I just went out and looked.mine is a BB1560. Older and had alot of pounding. I double checked my LP order and I ordered the 1560 straps. Once the parts get here I'll get more steel and beef that thing up a bit. I think Foobert is on the right track. Mine is rated for 17-40 so it should handle...

I just got off the phone with my dealer. They said LP shipped my upper straps yesterday and they'll be here next week. I was tearing up hard pack ice/snow with the rippers and the whole series of upper straps bent just like the OP's. I looked at this post and chuckled. Been there .. just done...

I've been remiss in greasing things during the winter here in Alaska. I warm the grease gun indoors then run out and hit as many zircs as I can. Some will not take grease ( probably frozen) . This week we'll see 40's. Yeah spring is here. Time for some serious spring maintenance. I've found a...

Thanks.

It sounds like the ones with the hip or steep pitch roofs did the trick. Home Depot always seems to sell the cheapest buggers available. As I drive around I see collapsed one every spring. For folks with permit issues down South.., I can feel your frustrations.

This thing does that every couple post. I broke off a zirc on a front ball joint. Have to ez out what's left and then get new one to screw in. What size does Kubota use?

Don't use them where it snows. They do not hold snow and collapse on your machine during an overnight snow (ask me how I know) . Down South where you get little or no snow they're probably fine.

I was going to service my 3901 this afternoon before doing some snow removal. Definitely requires warming up the grease gun. I noticed on one of my front

Check with BRABER Equipment in Abbotsford BC. They've been helpful. They may be able hook you up.

I just ran into something similar with my 3901. I took off the water seperator bowl and that screen and warmed it up and cleaned up (note to self shut of the fuel valve next time)... That helped a little. I ended up changing the main fuel filter and that fixed it. Ice crystals in the fuel...

And I'd made the mistake of taking off the snowblower. Mother Nature got even. Supposed to be below zero this week. Dang this winter is just hanging on. Sure hoping for it to warm up. Envy you folks down South about now.

Life in North Pole AK. We got 18" if new heavy wet snow. Went down the driveway snowblowing. Got buried. Thank goodness for a come along and a not too distant tree. I hate stuck equipment.

Check with places that specializes in gears and bearings. If you can find numbers on your original gear. I did that with my JD 3005. Found the front axle gears cross referenced to a Subaru ( much less $$ than ordering JD) and bearings crossed over to Honda Accord. Many Japanese Company's will...

Both days. Then it's mosquito season.

Thanks. I'll get bolts at the industrial hardware place in Fairbanks.
