OK, my old bones and muscles (never anything to brag about) are proving inadequate to the task of starting this saw (after less than eighty years of use (me, not the five year old saw). I couldn't get it started last year and brought it it to have someone 'go over it' only to watch the fella...
I've a Kubota B7800 and never owned or operated any other tractor.
In maneuvering the tractor recently to disassemble and (later) reassemble my Dirty Hands Brand Log Splitter (lifting of the heavy cylinder (w/o detaching the hydraulic hoses), then lifting off the I-Beam Splitter Post(?) and...
OK, the reason Dirty Hands Brand is no longer literally 'popped up' this morning when the entire weld (24 =/- inches) let go all at once. Based upon the condition of the parts the weld was never done properly and there was no evidence of PENETRATION along the length of the break!
So, I have to...
OK, I'm real novice when it comes to these systems Never taken one apart, replaced a hose, etc. I have added Hydraulic Fluid to the HF Tank. I keep the thing indoors unless I am splitting wood. I have had it for four years? Maybe a couple more.
I noticed a wet spot on the basement floor...
Boosted the battery and jump started the tractor ran it for an hour or so dragging large logs from the bottom to higher ground where I turn them into firewood.
Put the tractor away and went out today to start it and it would not start.
Before I run out and buy a battery, I'd like to know how...

I've a 4' Yellow 'bush hog' type (Maybe Tractor Supply) and never (10 yeas in +/-) even looked at the blades much less sharpened them. My excuse is they are hard to see . . .
How does one get a look at them?
How often do folks replace them? Or sharpen them?
How would I go about sharpening...
When I store my Kubota B7800 in teh shed, I raise teh FEL to clear the Bush Hog attachment so that I can get teh entire tractor under cover. I also raise teh 3Pt so as not to drag that attachment (plow, box blade, etc) as I put her away.

Looking to cut some weeds small brush large grass and thought of weed whacker but wondered if they were up to such, relatively, 'heavy' work. I have a gas-powered GREEN MACHINE by John Deere 'weed whacker/string trimmer' Model 2600 (Mfg. Mitshubisi Heavy Equipment) 26.6 cc Displacement engine...
For a number of years, I've been soaking roofing shingles in diesel fuel and using it to treat posts I bury in the ground.
Now, I've taken to saving the black stuff that forms inside my steel fireplace box and adding it and some ash to the mix. Wondered - "Is this Creosote I'm making?"
