    My Flail Mower “OOPS!”

    Wow that's a lot of corn to pick by hand! I have been growing five or six rows of sweet corn for some 35 years just for our own use and have always been doing crop rotation which is easy to do on a such a small scale.

    My Flail Mower “OOPS!”

    Just curious did you just shred it all and not harvest the corn - that's a pretty big field for hand picking? I just keep a small corn patch and know nothing about commercial corn fields so if it was explained earlier I missed it.

    My Flail Mower “OOPS!”

    Cutting down corn stalks with a flail mower is a great idea and I will try that out in few weeks time! We had a late planting due to weather. My flail mower is an old Ford 917L (side slicer flails) and should do OK at a low speed. I have just a small 6-row corn garden and have been cutting it...

    Kubota F3060 HST / 2-Speed Range Selector Housing Oil Leak

    Kubota F3060 4x4 (3600 hour) mower is built basically similar as many small Kubota lawn tractors are (at least the parts are very similar) but it's assembled to be driven "backwards". It had a hard to find HST oil leak, which I thought was in the HST itself but it turned out to be a very hard...

    How to remove HST forward/reverse pedal on Kubota B2100

    My F3060 had HST oil leak in the 2-speed range selector aluminum housing, due to hairline crack above the oil level. It was nearly impossible to see the crack until the tractor frame etc. were all removed out of the way! Here is my posting about it...

    How to remove HST forward/reverse pedal on Kubota B2100

    Can't help you with the go-pedal on this particular model but here is my 2 cents worth: 1. Get a WSM for that model, you will need it and it will be worth it's price if you do repairs like this. 2. If not already done so, completely de-grease & clean up the outside of HST and any other areas...

    Messick's shipping. You've got to be kidding me!!!

    OK maybe so, but how much does it cost you to drive to Lowe's to pick up one 20 cent bolt + the total time it takes to make the trip ? How much is your time worth? I think the going mileage rate is somewhere around 55 cent per mile or so according to IRS.

    F3680 4wd Engagement advice please

    Not sure if you have worked on differentials previously - I am far from expert on them but I bet we have other members here who are? Items 2 & 4 are most likely of different thickness (normally would be called shims) and should go back to the same position, unless adjustments are needed.

    F3680 4wd Engagement advice please

    Here is the best advise: Buy a Kubota WSM for F3680 and follow the detailed instructions how to do it.

    B7100 HST 4wd swash plate stop bolt

    I appreciate you posting about the L48 HST repair couple years ago and mostly because of that went ahead to open up the HST in my F3060 ! It had sticky HST control pedal & few oil leaks so I wanted to inspect the cradle bearings in order to eliminate chance of those being the problem while I had...
