    Damn! I feel like a newby.

    Take mine off and on all the time on a mostly level, sort of firm, gravel pad. Sometimes it takes a little wiggling around, but have never spent more than 5 minutes putting it back on and I probably take it off and on 20-25 times a year.

    White 2-105 pto speed?

    I’m confused by your question!!! You are asking if the tractor you posted a picture of can use 540 because it has 1000, but the picture you posted is 540 PTO shaft!!! Is your picture not the actual tractor or are you confused??

    How to switch boom for stick control

    Someone must have swapped it already because the Kubota backhoe uses the same pattern as JD and Case. They probably changed the hoses on the valves themselves. You are most likely going to have to trace hoses and see where each one goes, then swap them around.

    Mounting Brackets for drive over deck

    That’s a BX series mower deck, I don’t believe that you will be able to make it fit your B7500.

    Kubota hydraulic fluid fill

    Have you read your owners manual? The loader runs off the tractor hydraulics so you don’t have a separate reservoir for oil, only the one that the tractor has.

    Are the exhibits all on loan? Or does the museum own them?

    JD 7130 engine failure at 4600 hours

    Is this you and the same tractor? If so, you didn’t mention in this thread that this tractor has bigger engine issues. https://www.greentractortalk.com/threads/john-deere-7130-mystery-issues-continues-but-worse.232344/

    Is the PTO shaft coming off Kubota and JD tractors common 1-3/8?

    The 1-3/8”, 6 spline 540RPM rear shaft was industry standardized by American Society of Agricultural Engineers in 1938. It is usually used on equipment rated for 85-90HP or less. Above that power rating, a 1-3/8” 21 spline 1000RPM shaft is used and for high power requirements, a 1-3/4” 20 spline...

    Sometimes you need to enjoy life. If continually squirreling away all your money and never spending it makes you happy, then go for it. But sometimes you need to treat yourself to a nice purchase and enjoy life because when the end comes, what is the point of having a mountain of cash if you...

    Nice tractors. I believe front wheels were Flambeau Orange like the tractor. Although some restorations people paint the centers orange and the rim silver. The pictures are great too.

    Kubota backhoes Do Not require rear remotes, they use a dedicated pair of lines, 1 pressure,1 return. These lines are constantly flowing pressurized hydraulic oil and must be connected together when removing the backhoe.

    Mid Mount Mower blades

    On my B2920, I use the loader and a chain to pick the mower up and then use my impact wrench to remove the blades. With the impact wrench, the bolts spin right off without having to block the blades. Put them back on the same way. The vent in the gearbox will not leak out any gear oil as long as...

    Dipping toes in the world of Welding

    Another thing to consider, if you are going to be welding outside or working on old rusty equipment, a stick welder will perform better. MIG welding doesn’t work well in the wind because the wind blows the gas away. For older, rustier equipment, stick welding with 6011 rod works much better. On...

    Dipping toes in the world of Welding

    Before spending money on a machine, find a way to try your hand at welding. Whether it be a neighbor that lets you try or taking a class at a community college or a Vo-tech center. You might find that you like stick better than mig or vise versa. You might find you hate doing it. That way, you...
