A day in the life of a Kubota BX25D

[Happy Gilmore]

Hang in there and get well

Before we get to the BX let me say I really hate Dr's. A screwup in the paper work has made them have to re submit all my paperwork to the insurance company. Good greif Charlie Brown. Oh well.....So I still sit wait in pain and tears.....thanks again for all the well wishes. If anyone is wondering what they are doing here is a link. Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain

You may know I got the BX stuck a while back, well I had left it muddy till last weekend. Odd thing is the longer you leave mud on the harder it is to get off. After many hours with the power washer....really all day, but that does not mean I was doing it all day, I got her cleaned up.

She is now sitting in my shop getting ready to take care of some bumps and scuffs she got during her summer of hard work.

Worst one is one of the foot pegs got bent and is scratching the arms for the backhoe when they go down. Anyone have a good idea on how to bend the foot peg back out.

#2 and this one really bugs me for some reason, when starting the exhaust is right on the loader arm....now there is one spot that is all black and sooty. Is there any way to clean this off or should I just repaint. Also has anyone made any kind of exhaust extention (4shorts?) to keep this from happening.

Thanks guys.....We had a nice weekend in the 50's but we are all ready for snow now.

I played around with the direction of the exhaust. I have had aimed straight down to forward and have settled on somewhere in between. Definitely could use a little extension! Pointing it down diverts it from hitting the tractor but the fumes and dust that gets blown up is worse. It's a simple hose clamp connection so it can be adjusted easily. I might have to fabricate something this winter.

Now that could go two ways....super cool or look real stupid. Me being never afraid of looking stupid as that is my natural state I might just give that a go.

Any ideas on the foot peg? Thinking of chain + tree + pull = who knows lol.

Yes I am a bit loopy....but very sad....something got to one of my turkeys last night.

We use to go hunting together

Do any of you all have a knocking type of noise when side hilling. Sort of sounds like the something is bumping the frame? Sort of wondering if the engine mount is loose - got dark too soon tonight for me to look into it

As to the soot on the loader, it comes right off with just about any cleaner but Simple Green works great for me.
