Hi guys and Merry Christmas. I have a question on JB Weld. I've never used it before, and according to the directions it says mix equal amounts together. What happens if your heavy on one or the other? Won't harden? Poor bond?

Is there any oil you can substitute for Hyd. jack oil or is it use specific?

The kind I'm referring to is the saw type. Does size matter? I see them listed as 8", 9" and 10". I know they have to be rated to at least 10,000 rpm, but if they clear the guard does size matter? The Stihl owners manual does not say anything about that.

I just picked up one of these and believe it was made in late 70's to early 80's. All the information on Stihl site refers to newer units. My question is, mine came with saw blade cutter and Stihl refers to a "limit stop" when using this. I cannot get a good look/idea of what a limit stop is...

My McAfee subscription is running out in 8 days, and I've been thinking of just using Defender as my anti virus/fire wall program. I've really not heard much about this AV and was wondering if any of you folks use/have used it and your opinion of it.

As careful as I am, I finally forgot to release the frikin brake before clearing my drive. Ran about an hour before I discovered it. .... da** ! I just had the tranny fluid changed this fall too. I wish Kubota would have put an idiot light on dash to let you know when the brake was on. I...

My buddy was telling me today his new to him JD tractor ( small similar to a BX I guess, never seen it) with hyd lift on snowblower would not raise only push down. I said he has the hoses reversed, and he said no, worked fine till the really cold weather hit us. JD dealer pretty much echoed my...

My buddy with a Deere said he has to check transmission level cold, says so in the manual. I got curious and checked my book and all it said was "check it on a level surface with engine off". No mention about hot or cold that I could find. Whats your thoughts on this?

I think I already know the answer before I ask, but will ask anyway to confirm my suspicions. Tractor lives in a heated garage in the winter (55deg) Without water in fuel, algae cannot/will not form ....correct? I always use a Mr Funnel when filling my tractor, so I should be water free in...

Good morning fellas, I've been hooked on using Garmin GPS's for a couple years now. I have one mounted in the boat (GPSMap 531), which is invaluable when fishing Canada's Lake of the Woods. I also have a hand held portable (GPSMap 78) which I use when elk or moose hunting along with my compass...

How do you turn off those pictures that keep coming when you boot up that asks if you like or dislike them?? I can't find the switch!

Got a question: Mantis says to use lithium base 0 grease in gear box. Everyplace I've tried around here gets this puzzled look on their face like "what"??? . What I've found on line is pricey for the couple tablespoons that I need. Would this John Deer corn head grease be similar?

Boy, those must be pretty flimsy. I rarely use mine on my BX2230 but occasionally when blowing snow I'll engage it. Well the last couple times I went to use it I noticed it wouldn't "hook up" and I just figured it was because of the big snow boots I was wearing and not being able to push it down...

I'm gonna get a new roof this spring and was wondering what the consensus was on the best/most efficient ridge vents to request? Our house is fairly new, 13 yr old, and has them. No idea what brand or where they came from. You always get to pick the shingles and sometimes underlayment but ridge...

For some unknown reason my machine now displays yahoo search as the home page instead on msn. Something loaded it during the day when machine was idle. No matter what I've tried or done, it reverts back to yahoo. My internet options even list msn as home page but this d### yahoo overpowers it...

We live in a 10ac wooded area and seeing an occasional bear is not uncommon. But last nite a mom & 3 cubs were checking out the back yard. I think it's the same family that were around last year. We don't have pets or leave garbage out to attract them. so no big deal We moved to where they live...

This question is for the more mature generation on here. When we were kids, I remember all the gas/fuel trucks, large & small, had a strap or chain dragging on the road underneath them. We were told at that time that those straps & chains kept the static electricity from building up and causing...

I have a 2 year old Generac 20kw installed and running on NG that has not started for scheduled weekly exercise 2 out of the last 4 weeks. It cranks over but will not fire up. It turns, just won't catch. Try's for 5 times before it cancels out the exercise. Now before you start running Generac...

I was getting my snow blower ready to be mounted on my tractor. So I get the grease gun to grease the auger shaft and had an "Oh crap" moment. The zerk was stuck in the grease nozzle not screwed into the auger after I greased it. Tried to screw it back in...no go...stripped! Rats! So I kicked...

I've come upon a problem w/my canoe and not sure the best way to approach it. It's aluminum and has a small corroded hole in the transom where you mount the small motor. It's right above waterline and normally not a big deal to fix. The problem is the motor clamps cover the hole so the repair...

Do any of you guys switch tires from one side to the other? I was just curious if there was any advantage to doing that.

This may seem like a "no brainier' to some of you but it's got me thinking. A friend of mine gave me two old but new oil filters that fit my Mountaineer. One of them AC Delco, has surface rust on the flange inside the seal area where the 6 holes and threaded center hole is. Not real bad but...

Is anyone else experiencing a problem with these caterpillars this year. You know, the kind that have webs in the branches of trees and proceed to eat all the leaves off the tree, especially fruit type trees. I've got a running battle going on w/them this year. I've taken nests out of my apple...

I know there has been a thread running for over a year on this subject, but I thought I'd start a fresh one. 1st Hummer showed up today,...... a Girl:)

I finally got the BX2230 out today and pulled the snow blower. But before it came off I run it a little to warm the gearbox oil before I drained and refilled it. No sign of moisture in the oil and just a small "scum" of silver? on the oil. I don't know what you guys use, but I use Marine lower...

I just ran across this attachment last nite. It looks pretty interesting for certain applications. Anyone here have any experience with one? Johnny Bucket Sr for Kubota BX

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find out who makes the engine for the Generac 20kw whole house unit. It's a OHV v-twin that Generac has branded w/their name. I know at one time they used engines from B&S and maybe still, do but I can't nail that down. Anyone know who or a link that sorts...

Do you miss the old days when buying a vehicle the first thing you did was ask "What engine does it have"? Ahh, 327, 350, 383, 409,and so on. If your like me, that being "old school", when you look at today's cars & trucks they list what was formally cubic inches in liters now for engines. Just...

MADISON (WKOW) -- Gov. Scott Walker is calling the 30-foot tall tree decorated in Wisconsin's Capitol Rotunda a Christmas tree, not a holiday tree. It was called a Christmas tree when it was first displayed in 1916, but it got a more generic name in 1985 after some found it offensive. The...

Can any of you master electricians tell me how many amps 6 AWG TW 600v UC Pump cable SX-PA can carry. I'm having a 20kw gen set installed and wanted to use this wire since I have 50 feet of it. The electrician tells me I can't, because it's 50 amp wire and he's installing a 100 amp service and...

A while back there was a discussion on one of the BX models about the front axle pivot having /not having a grease zerk. Well I just pulled the deck off my 2230 today and looked all over he front and in the owner manual, and cannot see any dang zerk. There is non right?:confused:

I have a question that's been bugging for a while. I have 05 with the Z-71 off road package which includes skid plates. They protect the engine and transmission but NOT the gas tank? Any ideas why. All the SUV's we have or had cover all 3. Can't get a good answer. Any help here?

Has anyone figured out how to pin the favorites bar on to left side of screen like it was in all the other versions? I can move it there but it won't stay.:confused:

This is not easy to look at.. Read the write up and notice people running for their lives near the end. This is most incredible footage I have seen! Watch it in full screen mode. Worth watching. If this doesn't convince you of the awesome power of a tsunami, nothing else will! Dramatic...

How many of you guys/gals have fire extinguishers in your home, garage or vehicle? We've had two homes in our area burn to the ground that could have been saved if the owners had a fire extinguisher available. I have several in my garage/shop and home. It's split between CO2 and dry chemical...

I just finished changing my BX 2750 snow blower over to my MMM. By accident I found that the two set screws in the gear sprocket on the blower shaft were, 1 missing and 1 loose. Being hidden behind the guard I never paid any attention to those set screws. I will now. I found one of the smaller...

My BX 2230 has developed a fuel leak from tank on left side ( sitting on machine.) This just started in the last week. Nothing big, but a wet spot about the size of dinner plate on floor. I did find hose clamp needed to be repositioned on left rear, but it seemed like the problem was coming...

I sent my 4 deck wheels to Larry's Mower Deck Axle Co. to get modified w/bushings and grease zerk. Got them back today, beautiful job and less than 10 days out and back. This is the 2nd time I've dealt w/Larry. The first was buying his mower deck stands, which buy the way, are great also. If any...

Has anyone downloaded IE9 yet? I'm looking for feedback on how it's different (good or bad) than IE8 ?

If you have never used one of these, and need to use a screw gun, you don't know what your missing. I have the DeWALT w/extension so you don't have to be on your knees to drive screws in sub floor or deck. Comparing one of these to a regular screw shooter is like comparing a machine gun to a...

I've always thought my BX2230 was running cool and today after blowing snow for about 1 hour I finally checked it. The laser temp gun read 174 deg on engine and 145 on top of radiator. Being this is my first diesel that seems cool. Whats your thoughts on this?

Had an interesting problem yesterday. The (8) 8-18 screws on the pump cover under the lower spray arm on my Kitchen aid dishwasher that provides pressure to the upper & lower spray arms came loose. That in turn blew the seal out and sent water under the door onto my hard wood floor. Of course...

What is the trick to removing the plastic drive line guards on the quick hitch drive shaft so I can grease the U-joint? I can get at the grease zerk on the snow blower end easy, it's the other end on the quick hitch that's got me stumped. With it on I can't get at the grease zerk. :confused:

I just went and got some #1 diesel for my tractor. Can anyone tell me the difference between #1 and #2 winter blend other than #1 is $ .25 cents a gal. more? The attendant at the station did not know and neither do I.

I've just been reading about a fellow asking for advice on replacing shocks on his 2002 GMC truck and it got me thinking. What are the signs that tell you it's time to replace them? I have a '05 Z-71 Chevy w/60k and had been thinking about getting new shocks. I don't know if I need them but...

How does one go about lubricating the fan shaft? No mention of it in the owner manual. I have to believe it needs something from time to time:confused:

I have a question for you Deere guys. My friend just got a new X720 and was telling me the book says to engage the PTO when engine is at full rpm. Boy, that sounds like a real jolt to everything and tough on clutch pack. Darn near like dropping the clutch at drag strip. Is this common w/JD or...

I mounted my BX2750 blower today. First time doing it and it took a while. Anyway, I fired it up and engaged it to make sure all was well. I have this side to side sway/shake when it running. Don't know if this is normal or not? What are your thoughts.

Got this from a friend.... FYI T Hi all This is to all of you that use the XP operating system. IE-9 is in beta right now and will be out soon BUT if you use anything actually other then Windows 7 it WONT WORK. You have to stay with IE-8. I downloaded IE-9 and a few others I know did too...

This is my first diesel ( Feb ) and I'm still learning about them. My question for you guys is, do you pre-heat the glow plugs every time or just when it's cold out. I've been doing it every time not knowing any better. I know in cold temps it's a must but wondering about warm (summer) temps...

I'm in the market this fall for new tires on my '05 Z-71 off road Silverado (265-70R17) . Looking at the different tire manufactures offerings gets pretty mind boggling. Soooo much to choose from. Since I'm up here in N WI and have to deal w/snow in winter I need a good all around tread...

A good friend of mine is zeroing in on this machine with deck & snow blower (all new). Does anyone here have any thoughts --good or bad-- that I can pass on before he writes a check. Thanks

I've got a couple bottles of ATF and no use for them. Somewhere on here I read that mixing it w/fuel was a good thing. If that it a true story, what would the ratio be per 5 gal in my BX. I'm want to use it up.

Is the RCK60B-22BX and the RCK60B-23BX mower decks mechanically identical?? It seems that some of the covers may be different but I'm more interested in the mechanics of them.

After following Czbilly's saga about loose pulleys, how many of you release the tension on your mower deck belt over the winter as recommended???

Well I've spent about 10 hours on my '04 (new to me in Feb) and am beginning to dislike the seat. Seems to have a slight forward cant and I'm sliding around on it. Had to wear the seat belt which I don't like, to stay on it on slight slopes. I'll either have to get some butt stick-em or a new...

I don't know if any of you would bother to do this with all the treated lumber now days. When I'm putting a post or whatever into the ground, I'll first spray the below ground portion with rubberized undercoating you get at WalMart etc. I've had some in the ground over 20 years (bird house...

Has anyone drilled & taped into the ROPS bar to mount anything? I'm thinking doing just that on the inside lower right on my BX2230 to mount a 2 1/2# fire extinguisher. Your thoughts:)

I just finished cleaning, changing blades and PM'ing my RCK 60B MMM. My question is I've not been able to determine if the 3 blades have a specific orientation to each other or not??? My old Case 446 deck specified an orientation but not this one that I can see. Is there a right or wrong way to...

If anyone is looking for a great way to store your MMM deck or just do some maintainence on it off the machine, you need to look at a set of mower deck axels from Mower Deck Axel Co. I just had a pair delivered today for my Kubota RCK 60 deck and they are nice. They are first class all the way...

Hi guys, just joined today. I traded my '84 Case/Ingersoll 446 for a '04 BX2230, was doing some surfing and came accross this forum. Lots of good information here. Not sure I'll be able to add anything, but I'll be doing a lot of reading and probably a question from time to time. Terry
