So, I got a "new" truck... (picture below so as to not interrupt the post) I had a truck, but at 20 years old, i wasn't too worried about "preventative" maintenance. Anyway, the point is, i have a lot of stuff with engines (2 atvs, generator, tractor, 2 trucks, 2 cars, and some non-motorized...

So my brother has a B7100, and he's trying to put in a block heater. Dealer sold him one, but the adapter is too large for the freeze plug hole. Current thought is to machine down the in-hand adapter to fit the hole. Assuming a .001 to .0015 press fit, but does anyone know the dimensions of the...

So I have a 2012 L3940. I've had it for a bit more than a year and a half. It starts (hot, cold, whenever) after 2 "cranks" (assuming it's a complete revolution of the starter). Suddenly, a few weeks ago, it would take 4 "cranks". This weekend it was even more (10 maybe, I dunno). I get a big...

So in this thread (http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/305952-flat-face-hyd-coupling-pressure-3.html#post4108995) we were discussing how QD fittings can be hard/impossible to re-attach after some amount of time. Temperature changes, settling, etc. can cause pressure to be behind...

Does anyone use/have communication on their ATV helmets? Basically, I'm looking for a helmet mounted walkie talkie. What I'm finding is more complicated (and more expensive) than I need. I don't need multi-function bluetooth, etc. Just a voice activated walkie talkie that has a couple...

So I've been pondering a diverter vs. 3rd function and how to mount it. At first, I was 3rd function all the way. At $900 from Kubota, it's pretty steep. A diverter valve (like JJ has suggested) at $150 sounds pretty good. Add some hoses, misc. wiring. Maybe $300 or $350 out the door. In...

Not sure what other forum to put this in...... So, due to a series of unfortunate events, some (good) clothes got soaked in log splitter (ISO 46, maybe?) oil. It's been shouted and washed. Looked good. Washed again with the normal load, dryed, and the "looked good" was wrong. So I have some...

So, about 3 weeks ago my wife found a LandPride GS1572 on CL in Wisconsin....about 8 hours away. As it so happens, my parents were going up to grandma's farm (about 45 minutes away from the Wisconsin location) a couple weeks later. As it so happens, they were already taking the truck so they...

Hi all, My search came up pretty dry, so here we go. My dealer has the cheapest price around for a set of pallet forks. I've heard bad things about some brands, so I thought I'd ask.... They are Walco, and $540 (plus tax) for a set with 42" tines. Good? Bad? Ugly? The *seem* as good as...

Has anyone ever converted a Land Pride RB0548 to be QH compatible? I know the options with Pat's and similar aids, but wonder what thoughts are about making this little blade (it's my brother's) truly QH compatible for his B7100. The PO got it, instead of the RB15 series.. =( Seems like a...

I'm hoping santa will bring me a set of tire chains this year. They're pretty spendy, naturally. I put the V-bar ladder on my list, cause it is what my dad got. The non-v-bar (but still ladder) is $100 cheaper for the rears alone. Naturally the fronts are a bit cheaper too. So, for a set...

Hey! Recently my dad got a second tractor for grandma's house. It is an Kubota L305DT. Anyway, it has a Westendorf TA111 loader with quick change. He is looking for a set of forks for it. Any thoughts? If I can find an adapter plate, I am going to try to get him to weld it to his existing...

So my dad would really like a 3rd function on his tractor, but the $600+ ($1,000 even) is hard-ish to justify. Though one guy sells them on ebay for $485, and maybe that's a great price. I've always thought a roll-your-own would be doable, it is just a hydraulic solenoid afterall. I feel like...

So, I really want a LPGS (Land Plane, Grader, a million other names that makes it hard to find on CraigsList). I'll probably buy one (Land Pride or Grademaster), but thought I'd design one up just for fun. I'm an engineer, so I figured I'd model it up and make a drawing and send it to a...
