Well... for a 1710, you have the CB65. I know the teeth are bolt-on and I don't know if that changes the dimensions of the bucket at that juncture. In my case, grabbing the teeth snugly is the strength of the attachment, as it uses the structure and strength of the teeth as its own. I will...

Not surprised if you run fuel with ethanol there would eventually be a carb problem. Agreed with those citing the spark screen as another potential cause. I run a bit more oil in the mix than most and I have had a spark screen get plugged. But even though I run only non-ethanol 91 fuel in all...

Depends is not just a popular brand of adult diaper. What is the surface of the drive? Asphalt, gravel, dirt? The grade? Flat, sloping? Tires? Chains? Type of snow and average temperature? I have R4's with a sloping gravel drive. We get plenty of mostly powder snow, outside the very start and...

Yeah, they are targeting a demographic with a deep love for their tractors and money to burn. They turned me against Kubota. If there is this much room for "mods" there is lots of room for improvement on the Kubota. I went with a Massey and need almost no mods. That said, a step of some custom...

Yikes! I have only been welding - flux core - for about a year. Only a handful of projects, and my welds are already better than that. Although I've had a few (or more) that looked like this, I would never ask someone to pay for something as unacceptable as this. Best suggestion: Get it fixed...

Couple of things: to the OP, there is a fellow who makes all kinds of mods for the Kubota line of tractors. He has a step for that model I think. Here's the link: https://www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/bx-ez-on-step Someone above mentioned using their steering wheel as a grab handle. Don't...

For the weights I work with, the straps have been working fine. Any more than a couple hundred pounds, I would move to chains.

I have the Titan set (1500 lb) and only lift that 200-400 lb range. I love mine for their utility and quick mounting. The riser tubes at the bucket end of the forks are crucial to proper usage. Whether with square steel tube or just timber, when risers are used and secured (I use ratchet...

Earlier link/download was a different document, and did not have the 09/10 paint colour listing anywhere I could find. Thanks.

Downloaded to find my GC2410 is not listed. There is the GC2310, but not the frame color, which is the one I want...

No idea if anyone mentioned this (tl;dr), but those who move manufactured homes and site offices use dollies. Depending on the weight, that could be anything from tandem singles to HD tri-duallies. The dolly gets bolted to the frame and a hitch gets bolted to one end and away they go. OK...

Did someone say something about "grading?" Box-blade Friday. Looks like Saturday too..

Ah yes.. looks like you may have forgotten to harden the edge of that 1x4. ;) Hey, not only did this thing do a decent job of the ditches - especially as I was working out scooping technique in the process - but I was just extending some utility lines the other day, sewer and water, and the...

In terms of hours per year, I suppose it depends on what projects need doing, multiplied by the fraction of time you have available to operate the machine. I bought a 10 year old machine, used on a small lot by an older gentleman, with a total of 400 hours. I've owned it now 3 years and added...

Remember to thank Dad for the help, and remind him that "we'll call you" when/if more help is needed. I'm surprised it ran at all. Two different methods of ignition. Must have been a gas/diesel mix.
