Finally got some rain over the weekend, so was able to clean out ditches on my upper driveway. Don’t know why I thought a heavy angle blade on a 2500 lb tractor might work with all the rocks we have here in the Ozarks—didn’t even try used the bucket. A little tight and kept close eye on the...

Tall G2 fella at the cabin finally daylighted on Halloween, and he has some mass too:

Of course, I have an 18 yo boy. The second one…

I didn’t intend any insult to folks from other parts of the country, certainly not people from Indiana. She’s not very friendly but he’s a really nice guy. They just don’t know how to drive on hills and don’t take advice on how to do so correctly.

Similar situation here to everyone above. Our transplants however are from a flat Midwest state and our 6/10 mile shared road is very steep with curves. We have 4 others on this road that know how to drive steep gravel roads—SLOWLY—and are all very appreciative. In the two years Indiana...

Interesting—I haven’t downloaded the WSM for this machine yet—bought used—I just change and check fluids, grease annually like all my others. If that’s the case then I would have to say it’s pretty well built. Took ~12 years and 1000 hours to vibrate those grommets loose. Thanks for the info...

Thanks again @whitetiger — parts came in from Coleman today all back together. From my understanding you are a career Kubota mechanic—do you think Kubota would have suggested a new tank or replaced the grommets? Not you personally but Kubota corporate service—just curious.

He was standing just to the left of the forked redbud tree

I had a first today— sitting on the back patio drinking coffee at 7:25 this morning and I see movement up on the hill about 25 yards away. It’s our big 10 point we’ve seen on camera numerous times. He casually walks down the hill, picks me out (I’m standing by now), and just keeps walking...

I would vote bobcat. Looks like it has a longer tail but looking closely I think that is right rear leg extended at end of stride, not the tail.

Nm—slipped out of the tank opening easily with pliers. Rubber is softer than HDPE dummy not going to damage the tank opening.

Thanks @whitetiger — I’m glad those bushings are replaceable. Dumb question: (try to) pull the barb from the old bushing first before popping the bushing out? Seems to me would be a lot easier/more flexible to get out without the rigid barb in place.

And yes the mower is filthy—it’s 18 yo boy wonder’s mower that he won’t take care of or clean until I ride his ass about it repeatedly. And yes he asks me to fix it when something breaks. And yes he’s at gf’s effen out of town vb game today while I am fixing the effen thing. If you know—ya...

Leak isolated coming from the front barb/line connection of fuel line connecting front and rear lower portions of fuel tank—in front of and behind the left rear tire: Removed fuel line from front and rear connections to fuel tank, line is intact: Barbs are metal and are inserted into a rubber...

Fixed the crown and slope on 300 yard driveway section with 7’ angle blade a few weeks ago after a little rain, but still had some undulations and uneven spots as dry as it’s been. From last night to midday today got 3/4” of slow steady rain and now it’s sunny so finished it with box...
