Hello all. Pls help. I have a BX1830 with around 600 hours on her and have the wandering steering problem. So, I bought the cylinder rebuild kit from Messicks. I have the cylinder off of the tractor and on the workbench. However, I can't get it disassembled. I have tried putting a...

I need some help. I have a Cherry tree who's main trunk is about 20-24" in diameter. During the last ice storm that came through the area, I lost about a 10" main branch. This branch was responsible for the center 1/3 of the leaf coverage of the entire tree. There are tiny buds starting...

I've been thinking about putting different wheels on my BX1830 54" MMM. I understand that the deck is designed as a floating deck, so that the wheels aren't supposed to be in constant contact with the ground. However, my yard is anything but smooth. The factory wheels take a real beating...

It's kind of linked to tractor'ing, as I'll be using the tractor to do it. We have 3 inside cats. Boy - we sure go through litter. It seems a shame to keep tossing it into the landfill. Does anyone till it into the soil? I have no idea what it's made out of, so I wouldn't begin to...

I'm posting this thread for a friend of mine who is looking into getting a toothbar. My first thought was Markham. However, I'm re-thinking them. Without getting into a pro/con of Gator Attachments (Seriously - I know people have had both good and bad with their stuff), what other brand would...

We have a JD4410, with a front, PTO (from the mid) 59" blower. When the blower is lowered, below grade, the rear fitting on the lift cylinder hits the blower frame and breaks off. I'm sure we aren't the first people to have this problem. I also can't believe that JD has such a design...

Just wanted to post what I discovered tonight. I had some steel that I needed to remove some Herculiner (roll on bedliner), that I sprayed on. I had it on pretty thick. Originally, I grabbed my sanding, flapper disk for my 4 1/2" angle grinder. Quickly moved to my 7" flapper disk. Even...

Finally started a new thread for my small Gantry project. I've been thread-jacking someone else's barn gantry-crane thread. Picked up most of the steel, and ordered the wheels today. No pics. Hopefully I'll get some this weekend. Purchased scrap steel for $0.30 per lb from my local steel...

I want to get a camera to help in backing up to hook up the trailer. I've seen the license plate style. They look pretty simple. But - like anything, I'm sure there are junk ones and good ones. Who has any experience with them?

I've been using standard scraper blades for close to 30 years now. Even resorted to putting suitcase weights on them from time to time to assist in "cutting in". Now - I've known that a BB would be a big difference in usability, but I wouldn't have thought it was this much! Last week, I...

Just a quick thread about how invaluable my forks have been. A year ago, I took a non-working forklift hand-truck (the kind with a little bottle jack inside) and turned it into a pair of 3pt forks. Since I have an adapter to use 3pt attachments instead of a bucket, it also fits on the...

Purchased my 1830 1 year ago. It had low hours and was dealer serviced (Original owner didn't do any of his own maintenance). Other than a dent in the hood, it's only problems were a few electrical problems. I had problems with the headlight not working - fixed that by replacing the...

I'm posting this here, because I bet I'm not the only one who's been around too many tractors, machine shops & guns without hearing protection while growing up. Has anyone had any success in treating their tinnitus?

Please pardon my ignorance on plowing, etc. I have inherited this plow. however, it does not fit my SCUT (18 hp 4x4 Kubota). I believe the kubota will pull it, but the plow is too tall. I do a fair amount of welding (although, I'm not pro). My problem is, I'm not sure if I want to go...

I'm wondering if my new to me 1830 has a governor. The reason why I ask, is this. This is my first hydrostat Kubota (had a JD 318 garden tractor before), and stick MF & Yanmars. When driving around my property, going from point A to point B, I don't have the throttle very high. When I get to...

I've been on TBN for a couple years. Previously, I was on the Yanmar side of the house. But, as of yesterday I now own a Kubota 1830 with ~200 hours. It came with a 54" MMM and an (unused) woods scraper blade. I had the plow in the picture mounted on my other tractor. I have laying there...

I'm a Moron.. clicked on the wrong brand tractor... Please delete this thread!

I'm looking for a SCUT, or CUT - less than 25 hp with Power steering, MMM and FEL, preferrably HST for under $7500. Found this one on Fleebay Kubota B7200HST 17hp 4wd w/ 60" mower & LA272 loader - eBay (item 130252613421 end time Feb-01-09 11:41:32 PST) However, they say that it is a 1994...

Please pardon the dumb questions. I'm new to gardening. My wife & I plan on starting a garden in the spring of 2010 (although, there is a chance to start it this spring ('09)). We have the finest clay for top soil, then shale under that, there is. :( The local landfill sells compost by the...

This forum gives me entirely too many ideas. One of those ideas, was to start storing my firewood on skids (still building those). To move those skids/pallets, meant I had an excuse for some forks for my tractor :) Because my tractor is only a 19hp, I wanted to make my forks for the 3pt. I...

Unfortunately, the PTO seal on my F16d went bad very quickly, loosing much of my trans fluid. By the time I noticed what was going on (mowing), the trans fluid was to the bottom of the dipstick. Now, I not only need a PTO seal, but also the bearings. How big of a job is this going to be...

I did a search, but didn't find what I was looking for. Hopefully this isn't a re-post.... The oil level in my F16D keeps getting higher (significantly). Back in my days of working on carb'd trucks, this meant the diaphram went bad on the fuel pump. Is that the case on my Yanny? If so...

We can't seem to be able to control our Stink Bug population. I've lived in MD all my life and only within the past 1-2 years we have had this problem. Everytime there is a warm day, they seem to flock into our house. With Spring around the corner, I want to start doing something to prevent...

I know this sounds like a very stupid question. But, for some reason, I just cannot find a drain plug on my F16d for the hydraulic/transmission fluid. Also, I'd like to clear the pickup screen while I'm at it. Does anyone happen to know how to do that? I suspect, it may be a simple as...

Does anyone know how to convert cc/rev to GPM? The hydraulic pump on my Yannie has 5 cc/rev (I think it says rev anyway) stamped on it. I'd like to know how much GPM I have. If I knew if that rev meant engine rev, then I'd be able to aproximate the flow. But, if it's based on pump rev, then...

Has anyone swapped out their hydraulic pump for a higher output hydraulic pump? After adding my FEL & Power Steering, it appears that I could use a bit more flow. There doesn't seem to be enough room to add a belt mtd pump. I'm don't want to add a crank pump because I hope to run my MMM...

Here's the start of my project to add a Koyker 80 FEL and Power Steering to my Yanmar F16d. The Koyker 80 doesn't have a mounting kit for my F16, so I'll be making my own. While I'm doing that, I'm also adding power steering. Again, no kit was available. However, I can't say enough about the...

Sorry for the dumb questions... I have a bunch these days :) What is the difference between a "Priority Valve" vs. a "Power Beyond" port? I'm putting both a FEL & Power Steering on my Yanny. The person where I'm getting my PS parts from says I need a Priority Valve to "split" the circuit...

Sorry for my complete ignorance. I'm still learning a lot about the hydraulics on this Yanmar F16d. I will be mounting a loader and adding power steering within the next couple of weeks. I know that many of the loader installers just have you cut the main hard-line, using compresison fittings...

I have mentioned this in a couple other treads, I'm looking for a loader, but since I'm finally ready to pull the trigger, I'm not going to threadjack anyone else's thread :) As it stands, from the research I've done, it looks like my choices are limited to the Koyker 120. I haven't come...

I picked up an F16d in July and am finally ready to start putting some features on it. Amongst others, there will be a FEL & power steering hopefully in the near future. I think I'm going to do the power steering first, then the FEL 2nd. Been lurking for a while on this board (wow, there...

Does anyone where I can find a Front PTO kit for my Yanmar f16d & about how much it would cost? I assume that it's a 1:1 RPM. I have a Woods MMM which runs off of the rear PTO I'm hoping I can adapt to run from the front. Would I have to do some re-gearing to get this to work? If I can find...

I have a new to me F16d 4x4 with a Woods belly mower (rear PTO driven). Although I will be mowing with it, I really don't care much about my yard. My last tractor I used, had Ag (Bar tread) tires. I also will be using this for playing in the dirt, plowing snow, etc. Because my driveway is...
