Kinda need YouTube "shorts" video of final assembly in the factory

Well I've finally entered into the modern world (tier 4 final) with my equipment. Hearing plenty of fuel related horror stories I'm wondering to what filtering efforts is necessary beyond the basic screw on type filters that I've been using forever? Of course the machine has its filters that...

I just saw this and apparently (from reading here) their hard to find new or used. Maine craigslist and here's a screenshot Just thought I'd pass this along. I've got nothing to do with it. 👍

I've got my cherished collection of non "epa - osha" 5 gallon "cans" and one has developed a little leak on the bottom. All of them are in use and as I was planning services and the funeral, a spark of hope entered my thinking. 😄 They have some stuff to repair automotive gas tanks so .... Any...

I like to warm up my M9540 especially under 20*, the colder the longer. I've always warmed up the transmission by putting the "gearbox" in neutral and moving the shuttle lever to forward or reverse. I can hear it's moving oil or something as there's a very slight change in the idling rpm's...

First off, I can't believe how many "other" things that a lift makes easier besides vehicular service and repairs. And I waited this long. I always had a contorted view that I'm not a kid anymore driving junk that I'm under weekly keeping it going, and simple oil changes and tire rotation did...

I'm at # 9 (since spring) that died from lead poisoning. I don't go out looking for them beyond our yard. Anyone not familiar with them, That's a newspaper that I put him on (taking him to the "train station") and a hard leather welding glove! It's them or my dogs so as unpleasant as it is...

I've never had a "high flow" attachment before and now that I do..... The small 3/8 quick connect (on the machine) has a flow arrow on it pointing away from the machine towards the attachment. I've always understood this to be the "case drain" and with this assumption, a drain would be into the...

Any feedback on the corrosion results? I haven't kept up with the calendar, but didn't they start with the F150 enough years ago to have an opinion? I'm skeptical but what's the owners responses.

Anyone running one or seen one working? I'm in a very rocky area and only mulching up to about 6". This unit operates almost like a disc type chipper in that your not using the ground to mulch against. The chips seem big but that's not a problem as my work is more of a thinning stems in a...

I have 2 trailer loads of concrete blocks to unload tomorrow. These are the big 2'x2'x6' "keyed" retaining wall blocks and there's 26 per load. The last time I did this we just used a chain with the forks squeezed together, it was a little funky. It's built (as usual) out of what I had on hand.

Would someone please post a picture of the "teeth" for me. I didn't have any luck at their site. I'm thinking of taking a pair of them and fashion them into a trail - branch trimmer hyd operated by either a motor or a cylinder and shuttle valve. It will be slow speed and work in a cycle bar...

I finally put in a lift 👍 Just changed my oil on my feet making me wonder why it took so long. Previously I argued (with myself) that I'm not really a wrench turner like back when I was as a kid struggling to keep whatever piece of chit I had running. Mostly just maintenance and my fluid film...

Lost a 30 year friend that I've never met this morning. He's ridden miles and miles with me along with countless hours at work. Rest in peace Rush.

I'm building a (snow) pusher box for the 3 pt. hitch. Mostly for pulling snow away from doorways & garage doors. I run a Fisher V blade on the front of the tractor that is mounted to the frame. It's sort of a cross between a regular "box blade" and a pusher, but with a twist. I started designing...

I plow a lot. I keep close to 2 mi open on my place and do about 25 driveways & lots. All but 2 are dirt. My current method is with a frame mounted Fisher "EZ-Vee" 9'6" blade. When the banks get too big to push back or I just run out of room (woods), I'll get out the blower (8' dual auger...

That's great! A lot of snowmobile & ATV clubs need to see this:thumbsup: and :welcome: I've seen a similar cutting action although much larger hung below a helicopter working power lines on ytube.

This was a simple fix to my new (used) mower. It's an 8' double spindle Bush Hog built very heavy, the trouble was for my uses mostly keeping open miles of logging trails on my land I need to be able to lift it at least as high as the tractors ground clearance, that's about 19''. I have lots of...

Anyone else have their 6.L gas Chev whistle (very loudly) during warm up? Our old trusty 2000 2500 Suburban developed this a few years ago and we have been just putting up with it. Our mechanic has heard of this issue and didn't have time during the trucks last visit to address it and said it...

Just wondering if I could find my old tractor. It had a canopy I built that I'll recognize. Last known location was in MD. :drink:

We have a new pup, he's been with us for 10 months, and just turned 1 year old. He's our 2nd Jack Russell terrier and is what I'd call a very good dog. We live on a large acreage in the woods and he is mostly under our control with no leash. As he grows (and learns) we've expanded his freedom...

I did a search (TBN) and it looks like that is not in the s/n. My tractor sat on the lot with 2 other's just like for a quite a while according to my salesman (that I had known for years) Kubota "dropped them off", and were not ordered by the dealer.:confused3: Locally the preference for that...

The weatherman say's 1'-2' with locally more for Monday into Wed. next week.:licking: He say's it's a "picture perfect 'nor easter"

I'm new to blowing and need some advice from veteran blower's. My problem is the cloud of snow created off the chute that virtually blinds me. I understand that the chute might be built for all types of snow, wet vs dry, but I'll never use it in wet snow, ever. My use is mostly to clean up...

I've been wanting to do this for a while. Hooking up when you can't reach the lever from the back or over the tire to adjust the 3 pt height, even with telescoping links can some times just not go well. The little yellow handle is basically clamped around part of the mechanism already there with...

I'm making a mount for one on my tractor and wonder what to look for and the size (weight). I've got 4 around the house/shop ABC type and rechargable, but basically $35 home cheapo units. On the tractor & truck, I know you usually only get one shot to save things from a complete burn down...

A friend got this nice 8 point tonight on my place just before dark tonight.:thumbsup:

What's it going to take? I have a good utility trailer that has the old spoke type drums with the open center clamp on type wheels - (like a Mobile home trailer although it's not from a m/h). There were common when I built the trailer 25 years ago, but I feel that they are not suited well for...

I had this ssqa laying around from a previous project converting from JD's quick hitch to ssqa. Sold the Deere and thought that with all the ssqa "stuff" I have, it might be handy to have a rear ssqa. Forks came to mind, then a bucket for carrying tools or what ever, then I do have a couple of...

I really don't have a need for the interweb stuck in my pocket the time and wonder, just for the music & camera abilities, will a smart phone do those things either, 1. without the internet service (I guess they call that a data plan), or 2. not connected to a carrier at all? A friend has an...

Since this whole thing is going to miss us here in ME, I'll provide a handy spot for all your (upcoming) snow removal pics, because I am seriously "Jonesing" for a big storm myself!:D Show us what ya got.:thumbsup:

This winter I obligated myself to a friend that plows a ton of local driveways, to do a portion of his "route". I've spent plenty of hours plowing on my (over a mile) roads with my open station tractor, but that was at home and on no schedule. If I got chilled I could just drive back up to the...

Wondering if there are any Tacoma owners out there that may have had this similar condition. I just got a nice clean 2012 with 45k miles, my first Toyota. During the test drive and half the way home it had what I would call normal braking & pedal "feel". After coming off the highway on the way...

I've been making converted p/u truck snowplows for tractors & SS's for a while using this design that allows for float (normal) action along with down pressure. Notice the tube in tube with the welded stops on what could be called the "top link". If you can't see in the pics, you curl in the...

Not sure where I came across this. Looks like a good time.

I can't believe I'm asking this as I swore off new vehicles, but the price of used trucks as discussed here on another thread is crazy as well. After actually thinking of calling a c/l add about a Toyota '06 with 217k on a 4 cyl and asking 8500 dollars, I went on line looking for a light F150 in...

I finally finished, ended up buying the grapple instead of making one. The "plumbing" worked out fine by using 2 diverter valves. I have 3 remotes but need 5 to avoid the diverter valves. I "split" the winch & the grapple, they will never be used at the same time. And the blade circuit got split...

Got a buddy with a 16k PJ tilt deck. He lost the right rear wheel a few months ago, and I mean he lost it while going down the road. After this incedent, he carries an battery impact and religiously checks all his lugs. Tonight he called me, and it was happening to the same wheel, well actually...

Anyone ever price or install one of these on a larger "M" series? I picked up a BIG snowblower and might need to slow things down a little. Of course now that I finally have a blower, it prolly wont snow.:laughing:

I'm dreaming up a heavy slow speed sickle bar type branch trimmer that would operate like a "hybrid" sickle bar/lopper to keep my roads & trails trimmed back, I have miles of them. I'd like to operate it with a cylinder or cylinder(s) rather than a motor. Is it possible to have it "plumbed" to...

My last one was tired and blew a seal. I wanted a little longer travel and found a nice cyl. at Surplus Center that had a compact, retracted legnth with a 12" stroke and ends that would take the modifications well. Only $89 plus about $12 for the ball ends. Closed it is 24", 36" extended with my...

I am unable to view BFreaky's pic's in his bix blade thread. I was able to latch his pretty amazing backhoe build and would love to see what he came up with for his rear blade. All I get it as little blue box with a question mark in it. I have tried several times over several weeks or months. No...

I found a good deal on a Fisher 9.5 EZ Vee without the "tower". I made this frame mount so that I can use the (3) circuits for the loader to make the wings work and power the lift cylinder. This frame attachment keeps the plow close to the tractor and takes the bumps & shock off the loader arms...

Finished this today. It has about 15 deg. of horizontal "swivel" built in for un even ground. The square bar that you see going from high on hitch side to low on the plow "A" frame telescopes about 6" so that the plow can either "float" as it would on a normal truck, or tilt the hitch forward to...

Will the Kubota 3rd function valve work a single acting cylinder? I'm thinking of using it to run a s.a cyl. for a (frame mounted) snow plow lift cylinder.

After making my hydraulic log winch, I decided to make up some rear controls for the winch operation. Pretty simple and thought that they might be handy for anyone with a TNT for attaching rear implements. (moving the hitch around instead of wrestling the implement) They are kinda hard to see...

I've been wanting to build something like this for a while, and too cheap to buy a "store bought" winch, so I've been fooling around with this on & off since March. I took pics all along if anyone is interested.

I found this pretty neat stuff.http://hankstruckforum.com/htforum/index.php?topic=67190.0 I was led to the above link while checking this out. Project `52 DiamondT towrig/RV - The Garage Journal Board

Is it hopeless? Any of you guy's know if any thing, mostly pics & music is retrievable from a pc with the blue screen of death? I have most of it on an external "hard drive" thingy, but not all of it. I'm switchin' teams, to a Mac. Any tips?

JJ - CJONE Got a TRW/Ross MAB06003 A4. All that I have been able to find out about it is it seems to be obsolete. What could you direct me to on the net to find out it's specs. and if it need it, is it rebuildable? I think that it is a gearotor motor. Once before I found a site that had...

Threw these together during shop time with all the recent snow. It seems lately that all my hyd. attachments are needing me to "crack a line" to release about a tsp. of fluid to connect them. Very frustrating, and yes I know how to release the pressure before you disconnect. I'm convinced that...

It's been on my build list for a while, then a buddy gave me an old hood off of a 60's D-6 dozer. I cut it in half legnth wise, had a sheet of 1/8" bent up for the center section, then the ideas started coming. First it was lights, then it was more lights & flashers, then a radio, then a fan, a...

Any tips on using (or thinning) the TSC paint. It seems that the thickness of the paint varies with different colors. From pretty decent brushing to very "heavy" brushing leaving brush marks that do not flow out drying. The project I am working on now would be better to spray, I am by no means a...

I just got some 37' bar joist, enough for a 48' wide shed. I'd like to have 3 - 16' openings (posts) at the front wall, and the back wall could have 8' post spacing. I'm thinking a low pitch roof, around 3/12 so it will be holding the snow. The snow load here is 100 psf, and the roof will be the...

Well I've been beating up this old 8' Mohawk mower for many years, and it has proven it self worthy of a new life. My needs (and property) have changed and I decided to convert it to a 3pt hookup from the trailed type that is has been. I needed the manuverability & to be able to raise it high...

I was rooting through some old crates of my stuff and found a few pumps, yes I am a self admitted scrounger and have a hard time saying no to free. This is a Eaton pump with a number on it that is no help so far (5082188) It appears to be either rebuilt or unused. As you can see, it's pretty...

I'm to the point where I'm looking for a vehicle that gets (REALLY GETS) 25-30 mpg. I have never owned a car other than my fun car (74 Caddy El Dorado conv.) Been thinking Suburu of Volvo xc70, and used, (4-6 years old). Now I don't really see myself in a real "car" and some years ago I saw a...

What's a good stump spray to prevent regrowth & suckers? Will a glyphosohate type spray work on "woody" stuff?

In going thru my pics for another post, I saw the tubing "slicer" I made to slice regular plastic tubing (well pipe, pex tubing ect.) into that curly hose "protector". They charge a fortune for that stuff! I just took a short legnth of (about) 1 1/2 black pipe, guessed an angle to cut it on, and...

Winter in Maine is a slow time for my tractor, it's also a good time for a garage project. My property has (literally)miles of skid roads on it that I try to keep open (mowed). There are areas that were pretty much clear cut by the previous owner and I would like to turn to pasture, with the...

Our water gets a sulpher smell now and then, I've been pouring a little bleach down the (drilled) well when this smell developes. Checking this out on the web, there seems to be a solution using hydrogen peroxide (not the drug store stuff) that is sort of pricey. Does anybody have any experiance...

Threw this togher for the "camp", nuthin' wrong with weenies on a stick, but sometimes you need more! Found a suitable pc. of granite for the base & drilled a 1" hole to accept the 1" rod for the vertical rod that it all hangs and swivels on for height adjustment. I need to find a good old...

Here's a freezing rain Sat. afternoon question. Who is designing these trucks? Ford just couldn't make a larger grill. Chevy has the biggest bizare size'ed bumper in the world. If Dodge layed the windshield back any further it would be a moon roof!

The title just about says it all. Thinking about transitioning to copper or something ridgid at each point of use. I've got the tools for the ring type connectors, I used pex for my domestic water and my radiant heat as well. Seems like good stuff and most air tools are under 125psi. Any stories...

I have a spot, outdoors and under roof that I thought about moving our small chest freezer to for the winter. It seems obvious to me that it might save some energy in the cold and get it out of our way when the house tends to get "tight" when the cold pushes more activities inside the house. Is...

I've had trlrs. with elec brakes for 25yrs. or so, and have never been impressed (with the brakes) and allways had a heavier than needed towing unit so I wasn't overly concerned. Now that I'm older and not as eager to just "go for it" and hopefully a bit wiser I am wondering what to expect out...

Any good suggestions for a vegetable garden forum? This forum thing is a pretty cool way to learn from others. I did a google search under the above title and checked out a few, but they really did not seem to have the response that I have gotten used to here. Maybe one could be started here?:):)

This might be a little medicine that we need.

I got a request for some pics that is my avatar. It's been pretty hot out so thinking snow might be nice for a change. Notice the cheap S.O.B. (me) that didn't go for the cab!:thumbsup: It's an old blade that Messicks had in PA that I made a hitch to fit. Thats a M9540 it's hooked to and these...

These tractors are out of my league, but I wonder how does the suspension work? All that I've ever had is a couple of crappy springs holding up the seat!I can't imagine that they put it on the rear axle also. I've only seen it mentioned in advertising and have never had a chance to look at one...

Finally finished it. I have not used it with a tractor yet, but so far with the skid loader it works well. It does not move the material to the left (building a crown) as fast as I'd hoped but I think that I need to play with my blade settings and tecnique.

I've got an old Troy Bilt Horse and have decided that it deserves a good servicing. I bought it, used from an estate, prolly 12 or better years ago. I have only used it literally 3 or 4 times because I usually use the tractor tiller. Well now I have scaled down the garden size and want to take...

Some shots of the progress on the 3pt hook up and the up and down adj. for the blades. At first I was going to just put a ridgid 3pt. but then decided that a "floating" top link might help the blade follow the grade changes (up/down hill), thinking that this will keep the blade on the ground and...

Starting to take shape, it's been a while since I had a fab. project like this. I forgot how many different parts go into a project like this. When it's all over I'll count em up. I have some bracing to do and figure out an depth of cut adj. mech. It has a 1 1/2 inch max. "cut" to about a 4"...

This may be old news to some, but the other day I went in to get a new bottle for the MIG and was pokin' around in the store and found these magnifying "cheaters" (lens) that sliped right in the welding helmet. WOW, I's funny how easy it is to lay in a pretty bead ... IF YOU CAN SEE!! I'm not...

I have a buddy that wants a 40hp and knows little about tractors. He is on a tight budget (who's not?) I don't know anything about the Kioti line other than of all the newer AK (after Kubota) imported tractors out there, it seems that Kioti has been around longest. I suggested this site to him...

I know there are a ton of dif. threads on this topic... but I am building one, and would like to find out from the guys with a "store bought" model what angle are the blades set at, both front to back and vertically? I'm not sure it's that critical but there must be a "sweet spot" both to move...

Nothing like plowing in Mud season.

Hey, I'm new around here, has there been any other complaining of Kubota's lack of offering a modern transmission? I'm talking in the 50-70 HP range not the smaller guys with a hystat. Most other's (manufacturers) left the el cheapo 4sp/2range 20 years ago. I think that a 4sp 3range should be...

Hello there. Been lingering around here for a while, mostly re directed from other "search" results. I love machinery.welding and fabrication and building stuff that I can use!! It looks like there are a lot of knowledgable folks here to help out. Lately I've been interested in hydraulics. What...
