Hello members. Brand new to this forum. New Kubota owner. Used 2018 M62 bought this week. Interested in user tips and accessory advice. Thanks, Ralph

Part II
The money was fantastic.
50K to sign up, all expenses paid, (transportation, lodging, food, ammo, weapons, training, medical care, 250K life insurance) 2K per week, 5K per week in combat zone, 2K per terr confirmed kill, (ears & weapons) 4 weeks in the bush, 4 weeks out.
All monies tax free, paid when, where, & how you specified.
Of course, it was a long time ago, and I was a lot younger then, and in shape, (I played semi pro soccer briefly) but I had just gotten married and was starting a new life with the wife.
Had I met him & he asked a year earlier....

I was not in the military.
Kind of odd circumstances/coincidences brought me to that decision. I think it was 1978 to 1970?
A friend owned a gun shop, and they had an attempted robbery when his wife was alone in the store.
The owner (I went to HS with him) asked a few of us to do UC security when she was alone.

While in the shop, I met a friend of his dad who, I found out later, was in the Rhodesian special forces. (the Selous Scouts)
We hit it off right away.
He was in the US recruiting mercs, as they were desperately short of manpower.
We went out shooting a couple times, and I guess I impressed him.
The owner of the shop had organized a large machine gun shoot, and we both attended, where I guess I further impressed him.
He then made the offer that I return with him, to basically hunt terrorists, in a two to four man team with him.
He did not care that I had no military background, said I shot as good or better than most military, and had a good head on my shoulders.

colt any news on the 7060 problem?

Hey armyaviatr. Just signed up with orange tractor talks after seeing your dash overhaul. Wow, beautiful work. I've got a bx2200 with the same old original type. The dash cover blew off while I was trailering my tractor and now I'm just trying to replace it. By some crazy chance you still have your old one and and if so still for sale?
Thanks

Hi all. New here. Acquired a B6000 with FEL and backhoe. Still learning about the little workhorse. Interested in learning about the charging system, and if the attachments are kubota. Also have found steering won't turn when its cold out, probably transmission oil lubes the lower portion of internal steering gear and probably has condensation in it allowing it to freeze or gel some. hopefully I can find others with more experience and info about this little machine.

Changed the filter, drained and added fluid.

I am having trouble with the lift front and rear, it is a ford tractor

jim did you figure out why your m had low hyd pressure?

Hi, haven't work on the issue that I'm having with the crank no start. If you come across something I will gladly appreciate the help, planning to start on Saturday.

Do you sell that wood and are you near Pittsburgh?

I was looking for snow removal solutions several years ago to match with Kubota B21. I'm pretty sure someone told me of a bucket insert with its own power supply and remote controls to the engine and chute. For The life of me I cannot find any information on a unit as I describe. Has anyone ever heard of something like this?

The yoke on tailwheel of my Land Pride 72" cutter broke. I suspected a bad weld of the spindle to the yoke, although after finding the trail of parts and then looking at (a photo when it was new compared to the diagarm in the manual) the bronze spacer bushing had been installed incorrectly by the dealer at the bottom of the spindle instead of the top and may have put too much torque on the spindle at the weld, resulting in failure. It was out of warranty by time (but only 12 hours or so of active mowing at the time), but I sent photos and explanation to the folks at Land Pride, and they sent out a brand new yoke, so Kudos on excellent customer service. Granted, I could have reinforced and rewelded the joint, but that wasn't the point I won't hesitate on getting another LP product in the future.

Check your thread about BH, no direct contact info allowed.

I'm in BR, used Ascension Eq last Nov. for L3560LE. Who are you using, Seal, M&L, Parish Tractor? On the way back from Mobile Sunday I saw a good number of tractors possibly LX3310 at Lee Tractor on I-10 Biloxi area: https://www.leetractor.net/ Also check Evergreen in Covington: https://www.evergreentractor.com/ Not sure but hey give it a shot, maybe your dealer ain't looking real hard.

Captmikem your instructions for resetting the codes on my tractor were described perfect. I cleared the codes and used it for about thirty minutes this afternoon without any warning lights or codes coming up. Not sure why they came on but hopefully everything is ok with it! Thanks for the information.

new M5400 owner

my Kubota M-490 has been giving me trouble in an electrical issue so i recently put a brand new OEM ignition key switch in it yesterday i was unloading items and it was parked emergency brake on also blocked and just sitting at an idle and it died ??? took a little bit but did start back up i have checked cables and the electrical plug in to the dash but it all looks good for some time i would have to tap on the fuel solenoid because it would stick when cold and also would have to hold key longer in the start mode to keep in running any ideas ??? or sugjestions on what to check or look for or test would be much appreciated

I have a b6100 that is making oil. It doesn’t smell like diesel. The oil is black and not milky. I’m thinking hydraulic oil. Any suggestions is appreciated.
