    Power Rake build

    Hey CPNW, 1. Most if not all harley rakes I looked at only ran around 250rpms so that's why I choose that speed. After using it, 270 rpms is surprisingly fast and works just fine. 2. The chain is not in an oil bath, just lubed up real well and put a hole in the top above it to spray in the lube...

    Dash replacement

    Mine's not needing replacement yet but was always curious about one thing. Does the hour meter hours transfer over or are you starting from zero again? I also found after reading this thread 70 Series BX Dash in 60 Series? - OrangeTractorTalks - Everything Kubota that there is an updated...

    Hijacked cell phone number

    So for about the past year I've been getting these random phone calls to my cell asking for a particular person. Thinking it was just the typical spam calls I've been ignoring them. Recently I decided to google my phone number and discovered that my number is now showing up on multiple websites...

    Damaged gearbox seal surface

This time I had time to try and repair it my self so I took it apart and found this. There is a small gouge along the surface right where the lower seal...

    Snowblower skids excessive wear?

    Used the BX5455HD for the first time last week and looking at the skid shoes it looks like they are wearing excessively fast? Ran for probably only about 30-45min on concrete in float mode (in case anyone was wondering). I wish I looked at the skids when they were brand new but I'm guessing the...

    PhotoBucket now charges $399 for third-party hosted images - gHacks Tech News Apparently now they feel something they been giving/allowing for many many years is worth $400/yr. :thumbdown: No way is it worth that much but this is crap because now all my pictures are screwed up and even...

    Good morning!!!!

    :melodramatic: Hope you keep your word this time. Love how someone gets yelled at for swearing and then proceeds to do it again and wonders why they get in trouble.... Oh and out of your 700+ threads, only a hand full might have actually contributed something. The rest are you complaining...

    For Sale section

    So when's the for sale section going to get some love? There has been a lot of complaints and confusion ever since the "New" for sale section appeared. The new one is giving people problems posting and is not very user friendly to navigate around. Also, I've noticed some new postings that...

    Power Rake build

    Here is the current progress of my Power Rake that I'm building for my Kubota BX. I didn't want to start this thread right when I started as I usually get partway into a project and it ends up never getting finished but this one has come a long ways. Rake is going to be about 58 wide (roller...

    Power rake project

    I'm working on designing a Power rake (Aka Harley rake) for my Kubota BX2350 and needed some double checking on my setup. I decided to go with a hydraulic motor vs PTO gearbox. I wanted to keep the drum RPMs around ~250. I picked out a 3.15 cu in motor that with 3.7gpm I should be seeing 271...
