    Loader  broken FEL arm to bucket attachment pin

    What's that pin called? it attaches the FEL side arm to the bucket. Mine is about 3/4" diameter & 4&1/2" long. Broke one today moving HEAVY chunks of logs to the splitter. Can't find any listing anywhere so I assume I'm not calling it by it's proper name. Just started my firewood processing and...

    broken FEL arm to bucket attachment pin

    Hey all!! Kubota BX 1860 - my little princess, went up against some big ole chunks of firewood logs. She won but in the process broke one of the attachment pins where one of the FEL arms connects to the bucket. It's just a pin of HARD steel about 3/4" diameter and 4&1/2" long with a hole thru...

    BX1860 started 30 min ago - now it won't even turn over

    Hey all, Using my tractor all day was fine, started every time . Was working out of the bucket drilling my flagstone house for new shutters. Finally got done and ready to put tractor up for the rest of day and she won't even turn over. The battery is fine - even tried jumping and still won't...

    Power steering hose leaking...

    Sorry for the long delay - had a sick friend staying with us who got a lot worse before he got better. Anyway, I replaced the 2 front power steering hoses from the steering wheel to the steering cylinder. It took longer than I anticipated (about 3 hours) as I added sections of garden hose over...

    Power steering hose leaking...

    Just found a leak last night from the left front almost over the axle on my BX1860. Just moved about 24 yards of wood chips and have about 24 more yards to go. I only have 105 hrs, seems a little early for a hose to go. I ordered both hoses that are routed from the steering wheel to the front...

    Am considering hiring a contractor to frame, supply/pour and broom finish a 480sq ft (40' X 12') with 2 or 3 control joints, 4"-5" thick, 4000 psi concrete patio to the back of the house. I figure about 9 or 10 yards. Have plenty of access for mixer(s) & equipment. I'll do the ground prep...

    Quick Hitches  HF quick hitch question

    Considering Harbor Freight Quick Hitch. With the 25% off coupon I can afford the cost. I have a 2012 Kubota BX1860, but I think all BX models have the same size 3ph - right?? So far I only have one 3ph attachment - KK 4' box blade and it's a wrestling match getting it on and off the 3ph. If...

    Thoughts on hydraulic top link..

    I know nothing about them, but it's quite a chore continually adjusting the top link manually. I have a BX1860 and use a fixed box blade. How would I install a hyd top link and would I need to add another hyd fitting to hook it to? Would I need to drain the entire HST, more hoses? What's a good...

    HDMI Splitter

    Not sure this is the right forum for this, if this needs to be moved to a different forum I'm sure a moderator will catch it, but here goes anyway. This is for the new tech gurus, or anyone with previous experience, out there; I only have 2 HDMI cable inputs, which are already being used by...

    Box Scraper What box blade to consider??

    Got all my pins and hardware yesterday @ TSC. Tried on the box today, still way too muddy to try it, fit fine but was very sloppy side-to-side. Guess I have to adjust my stabilizer turnbuckles to alleviate the slop. Here's a few pics..

    Box Scraper  What box blade to consider??

    I have a BX1860 SCUT. All the paperwork says it's a category 1 3ph. I've been told it can't handle a 5' BB only a 4' BB. I've seen a more affordable new 4' at TSC with great reviews but it's Cat 0, will it work, do I need to beef up the connection points? I plan to use it for maintaining my 225'...

    Carryalls

    Here's mine. I welded the frame from old bed frame and made the box from PT 2X6's. I built it to carry extra fuel cans, chains, cooler, hot beverages when I'm moving snow. Haven't gotten any snow yet but I moved a blown tire to my other garage/shop to install a tube. Works great for what I need...

    Looking for new handheld gas leaf blower - What to buy???

    My older Ryobe and Craftsman hand-held gas leaf blowers died within hours of eachother (of coarse right as I'm starting to get the leaves up), have been nursing them both for a long time and I just want to get a new one. My back's not the greatest anymore so I want a hand-held gas powered (not...
