I had a young man bring his Stihl Ms390 chainsaw to me for a muffler mod and carb work. I had to use a long 3/8 pull handle to remove the bar nuts. I talked with him when I finished and he said the chain would continuously loosen up if he didn't. He was not lifting the end of bar and would...

I have worked on many JD chainsaws and all were top quality saws, made by Echo and Efco. Not the case today. I always considered JD products to be quality until I took a non running John Deere 300CS in on trade for a Stihl MS290. It is nothing more then a Plastic Homelite 300! Basically a...

I looked over a John Deere 750 tractor yesterday. Tractor is exceptionally clean, and runs like a new one, with 886 hr. showing, looks like 1989 was the last production year. Everything looks original and the 3 pt. hitch works as it should. It has a five foot finishing mower. It is a 2 wheel...

A few days ago, I started a post about selling chainsaws. I went to an estate sale yesterday. About 200 yards from my home. I could not believe the prices! They had a few Stihl items. Stihl BG85 blower-----$160.00 Stihl 021 saw----$185.00 HT70 pole saw with hedger attachment---$385.00 Stihl...

I have an old WH C175 with MANY hours of trouble free service. I have owned this machine since 1982 and engine has had no repairs, just serviced regularly. I have rebuilt countless small engines but have never rebuilt a twin Kohler. I have been planning to rebuild this engine because of smoke on...

I have 16 chainsaws in my collection, I need to sell some of them to make more room. I have had many calls and a few lookers and have sold one in two months. All are good and most rebuilt and are priced 1/2 or less their new price. Thinking about selling on eBay but never thought I would have...

I have a Kubota B2320 that is a 2011 model with 120 hours and has a front end loader. I have noticed an increasing-- alternating squealing, or whining sound, coming from the front of tractor, like under the oil pan. When it first started, it made a sound like a stick rubbing something and the...

I have a Kubota B2320 and have great difficulty changing implements. The stabilizer setup, with turnbuckles and hooking up on unleveled ground, is the main problem. I have considered a three point quick hitch attachment, but the equipment--finish mower, landscape box, rock rake, and tiller--are...

I have searched and found many post concerning tooth bar fabrication. I have six MF Sickle Bar Tooth Guards that I am considering using for this purpose. I know I have seen post on this subject but just can't find the right one. My main concern is if these teeth are cast iron or maybe forged...

I finally go tired of having to add air to both front tires on my B2320. I added "slime" and it helped, but there was always green liquid slime that seeped out of both tires. Even the sidewalls!! Just a shame that I bought a new tractor and I get INFERIOR TWO PLY CARLISLE tires. Since my tractor...

I bought a Kubota B2320 with FEL about a year ago. It has no more warranty and has 95 hours. Both front tires will leak down to about 1/2 inflation in about four days. Always has and selling dealer (used) stated Kubota would not do anything about it--different tire warranty.:mad: They are...

I have a nearly new B2320. I am in the process of adding ballast to the rear tires and would like suggestions. I live in NW Alabama and the tractor is stored in my basement. I do not need freeze protection so I plan to use pure water in the tires. Now here is my question----with pure water in...

I was seaching for scrap steel for a project and ran up on a couple of these baskets. They were in a pile of scrap steel at my local yard. I bought them for $2.oo each and used one on my B2320. Sorry I don't have any idea what their original use was but it sure works good as a storage place. It...

Last summer I noticed a new guy bushogging the property next to me. I know the guy and he is the type person that goes wide open at everything he does. I have bushoged the property for the previous owner so I knew a little about it. I thought I better go out and warn him about a power pole guide...

Just to prove that you should check the simple things first---Many years ago, I bought a grown up piece of property and I couldn't even see my barn from the house. Didn't have the money to buy a tractor and someone suggested that I purchase a Big Wheel Jazoo self propelled lawnmower. A friend...

How many of you have ordered parts from Lawn Mower Equipments and Parts, Blades, Lawn Mower Tires, Belts and Starters | Just Mower Parts ?

I just bought a Gravely 16G Lawn Tractor. Absolutely the best constructed lawn mower I have ever owned. Now-- a question. I have a lot of work in rough ground (not mowed) and I would like to have more ground clearance, for the deck. When the deck is in "raised" position (transport) the gauge...

I am in need of about four flat idler pulleys. They are no longer available and I have searched extensivly! All have bad bearings that are sandwiched between the pulley halves. I removed the rivets and found the ball bearings have no identification numbers. They are 1.575" OD by .500" thk. and...

I recently bought a Gravely 16G 50" cut with three basket bagger. I have not tried the bagging system out, and I have never owned one. It has new blades now but they look like regular blades, not "high lift". Will "gator" type mulching blades do better on this machine or do I need to get "high...

I just bought a Gravely 16G with the 3 basket Bagger. The PO lost one of the baskets during transporting on a trailer. I have searched the net for availability and I cannot find one. Any help would be appreciated. The tractor has faded paint. What is weard, is that the paint surface is near...

Iand I cannot find one. Any suggestions?:confused: just bought a Gravely 16G with the 3 basket Bagger. The PO lost one of the baskets during transporting on a trailer. I have searched the net for availability

Some years ago, I was moving dirt with my front bucket of my I.H. Backhoe. I had to pass a large tree that was on a hill beside my barn. I had made several trips and on one trip, I noticed a sharp decrease in power while traveling up the hill. I had the full bucket about 4 or 5 feet off the...

:confused:I bought a new Kubota ZD221 lawn mower and one of the front tires would leak down a few pounds in about three weeks. I discovered the sidewalls had tiny cracks and there were about three in each front tire. I recently bought a B2320 that is 09 model with 100 hours. When I bought the...

When purchasing any item---it pays to shop:thumbsup: I priced two used 5' United Box Blades at two different dealers. These are small businesses that deal more with used equipment and tractors. One was bent on back and needed paint, the other was well used but looked better. These were the...

I went to a local dealer to check on a landscape box and a rock rake. He said they were "Bushog" brand and that he would have to order the rake. This was the first place I checked and the prices were good---But when I went to the equipment yard to see the Box Blade, it was a "United" brand. I...

I have searched this site for any instructions on how to post pictures, with no luck:confused: I know there are post about this but I am unable to find any. When I search "photo posting", I get several threaads that are of no help. Can someone instruct me?

I recently bought my first Kubota--2009 B2320HSD. Since this machine was purchased used, I have no idea about the history. I have participated in threads on 1/4" valve operation and although this type system is new to me, I understand how it is supposed to operate. NOW---My owners manual states...

:(Why do I have to constantly REFRESH every page to get latest post? I don't have this problem with other websites and was wondering if, and how, I can correct whatever problem there is.:confused:

THANKS all for the recommendations and suggestions. All three tractors looked new, but the B7800 sold and the owner of the B7500 would not budge on asking price. :( I ended up buying the B2320, with a 5 foot finish mower for $11,500 tax included :thumbsup: Not a steal---But I have looked and...

:confused:I am considering three different tractors. I have checked on spechs and either machine will satisfy my needs on my two acres. 2009 Kubota B2320 4X4 hydrostat with FEL 105 hrs.---$11,850 Kubota Dealer 2004 Kubota B7500 4X4 hydrostat with FEL 129 hrs.---included is a 60" Finish Mower...

I bought a New Kubota ZD221 mower. I only kept it one season and just sold it. Other people don't seem to have the problem I did with lawn damage. Skid of spin marks everywhere I turned. I tried every technique to prevent this damage and finally went back to my 26 year old WheelHorse mower. No...

I have received confusing information pretaining to PTO operation of different Kubota tractors. I think the PTO operation is different between the standard transmission and the hydrostat model and that is what is confusing. I have talked to two different dealers and they didn't seem to know what...
