    Wow it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Krusty is all back together and has been a great addition. I found a 60” deck that works better than I though. I have also found a front mount for a dirt/snow blade. I am currently fabing my garden way blade to fit. I also just bought a swisher dirt...

    I had thought about anchor bolts. The draw back is that the bolt exerts outward pressure to hold it in place. I think that pressure will break the plastic. I have used epoxy method before. This was 20 years ago.

    Here are a couple of picks from the other night. The bolts and retainers stripped out of the fender guides/handles. They are close to $50 a side. If they were broken I could see replacing. So I am filling the holes with epoxy. I will drill and tap the epoxy. I am not sure it will work but I...

    Well it’s time for a progress update. I have made a lot of progress since my last posting. A majority of parts have been wire wheeled, primed, and painted. The biggest issue I had was selecting the proper gray paint. I was going to go with the Kubota gray paint from the dealer. I knew that...

    Thanks for all the comments. I have been breaking bolts for many years. I have always loved taking stuff apart and fixing it. I have an air compressor with an impact gun and a air chisel. I the past I had even more air driven stuff. My dad borrowed my air compressor for a project in 1998...

    So I have figured on a place to stop. I will dismantle everything I can up to the steering tower. So much less rust/damage from that point forward. I have started to back out the rearend bolts. There are 8 on each side. the bolts for some reason aren’t the same size. The four inner bolts...

    Well it is time for an update. Krusty has made her way into my shop for surgery. She has a ton of rust on her as you can see from the pics. It seem like everything on the rear of the tractor needs sanding and painting. I have been slowly removing parts and repainting them. I have located some...

    Thank you all for the welcome. I have been working on ”Krusty” since the day I brought her home. I only have two things to free up now. The deck height adjustment knob is still seized up. The flow control for the 3pt hitch is still seized up. everything else works as it should. I have...

    60" deck on a BX1860/1870 - it works!

    I have been looking for a post like this. I bought a bx1860 that didn’t have any attachments. 54” decks haven’t come up for sale that often, but I have seen a few 60” decks. This is a great post. TY for posting

    Well I have been looking at Kubota tractors for a couple of years now. I was never sure on which model I wanted. I always debated between the BX and the B series. Well this past weekend I found a posting selling a BX1860 with a hard sided cab no other attachments. The price was good and the...
