Recently I noticed fuel dripping and then running from a 鏑 shaped fitting from the rear, engine side of the fuel filter housing. Called the dealer and the mechanic said to tap it back in. Did that and the leak seemed to stop. He implied that it was not all all an unusual problem. So I still have...

I've got a rotary cutter that I guess I have backed into too many stumps trying to clear berries. Bent the fork that the tire goes in so bad that the tire doesn't turn any more. Tried to beat it straight and no luck. Any ideas or just pay the money and buy a new fork for the rear tire? Got...

I've looked at some of the threads on culverts and have some idea of what to do but...? My "bad" neighbor (long story but it has changed for the better due to his ill wife) is getting his part of a shared road paved. But there is less that 200 feet of road that he doesn't use that he doesn't...

We have a paw-paw tree that is starting to drop its fruit. Most of it still green with some just starting to have a little yellow. Will it ripen and what is going on, last year the fruit was more into the yellow when it dropped or when we picked it?

Have a young couple for neighbors and they are trying to get their drive in a bit better shape. It it on an easement, goes down from their house toward the west, turns 90 degrees to the south and goes on down to the paved road. The previous owners didn't take care of it in recent years. The...

Well, really it is a shallow kind of pot thing that has a bamboo water noise maker in it. She is wondering if the pot can be sealed to get another season's use out of it. Tried to get a shot of the crack but it looks like I was getting a little help from Slinky and son. The crack is a bit...

After reading part of that long easmeant nightmare thread I want to bring up our problem. Made the time element seem much more critical! We live on a private road at a 90 degree angle to a public road. To try to make it easier let us call the property by the public road A, mine B and the last...

Have a medium size Husky air compressor, on wheels. Didn't like bending down to drain the tank so I bought a HFT auto drain kit. Got a 90 degree elbow and started putting it on. Got to the point of cutting the hose from the tank to the regulator to put the "T" connection in and I can't get...

My father spent 37 to 58 in the Marine Corps, mostly as a combat engineer. An old friend of his sent me a set of pictures taken about 1949 or so when they were the active part of a Marine Reserve unit in Baltimore Maryland. Any idea of what make and model tractor? Thanks, and sorry if these...

Alright, I know that there are way too many variables to give hard and fast rules. I do know that all too much of our property is sloped. I have been careful and not scared myself too much on the slope but feel I could do more if I had a real idea of my limits. Is there a rule of thumb...15...

I am sure I saw a post about an available matching paint for the Kubota orange but I can't find it. Any common match for our orange?

Neighbor\'s road repair... Well, here I am in wet Oregon with a new L3830 with a combination loader bucket and 72" box blade. Neighbor saw the new tractor and wants us (me) to fix his gravel road. There are some parts of it that are so bad that the newspaper guy will not drive on it. There...

A Kubota L3830 found a home Friday and the learning curve on the buying, chosing a tractor was very steep but not quite as steep as it would have been without you guys and TBN. Thanks again. Michael (and the family including that orange thing in the yard!) (Guys was used in a general way, not...

with us?? Lee dropped it off on Friday and gave us a quick briefing on how do do things. (He will be back tomorrow for the full expanded course and question and answer session! And drop off the rotary cutter. Hats are on order!!) It was dropped off with 1.4 hours and now has 6.8, not too...

said after looking at the property and the current logging mess we need a L3830 with heavy duty fourway bucket and rotary cutter and a box scraper, a rake would be nice but..... He also suggest that if we went for the R-1 tires to have them foamed.... Too much debris and "junk" left from the...
