I wasn’t sure how they would be but considering the old ones had no wires, sockets or bulbs and the reflectors were all peeled they HAD to be better 😃 at least I can see with the blade down I’ll probably figure out a good place to mount a small light bar above the reach of the blade and I...

Well finally remembered to check the new LED headlights I installed while it was dark out. WAY BETTER than the 1156 bulbs that were there before

File under you learn something new every day. I just got the new PTO shaft and it’s got the 1 3/8 x6 spline quick connect on both ends. I just fit it to the tractor just for sizing and I was lamenting having to change the yoke to a 1” round with a keyway so I asked Grok AI if there was an...

FINALLY got the gearbox bearings easy peasy to replace them only 1 clip had to be removed. Painted the gearbox casing while I was waiting it looks pretty good. Glad I saved that toaster oven worked great to give the paint a lil bake 200*f for an hour or so and it really flowed evenly

Been there done that 🤣🤬

Can anyone confirm what I was told by my local Kubota dealer that ROPS for the B7100 are no longer available? I find it odd but it is OLD,

Rebuilding the gearbox on my Loftness snowblower glad I did the bearings were headed for a failure

Good day all I’m in search of a ROPS for my B7100 gear I’m in NY if anyone has of knows any thank you.

Decided that just replacing the yoke and obviously a new u joint would be the best option at this point nice to have the sounding board with more experience thank you all. This is the yoke I went with hopefully it works out Indeed it does 😁👍hopefully it arrives Saturday. Waiting on bearings...

I have the rubbers on my 28” snowblower impeller works great I’ll look into that for this monster, I’ve got a front blade on it so a few inches isn’t an issue, yeah need to get chains on mine too my driveway isn’t long but it’s pretty steep

Well started with the PTO shaft and had decided to reseal the gearbox as it was leaking oil after I refilled it not to big of a PIA to get it off and very glad i decided to I found 2 of the taper bearing cages pretty rusted not broken yet but pitting is seriously deep so now its bearings and...

Yea exactly that’s why I started this lol. I may just get a replacement yoke for the tractor side of the shaft. That stuck detente has me very concerned I’ve seen video of broken pto shafts do not want first hand experience with it shattering a front joint on my rustang and nearly pitch polling...

The tractor end, I was thinking they are used as a retainer instead of an actual bearing looking at their condition, because where they are should not be turning unless something failed catastrophically. I started this after I cleaned up both ends of it Its for a snowblower, and its the...

Gotta love old equipment I don’t need a gym membership 🙄😂

I just posted a few pics hopefully it clarifies what I’m trying to convey
