    Temp gauge

    I'm gonna take a stab and this and say it might be located near or on the intake manifold. That's where it is on my BX and on every car I've worked on had it there too.

    Yikes! You could probably go to a carnival and charge people for rides on that..... :)

    Bolt on tooth bar installation question

    I tried that method but the scarifiers got clogged up with clumps of turf and only made it about four to five feet before the scarifiers quit digging in. At the rate I was going, including dumping all of the turf clods, I felt that a tiller would do a better job in a shorter amount of time.

    Bolt on tooth bar installation question

    Yes, it does have four scarifiers and I've used it to initially grade/level the gravel driveway. I've also fiddled around with the top link to change it's angle. As little digging in the dirt that I do, the box blade's weight has been plenty.

    Bolt on tooth bar installation question

    I did get a box blade as a matter of fact. Thanks for asking. I bought it from one of this site's sponsors. So far, I've used it to redress the gravel driveway, spread new gravel on it, clear a path in the snow from my front door to my truck and remove about 4" of dirt from a small area I use to...

    Bolt on tooth bar installation question

    Prior to buying a tooth bar for my tractor, I did a bit of research and one of the things that I noticed was that regardless of who made the tooth bar, they were all installed in the same manner. The mounting bolts pass from the outside of the bucket to the inside and then the nut is threaded...

    ag battery

    AGM batteries can be used and stored on their sides without any leaks and they're maintenance free unless you want to keep it on a battery tender to keep it's charge status up.

    Failed attempt to smooth property, how to correct?

    I have a suspicion that your lawn is in similar condition as a gravel driveway with potholes. To correct the uneven surface and to minimize the chances of it reverting to a bumpy surface, treat your lawn like you would your driveway. You will have to scrape the high spots in your lawn at least...

    Kioti just stopped...

    I'm assuming (uh-oh) that your fuel cap is vented. Is it possible that the venting isn't working correctly creating a vacuum in the fuel tank?

    How to catch 11 gallons of oil?

    Could you find a valve that is threaded to fit the drain plug hole, put a nipple on the other end of the valve and attach a hose to the nipple? Your drain bucket won't need to be under the tractor by using the hose to a remote receptacle. Close the valve and remove the hose when it's done draining.

    Hydraulic il Dissolver

    I've used clay based kitty litter before with fairly good results. The trick is to attend to the stains as soon as they appear. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get them out. Spread out some kitty litter and grind it into to concrete surface with your boots. That allows it to get into...

    Backhoe BXPanded.... are the alive?

    I've been looking at a lot of things they offer for about a month and in addition to what MXD posted, this message has been on every item I've checked on. Maybe a total of five different items. So it looks like it's going to be a bit before they ship your item although it would be nice to have...

    Hitch Pin

    I think you might be referring to these, called linchpins. I use them wherever I can and replace the hitch pins with them.

    Is my tractor big enough?

    I just recently bought a used Kubota 1850 mainly for cutting grass on my 3 acres. It has a FEL and plan on using that for a few odd jobs too. I'm considering getting a box blade for leveling a few grassy areas and to level and "refresh" my gravel driveway which is about 60 yds. long. The box...
