The grease in that rotary cutter gearbox will probably work for a long time. I've got a 5' bushhog squealer rotary cutter that started having problems keeping oil in the gearbox 10 years ago so started greasing it regularly.It's still running fine and I work the crap out of it. cut 5 acres of thick grass this week that was as high as the hood on the tractor.

Well for starters I am new to the tractor world. I am the proud owner of " Beulah" a B7100hst. Got her about a year ago and have been working on her from time to time. Don't know much but I try!!!! This is a boxblade that I have gotten for her.

Fixed the TPH lift arms on my Frontier 1150 tiller. When I got it someone had heated and bent the lift arms, supposedly to allow it to fit on a subcompact green tractor. Makes no sense to me.
Removed the arms and took them to my local welder guy. $60 bucks later and I put some paint on them. THey used a press to straighten them out, welded in gussets and had to weld a couple cracks up. I had a can of JD yellow paint that came with my house so I thought that appropriate. They are still a bit out of square since the main frame got bent some by the PO. Easy to hook up now and should be a lot less crooked. I also had them straighten out one of my lower links that was bent when I got my B7500. Very nice guys, I will be taking a lot more business there, since I can't weld very well.
Last weekend picked up a King Kutter 48" cultivator for $50. It's not very heavy but should be very useful for garden spot next year. Sorry no pics on that.
Still looking for a post hole digger
So many toys, so little time (or money)

THat's a really nice looking BB. Is that a Gannon brand or who made it? Do you have a remote on your tractor so you can use it? Looks hardcore.
More info please.
Thanks I just posted some pics of the finished product!!!!

Drewzee87t, looks like you got your tiller back in operating condition, but I want to see a picture of your John Deere yellow house!!
Very nice job on the restoration. You are gonna love that box. I have the manual style roll-over gannon and it's great. Can you run the remote to your FEL controls, or it came with the remote? Just curious on that.
Thanks
The controls are located on the right finder!!!!

Nice! How's the 2650 do pulling the Land Pride 1860? Just got a 2650 a few weeks ago and I've been looking at cutters... Local dealer recommended the 1860. Just been a little worried the 2650 would struggle with it.

First off, great looking restoration on all the stuff you've posted.
But I'm posting here to recap a more detailed message sent by PM. I recently ran into what I'm afraid may be a problem shared by Buck. I bought a nice heavy Gannon box, though mine had no hydraulics. It was at that time I found out my B2150 was only rated for 1000 lbs on the 3 point, and my fantastic new box weighted right at 1000 lbs. I was forced to sell my box because the tractor, even though sized appropriate for the box, couldn't use the box in any practical way. So to use one of these heavy Gannon boxes on a Kubota B series, you're pretty much going to be running a box that is barely (or not even) as wide as the tires and appears to be better suited to a smaller tractor. The B7100 is rated for only 400 lbs on the 3 point, and I'm guessing that box is closer to 600 minimum. I hope I'm wrong and it will work, or that he has a bigger tractor to use it with.
Well, I guess the post is about as detailed as the PM after all. But the real reason I made the post was a general warning to other to not "assume" things that look right are right. Particularly on the B series (and the reason I doubt I'll ever own another), you should really check the limits and keep them in mind when looking at heavier built industrial/commercial grade implements. They just don't go together.

Today, the dump trailer story continues,
I wire wheeled all of the "box" sheet metal and
welded the few cracks and rust through holes....
Tomorrow I will pick up some Rust-oleum® Rust Reformer
and get at stopping the pitting rust and surface rust.
