    Cleaning ash from wood stove

    I thought I was the only one burning several cords...I'm going through almost 2 a month... We just had a Regency i3100 installed in the fall. If I'm burning seasoned dry oak, then I can empty the ash down to an inch or two at the bottom every couple of weeks...thats considering I burn 24hrs a...

    Kubota preferred as aircraft tugs

    Yes - they do land on the dolly....sometimes it's easy...sometimes it's not. sometimes its fun :)The biggest problem is if the dolly isn't held in place (wheels chocked, etc).....several videos out there to show the fatal results. :(

    Kubota preferred as aircraft tugs

    If he started that Agusta like that....I'd be really concerned..at least Kubota's don't have a tattle tale torque light... :D That's a sharp looking 119...

    Have you had experience with Hendrix Machinery in Georgia?

    Not trying to start a bashing thread but I'm curious if it's just me... It started with looking for a backhoe on Tractorhouse.com. I called in June and spoke to a sales person about an L3830. I was told at that time, it had sold and that they would contact me if something similar came in that...

    Search button

    Yeah I've never had luck with it. I am using Chrome on a Samsung Galaxy S5 for the record. I have better luck searching Google...if I was searching about L2250's I'd type "L2250 site:Orangetractortalks.com " in the Google search bar. Works great.:)

    Don't that beat all....I love watching those guys pull. I got hooked going to truck/tractor pulls a while ago when my cousins were pulling. Queen Annes County has their fair in August and that's when the wife and I go to watch all of the pulls. We were just checking our schedules last night for...

    L2250 spun bearing/rebuild

    Thanks for the replies guys! I stopped by the shop and saw the crank which after being cleaned up is at the very bottom of the factory spec....The crank will be ground down though and will get the next size bearings for all three. The pitting was borderline from what he said - so we are erring...

    Judge has no clue

    I would consider it given the stuff that happens in my neck of the world (Baltimore Riots a year ago) but I'm 18 years into it and only 2 years away from being able to retire :)...Then it will be time to learn and start a career...we shall see. I might stay longer. I have a good spot at this...

    L2250 spun bearing/rebuild

    Also, I am trying to figure how the bearing size or part numbers work. I've got the WSM and the parts manual...but I'm trying to figure it out? The machine shop told me he doesn't always deal with Kubotas...he usually has Chevy etc...so I'm dropping off the specs I found in the WSM...I was...

    L2250 spun bearing/rebuild

    I think it was a combination of low oil and finally giving up after years of neglect. I knew that it was low on oil but I didn't think it was out of oil or enough to calls the bearing to just break one time. The previous day it was run hard during the blizzard for about 6 to 8 hours but I'd run...

    Judge has no clue

    That's a shame that they are trying to do that. That trend is going to continue and has been for a while. Take it from someone whose job keeps them in a courtroom often - the antics that go on between the defense attorneys and judges and suspects would turn your stomach. I'm sure you've seen...
