The Canadian firm Tektite still shows a cab for the BX25/BX25D: https://tektite.ca/product/kubota-bx25-deluxe-cab/?cat=16 Not cheap either, but in CAD dollars ($6600 CAD). Shipping will cost as well... It replaces your current ROPS.

It is a standard (local hardware store) grade 5 bolt (3 lines on the head). With it being 1-1/4" long, there is a short solid section, then the threads. By looking at it, the threaded portion is what is at the actual shear point. Do not use a longer bolt, as the solid section will also be longer...

BX25 Manual shows it as 2 separate bulbs (Hazard and Turn), each single filament, but wired in parallel... From what I can find, they are the common 1156 type of automotive bulb

According to manual, the flasher unit is under the front dash, on the left side. In the BX WSM page 6-S22.

If changing things in the router like passwords, you can also hide/disable the SSID broadcast. That is, the wifi does not "advertise" that it exists. The only way you connect to it is you have to know the name of the wifi first, enter it into your laptop "connect to" wifi menu, and then use your...

One further word of advice. Should you get one of these air iron filter units, try to have the backwash discharge straight into a long pipe (2 to 3 feet at least). Never into a pipe with nearby elbow (like 90 degree). What happens during the backwash is that the air is released first, like...

Yes, that is similar to what I use. Regular "filters" do not get rid of dissolved iron in water, one has to inject air (oxygen) to have the iron react to form an oxide of iron which is then "solid" (your red staining), which can then be filtered by the bed in that filter. I had mine serviced...

Turn off your wifi and re-check. It is probably just a nearby wifi signal that your system is seeing. Unless you connect to it, there is no harm that can be done.

I pre-treat my water with an air injection tank (before water softener). That oxidizes the iron portion of the incoming water. It purges every second night. Air injection has different designs, but they all have a vertical tank with a bed to filter the oxidized material. I originally had air...

Congratulations on doing it "right". Just to clarify, your 50A outlet is indeed floating neutral, but the 30A outlet is not, it is bonded (based on schematic in manual). I suspect that 30A outlet is more for portable use with things like travel trailers or portable/remote workshop, not for house...

Either way is dangerous. By putting in a ground rod, your neutral will be grounded at two places 600ft apart. That can create ground loops that actually conduct electricity, and it may be possible that one end of the "ground" will be hotter than the other. Earth ground is not a perfect ground...

They probably use the 4 pin socket because the 240V outlet is a split phase, 120V on each side of neutral, neutral, and a ground. Things like a dryer 3 pin plug is 240V only, there is no neutral, just the 2 hot phases for 240V and a ground. I did a quick look around at that generator and a...

I see something about GFCI breakers on that generator, that would need that 4th wire to work. True about 3 different opinions. But an electrician that installs home generators and transfer switches should know which is which. You could maybe ask the manufacturer if the neutral is floating or...

Residential electrical must have one and only one "ground" in the entire system (in most jurisdictions). So the answer also depends if the generator has an isolated ground (and floating neutral), or if the ground/neutral are tied together in the generator. Most "portable" generators have the...
