    3 Point Problem

    Understood, just wondering if there is anything else I should look for.

    3 Point Problem

    Trying to troubleshoot reason my 3 point on my L175 bleeds down even with the motor running. Checked my manual, but it's not much on trouble shooting. I'm very familiar with the hydraulics on my 640 Ford, but not so much on the K. Here's the story. This problem just started. I have a 480lb...

    PTO Powered Log Splitter

    My son built this one. That's live oak he's splitting. http://vimeo.com/105803462

    PTO Powered Log Splitter

    You're better off buying a stand alone. You have the PTO power, but the cycle time on one will put you to sleep.

    How Can you tell the year of your Kubota?

    Not all tractors. My old 640 Ford numbers tell me model, year made and more. My L175 has no pedigree numbers, best guess, between 1972 and 1977?

    hydraulics

    I've heard the term was used in reference to the balls on the throttles of WWII planes. When they were pushed all the way forward it was "balls to the walls". Take your choice.

    proper box blade operation?

    That's when a hydraulic top link comes in handy.

    We obviously don't try to have enough "fun" with our tractors.

    Or this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnXov7P7a04

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Used the FEL on my L175 to support (to insert cribbing) the front of my 640 F**d when I split it to replace the starter ring gear.

    AM/FM headphones for music and protection.

    Isn't that like an oxymoron? Substitute one noise for another?

    Homemade Plow

    Not ever having plowed snow, just wondering why "float" on the loader won't help.

    AM/FM headphones for music and protection.

    Bought these a while back. I'm far enough from civilization that AM stations and most FMs won't come in most of the time. These along with my iPhone I can listen to tunes, iHeart radio or Pandora. Best thing is, there is no cord to catch on everything...

    Thanks, appreciate it.

    Steering Box Adjustment

    I've got excess play at the steering wheel on my L175. Checked the manual to see about an adjustment bolt (as on most other tractors) but there isn't anything that's clear cut on doing it. I see the shimming procedure, but that's about it. Not at the tractor location today, but will be next...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Wasn't today, it was last weekend. Nothing like a front end loader to move a new birdfeeder pole around. Also put a new pair of shoes on the front.

    Log Splitter....

    And yet people think nothing of having their hands near saw blades, wood lathes and other rotating machinery. By the way, getting up (if your still alive) in the morning can be dangerous to. :)

    Log Splitter....

    Well, he got it finished today, and it works. This is some fresh cut Spanish Oak, and it's sorta stringy. Tomorrow is the real test, getting some Live Oak which was cut several years ago. Their sale was banned here in states in the early 80's because there was no way to shut it off, but they are...

    Log Splitter....

    My son will be building one of these this weekend. He bought the kit on eBay, driveshaft, bearings and cone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Rypb1dcUE

    FEL and Float

    Yep, the two previous owners knew nothing about it.
