    A Grill Guard - Tie Rod Question...

    There seem to be a fair number of grill guard threads here. I've not seen a design that extends down far enough to provide a degree of protection to the tie rod. Is there some down side to doing that? (Somehow, I managed to bend the tie rod on my old B7100 while doing some stupid thing in the...

    1/4" Quarter Inching Hydraulic 3-Point Control Valve

    The B7510 in my shed is new to me and before buying it, I had a B7100 (the early variant) for 30 years. That B7100 is definitely the type of 'tool' that has become just an extension of my body. I never looked into 'position control' as Kubota calls their more modern control. I spent a lot of...

    Is there interest in another SSQA fabrication thread? I searched through a ton of them, and didn't see one that showed some details that are needed. I have a new (to me) LA302 on my tractor, and want to convert it to SSQA. There are several goals. First, I like to design/build projects...

    B or BX Pre-Emissions Models

    I'm looking at a few used B and BX tractors, such as B2320, BX2360, etc. I see a 2008 B2320, and the seller says 'pre-emissions'. I'm generally aware that EPA has been making emission standards more stringent over the years. What do you suppose 'pre-emissions' means? All other things...

    Time to Replace my 40-Year Old B7100

    It's served me admirably for 30 years, but I want a few things now. Main thing is ROPS as I spend time on hillsides and want to reduce my risk of injury. I want 4WD, wet brakes, and a slightly wider stance would be best - more ground height is NOT needed (or wanted). I want the center of...
