71F and clear @ 22:00, heading down to around 70F for the overnight low.

Decent day, was pretty warm out there this afternoon ... high was 88.7F.

Got a couple of bills scheduled for payment first thing.

Checked the bag on the Japanese Beetle trap out front, still not full. Will give it another day.

Got the Lock-N-Lube coupler installed on the grease gun and moved it out front to grease the loader.

Dispatched The Woman down to Harbor Freight for a garden hose quick coupler set.

Given the heat, I decided to spend some time in the shade in front of the garage planting some more seeds:

Woman worked on her petunias.

Got the aquarium stand leveled and the board for the top shelf put on and put the 4 square pots with now-trimmed petunias on the shelf.

At that point the Kubota was mostly in shade so I greased the loader. Lock-N-Lube worked great ...

Cleaned off the loader valve and was able to isolate the leaking fitting - a 1/4" female flat face coupler. Swapped it out with another one I had retrieved from the shop and Volia ! ... no more leak at the loader valve ...

Also cleaned/degreased the motor for the Hamilton Beach blender.

Moved the Kubota out the way and hooked up the dump cart to the Cub.

Loaded up the pots with seeds in them and got them moved around back to the shelves and got them watered.

Woman had broiled up some brats and baked a couple of potatoes so I stopped for dinner.

After that I got the rest of the green beans planted.

Final bean count was:

42 Cherokee Yellow Wax Beans

123 Slenderette Green Beans

Then watered the summer squash I planted the other day.

After that I took the watering can and watered all the holes where I had planted beans ... just to make sure they didn't dry out.

Once that was done I ran up to the shop and locked up up there.

Emptied out the phosphoric acid out of the Hudson hand sprayer and rinsed it out after I got back down to the house.

Time for an iced cream bar on the couch.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Coffee finished brewing. 67° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 82° with cloudy skies. Got brackets mounted to SSQA adapter. Using a 1/2" bolt. Installed on tractor. Drove over to neighbors and tested on his Pallet Forks. ( i do not have any SS attachments yet). Adapter fit perfectly. Need to deburr brackets before doing final attachment to adapter. Will not get that done for a few of days. Grocery shopping this morning. Then Dr. appointment in afternoon for my foot.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Here is a picture of adapter installed on tractor. Forgot to take picture of pallet forks during test.

63 heading to 88 and the humidity returns.

Sodamo, not often we wish our stuff breaks/fails, but it was fortunate for you...glad the fix may be forthcoming.

Ron, glad your SSQA works perfectly. What attachments will you use?

Cool enough yesterday to run the chainsaw and clean up some junk trees as well as cut a small amount of firewood. Still have some branches to pull to the brush pile.

 

[ronjhall]

Wngsprd, I am hoping to find a deal on a grapple. I already have a bucket grapple, snow blade, pallet forks and 3ph that fit my pin type QA. Have not been able to find a pin type QA for new tractor.

good Wednesday morning all
63 going up to 87 today, another nice day
foodshopping this morning, then
a visit up to Popgadget's home to take him some cucumbers
the next batch of cukes goes to Ken, he gets the deluxe veggie package for
helping me with that screen door.
then later over to a friends for dinner

bit of mouth soreness and remaining headache from trip to dentist yesterday.
this might hurt for a bit
yup

Ron, I never liked my bucket grapple, always wish I had gotten a brush one.
Already had a regular bucket, so the bucket grapple never added much, sometimes got in the way.
I made mistake of buying super heavy duty Long bucket grapple that weighed a lot and too much out front on my Kubota.
though when I put that Long grapple on the big Massey, it was unstoppable. Still would have rather had a more open grapple.
grapples save your back...
nice job on the quick attach mod. I envy your fab skills.

Drew, I have had 2 buckets for my tractor since I bought it 24 years ago. Dealer gave me a bent bucket. I straightened and reinforced it. Then added the grapple clamp. Has served me very well. Bucket that came with tractor is still in very good condition. Both buckets have their place for projects.
