Your level indicator is really nice, Kirt, but for now I couldn't resist fixing my old Delta Unifence Cursor with one you make and sell on your Etsy site. Looking forward to having that back in use again!!! Thanks for making such a nice one available. David

Do you still have to have 5 messages to your name before you can attach a pic to your message?

If you bought it from your local dealer: Bring a brand new/unused thumb drive to them and ask them to download the manuals on it. My dealer was happy to do that for me. Even if you didn't buy it from your local dealer..... the same might work just as well for getting the manuals.

I purchased a full set of both R3 and R4 tires/wheels with the B2650 tractor. The R3 turfs are much better in snow than the R4s. Neither set is filled with liquid. My ground is level, so the turfs do quite well without chains in the winter. They are useless in mud, though. My R4s only get...

The photo makes it look like the outer edge of the wheel took a hit and is slightly bent?

I always tried to convey to the wife and kids that you don't explain or leave a message so that someone can understand you. On the contrary, you should explain or leave a message so that it is impossible for anyone to misunderstand you!!!! Woe is me. After all these years, it rarely happens!! 😞

I'm a little late to this party and this might be considered cheating...... but South Bend has a great little booklet called "How to Run a Lathe". You can buy hard copies or find free download .pdf versions all over the internet. It contains all the basic setups and directions for all...

Gear selector in Neutral? PTO selector disengaged? Sitting in seat? It should start. Another safety switch is the neutral pedal switch (pedal must be in the returned position (between forward/reverse). With the other selectors in the proper position for starting..... try holding the key in...

Beer!!! Because no good story starts with a salad.

Nice trailer and dump mechanism!!!

There should be a club for our type who just don't like to wear gloves (mechanics or latex) while working!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

With that wide wheelbase it would sure be nice to have for mowing the roadside ditches!!!

Here's some Pictures of the Corn Patch from some years back. That was a LOT of corn to pick by hand and sell off the end of our driveway!! I doubt the boys will eat corn for the rest of their lives now that they're out on their own. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

For 20+ yrs (starting with a JD750 compact and then the Kubota B2650) we planted 2.5 to 3 acres of sweet corn. The tractor did everything from the seedbed prep, planting, cultivating, spreading fertilizer, spraying, residue chopping, and final tilling & soil prep before freezeup in the fall...
