I thought I'd post this video my wife took of us setting some trusses over a couple shipping containers. My idea is to extend these trusses to the far end of the containers to completely cover them. The crane was made with receiver stock (2" x 2" x 10'). with two 3" x 3" x 3' pieces of steel...

I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this in a new tractor. My Brother-in-law purchased a new B2920 from a local dealer a couple years ago. It was a B2920 with a backhoe (kubota), and a grapple attachment they installed. Yesterday I stopped by to help him detach the backhoe for the first...

I'm considering selling my L245DT Kubota. It has about 1600 hrs on it. No oil leaks, nor burning oil. A couple of years ago I replace the hydraulic control valve with a new Prince 3 port assembly so I could run a small grapple on the bucket. So, I may be selling it with the loader, small...

I recently discovered a crack in the rear axle cover on my L245DT. I had been losing some oil, and thought it was a seal. Upon taking the cover off I discovered a plate that had been welded in, it looked like it was there to beef up the cover. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this, is it...

I have a hydraulic pump which is driven off my PTO shaft to power my backhoe. I seem to have a recurring problem with the 3/4" shaft going into the PTO adaptor from the pump. It keeps loosening up, causing the pump to fall away from the PTO shaft. The two are held together with a keeper shaft...

I recently got my Northern 12,000 watt generator hooked up and running using my L245Dt Kubota has a power source. It may be just a little underpowered to get the maximum wattage from it, however I doubt if I'll ever need all 12,000 watts. The one problem I've noticed is that when I am running it...

Update from Japan...... Following the problems in the financial sector in the US, uncertainty has now hit Japan. In the last 7 days the Origami Bank has folded, the Sumo Bank has gone belly up and the Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches. Yesterday, it was announced that the...

I'm looking for an adapter to extend a pto drive that is used on a bush hog with a 1 3/8" round shaft. What I'm trying to do is use the same PTO drive for a PTO generator which requires a 1 3/8" six spline hookup. Since the generator may only be used for a few hours each year I thought I could...

Has anyone here ever built a hydraulic side link for their 3-point adjustment? If so, how did you weld the ends on a cylinder? Is a check valve neccessary to keep it from drifting? I realize I can purchase one from Carter & Carter for about $250, which may be the way to go in the end. The...

The price of diesel here in Washington state is currently about $3.85 a gallon. There's a lot of complaining going on concerning these prices and everyone is pointing the finger at everyone else to explain these costs. It got me to think a little about inflation. I compared these costs to what...

After putting about 20 hours (2 years) on my sears trimmer with a B & S (Briggs & Stratton) 4-stroke fource engine I lost all compression on it. I've not had any luck with the local B & S repair shop or for that matter B & S itself. Their answer to the problem is that the ONLY repair possible is...
