Anybody know a good online source for mower tires in Canada? Im trying to find a (cheaper) source for some Carlisle WT300's for the ZD I found a couple out of the states who are selling the Wt300's cheap enough, at round $95USD ea, but shipping to Canada is a killer and will add well over $130...

Davis changed the anemometers from a reed switch to hall effect recently (within the last couple years I think). The HE switch is much more reliable. I havent had issues with birds on mine but on this years(?) revision to the rain gauge, they added some bird spikes like you did and improved...

Anybody run Amsoil Dominator in chainsaws? I used to / usually run the factory Husky XP 50:1 but was sold some Dominator because: 1. I no longer shop at my local Husky dealer, but the Stihl dealer only has Stihl Dino oil (the synthetic isnt available in Canada) 2. I wanted to try some...

Cleaned the deck of the ZD today and got this pile of grass as a result. This is only since the first of the season (about 14h of use). Performance is much improved after a cleaning and blade sharpening. My advise, it sure wont hurt to check and clean the deck mid-season, your mower will...

Has anybody installed Carlisle AT101s on a Kubota ZD326 or equivalent? The AT101s have a great reputation and I would have done it already but they are technically the wrong size at 24x12-12 while the stock tires are supposed to be (havent confirmed on my particular machine) 26x12-12. Im...

Has anybody ever tried to use a 72" blade on a Scut? I know Ideally I wouldnt go much past 54" or 60 but... I know the BX can handle the weight of the HBL72 @ 530lbs, but would the tractor be able to pull it? Especially in an offset situation? Or would that huge blade plus the offset mean the...

After suffering with the stock hand crank rotation and get-off-the-seat deflection for a couple years, figured it was time to add some hydrulics to the BX blower. First up was tackling the deflection. Cylinder is a 1" dia, 6" stroke from PA that was on sale for $49. 1 in. Bore x 6 in...

Figured Id post up my take on adding a couple auxillary hydraulic circuits to the back of my BX. I used an existing Prince valve left over from my firewood processor. It was way overkill for the BX, with 3/4 inlet and outlet ports and 1/2 work ports. Plus it weighs a ton being cast iron. One...

How'd you like to pick up the tab for this one!:eek:

Just a couple easy little mods here to take care of some annoyances with the factory BX top link First is to add a couple grease fittings. Under the black caps, there is a hole that is used to push in a roll pin when the link was built. This hole is just about the right size for a 1/8NPT grease...

Been wanting a horn on the BX for a while. It will be handy for signaling especially considering the kids are usually around when the tractor is running. Not a particularly complicated install. It was more about finding a sutable location for the components than doing the actual work. Price...

The attachment shows what your relief/pump looks like. Section "B" is your relief. I wouldnt go rooting around in there with pliers willie nillie. There are machined surfaces in there, do not scratch in other words. You need something soft. Even a magnet will likely be enough to remove the...

Angle grinder with flap wheel to get the gouges. Finish with an "axe" file.

:D:D:D

Maybe you even stepped up and built a processor like I just did... But it pales in comparison to this build... Its in German, but the video is pretty awesome, even if you dont understand whats being said. Watch with the sound off :laughing: Its quite a machine. I can only imagine the cost, if...
