I have followed with interest the various ideas others have had to adapt truck type plows to their tractors. My Father and brother had adapted an old 7.5' Western plow to replace the bucket on his 1976 L-series 2wd Kubota. We noticed the loader on my 79 Ford 1700 was exactly the same as the old...

I am going to Florida in a week. Not an unusual or even mildly noteworthy statement to anyone. Except I've never flown. Not an unusual or even noteworthy statement to anyone in my family, except my hot shot I.S. brother who is neck deep in tickets to exotic and dangerous places like...

I am being nagged by my wife to get a winch for the truck. I know, I know, for better or worse, right? There are a lot of things that could be done by hand, but my dear sweet wife thinks it is time for me to learn new ways which do not require as much shirt size as hat size (which is why last...

Just wanted to say that I have been having a lovely email conversation with Mr. Bargeron and he has sent me a nice copy of his L4350/4850/5450 brochure to feed my desire for this series. I find him to be knowledgable and enthusiastic about subjects that interest him. A big public thanks, Dick!

I'm looking at framing nailers. I appreciate the tutorial I've gotten ghosting coversations on other air tools here on TBN, so I figured I'd start a thread here. I'll post over on CBN, too. I've got a couple projects to do - a shed and a garage rebuild. We have great sources of local green...

Does anyone have any info on Koeing Iron Works, in Houston, TX? I rescued a worm drive (PTO) winch from becoming scrap metal. In the process of cleaning and untangling the cable, I discovered that the gear case had been cracked in two, and I'd like to know if there are parts, before I try to...

WHO SAYS REDNECKS AREN\'T REAL BRIGHT? I just got this via e-mail: "Hello, is this the FBI?" "Yes. What do you want?" "I'm calling to report about my neighbor Billy Bob Smith! He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood." "Thank you very much for the call, sir." The next day, the FBI...

Hey Anyone build a forge? Anyone got a hot (!!) setup for someone who doesn't want to make it a vocation, but would like to fool around with some simple stuff (re-pointing wood hooks, twisting and bending stuff for fun and utility), then maybe try welding, or forging some blades? I got a...

One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" The teacher...

I've been in & out of the Kubota forum, so excuse this if it was discussed and I missed it (don't think so, though). Are there any leaks or new info or sneak peeks about the new L models yet? Local dealers say they will be out in October - I kinda figured TBN would start heating up with talk...

Just got home - took the back way, and came up on a lovely 3410 - FEL, R4's, and an old 6 foot cutter on the back. He was traveling at a good clip, flashers on, seemed aware of his surroundings, even though it was dusk. ROPs was folded down, though. Owwwww.

I searched on home schooling and found a few references, and some discussion of schools in general, like the Childproof Locks thread (~Oct 2001 in this forum). Anyone want to talk, ask questions, or anything else about this subject? Any others out there, home teaching, private schooling, or just...

I was reading the "hang my head....." thread, and there was a brief mention of brakes. When parking or dismounting for any reason, I always leave both range and speed selectors in neutral on the transmission, and I always set the brake. Is there any problem with leaving the brakes engaged for...

How many time have I read other threads and had interesting side discussions result. Love this board! Let's see how this one does....... Single Action vs Double, Revolver vs Self Loader, Brands, finishes, etc. I like Smiths & Rugers. The Ruger DA's are a little chunky, but that doesn't matter...
