    Iron Bull Canopy

    Has anyone purchased and installed a canopy from Iron Bull? They sell both metal and plastic versions - I am interested in the metal one. https://ibullmfg.com/product/kubota-universal-canopy/ I currently have a Tuff Top canopy, but the brackets keep breaking to a point that I can almost no...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Any chance you have pictures you can post?

    Hydraulic Lines Under Tractor

    Did you ever finish your set up and get it working? I too have a B2650 and would like to get the 3' Lane Shark, but their website says it's NOT for the B series tractors. I'd like to think that's some liability BS and that the B2650 will run the Lane Shark just fine.

    B2601 3rd function switch repair

    Just installed the above switch. Only thing that seems different from the original is that the lens is green instead of frosted. Makes it difficult to tell if the switch is activated in sunlight, as the light is green too. I did include the spring loaded switch guard, which is easy to flip up...

    B2601 3rd function switch repair

    What's the purpose of the other 2 wires (solid black and solid yellow)? I'm guessing one is maybe ground.

    B2601 3rd function switch repair

    So, I finally got some of the parts and attempted to fix the switch. No dice. The lens cover was very difficult to get to fit into place, then I could never get it to spring back up. There appears to be thin, fragile plastic in the switch housing and a rubber gasket that must provide some...

    B2601 3rd function switch repair

    That's assuming I want to move it. Then I also still have the metal housing on the joystick for the 3rd function switch which just has a hole in it and serves no purpose. I sort of like having the button there and I have been lucky to not have an issue with moisture. The cap only fell off...

    B2601 3rd function switch repair

    I have a B2650 and noticed that the cap on the LED popped off or was otherwise knocked off. The dealer was of course unhelpful in finding the actual parts that I wanted. I originally was looking for a cap, then started looking for the switch based upon this thread. I took the switch out...

    A Better Front Brush Guard Please!

    Has anyone had their hands on the new guard that comes on the LX series/LA535? It looks cool, as the Kubota name cut into the metal, and is hinged/folds down somehow to allow easier access to the hood and more clearance between the guard and the loader. Supposedly I'm told the frame of the LX...

    Kubota Orange paint @ Home Depot

    I just did some work on my tractor, made and installed some rear remotes. I used the Rustoleum Gloss Protective Enamel (7784 charcoal gray). I think the color is a pretty good match to the factory ROPS/Kubota gray. Certainly cheaper and I can't imagine the Rustoleum is any less of a quality...

    Custom Rear Remotes for B50

    Also bought a top link cylinder from Surplus Center as mentioned in another OTT thread. Cylinder retracted and stroke lengths are great - tried it out on my box blade. I did have to grind off about 1/8" from the swivel eye where it connects to the back of the tractor, it was just a little too...

    Custom Rear Remotes for B50

    Finally completed. I hooked up my flail mower and had a grand time testing it out. Floats and angles down with offset to the side of the tractor for ditches and sets straight up 90 degrees to trim branches along the fence row of trees.

    Here is a view of the low pressure hose making a 180 turn from the FEL to the pump (before I installed the tee fitting).
