My faithful BX 2200 died yesterday while my son was mowing. It wants to start (turns nicely) when you turn the key to start, but as soon as the key is released, it dies. The BX is 4 years old, with 300 hours. All the scheduled maintenance was kept up to date. (Let is sit for over 24 hours, and...

Whenever I click on ‘Discussions’, I have to re-log in . (It keeps my log-in for ‘Forum Home’ – no problem there). Same results either under either Netscape or IE. Roy

Just realized, it was one year ago (04/06/2001) that Muhammad changed the forum from the old format to the new format! Remember the confusion that first night as we all logged on and groped through the new way? But, sure enough we adjusted; sure enough the new was indeed better than the old. It...

One day down the pike, I think it would be nice to be able to search the profiles. On the search pull-down, to able to select 'User Profiles', like selecting Topics. This would be a tool enabling one to look at demographics and statistics. I have often wondered things like: + What is...

My keyboard died this morning. No 's, it was a cheap one that neither I, nor the wife, really cared for. So I went out and bought one of these 'Internet Ready' keyboards (Logitech). Now I have all kinds of buttons to fast path. They have one defined as 'Go', which has an icon of a guy running...

There is something strange going on today with Netscape 4.75 and TBN. (Note: these errors are not arising with IE 5.0). Have tried two separate machines, flushed the cache: On the Discussion page, no grids (gray bars) appear. On the banner, if I click on: > “Home” it takes me to “Check Private”...

Local suburban executives abandon golf carts for mowers Washington Post April 01, 2001 Area executives are abandoning golf carts in favor of their lawn mowers. "We all had these things sitting around the house for the servants to cut the grass with, and then one day we were talking and figured...

On another thread, I had mentioned that my LA211 Snap Ring keeps disappearing. Uploaded a pix; the screwdriver is pointing to the indent which normally has the snap ring. OK… did they redesign? Anybody else loosing the ring? I do not perceive any real function (change of behavior, with or...

Observed something about my 3-pt the other day. While being raised, a force is applied (of course, no surprises there), but when lowering, no force is applied (simply limits the speed of the ascent, but does not apply any force the downward movement). My question, is this the way all tractor...

I am no longer able to turn my 3-Point Hitch Lowering Speed control knob. Won't budge at all. I noticed that the knob is currently in the 'Locked' position. The owners guide (p. 32) doesn't mention any special action required has to unlock it. Am I missing something, or do I have a mechanical...

I saw a Craftsman GT Restoration web site today that stated: "Get a chuckle as Yuppies talk about the cupholders in their Deere and Scotts tractors." There is a Kubota dealer who has this on their webpage: ""If your wife drives a Volvo, you drive a BMW, your golf clubs are Pings and you're...

Yes, I said slowing up. I have had the old HST pedal sticking problem again, all winter long. It reached the point where I was hitting the linkage with WD40, moly or lithium sprays after every use, each proving to be temporary solutions. And no, it hasn't been washed since June or July. So...

Article that I read on the plane the other week about how the travel industry for years lurked on Internet discussions, only reading the issues. Recently, the industry (hotels, in particular) decided to actively engage in comments. In the past, they were always leery about being attacked and...

Woke up this morning all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Logged on the net. Then it hit me, where are my document files? Started looking, snooping, and then I found the culprit. Visual basic files (vbs) all over the system. Two in the windows\system directory, and one entitled 'LOVE LETTER..."...

Didn't know if this one belongs in Safety or Just for Fun... Tractor Treads on Amorous Couple October 20, 2000 12:05 pm EST PRAGUE, Czech Republic (Reuters) - A peaceful meadow proved a less-than-idyllic rendezvous spot for a Czech couple who were run over by a tractor during an amorous...

Story across today's newswire, 4-year old lost leg: http://www.freep.com:80/news/metro/capac3_20001003.htm. Tractor safety can never be overstated.

Two questions out of curiosity: 1) The PTO selection lever allows for mid-PTO, rear-PTO, or simultaneous mid/rear operation. Under what circumstances would someone engage both PTO's? 2) There is an unused lever slot on the BX showing icons of hydraulic pistons (compressed and extended). Owner's...

Having been playing in the dirt for the last 6 months, I noticed that my loader is starting to rust. This is true where the abrasive materials remove the paint, in particular the cutting edge. (Is that the correct term? It is the lower edge of the bucket). Now, I noticed, when looking at used...

You don\'t know what you\'ve got till it\'s gone (My apologies to Joni Mitchell for plagiarizing her song for the title). While my Kubota is in the shop, waiting for a new and improved (hopefully leak-proof) secondary fuel tank, the rains kept on coming. That meant the grass kept on growing. I...

Muhammad; I am experiencing a new Netscape 4.7 error. There seems to be no consistency of when and where the problems arise (some post are readable, others are not), but it chugs for a minute or two “Contacting host extra.eharvest.com”, and ends up with a completely blank page. Ran IE and...

Lately, I have been mowing with the pedal-to-the-metal. While mowing at a higher rate of speed, I have noticed two things: (1) My turf is not as smooth as a thought. I bounce, and I bounce a lot (extremely uncomfortable when the bladder is full!). (2) With each bounce my seatbelt...

Something that some may find fascinating. Historical mechanical sciences reference for farm implements (generally, horse or hand powered): http://www.history.rochester.edu/appleton/a/agmac-m.html. It seems that our forefathers may have had a bit more fun, though. Note under "Implements for...

A link which was posted it on another forum, that I found interesting. A gentleman decided to do his own research on oil filters. He dismantled and studied many different filters. He was pretty extensive in his analysis, for a hobbyist. http://members.xoom.com/minimopar/oilfilterstudy.html

Muhammad - The response has been sluggish the last week or so, lots of stalling. Still having the ATT problems, or is it time to re-index the db? (Is that still necessary?... I'm getting too old to keep up ).

On the news this morning, they showed a town in Iowa which has a Tractor Dancing group… Square Dancing with tractors. To allow for the tight turns, they all use trikes (Farmalls). So now there are ten-thousand-and-one practical uses for your tractor.

Just got back from a wonderful vacation at Virginia Beach. Would like to thank Mark for keeping the weather so nice in Eastern VA . Had 1-1/2 days of rain, but there is so much to do in the area, it was no problem. They have a wonderful aquarium, which easily kept my sons occupied for 9 hours...

Every time I click on any link, I receive the Netscape 4.7 error "did not find a converter or decoder". Only happening on this site (so far). Muhammad... Has anything changed in the last 2 weeks? Any guesses on what's up? Thanks.

Got a new problem with my BX. Haven't called the dealer yet, but I am wondering if it's just mine or with the BX in general. One of my tail lights is out. So, I attempted to remove the screws on the lens cover. Turns out that 3 of the 4 screws are stripped (they turn without loosening nor...

Every time I see a wire or some sort of other connector that's not in use, I always have to wonder what option or use is that for? Per a previous discussion on adding lights to ROPS (in the old forum), I know that the unused wire under the seat is pretty much common to the Kubota's (but I don't...

One observation, now being rural for 12 years (totally citified before). When we first moved into our home, I noticed the lights would occasionally dim, electronic devices failed one after another, there were numerous power outages. Now, having researched years ago (saw a great article Popular...
