Mower coming off, oil change, and my removable LED’s on. May mount the snowblower after I service it.
Will just leave chains to do.
Just an aside and not Kubota, but Minneapolis Moline. A friend makes these for Steiner Tractor Parts. Redneck Gas gauge.
He has templates for many old, more popular makes and models. He’s sold 1,000’s to Steiner. Guys don’t use them…more for decoration
Saw my Moline parked in the driveway, and asked that I measure the gas tank so he could make some.
Figured Steiner won’t be interested since numbers are small, but I got the first 2. There is a pretty active national MM Club.
One will go to my Dad…..

We fixed a gate to the field. After that we started clearing more brush and working on drainage ditch trying to beat the rain.
I didn't get a good before picture, but if you look to the left in the picture below you can see what we were dealing with. (this picture was from last year hence the soybeans and not the corn)
This is the area after about four hours of two tractors clearing the area. Still have some more work to do, but we got a lot of brush and trees moved to the burn pile.

Took the loader off for the umpthient time. Washed and waxed her for winter. Went to put loader back on and fought it for over an hour 
. Couldn’t get it to drop in the cradle on one side no matter how many times I repositioned. Finally, decided to measure the boom cylinders on both sides - over 2” difference. Then I got to looking around and saw where I caught one side when backing out. Equaled the cylinders and “bingo” went together as before. Another lesson learned

Another lesson learned Started the BX up and let it warm up for 15 minutes at high idle, backed it into the shop and got started. Changed the oil and filter, the air filter was pretty dirty, so I changed it too. Only spilled about a cup of oil on the floor, no oil change is complete without spilled oil and Oil Dri. Checked the front axle oil, trans/hydro fluid, fan belt and coolant reservoir. Fuel filters were new in the spring, so I didn't change them. Checked the air in the tires, pulled the radiator screen, blew it and the radiator out, lots of grass and crap in it. Finally, greased the FEL and MMM.
Ready for some snow pushing this winter or lawn mowing in the spring.

I got a nice white tail yesterday afternoon on my property (opening day of general rifle) and got him back to the house using the bucket. It's cheating for some but there you go. This guy is about as big as I've seen up here with a fair amount of fat on him.
Hooked up the newly acquired ballast box for some measurements for Brian at FitRite. Hosed it off and cracked a beer.
Didn't look like a big deer in the first photo but the third photo makes your tractor look small!!!

Yeah, he's a good size for up here and the 72" bucket helps to show that. I was able to get a photo of him through the scope when he was bedded down.

Talking of big, that ballast box is huge! You did really well to find those two and for such a good price. If you were nearer I'd buy the other one from you.
Are you sourcing the "top-n-tilt" from FitRite?

It fits with the new back blade on….just barely. Left the shop stool and crate there to avoid shin-scrapes…I hope.
Blower isn’t hooked to PTO yet. Chains not on the rears yet either.
Got the towering pile of pellets behind it. That stack is done by mid-January or so.

WOW!! Beautiful 10 (?) point. What, maybe 20-22" spread? Definitely in the rut, big time. Look at the neck...
Betting pretty heavy dressed weight....looks stout.
You didn't field dress him?
Where you're at, what do you have for ungulate games species; obviously whitetail, elk (?), moose (?), blacktail (?), pronghorn(?).

Nice! After seeing that, glad I didn’t post a picture of ours.
Yep, couldn’t pass them up. After some digging, this box is for an M. The smaller is for an L. There wasn’t a MX when they were made.
Yes I am, should be here Januaryish.
