    fuel tank strainers

    I bought the same 1 as Maclean a couple years ago and very happy with it. Utah Biodiesel Supply was good to work with too.

    BX Coolant

    I switched mine too, Zerex G05. I was using it for my Dodge Cummins and thought it would be easier to have 1 kind for both. I thought it was easier to pull the lower radiator hose than hassle with the drain plug. I flushed it a couple times with water from my dehumidifier, added coolant and...

    BX wheel spacers

    I did 2” on rears only, from Bro-Tek. They are very nice. If I need to still use the 60” deck mower I can, my back up mower if needed. My land is pretty flat other than a ditch I mow, I can tell a difference. Theirs opinions on wether to do the front and I did not.

    Building a pole barn

    I had an extension put up on my pole barn from the original company that put it up. I observed they dug a 4’ hole, put a concrete disc in the bottom, cant remember if it was 2x8, 2x10. My poles have are plastic sleeved for like 5’. They just back filled the hole with dirt, no concrete.

    Looking for a ballast box/weight rack

    So I bought a Heavy Hitch 3pt rack. That thing is robust. Sticks out a little farther than I wanted but I guess thats more counter weight. I found my Kubota weights off craigs list. Was searching for a year, ended up buying 2 sets of 3, then wire wheeled them and painted them up. I didnt want...

    Wood trailer decking, what to coat/seal it with?

    I used Sunnyside Deck Wash from Menards. While working in the shade, I put it into a pump sprayer, wait 5-10 minutes, then used a low setting pressure washer to rinse. It didnt hurt the grass. After it dried a couple days, I sealed it with Cabots Clear Wood Protector, 2 coats. Its been a couple...

    Canopy leaning forward

    My oem Kubota canopy has some forward lean down. I dont hit my head. I figure I get a little more shade and/or a little more protection from rain if I’m in a middle of finishing a project. Mine doesnt sit outside but there would be no standing water either, just my 2 cents. There is a pic in my...

    BX2380 50 Hour, Lessons Learned

    Kevin good write up. I replaced all fluids too. Hst screen was pretty clean but the fluid looked like it had very fine flakes in it, worth the change in my opinion. I didnt change the air or fuel filter but soon learned I needed to install a shutoff on the first fuel filter. I ordered a metal...

    SHTF question

    This is not my on the go gun but added the new pump pellet rifle to the arsenal. You can hunt small game and would even kill a medium size dog. When the time comes where is all the garbage going. The garbage pile will attract rodents, possums, skunks, etc. You can plink them off relatively easy...

    Solution for snow blower throwing gravel

    Re: Snowblower throwing gravel - a solution? I only had 1 winter experience with this and with some success but it was a couple years ago. I only tried it a few times and the snow base I had kept melting due to crazy weather. I used 1 1/2” pvc pipe. Cut down to 48-50” then cut a slit down the...

    Elderly standby generator: repair or replace?

    So I opted for a new generac 22kw unit a couple years ago. I have a local dealer and 3 more nearby. I figure parts/service shouldnt be a problem if needed. I didnt like the cheap cover for the Kohlers and only 1 dealer nearby, while more expensive to boot. The local dealer is pretty good and...
