Long story short: Anybody know the part # or have a photo/drawing that shows the PTO clutch anti-rotation pin/bracket/brace for a GX325? Long story long: Last time I was down at my sister's place she said she thought there was something wrong with the engine. I started it up and it was makin'...

I've noticed the temperature gage has been steadily finding a higher max operating temperature over the past 2 years. Last week it overheated while The Plant Manager was cutting the not-too-long lawn on a not-too-hot day, so I decided to see what was causing the problem. After some testing...

I think it might be the belt ... I've got to modify those covers so I can see & get the clippings out of the belt drive path everytime we use it. It's tempting to just take them off, but it needs to have some protection on it, as The Plant Manager is the primary user. Anybody have experience...

I got tired of seeing the splitter, all alone, out in the field under a deteriorating tarp. So I decided to do something to make it a little more comfortable. Materials: 3 pieces of 10' 1/2" EMT, 2 PT 10' 4x4, 6 18" pieces of re-bar and a fresh tarp. Dang ... can't upload photos.

We had been having intermittent no-start issue with our old (1984-1990) Kubota G5200H mower. Every once in a while I'd turn the key and ... nothing - dead, no glow plugs, etc. A jump start would get it going and a replacement battery, last year, seemed to cure the start issue. Serviced the...

Moderators - Not sure if this is the right forum for automotive repair/tool topics - Please move if not. I know that besides turning wrenches on your tractors, a lot of you guys are into fixing cars & trucks. I've been working on one of our cars and my el-cheapo code reader from HF has left me...

Congratulations LD1 member of the month! Always enjoy reading your thoughts and surprised at the wisdom from such a young fella. -Jim

We have a fairly new B2320HST and I'd like to get a front snow blower for it. From the 2013 Whole Goods catalog, there are two blowers listed for this tractor, the B2781B (51") and the BX2750D (50"). The B2781B (51") $2900, while the BX2750D (50") lists for $1977. So I'll go out on a limb and...

Dealer came & took my L3240 away to install a BH92 hoe. But now there is a question about which mounting kit to order. Apparently the one they got (BH4997) "doesn't fit up right". So it sits at the dealer and here sit I, without my #1 go-to tractor. All the while chores are not getting done...

Have been working on this project on and off for several months. The Plant Manager wants to plant buckwheat in our fallow garden plots and supported my effort to get it done and out of the garage, where it's been taking up far too much space. Welding main frame complete, axle, pillow block...

Does anyone sell just the pads and foam fillers for the Husky helmets? Specifically, the Husqvarna Hygiene Kit (D10A) - these are available in the UK, but I can't seem find them in the US. I know, I know, I'm cheap ...

Removed the old front tire on our B5100. It's a very small turf tire - 16x6.5 size. It was bleeding green from the bead. So off to TSC for a set of tire spoons. Much cursing, grunting & sweating and the old one was off the rim. Now I know why the tire guys say "don't use slime". What a...

Not sure this is the right forum, but it's the best I could find ... ... also not sure if this has been around already; if so, my apologies ... Guy at work sent this my way and I greatly enjoyed it. Reminded me of working for my dad doing drafting work & holding the loop end of a 100' tape...

The belt I removed from the mower deck (left) vs the correct belt (right): Mower deck with wrong (too narrow belt) notice how the belt touches itself near the idler: ... and with the correct belt - much more clearance near the idler: Both belts were the same length, but the large one...

I need to break up the tire tracks left after using my disc hiller. What sweep or point are you folks using on hillers, cultivators, etc? Does it really matter?

Interested in getting a top & tilt outfit for our L3240, but I want to install 3 remotes, first. Went looking on some Kubota dealer parts pages and can't find anything listed. I'm looking for the following P/Ns: L8305 Base Kit L8303 1st Valve L8306 2nd pos stacking L8303 2nd Valve L8307 3rd...

While driving our new-to-us G5200 around our field a few weeks ago there began a terrible screeching noise and the tractor stopped dead. Fearing the worst (an HST problem) I shut her down and towed her back to the garage, making sure to keep the rear wheels off the ground. After some...

Driving around the field in our new to us G5200 the other day when all of a sudden it starts making a terrible screeching noise and won't move forward or back. Parked it and threw a tarp over it as there was a snow storm coming. Had to get it back to the garage to work on it and didn't want to...

A few months ago I picked up a used FEL fork attachment for a fair price. I knew I was going to have to do some cutting and welding as the mounting brackets didn't match up to my FEL. In the meantime, I had a great need to get the forks working on the 3PH to move heavy pallets of freshly split...

Just replaced the turnbuckles on our B5100 with telescopic stabilizers from StabilWorks: StabilWorks The installation took about 20 minutes and they are a huge improvement. Hitching an attachment is much faster now. I had considered Pat's, but didn't want to move the mounting point any...

Didn't want to hijack the other thread ... This is my headache tractor rack - it allows the ROPs to fold and I discovered an unintended benefit: additional tool storage! Very cheap, some scrap hurrcane fence, a pack of zip ties and a few bungies: -Jim

In my previous thread I got some good advice about what bar & chain I should get for a donor 036. I may have hitched the cart before the horse a bit. Tonight, I started checking the saw out. First off, it really needs a new drive sprocket - that thing looks like it must have been throwing the...

A guy at work just gave me a Stihl 036 that he can't get started. Externally, it looks to be in great shape, but it has no bar or chain. Before I spend anything on parts, I'd like to see if I can get it started. I already have a Stihl 361 and a Stihl 011. The 361 has 20"/.375 on it. The...

The Plant Manager was getting very frustrated trying to make 2 furrows, 64" apart so we could lay a 6' wide sheet of Lumite down and bury the 4" ends. I have been reading disc hiller threads and planning a build for over a year. Yesterday was the day, but I finished too late in the evening to...

I have a Stihl 011 that won't spin. When Pops retired to Maine, in 1998, he traded his beloved Jonsered 2186 to Tom the Saw Guy for the little Stihl. He used it to get his 1/4 acre retirement home all cleaned up and then a few times after storms before he got too weak to use it. Actually, he...

Can anyone tell me what thread size the hydraulic port, with the handle, under the seat is? I'm assuming it's metric? It leaks when the revs are high, so I'd like to get a plug for it until I can fix the valve when I overhaul it in the winter. Thanks, Jim

Can anyone tell me what thread size the hydraulic port, with the handle, under the seat is? It leaks when the revs are high, so I'd like to get a plug for it until I can fix the valve. P.S. The port, with the handle, under the seat reminds me of the booth, in the back, in the corner, in...

On Friday I built a counterweight for the front after having little luck keeping the fronts on the ground while tilling. Drilled four holes in a section of channel and got some longer bolts to replace the metric front PTO bolts and mount the channel. Two 5/8" bolt heads welded to the channel...

I'm starting to look for a wood stove for supplementing our oil heat. Any brand or model recommendations? We have a 1950's ranch with a partly finished basement, which is where the old stove is. Old stove's an Ashley C-62 from the 70's I think. Seems to have a leak or crack in the main...

Thought I could weld a draw bar between the feet of my chipper: Added 1 7/8" ball with handle on nut for quick removal as the thread would get messed up if I rest the chipper on it. Also, I need to remove the ball so I can swing the back open to get at the blades: All hitched up: Ready to...

Would appreciate any advice for drilling snow plow cutting edge. The Plant Manager (bless her warm heart) brought a 7' piece back from the dump for me. I don't know what kind of steel it is or if HSS drills are good enough. Been procrastinating getting Cobalt, but is this stuff going to be...

Turned up after tilling last year's tater patch: Some sort of snap shackle - looks like it may be military? Material is bronze, I believe. No oxidation. This is how it looks after being dusted off after who knows how long in the soil. A drop of oil and the action is still smoooooth.

While working on a lawn tractor motor this weekend I realized that my 3/8" SK torque wrench is the wrong tool for the job. It's been perfect for all the car stuff I've done over the past 30 years. I even bought a 3/4" drive torque wrench for doing FWD axle bearing nuts. But a Craftsman head...

Please join us in welcoming Ag-nes to our growing family. Delivery weight: 893 lbs. The plant manager is thrilled. She said "get me something that won't break" while I was replacing the head gasket in the second engine in the Craftsman. Ag-nes has a whopping 12HP and seems to pull twice as...

I plan to build a logging arch this winter. A friend recently donated a frankentrailer to the cause. He got it from a friend of a friend who nobody seems to remember now. I need help IDing the old car/truck V8 hub cap snapped on one of the wheels so I can figure out what kind of wheel hub...

After a few hours of driving over our lumpy terrain, my back feels all young & limber again - it's like a Tractor of Youth. The best part is no one is trying to sign me up for 3 more months of 3 sessions a week at $120 a session plus I actually get some work done. The gentleman we bought...

This may sound trivial, but for the first time in the 4 years I've owned my L3240 I had the need to remove the LA724 FEL so I could manuver with the tiller in some very tight areas due to The Plant Manager putting a garlic bed and an apsaragus bed at opposite ends of our garden. Following the...

When I made the decision to get a tractor I never thought I would need it for this job. For the past few months we have been enjoying the odd glimpse or two of a moose on our property: She was munching the bark on the smaller maples: Late in the afternoon on Monday, we saw her down in a...

This weekend I needed to put some heavy stuff up in the loft above the garage. Not cherishing the idea of hauling bulky, awkward items up the ladder, I set about making a stage for the FEL that would allow me to lift said items up to the loft: WARNING! Safety police please disregard the...

A disclaimer: I haven't waxed my rims or used AromorAll on the tires. And even if i did I wouldn't tell you guys. That having been said, yesterday I was trying to sort out some of the "junk" in boxes in our garage. One of the boxes had old car stuff in it, including a leather steering wheel...

I致e been following this thread : http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/94365-your-backhoe-worth-over-long.html with great interest as I have been wrestling with the same question I want a hoe, but the money is hard to part with. There are a lot of things that this place needs...
