I have a 1996 Yardman 19.5 / 46 which I just bought. I've bought the sleeve hitch for the box blade that I'm going to get but want to know if a snow / dozer blade needs anything else to attach it? I've had compact tractors before and don't know much about the lawn tractors. Harris

I've got a Kioti LB1914 with a loader. I want to change the hydraulic oil and engine oil. Under the seat there is a opening that says oil but it has no dipstick. I don't see oil in it. so here's the questions. Is there a sight glass or dipstick to tell me if it's down? How much oil does...

Anything I can do here. I've got 400 hours more than the tractor should have because a friend left the key on. Now instead of 212 hours I've got 616 hours. Help.

I have one area that is about 3/4 acre, about 75 ft wide and is downhill. (Or uphill. Depends on how you look at it.) At the bottom of the hill is a drop off. I don't know grades but if you tried to go sideways, over you'd go. I have a Kubota B7510hst and an Agric tiller which is quite...

I have a kubota 21 hp B7510HST and have questions about putting a 3pt backhoe on it. Will it work without a subframe or will it twist everything? If it needs a subframe, about how much is it's cost installed? Will the hoses used for the hydraulic top link tilt be sufficient? Harris

A friend of mine has a BX 23 and has a question about moving the tractor forward while using the backhoe without turning the seat around. He now gets off the rear facing seat, turns it around, moves the tractor a few feet, turns the seat around again towards the backhoe and starts digging...

Is it possible to use the back of the box blade with the tractor in reverse for snow removal. With the cost of christmas, spending money for a back blade is out of the question. Living about 35 miles north of Portland, OR, we don't get a lot of snow but 3 years ago, when I didn't have a...

I have a HF 12" sliding chop saw that I don't use alot. If I put a metal cutting disk on it will it work for cutting metal? Harris

The title says it all. Mostly, where do you buy your wire and what do you pay. In the beginning I'll probably use .035 flux core because I don't have a gas bottle yet. Is there much difference for a novice like me to build projects using flux vs gas. Most of my welding will be done outside...

I have my hydraulic top link on the way and decided that I'll put a spool valve on to go between the curl and top link. The person that will be doing it says I need a double spool valve to do that. I thought that the previous info given to me here was that a single would work. I'm ready to...

I have a Kubota B7510HST but I think a lot of people with HST have the same problem. I love the HST theory but because of of a physical problem, I have a hard time lifting my ankle and rear of my foot up to hit the reverse pedal. I mentioned it to a guy at the local Kubota Dealer and he said...

I have posted a number of times about diverters, spools etc. and just didn't get what was being explained. My erroneous reasoning said that you disconnect from the curling function and went to the spool from there. Wrong... What I understand now is that you have to hook the spool to incoming...

I know that there are fixed thumbs for backhoes. Has anyone seen info on one that would work for a tractor bucket or one that uses other than hydraulics? What was used for this function before hydraulic grapples became popular? Is there more than one way to do this? I did a search but...

It looks like I'm going to get a top link hydraulic cylinder from Redlandhill on Ebay that already has the ends welded on. However it's goes from 20" to 28". I have a HF quick hitch on the back and my current top link only extends from 18" to 26". Will the extra 2" cause a problem of any kind...

I've searched the archives but haven't been able to find this info. I have a Kubota B7510 with FEL and want a 3ph top link that moves without me getting off the tractor. After looking at all the info given on my previous posts, I've decided to forget the other mechanical and electrical ways to...
