    Broken loader pin, need advice

    I have an ATI quick disconnect plate on the front of my loader. One of my pins is broken. I believe it's the same pin used with factory loader. Picked up new pin at dealer. Any ideas to help remove what's left of the old pic would be helpful. Thanks.

    B and L series bh operators

    I will never get the use out of my BH to have it pay for itself, but as an earlier poster stated having it there when I need it, to do what I want is invaluable. One of the best things having a TLB is finding new uses for it. I've used mine for a multitude of things not in the manual, but made...

    2 questions I need help with???

    Last weekend we had 2+ft of snow. After pulling my tractor out of the garage and making a few passes the right front tire rode off of the rim. It's a 16.5 + 10.5 on a L3710 Kubota. This is the second this tire has done this. I keep the tire pressure as recommended. Should I put tubes in my front...

    Sandblasting?

    I have a ton of rusted items I'd like to clean up and was wondering if I can sandblast on a small scale. What would I need? Is there affordable equipment? Who carries this stuff?

    I need a salt/sand spreader

    I have a bad driveway, steep and with a curve. It needs to be sanded after it's cleaned up. I'd rather not do it by hand so I've been thinking of a spreader that I can mount in a receiver I welded to my FEL bucket and wire to my electrical system. I don't want junk but $1000 seems a little...

    My weekend fun.

    Went up to Maine to check on the property. I was unsure as to what I would find. The plow guy called last week and told me he couldn't make it halfway up the driveway because of ice under the snow. Now if the driveway is not clean the propane truck can't deliver, you see where I'm going here...

    Fun Time Installing Tire Chains

    Installed my chains today L3710 Kubota, not a bad job but it sure tuckered me out. Of course looking at 60 and out of shape didn't help. I have a question, when I bought the chains they told me not to put spring tighteners on the front tires, the chains should float. In the first turn I walked...

    Ours is finally coming to an end.

    I was inspired by 'sr160009's thread to post some pics of our retirement home. "sr160009" I hope yours goes smoother than mine did. My wife and I have never lived in a house of our own. We've always owned a two apartment house and have always had people walking over our heads. Our goal has...

    Who am I saving it for ?

    I 'd like to know other opinions on this. I took this quote from another thread about installing a cup holder. Vic, I'm not singling you out for any reason, it's just that your statement is one I've made for many years. I wouldn't add stuff to my vehicles that required drilling holes in the...

    Came home from work and found this

    My wife has been after me to move some trees I dropped this spring. I just never got around to it. Well it's like when I leave my clothes hanging around she gets fed up and does it herself.
