Finally got the stud out of the LH wheel hub. Took a 30" Ridgid Stillson pipe wrench to get it out. Ned to replace it. When I pulled the wheels, the lug nut came off with the stud threads in it.

Got my shiny new AI2 quick attach and pallet forks today. Can’t wait to put them to work this weekend.

Got my Rural King seat on the suspension base this evening. Nice seat, worth every penny.

I know I don't know how to do that on this site. :mad:
I do mine on the Imac before I put them on the forum- I size mine to 800 x 800 pixels, with a small pic that expands when you click on it. I have several programs I can use, but prefer one called Preview. If you use a non Mac, hopefully someone else will chime in with how they do it.

You create a smaller size picture before you upload it. I use a Mac now, but I believe on a Windows computer you open the picture and there's a way in the menu bar above to resize the picture, then save it with a different name, like add an a after the file name so you keep the original full size picture. I save mine as 6" for the largest dimension and 300 dpi leaving a file size under 1 mb and it works fine.

Ditto. I got two of the $20 plain seats, one for the L245 and one for the backhoe, but I got the Black Talon seat for the L245DT. I also got the brackets to be able to flip them up. Didn't get a chance to install them yet, but I need to order the seat springs for both tractors too to get the suspension working again. Both tractors are completely missing the springs - its not as if they are broken - they just aren't there. I didn't even realize I should have them until I started taking off seats last night and figured "Hey, this seat should bounce".

More pics, including new parking spot for my roller.
Looks like you may have got a one way container. That's one that came over and didn't get shipped back.
My neighbor just bought one, a 20' that looked like it had just rolled off the assembly line.
One feature it has that I've never seen before is it has doors on both ends.

Last night I installed the RK seats. Decided the Black Talon seat sits up way too high for me, so it went on the L245 which will get sold to finance another project. The simple pan seats went on my L245DT and my backhoe.

Yup, it's a one trip, and pretty new design, weighs 4820lbs empty vs 4200 for the older ones, has eight vents instead of two, tie down points at the top & bottom of the side walls, tie down points in the corners, places for 5 locks, and zerks on the door hinges. Nice box, should make great home for the B7100, implements, spares, and consumables.

Painted the second fender ti install t on Sunday and put the wheels back on the back. Had to replace one stud that was cross threaded. Borrowed the metric tap from the dear and chased out the threads in the hub.

Again, the Rustoleum Kubota Orange is a perfect match. Used 5 cans so far.

They make a great home for the tractor, I've been using mine as a garage for my tractor since last fall and it worked out great. When I first got mine I did the top with truck box liner the painted over that after it dried with fisherman white paint in order to keep the heat down. Also installed 4 floor registers, 2 at each top corner to keep some air flow. Been actually thinking about replacing the swing out doors with a roll up door but with a for sale sign going on the place next week not much since going through the work. Both you and your tractor will be happy with it's new home, congrats.

Used the grapple forks to dig out 2 more big rocks and a stump in my "yard" so mowing will require less maneuvering around those lumps.
I then grabbed a bucket load of dirt from my pile and filled the holes although one is large enough to plant a tree in.
Our peach tree is on its way out; maybe time for a replacement.

Since the rain has stopped, I've filled a 30 Yard dumpster with debris from the project property we bought. Also moved about 5 or 6 Tons of scrap steel getting ready to load out to a scrap dumpster.
Gotha love Hoarders!

bolted on the left fender on the OS9 and installed the new 135 buck floor mat. I need to remount the wheels yet, 2 man job in as much as each weigh about 1000 pounds and no, they aren't loaded either. Big tractor, big wheels.

Sorry no pics but I mowed my pasture and along the road and when finishing up, I pissed off yellow jackets. Got stung on the face left of my eye and on the wrist in the frenzy to irritate them further with flailing arms. Knocked my Maui Jim sunglasses and Bose noise cancelling headset off my head. The glasses landed on the foot-well but the headset made it to the ground and did not survive the destructive whirling blade test in my haste to exit the area. I think I will do a scouting mission before attaching the rotary cutter and attacking the jungle regrowth beneath the forest canopy. It's hot here but still thinking long pants and sleeves and even a mosquito net and hat. My eye is still puffy. The net will prevent me from sipping malted beverages so I will put spray jet wasp killer in the cup holder and dispense chemical death as needed.

We got close to five inches of rain in three hours on Friday. My lake rose about three feet, leaving debris on the front lawn (water has not subsided yet, not till med next week I imagine). My gravel driveway got washed out with new 'channels a few feet wide and half a foot deep, with all the gravel at the bottom of the hill. My little BX spent about an hour dragging it back up the hill and regrading it. Now there is a 'brown patch' of dirty white gravel that a gentle rain will clean off. BT (Before Tractor) it would of taken me half a day of back breaking work. Thanks Kubota! :)

Did some more trenching. Ran some wire for driveway lights and wire and water line for an outdoor entertainment area we want to put in, like a bbq pavilion.
