Hello jgoodma1, Not sure if this will help....see attached L48 starting system schematic image.

?How does a Piranha bar handle rocky soil? My ground is riddled with small and some very large deep rocks and I have been on the fence on ordering one. I have a Ratchet Rake that pops small to mid sized surface rocks if I have enough RPM's but it is not designed to dig. My goal is to level a...

It will probably cost as much or more to make your own.:) Take a look at this site: LINK: http://www.palletforks.com/tractor-attachments-92/tractor-attachments/bucket-cutting-edges.html

Thanks to all for your reply's, I'm still on the fence. But, based on your reply's if I had bought the Pirahana first I doubt I'd be asking about the Ratchet Rake, even though it is a great product. I came across another product on the "TBN" forum that peaked my interest. It is a "Titan" tooth...

I read the reviews about the Piranha Bar and all tout the virtues of the product an am therefore considering a purchase myself. I currently have a "Ratchet Rake" that does very well tearing up grass, vines (poison oak) and small saplings. I know the Piranha Bar is designed for a different...

I've been reading the positive and negative posts about the Titan products and thought I'd pass on my expierience with them. I bought the 48" model and it came as advertised shipped to my home but one of the pins that holds the movable fork in it's backplate notch had been damaged somewhere in...

YES............steady as a rock

This is a simple add for those who don't want to drill or glue into the 2” square ROPS posts. I used the material I had on hand including a ATV mirror I wasn't using on my UTV. Basically it is 3 pieces of 1.5” x 1/8” flat steel welded into a “U” shape with one leg longer for the mirror...

I struggled for 20+ years with mower blade replacement never remembering if the threads were reversed or not and laying on my back. There are two tools that are worth the price. 1. Impact wrench 2. ATV lift Here's a link for the lift...

I have to replace 4 teeth. The old teeth were very difficult to remove as they were peened on and I ended up cutting them off with a grinder. It is my hope that I will never have to do it again so here's my questions. Is it better to peen or weld? Does peening require heating the new tooth to...

Stubbyie, First off let me compliment all the individuals who take the time to share their knowledge and thoughts. My son and I are new to this tractor owners group with no real life experience so all information is greatly appreciated. Yes, you are correct, removing the backhoe (our 1st time...

I'm running at 1800-2200 rpm.

I posted this on the TBN site and as was suggested am doing so here. Just bought a old Gannon Rollover box blade to put on my L48. I purchased the L48 with a backhoe attached and as it turns out the 3 pt hitch was never used by the previous owner(s) so a learning curve to detach the backhoe...

Hello, I'm looking for idea on where to mount/weld 2 grab hooks on a kubota 1747 bucket. The bucket has a round top edge. If I drill the bucket to bolt on backing plates should I put a plate inside the bucket also? Will 1/4" backing plates be sufficient? Anyone done this or seen it done? Any...
