My B7800 fuel gauge reads between about 3/4 full and full, no matter what the actual fuel level is. The gauge reads zero when the switch is off. I suspect the sender unit. Has anyone had this behavior? The only threads I found mentioned nonfunctioning gauges. I need to determine which unit...

Hi all, I just bought a zero turn mower. Several of the brands (Cub Cadet and Toro, for examples) had a garden hose quick connect in the top of the mower deck to wash out the deck. The brand I selected did not have this port but they are available aftermarket. I have spent my share of time...

When I click on the ad label for a forum (Speeco for the parts/repairs forum, for example) I get a blank window: http://d1.openx.org/ck.php?n=ad7790d8&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE I assume I should go to a Speeco page or Surplus Center or whoever I was trying to shop with. Am I correct...

This is a hydraulic problem so I decided to post here rather than the Trailer section. I have a 7x10 dump trailer I bought new exactly a year ago. I use it about once every 3 weeks or so. When I used it yesterday I dumped and lowered the bed (gravity down). It worked normally. Then when I...

Hello, all. I have a 2005 Diesel pickup (bought new) that used to be my daily driver and towed a horse trailer. It has 45K on it. I now have another car so I don't use it as frequently. The problem is that I have put much less than 1000 miles on it since the last oil change this spring...

I posted this in the Kubota forum but only got 1 responder so forgive me for double posting. I used the tractor about a week before - started right up and no problems. Then, last Friday it would not start. It cranks but does not start so it is not one of the safety systems. I checked the...

Hello, I need some help. My B7800 ran fine the other day but would not start yesterday. It cranks but does not fire up. It kind of acts like the hard-to-start behavior right after I change the fuel filter (which I did a couple months ago). Short of taking off a hose, is there a way to test...

Are there any guidelines about how to bend metal? What temperature do you preheat to? Examples- 1. My new-to-me rock rake has a couple bent tines. Can I heat and bend them back to somewhat the original shape. 2. The blades on my manure spreader need to be straightened. I can lever these to...

We have a few unirrigated acres that I want to improve for horse pasture (to remain unirrigated) the Extension agent said to seed before April 15 and to make sure the grass was seeded with a grass drill - not a grain drill. I looked at a nice refurbished John Deere 8' drill for sale at what I...

Just a curiosity question. I was at a used tractor dealer today (looking at grain drills) As I left I saw the rear end of a TN75N. I assume the N is for NARROW as it looked really narrow- the rear wheel looked unnaturally close together. It was a nice looking cab tractor with 3 factory...

I am considering getting a little larger tractor with cab-air-heat. Is there any rhyme or reason to the JD model numbers? Here are some examples. I know someone with a 4440 - it is over 100 HP. I looked up a couple others in ads. A 4410 is 35 hp and a 4310 appears to be a large garden...

I have a couple threads with parts lists saved but TBN just takes me to the main forum page when I click on them. Does anyone know the parts numbers for the B2910 3PH telescoping LIFT arms? I am going to finally get around to replacing the dreaded 3PH turnbuckle style safety chains with the...

Hello all, We live in the foothills of northern Colorado. The land has been grazing land for cattle in the past but has never been farmland. We are putting in horse fence and I am having trouble using my PHD. After reading posts on this site and talking to neighbors I decided that I needed a...

Has anyone built an arena? We are moving our horses home and I want to build a 120 x 200 arena. I know there are companies that do this, and I may use one but am thinking I could do it with the right implements. There is an arena groomer for sale that scarifies and levels (and is endorsed by...

Larimer County, CO: Watching the news tonight there was a report of a rollover fatality of a guy trying to get his truck unstuck. There were no other details. I have been a little lax using my seatbelt lately with all the all the backblade snowplowing. Let's be careful out there.

Just curious: Tonight we were having dinner downtown in the big city. It is a street that has been converted to a walking mall and buses only. A city (I assume) worker came by in a little black tractor a with ROPS and a canopy pulling a trailer. It was small but looked to be a CUT. Anyway...

Hello, all. I am in the market for an ATV to run to the barn and back and pull a trailer hauling hay or "used hay" for a 2-4 horse setup. I would like an RTV900 or the like but that's not in the budget. I am only considering the primary Japanese motorcycle brands. One choice is a 2x4 manual...

I tried to search for skid boots and got an invalid argument error. I searched for a term that I have successfully searched for in the past and got the same error: Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/tractorb/htdocs/forums/mysql.inc.php on...
