I've used the Kubota's loader to transport different materials on a variety of terrains. On anything other than a paved surface the irregularities at higher speeds cause more bouncing than I like. My concern with bouncing is the unnecessary stress on the loader frame and connections. It's...

I can sympathize with a rear tractor tire. Just last night I was getting filled with glycol. It all leaked out.

Big 10-4. My frequent advice has been "Buy your fifth tractor first":) My used L4240 came with an L854 and it feels like a pretty good match for it with just the cab and loaded rear tires. This tractor marks the end of the needing anything bigger pursuit for our 3-1//2 acres. In truth that...

This is an old Wilton bullet vise. It had tolerated a lot but I whaled it a bit too hard removing a bend in a plate. Here's a "before" picture of it holding a 6' rear blade mounted on my welding table. It's been replaced at least temporarily. The corner mount on the table with the swivel...

In which case, the base will end up like the one pictured below. Drilling for anchors where you wanted them carries the same risk as drilling an 1/8" hole in your ROPS:)

I'd use drop-in anchors and not worry. https://www.menards.com/main/p-1642874302976862.htm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic-shopping&utm_content=2327998&utm_campaign=Red+Head

I've had excellent results with Kevlar belts from vbelts4less.com and a local (REAL) hardware store. Have had LandPride and Caroni decks. Both last for many seasons of mowing. The only belts that have worn out were the original belts on the first Caroni deck bought in 1991 and one of the...

Kubota did indeed have the same problem - for a number of years. Search OTT or the internet for "jerky 3 point Kubota. One explanation that was going around back then was that Kubota used cheap valves on the non-deluxe models and if you wanted the 3PH to operate smoothly - buy the more more...

Only had a few minutes of seat time but the weather was nice enough to get the Kubota up to the house and replace the headlight bulbs. The left side wasn't working. Assuming it burned out i decided to just get two LED's and replace both. Some disassembly made it easy and thankfully nothing had...

I plan to use a blade and maybe something else offset to one side. I'm not worried about doing it via the arms. As long as they don't contact the insides of the tires why worry?

What did I do to or on my Kubota? Same as yesterday. Nuthin' All that snow went to the East of us.

Right in my back yard and I didn't know it!

Drainage must be a whole different thing in Florida. Here in PA it's pretty much all open pipes. Sometimes they have bars over the ends to keep kids and logs out:)

I remember having a laughing fit when I saw the first Honda car at a Pontiac dealership in Lancaster. All these years later guess which brand isn't sold there. It wasn't that long ago a used car dealer friend was telling me that " those Hyoondays" were going to be a flash in the pan. Today...

It shouldn't be difficult to find a piece that's way out of balance. First thing I thought about was someone added "wipers" to the impeller blades and on fell off. Id disconnect the components at shesr pins and look at them individually if there's nothing obvious. Bent shaft?

That looks sturdy 👍

When I was in charge of the shops at work, cost was important but was much less of a consideration than quality. With that said, I did buy some equipment from across both oceans. In some cases what we needed wasn't even made in the USA. Now I'm retired. My tools aren't for commercial use...

I would add the metal. I'd also have the bottom of the added metal match the plane of the existing metal. Maybe tack and bang it down? Weld it in shorter stitches and let it cool between. Watch out that it doesn't pull back up as the weld cools. EDIT TOO ADD: I'm not an engineer or...

The only experience I have with Vevor is the mag drill that im very happy with. It gas been used numerous times and will poke a hole in 1" thich steel real fast. It isn't being used daily like a business would. I'm a hobbyist and can't say it would be something I'd have bought instead of...

I bought one of these cheapies from Amazon. I used it to pump diesel and transfer hydraulic oil. It works well and came in handy a few times. When I want to change oil or hydraulic fluid I don't trust a pump to get all of the liquid removed. I remove plugs.
