The roller is not needed with the wheels. It is much more manuverable using the wheels & turns easier. Rotate the shaft, the zerk is accessable through hole in the panel. Same thing to access the zerk on the shaft from the gear box to the drive pulley. I will attach a parts manual that might...

13kw generator seems like massive over kill. Get a 5kw & a small propane generator, 2000 watts maybe. Use the larger generator when needed for well pump etc. Use the small generator as necessary to keep the refrigerator and or freezer cold. Install a wood stove for winter heat. Get a good supply...

I have a pretty early model & it is on the left side. I see a image where it looks like it is on the right side. I know it is on the left side on mine as I replaced it while doing a kit to fix hydraulic cavitation in the steering system. Maybe it is different on the newer models?

I see that one of the other responders did not like using a splitter in the vertical mode, something that I share. If you fit into that category also I strongly recommend a splitter that is big enough that you can comfortably work with it while standing erect, not having to bend over a bit...

I had a similar problem with a Kubota B2710. It was caused by cavitation in the hydraulic system. Kubota had a fix that consisted of a kit to relocate the return line from the power steering. Fixed it!

While location & climate etc. are nice, I think the people you connect with in a new location have the biggest impact on the satisifaction with your new location.

I think he is going to be doing that for a long time.

I've only been to Big Springs a couple of times, but I kind of liked it. I moved to Texas in 1973 from Michigan. I haven't regreted it for a second. Ended up in Ft. Davis & I plan on being here until the end.

This is what I did on my B2620 using existing holes.

If you used a ballast box have it mounted. Get your tires wet. Drive across dry concrete. Adjust tire pressure to just get full contact.

It sounds like you had a problem with the oil that wasn't the usual. FYI my solution for the usual chain oil drool is to lay the saw on its side, chain side down. Works on my Stihl & Echo saws.

I live in a dry climate. Algae doesn't seem to be a issue. I believe I had over 1000 hours on mine before I changed it. If I didn't live in a dry climate I think it would be a different story.

I doubt that you will change any of the believers minds.

Update The new hearing aids help my wife hear cell phone conversations. The phone speakers shut off & bluetooth sends the audio to both hearing aids. She also thinks they do better than the 5 year old ones she was using.

51R is what I have in mine. Did you install the battery with the terminals to the front? The other way is a problem.

I manage to do things like that frequently. It keeps me from having to buy bigger hats. :p

Does anyone use bluetooth to connect your cell phone to your hearing aids? Is it a improvement that is worth buying new hearing aids to get? Thanks

I rebuilt my splitter because of that issue. New axle mounted lower on the frame & bigger tires keeps my back from complaining too much.

Brushes in the sawzall generate sparks.

While I would really like one, I have a old 066 that is a joy to use when I need a bigger saw.

Add on the ex-city people that don't want to mow their acreage, do any kind of maintenance on anything & expect people to be neighborly & do it for free.

Do you have a battery that has enough cranking amps for your tractor?

In the realm of cheap & easy, try soaking the carb in carb cleaner for a few days

Condensation?

It seems to me that a lot of people just want cheap.

Even when you are on a small slope, a small hole for a front wheel to drop into or a rock under a rear wheel can change things drastically. I put 4" spacers on the rear wheels & it noticeably improved the stability of the tractor in those conditions. I fail to understand why they can make...

Mine typically cuts much better when mowing shorter.

pull the fuse for the radio??

I don't know if this guy on ebay has what you are looking for, but you might check. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234961615388?epid=1507461019&hash=item36b4cdba1c:g:cbUAAOSwG6BkLvBw

Cancelled my Amazon acct some time ago. Price isn't the only metric I use to determine where I shop. One of the major things that Amazon does that rubs me the wrong way is to list many things that do not resemble what I put in search. Another is to list things they haven't had in stock for...

I was interested in one of those a few years ago. Thankfully, a lot of research & a quick test drive changed my mind.

Want your phone number so they can call you back & irritate you with some more haggling??

I'm 78 & plainly see why they feel that way.

This place used to be a good source for work boots. I haven't been there in years though. https://www.americanmadeworkboots.com/index.html

I have put about a thousand hours on since I installed 4" spacers with no problems.

Has anyone tried different blades on a MMM to reduce the chaff that collects on the radiator screen? My thoughts are that a lower lift/no lift blade would be better for dry conditions. Comments welcome

Before I quit watching tv, there was a commercial for some drug. They never said what it was for. Just "see your Dr." Americans like drugs imho

Could we get back on topic please

Dual booting is one way to accomplish that. Another way is creating virtual machines. I have XP & 10 virtual machines for special needs.

You might give Linux a try. I prefer linux Mint with the cinnamon desktop. Not only is it free, it is better.

Linux using waterfox is ok

I have been charged $.30+ a kilowatt a time or two. I didn't like that much either.

Why do you care?

26 years ago I went as far from all electric as I could get. I mainly heat with a wood stove, but I have a propane furnace as a backup, cook stove, water heater & dryer. When I get too old to deal with firewood I will use the furnace. Air conditioning is handled with a swamp cooler, but I...

Charging EV's at night when all the solar is non producing?

Cleaning & fixing up my old Mott was a good wither time project

Working on the Line Project in Saudi Arabia?

IMHO, there is a lot of click bait in many weather stories.

Remarkable restoration video.

It got down to 35 this morning. Wood stove conquered the cold again. :p

This is the stuff that was piled together. A close up shot for detail. This is what I could figure out to make. Surplus parts may be for something else. This may be some kind of medical stuff as he was a Dr. I only had one pin that I put in the right side is why it is crooked. Now, as a...

Sounds reasonable. It looks like it is meant to stand in the vertical position.

I'm helping a neighbor widow to clean out her barn/storage/workshop. This item has me stumped. Tried a google image search with no match. Any one know what's it?

Could some bad oil have come from a attachment?

Bump gate?

$1000.00 a foot for the increase in size. Wouldn't be worth it to me.

If they were not so high on their shipping I would buy more from them

Think of it as "A ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure"

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if I can locate some.

The West Texas sun has done a number on my implements & It is time to repaint. Does anyone have any recommendations for brand or color?

Use it. I'm using oil in my car I have had longer than that.

Yeah, but the emissions are somewhere else, out of sight. You know, out of sight, out of mind?

Yep, I read books on my tablet. My neck was giving me fits until I bought a floor stand from "stand for stuff" that will hold the tablet up where I don't bend my neck to look at it. I don't know if they are still in business. Mine looks like this.

Lotos I had one of the first generation machines. The power supply worked well, the consumables - not so much. I ended up using it as a trade in for a much better machine.

I see sales slowing down drastically. The boom seemed to stop as quickly as it started. One house close to me has been on the market for about 6 months. They recently dropped the price $30,000

I bought the .45 Crimson ProCarry in January 2010. The Ultra Carry 9mm in 2011 & the 9mm Solo CDP in 2012

I have a .45 & 2 9mm. I feed them Blazer ammo & they hardly ever have any problem. I have put 5200 rounds thru the .45 & it's my favorite non concealed carry gun.

Just happened here this week.

I have been very pleased with my Mier Drive Alert DA-500. I also can pick up small gravel with a magnet, but it hasn't affected the operation. I've had it for about 9 years I think without any problems. I did put the cable in plastic conduit. Previously I had a Dakota murs radio based system...

End with the threads is how I would do it.

Beating my body up going fast with my zero turn isn't much fun. Going slower on the tractor with much bigger tires to smooth out the ride makes it much more enjoyable to me.

Somebody doesn't know the definition of a generator.

My guestimate is that I dug out over 100 yds with my B2620 with nothing but what you see here.

How about a easily accessed icon to block someone on that forum only.

Dismount loader to keep from getting grease all over the tractor. Move tractor. Pressure wash the loader. Wait a bit for it to dry. Remount loader. Give it a fresh grease job.

Just for general info. I tried some seals off from Ebay that were about a third of the kubota price. Worked ok for a couple of months, then started leaking.

Yep, I wouldn't sell him insurance

We were visiting relatives last week & were amazed at the nonstop Medicare Advantage commercials.

What my wife calls "Tractor Therapy" reduced my blood pressure & stress levels. I enjoy being outdoors & doing things. Learning to ignore the media & politics will further reduce your stress & let you enjoy living more. I have a neighbor that gets wrapped around the axle over politics. I tried...

One of my pet peeves are the channels with "pretty" folks who never get dirty or sweaty & their tools are always shiny new. For instance, their chain saws always have a brand new bar that clearly displays the brand name. I much prefer the real world types.

Bad battery?

I enjoy learning something new, so a few years ago I bought one of the multipurpose machines so I could dabble with MIG. I think I have used stick a couple of times since I have had the new machine, but I could probably do with out stick welding altogether without much trouble.

I start with the negative reviews & read them with a discerning eye. Works for me. A few years ago I was shopping for a water heater & I was amazed by the number of 5 reviews that mentioned looks. Who cares about the looks of a water heater? Millennials I guess?

The advice about having a separate email address for commerce is what I use. To prevent spam from your personal acct. look up how to use rules for your email program. You can easily create a rule that blocks everyone that is not in your address book.

I have been impressed with this guy & the projects he tackles. https://www.youtube.com/c/CuttingEdgeEngineeringAustralia/videos

I don't notice much difference in the cut between dull & sharp blades. I do straighten/replace the bent ones.

I would wait

First off, let me preface this by saying that I am not picking on Miller. I have a Lincoln & the recommended settings in the book & what the welder it's self recommend are similar to what the manual for the Miller. Miller just happens to have a online calculator that I can use for comparison...

I am interested in learning TIG welding. I am just a hobbyist. I have a Lincoln 210MP that I could buy all the stuff I need to make it TIG capable. The price to buy their stuff is a bit over the top IMHO. Other folks make kits to convert the 210 to TIG capable, but I知 not sure of the quality of...

Recently there was a thread about buying a Mott with wheels. That started the mind going about putting some on my mower. Alamo's price is a bit much & I needed a project anyway. I had a pair of front forks from my Hustler left over from installing flex forks, so I ordered wheels & tires. Other...

Something like this? Hard rocky soil in a dry creek bed.

While this is not as capable as the op's machine, I paid $5 at a local thrift store for it in like new condition. It meets my needs.

Here is my version of a welding table for occasional use that doesn't take up much space. When I use it for cutting with a plasma cutter I arrange the piece so the cut is between the grooves. Here is where it normally lives. This shows the tubing that I welded on the bottom of the grating...

Update Here is what it looks like. I had to change the mount. Since I have a small tractor, there wasn't enough room to get access to the grease zerk with the stock mount. So I cut off the pinch part & drilled a couple of holes & tapped it for 1/4x20.

As I get older, my neck doesn't appreciate being turned a bunch to see behind me. I ordered these yesterday because of the way they mount & the size of the mirrors that don't add significantly to the width of the tractor. Loader Mirror Kit (Right Side)

While we were gone over Thanksgiving a big tree blew over in our yard. While sawing up the big trunk the chainsaw found a rock embedded in the trunk at the bottom of the cut. Got out another chain & finished the other cuts. Got out a smaller saw & nibbled around the rock. I managed to get the...

There is no utopia anywhere. Always something that could be better. Where ever you can be happy is where you want to be. Farm, ranch, suburb or where ever. Almost every place has something good going for it for someone. Being 80 miles from the closest Walmart is great for me & my sweetie. It...

I don't know if these are what you are referring to But they helped my mower.

Well, if it had been just the shaft that had broke, it would not have been too bad. Unfortunately, that is the lesser problem. Seems like a bolt broke that holds the control valve assy. The ear on the other end broke & the control valve dropped into the differential gear assy. & it got drove...

Well, shucks & other comments.

Getting older has taken the fun of getting 5 gal. cans up to the top of the tractor. Now, I just put the hose in the can, connect up the power leads to the battery & let it rip. It gets about 90% of the fuel out & I just pour the rest in. I have a plastic cap that fits in the hose & one over the...

I went through about 4-5 wire wheels on my angle grinder, then sandblasted the corners where the wire wheels couldn't get to. The wire wheels make a big mess with the dust from the old paint. Then a coat of primer & then the first coat of orange courtesy of rattle cans. I put quite a bit of...

Time for a update. The weather wasn't too bad today, so I got some paint squirted on it.

Got a set of blades for it & did a small amount of cutting today. It seems to work ok. Can someone clear up something for me? In the manual I found it talks about independently floating lift arms I believe I have a set of the chains, but cannot figure out how I can use them. Anyone with...

This is a 5 footer I found on CL. If it takes different parts from the standard model 60, I would appreciate any & all info. Does anyone know how much this weighs? It appears to be in fair shape, cleaning, painting & a new set of flails at the least will make this a nice winter project.

Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster speaking in Orillia, Ontario, says, "I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto. I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the...

Neighbor passed away, wife doesn't want this. Been used maybe 2 times. Location is West Texas.

After reading several threads on the ability to use Kubota's quick attach on a LA364, a seed sprouted in the mess between my ears. My first thought was to get Kubota's fork assembly for the quick attach. Two problems with that. Cost & weight. About $1000 & over 300 lbs. I already had some clamp...

One of the things about my Kubota that doesn't sit well with me :silly: is the seat. Black. Hot West Texas sun + black is not a good combination. I tried a seat cover & while better, I have to get off & on the tractor frequently when doing landscaping projects. The seat cover wanted to come off...

While they are not all that uncommon, I'll bet not many of you have one of these hanging around in your shop.

Getting much snow is a uncommon event for us. Couple of days ago we were blessed (it's moisture) with about 5". It was my first chance to play tractor in the snow. After doing the drive, I did nearly 3 miles of roads in our development. It was fun, but will probably last me for a few years...

I used a San Angelo Bar between two doorways in the hall. I had virtually the same experience with a new gun safe. :) For those who don't know what that is

When you are blessed (?) with as many as I have, I see them as gulley fillers.
