What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[fried1765]

Yes, spring shows up about June . I just hope that summer falls on a weekend this year! LOL.

Just kidding. Mid March the sun is getting high enough that it starts feeling like spring. Some of our biggest snow falls here in Central Wisconsin arrive late March to early April . February can be very cold. This winter however, except for the two weeks in Jan, have been mild.

I know the situation well!
Lived a few miles West of the St. Croix river, for many years.

Want to buy the SVL75?
If your work is primarily work is in front, A 10K lb SVL all day long, Jack b nimble, Jack b quick, compact, easy maneuverability, more stable, break out force etc. Awesome visibility, the attachments are just a couple feet away, there is no hood, grill or tires in your way/view.

M70 used in this video for clean up, some USDA grant work, half acre cleared in less than 4 hours.

The phone is tapped to the door window in certain parts of this video.
pulled up numerous 8 to 10in diameter mesquites around this tank.

If your shredding, plowing, grading, tractor all day long.

M/MX tractors are less unstable pulling trees/brush, grabbing huge brush piles, much easier to flip or getting off balance, especially if there is a tire rut or uneven terrain.

Great job on the video. Looks like you're having way too much fun. Don't know how far you are from me, but I'd love to jump in and help. I love doing things like you're doing and I'd just love to jump into that skidsteer and push up some burn piles.

I snow blowed the drive today. Half way thru it stopped turning the auger.
I assumed the sheer bolt broke. Went in and got a sheer bolt.
Removed the cover found the bolt not broken.
Shaft moved out away from the gear box.
Got it back together and finished the drive.

Don't you just hate when that happens in the middle of the job.

What stops that drive shaft from walking off the splined output shaft on the gearbox? I have an SB1574 and looking at the parts drawing I don't see anything that controls thrust. I'm asking since I'd rather not have this happen to me.

I'll look into it when I'm back from a work-related trip but was wondering if you're aware of any feature that should prevent this from happening. The chain sprocket riding up against the chain would attempt to limit axial movement but that would cause additional wear on the chain and sprocket.

The shaft is held onto the splines of the gear box by two set screws in the inner race of the outer bearing.
when I get home this afternoon I will take of picture of it and send it to you.

I fell another blonded Ash tree yesterday. These are the 2 butt 80" logs.

Thanks very much. Hopefully your set screws were still in the shaft although backed off I suppose.

That's a mouthful!

Cool. Thanks for sharing the picture.

It didn't look like that much from the seat, but when I got off to go in for lunch I was thinking the same thing.

I had my dealer install rear remotes and I installed a hydraulic kit to my rear blade. Also did a hydraulic top link. It was pricey, but WTH. I'm worth it!. This will make cleaning snow and slush so much easier without having to get out and manually positioning the rear blade. If I ever get another tractor, rear hydraulics will be added.

The "tilt" function is where?

Completed 50 hr. service (52) on my BX , it went along fairly easy, besides the well-known engine oil filter tightest. I've worked on factory assembled engines that are shipped to the assembly plants and they've been over torqued also. Finally got it off with an end fitting tool, band types just started to collapse filter. The transmission screen had just couple case assembly flakes. Completed by greasing and some spray lithium grease where needed.

Sewer line repair today for the mini. Pretty nasty pipe separation. The 6" cleanout pipe had evidently been consuming soil, dirt rocks etc for some time. Just look at the rock landscaping wall. That tells the story.

Start

That doesn't look right to me...

man eating serpent spotted:

yuck

anyway, I wound up making a huge hole. We made the repair and they were still trying to open the rest of the line with jetter and rooter when I left. Didn't get any pics at completion.



Home, unloaded the white pine shrub, and refilled the truck with stone for tomorrow's festivities.

 

[dirtydeed]

next one. only 1 pic from another sewer line job in town. Didn't go well. Need to go back with larger machine and trench boxes to make the final repair. Better to get the right machine for the job.

anyway, here's a very hard working guy. Nice to see that there are still some younger guys with common sense and a strong work ethic.

Good stories!

Popped the button off that controls the third function for the chute deflector or grapple jaws when the loader is on. Couldn't get it to go back in place and you can't order a switch for it from Kubota. The upper loader joystick and wiring comes as an assembly. The dealer was able to get it covered it as warranty which was nice since it would of been $1100 Cdn if they didn't.

They didn't want the old one back so I'm going to get a friend to fix it for a spare which would of been my plan if it wasn't covered. The new button sits lower and is rounded so I won't catch the edge.

On another note. I didn't realize how much dirt and gravel was under the rubber mat and insulation. I'll make sure to clean underneath more often.
