My B7800 is 13-years-old with 1100 hrs. The tractor shut down after I used it for two hours. I found the 5 Amp fuse that protects the key switch was blown. I replaced fuse, turned on the engine and it shut off after a couple of seconds. Same fuse blown. The third fuse didn't even operate the...

Thanks for the help JJ. I went to take a picture of my loader valve as it looks quite different from the one you posted. Are these the parts that I need to take out and clean/lube? Also. If I take these parts off, are there a bunch of small parts that will be lunched into outer space by a...

$2.99...or so. No spills in years.

This happened yesterday in Bangor, Maine. I will say nothing more. Stay safe wherever you are. http://bangordailynews.com/slideshow/man-crushed-in-bangor-during-independence-day-parade/?ref=relatedSidebar

I bought a set of old ring chains and modified them to fit my tractor. I bent the rings to match the curvature of my tires and added extra teeth to make it a smoother ride. All that work turned out real well except that the new "teeth" I added to the rings are wearing very quick. They are...

A few days ago I bought a used O/A torch setup that came with a hose and oxygen and acetylene regulators. They guy fired up the torch (he was out of Oxy) but burned some acetylene so I could see it work. When I got home and looked at everything in detail I noticed that the acetylene regulator...

I remember reading somewhere that a gold-tinted #9 lens is a good choice to use with a stick welder when welding outside on a bright day. So. Is there any merit to this, or I just don't have my memory straight. Since I always weld outside I thought it might be worth spending $10 for another...

Hi all, I have been considering buying a drill press for quite some time. I found a used one near-by but the lowest drilling speed is a bit of a concern. The slowest RPM is 380 and I wonder if that is slow enough. I have been drilling with a rather large variable-speed hand drill and there is...

After a long time waiting I finally got around to starting my logging winch project. I have been looking for a used logging winch for several years but they are very expensive if ever come up for sale. So. After seeing some PTO powered winches on Craig''s list I finally bought an old wrecker...

I'm thinking of buying a winch that is powered by a hi-torque hydraulic motor. The seller says that it is hooked up so the motor directly drives the drum. I checked the specs on the said motor and according to the manufacturer it is a 250rpm @ maximum input of 20 GPM/3000psi. My tractor...

I just got my garden emptied out a few days ago and I have about 40-50lbs of carrots and about 20-25lbs of beets that I want to store. Previously this bounty would get put into an unheated room and then use it while it lasts or until it goes bad. I remembered that years ago my grandmother used...

... BUT these guys proved me wrong. It also proves that these little tractors are tough as nails. YouTube - How to load a Kubota tractor on a trailer!!! Episode 1 YouTube - How to load a Kubota tractor on a trailer!!! Episode 2

I'm about to start my happy adventure of reshingleing my house. I bought a used roofing nailer that seems to function just fine except that it does not drive the nails into the wood far enough. They need to be driven about 1/16 to 1/8" deeper. The nail gun is a Bostitch RN-45-1 and it seems...

There is an Ingersol H-70 42" tiller for sale locally and I'm thinking about buying it. I was wondering if it is something I can run with the hydraulic remote valve on my tractor. The total hydraulic output of my machine is 9.5 gpm so that might work. The recommended flow for the motor on the...

I bought a "used" #9000 capacity Mile Marker hydraulic winch for later fabricating onto a logging winch. The winch has no cable (it has never been used or installed). I went to a local place that sells cable and they have 5/16 aircraft cable but no specific winch cable. The aircraft cable...
