Power washed the mmm on the B1700. Too much mud after the last 2 weeks trying to mow. Wife will never be able to tell where I did it!

Finally got around to installing the suspension seat on the B3200. Ordered it back in November. Thanks to 3.5” of rain, not much else could be done. Easy removal, two pins, and four bolts and the seat is off. Had to remove the safety switches for the seat and PTO. New base required some new...

What I did off my Orange today. I ordered a replacement seatbelt for the B1700. Easy off easy and on. Decided to do a porter mortem on the original and this is what I found. Dirt had piled up in the mechanism preventing it from being pushed in far enough to unlatch. Used a pick and an air hose...

A few more photos of the lift. It can be mounted to the floor if needed. I like being able to move it if needed and I wasn’t able to get any movement when shaking the truck. The center poles act like a cam. Raise it up around 8 inches and attach the wheels. When you lower it down it lifts the...

Ordered it off Northern Tools it is a Katool 7000 lb scissor lift. I believe the height is 39” at full height. Great for doing brakes and any of the fluids. Center is clear to walk or work under. 120v/30A. You can permanently attach to the floor or attach wheels and move it (not easily) when...

Not sure why I waited so long but I got a scissor lift and used it for the first time to do a tire rotation and oil change. My back is thanking me. Rated to 7000lbs

Boy talk about making a post and ignoring it. I am planning on putting a couple 2x2 cleats to hold the tank in the center and adding some eye hooks to wratchet strap it down when transporting for fuel. When it is on the barn floor, straps would be off. Still working my 30 gal Arksen tank to...

I stayed with my tool of choice and got a Ryobi grease gun. I put the Locn N lube end on it and it works great for getting not only my FEL but all the MMM zerks. I also have five manual grease guns.

I did a treatment of permethrin last weekend and the pups haven’t brought in a tick since. They were coming in with 2-3 to very time they went out in the yard. Not sure how quickly it kills them but they were knocked down pretty good. Will do another treatment around Memorial Day. I do the...

Multitasking today. Took the opportunity to throw on some ribs. Not pretty but they sure are tender and juicy. Beans were doctored up with some of my bacon offcuts

My turn. Finished the driveway, out by the road and the trails. Can’t get in to the woods due to blow downs. That is for another weekend

Boss is mowing and I’m on tick duty

Looking for a seat belt latch that will fit my B1700. Kubota gives it part # 6c040-72252. Thanks

They are just about 3/8 from the wall on all sides. Half inch quarter round will cover the gap. Carpet was just after we emptied the room and the pups were overjoyed.

I had my saw station in the small garage. Chop saw and jig saw. Not a lot of waste but I hear you on the up/down. This click lock stuff is not my favorite. Hard cutting and a lot of dust. I’d rather do tongue and groove and nail/staple it in. That being said, wood was almost 3x the cost and the...
