

    Understanding what can happen to diesel, why it happens and what to do about is more important than using most popular additive. While it's true taking measures to prevent water being introduced into diesel is prudent, the separator will catch it before reaching injection pump. Routinely...

    What type and size of rock/other for this wet hillside?

    As long as the hillside remains seepy I think rocks will sink and require more from time to time. I presently live N West of you on Black-Heiden-Wilson soil but grew up on and family still lives on Gasil-Crosstell-Duffau along Red River. There are many areas on GCD like you described. When my...
