    Buying Advice Towable Backhoe? From China?

    I have that exact model from DR. It was a couple years old, but had never been used. The original owner purchased it, started it once, then got sick and passed away. The bucket had never seen dirt. His wife had been trying to sell it for 2 years when I came along. I'd been looking for a...

    My Tractor Shed

    Hey all.... Well, here's the latest on my shed. I built a couple of standard swing type doors for it. They came out around pretty good, and don't really weigh that much. I used 3 10" hinges per side, so hopefully they won't sag too much over time. My puppy didn't seem too impressed with them...

    My Tractor Shed

    Well.... after a couple straight days of rain, I went out and got my roof trim installed. It was a blistering 43 degrees, but only light wind, so not too bad outside..... Glad I got it a little more water tight.... I beat the snow by about 6 hours. Now to decide on what type of doors I'm going...

    My Tractor Shed

    I thought some of you might be interested in seeing my latest project since I got home. Ever since I got my GC, it's had to sit outside. So to get it out of the weather I decided to build a small tractor shed for it. The original design start life as a basic loafing shed, but with the help of...

    So....sort of an attachment ...

    Greetings!... I've posted a couple times in the past asking about 3 PH backhoe units, mostly looking for people who have one, or have experience with one.... I've got a Massey GC2300, so not the biggest girl on the block... but I have a need to do a bunch of trenching. I was looking at the 3PH...

    Backhoe boom drop with any other movement...

    Hey guys (and gals...).... My patient quest for a backhoe finally worked itself out.... mostly. That is, what I found isn't an actual 3 point unit (what I was originally looking for) or a sub-frame unit.... it's a tow-able. It's a 2011 DR Power Tow-able, with the 9HP engine. The original...

    Brush cutter blade profile?

    Hey guys, Thanks for the info! I went and picked it up. I'll need to add a new piece of material over the skids, they've worn through the welds on the front. And I'll have to get a new shield for the PTO.... it was stuck in the collapsed position but good. I had to cut the shield off (which...

    Brush cutter blade profile?

    Hey guys! So I will be picking up a new-to-me John Deere 403 48" inch 3-pt brush cutter tomorrow. I looked at it today and other than some paint wear on the edges and minimal metal wear on the lower edges, it looks to be in decent shape. The gear box feel tight, etc.... My question is this...

    Ford 105A Tiller parts availability?

    Hey everyone, I'm going to go take a look at a 48" Ford 105A tiller this afternoon. I know that blades are available for it, but are other parts (gears/chain, bearings, etc) available? Or are things like the bearings pretty much universal (Timken, etc...)? It looks rough (paint wise) from the...

    Older Mule 500 questions

    If you're gonna keep your Mule for a while, I usually suggest getting the factory service manual for it. They're usually not too bad price wise. And they have all the service procedures for this kind of stuff.... I've never worked on the 500 before, but it's probably similar to what I have...

    Mule 4010 Trans Diesel overheating

    Hey guys, Thought I'd give everyone an update.... Got all the parts in finally, and got the head gasket replaced. This seem to have fixed the issue. The Mule is running great and is no longer overheating, even with the temperatures we've been having during the day here (108 - 116 the last few...

    Changing drive belt on Mule 3010 Trans 4x4

    You don't say whether it's a gas or diesel engine, but I suspect the procedure is about the same. I have done the clutches and belt on the 4010 Trans Diesel. Yes, you will want to pull the shock and the exhaust. You will not be able to get the outer and inner covers removed all the way...

    Mule 4010 Trans Diesel overheating

    Hey guys, I have a 2012 Kawasaki Mule 4010 Trans 4x4 Diesel that is having overheating issues. One of the guys I work with was driving it and it died on him. We towed it back and I started going over things. Turns out it was dieing due to the engine overheating. Before I go any further I...

    GC2300 Drain Plug Torque Spec??

    Greetings! My son was using my tractor today and it lost all hydraulic pressure. He shut it off and discovered that the drain plug for the transmission/pump had fallen out. Luckily he was able to find the plug laying where it fell out (....followed the big trail of oil.... :rolleyes: )...

    Kawasaki Mule 610 Upgrade Project (lots of pics)

    Thanks Eddie! Ya, I knew it would look different, but I didn't think it would be that different. :laughing: I was going to go with a black bed liner, but my son talked me into the desert tan. Which I now agree was a better choice for our area. The only other thing we went back and forth about...

    My concrete bucket

    Greetings! So when I was home on leave a couple of months ago, I put up a fence around my property. In the process I had to set about 45 posts in the ground. We have nothing but sand where I'm at, so they have to be set pretty deep and with concrete. Otherwise the wild horses will push them...

    Hello, I just picked up a GC2300 this week. It came with a FEL, BB and Auger. But one of the things I'd really like to get for it is a backhoe. I found a small 3PT unit not far from my house, but I can't really find any info on the thing. It's a Kelly B10. It's listed as a 1999, and looks to be...
