Substitute "state" for "city" and you might be on to something. Those that spent all their lives driving on pavement are less likely to understand what happens to a gravel road subjected to a heavy foot. Amazon drivers are the worst around here. The pay must be crap because they seem to all...

LOL. Clearly the only reason for you to use your tractor to maintain the road is so you could use your tractor to steal their hay! You are obviously guilty as sin. Question: Did you do it all in one trip? If so, did you tow the hay wagon behind the blade or hook the blade to the back of the...

That seems to be pandemic on AliExpress and similar Asian sites. The vendor offers a variety of "colours" to get around the pathetic limitations on "bait and switch" tactics. The text describes the item you want but the price is for the cheapest "colour" -- in reality a different and lesser...

Put in a speedbump just before his house. ;-) I also live on a private road. Mine is the first property from the municipal road and the private road bordering my place includes a curving hill. When I moved in 30 years ago it was just dirt, unimproved over it's 30 years of existence and crowned...

I didn't watch the whole video, but the title screen shows it split at the wrong spot to access the clutch. It needs to be split between the engine and transmission for this purpose.

From your description and investigations, I don't think this is the problem, but... When I got my B7100, the previous owner told me the clutch didn't release properly. Now, mine is the HST version so it didn't take off down the road when started, but the PTO had to be engaged prior to starting...

My tinfoil hat agrees.

I agree the tank needs replacement. I disagree that you have to give Kubota $1,000 for another plastic one. I'd investigate custom-making a new tank from tig-welded aluminium plate, using the old one as a template. It'll still probably cost you $1,000 at the fab shop but in the end you' have a...

But but but: It might be Visa or Amex! "We noticed some suspicious transactions on your card. Just give us your name and card number so we can verify it's really you on the phone..." lol

My pet peeve is cashiers making change. Whatever happened to counting it out? "Your purchase comes to $14.79. That's 14.80, 15, and 5 makes 20." Then put the bill in the till. Now they just dump a bunch of change in your hand (or on the counter) and say "Thankyou, come again". Of course, that...

There's a lot of opportunity for "weird" when it comes to the 7 round pin trailer connector. I've come across 3 different and conflicting patterns -- there may be more. The largest pin #1) might be ground or left hand tail/markers. The centre pin might be reverse lights or left hand...

Just because a nut threads on does not mean the thread fits. Undersize threads fit in the nut too, so you're right to measure the final result. I have a set of the original precision ground Pee Dee wires from Fisher machine and also a 0-1" thread mic. The thread mic is faster, the wires are...

Looks like some custom mods to that impeller?

That brings back memories of watching the steamers prep at the round-house near the stockyards as a young boy. Hours of noise and smells; coal dust and steam. Shouts and clangs and rumbles and whistles echoing over the noise of livestock unloaded next door. The unique odours of lubricating oil...

That's more for assembling a shaft itself; U-joints have to be in phase with each other. But if you are not disassembling the shaft then you should be fine.
