    how to mount a tactical shotgun

    Okay, I'm just not a big fan of using a tactical shotgun for snakes or any other gun. If the OP wants to get a gun, I still say get something like a Judge which will be 100% legal to carry on your property. This is also coming from having looked at images and specs for the Op's tractor. There...

    Water Hose Storage

    Hey gang, one thing that I have been searching for high and low but haven't found anything that isn't way too expensive or isn't a giant piece of crap, is a water hose cart. I'm interested in a cart or even just a good storage idea that I can mount on a cart. I've found some diy ones but they...

    Front PTO needed on SCUT?

    Quick question...Any reason to get a front PTO kit for a SCUT in a location that sees little to no snow and where I have no need for a sweeper? The reason I'm asking is that as the older my SCUT gets the more I see the cost of the parts rise. Right now I'm looking at a 30-50% premium being...

    Both stabilizer cylinders took a dump on me :(

    Well, as usual my luck isn't so great. I pulled the JD 260 backhoe (not B version) off the tractor a few days ago so I could pull some trailers around and looks like both stabilizer cylinders decided to start leaking their contents all over the garage floor. Of course since it is me they both...

    What would you do?

    Okay, I have a dilemma. I have a 2009 JD 2305 that only has 38 hours on it (sat for years due to a very sick child). It has been garage kept and is in excellent condition. I'll start off by saying I love her (don't tell the wife :D) but I can't get the weak rear PTO out of my mind. I know that...

    2305 Alternator Conversion

    Got a quick question, I'm adding some electrical items to my 2305 and I know I'm going to exceed the factory 20 amp stator. I was looking into the 35 amp upgrade kit but at a whopping $539.00 :eek: I'll pass. I'm thinking about just taking the time to convert it over to a true 40 amp alternator...

    Same R3's or something new?

    Okay, I hate to admit it but I can't make a freaking decision. I just don't have experience using any other tires so I kind of wanted to pitch this out there and see what people think. I have JD 2305 that I bought 9 years ago and the tires need to be replaced. I bought it with R3 tires because I...

    2305 governor linkage question

    Hey all, I need some help and I'm hoping this is the place to get it. First, I'd like to start off by saying I have really basic mechanic skills. By basic I mean I can follow service manuals and that is about it. My 2305 sat parked for a long time due to a sick child and back injury. When I...
