Years ago there was a dealer some what close in my area. There were several around. Friend of mine bought one new because they were cheaper. The Kubota engine was no issues but the rest of the machine was a lot to be desired. They were a no frills machine. He had it probably five years until he...

I will throw out my two cents. When I walk into the big Ag spray parts supply store they have Jomar thread seal and Rector Seal 21 Black laying on the counter for sale. Years ago the counter man I still trust today said Rector seal all the way. That's all I have used for years on sprayers...

I blew snow for close to twenty years with a three point blower and its been twenty years since it left the farm. Even when I was young my neck didn't like any part of it. I move all my snow with a snow bucket on my skid steer. We just don't seem to get the big snows like we use to. If I ever...

How about giving a 5Hp gas engine air compressor a look? I bought a 5 HP thirty years ago and a buddy is still using it today as I up graded to a 13 HP about fifteen years ago. Works great for a farm compressor. I have it mounted on a trailer so it can go were its needed.

I have always ran Fill-Rite pumps. I have had excellent service from them one of my pumps has pumped hundreds of thousands gallon of diesel and have never put a vane kit in it. I have friends that have tried the knock of pumps and they just don't hold up. I have always ran a Cim-Tek fuel filter...

I have a lot of hydraulic cylinder around this farm. I fix them as needed. When they start dripping oil they come off and go to the hydraulic shop to be repaired. I am lucky to have one of the biggest hydraulic repair shops in our state less than twenty miles from me. I stopped messing with...

If I was doing the work I wouldn't weld that bolt to that plate. I have seen were folks had welded the bolt to the plate and the bolt sheared off at a later date. It will probably never break if you weld it but some 20 below cold morning you catch a rock or curb pushing snow is when it would break.

Have a friend that has five of them for ranch pickups. They went from diesels to the 6.4 gas probably been close to a dozen years ago when they came our in the 2500 and 3500 trucks. They run flat bed, bale beds on them and have had good luck with them pulling stock trailers and hay trailers...

Back in the 80's and 90's I had a couple semi tractors I installed Espar brand heater {run with diesel fuel} on because the drivers parked the trucks where using a plug in block heater wasn't an option.

Remove the fuel from the tank and get the wet, dry shop vacuum out and suck the leaf out. I have pulled a lot of bean stubble and corn leaves out of a lot of combine fuel tanks with out removing the tank. Removing the tank is the last resort. McMXi I didn't see your post until I hit the button.

I have four pieces of equipment that have Kubota diesel engines in them and only one has a block heater in it which is my skid steer. The other three won't be used when its 30 degrees and lower out.

Ray That's a good looking set up. Enjoy the new toys.

In my life time I have bought more than my share of repo equipment from farm tractors, semi's ,cars, pickups and list goes on. The key to things like this tractor is you have to buy them {wholesale}. You have to buy it so if it ends up needing a motor you are still ok and you have to able to do...
