3 or 4 bolt, 3/8 or 7/16 threaded bolt, looks like they take the same bearings. One mower a nearly 20 year old 42 inch uses 3 bolt spindles with 3/8 fine thread bolt to hold the blades on, the other mower from about 2015 uses 4 spinde to deck bolts with 7/16 fine thread blade bolt. Both have...

2 gallons low on coolant?

Already did the value lash. Ain't the valves. The engine is old, like 20 years old, has the old style cyclone air cleaner. Air filter was improperly installed and was sucking in some dirt when I bought it for $50. It was an air compressor most of that time. Then I got a hold of it gave it a good...

I have a single cylinder yanmar diesel with aluminum block and head with copper bore gasket, 4 bolts 10x1mm thread I can't find the exact engine manual I know the torque pattern, for a single 4 bolt it's stupid easy. But I don't know the torque, I'm thinking based on other engines do about 85nM...

Here is a rail road track anvil I built up with 10018 welding rod. Milling it was breaking bits. So I figure I'll anneal and normalize it. Got it brightly orange hot for at least 2 hours and I'll let it cool slowly all night.

I have a Honda clone made by kohler on my log splitter. A 196cc. It runs real rich. There's soot around the exhaust. I'm at 4,400ft above sea level and use ethanol free gas, so yeah she a bit rich. I ordered the "high altitude kit" from my friendly local everything dealer, a month ago. You think...

In your opinion what is the best brand of pillow block bearing for longevity in 1 inch size? I need ones that seal up for my stump grinder. Dirt gets inside them I get accelerated wear spinning at 2,400rpm. Mainly on the pulley side bearing the one that sees the most stress. I have less than 10...

I was not looking for anything wheel or tire related when I came across this. https://www.agwheelexpress.com/store/c207/small-tractor-plate-wheels/p2698/5x-14-6-hole-kubota-l185dt-front-wheel/ I seem to remember trying to find some of these a few years ago and none were to be had.

Anyone ever try a brush hog with 4 of those big cutter blades? If so did 4 blades chop up the brush better?

I tried to make mower blades that last longer by welding the underside of the blade with various hard face rods. Homogeneous high alloy filler "impact resistant" rod seemed to help some on mower blades. The chromium carbide crystal hard face fillers "abrasion resistant" rod tend to crack, on a...

The manual shows the both steering rod tie rods on the L185DT as being the same. But if your tractor has ever had the steering box replaced it has a small tie rod on the pitman arm end that was discontinued by kubota a long time ago. I'm assuming the replacement steering boxes are all L245 with...

It may seem difficult because external voltage regulator alternators are a mess to wire but it's super easy to go to an internally regulated one once you remove the unneeded old alternator and voltage regulator wires. To cut out the old alt and regulator you have to rewire the oil light and the...

Is the front bumper tow hook actually used with any other accessories? I removed mine and found the 5 bolts that hold it on are a bit of an odd size, 12x1.5mm. They got a little rusty so the threads on the bolt were chewed up, so I ordered new stainless replacement flange bolts and a 12x1.5 tap...

My wheels are starting to rust through around the valve stem. I would rater not wait for the tube to below before I try to find new ones. I could go to a different width wheel just have to keep the same diameter since my tractor has 4wd. Same thing on the backs, but it looks like I have some...

When I pulled off the control panel to replace the steering box I found some burned wires and rubbed through wires. It's the glow plug wires of course are burned and some others, might have been head light wires. Since I switched over to a GM 12SI alternator I don't need most of the 6 wires...

Mostly my fault I guess, only had the tractor less than 3 years and the oil ran out of the steering box, then it got water in it, the water froze and blew out the bottom of the steering box. So check your steering box oil, if it won't hold oil pump it full of grease. If your tractor is out side...

I bought a rusty 3 point 6 foot wide blade from the local tractor auction for $40. It was worn, rusted and needed some love. First thing I did was drop the wear blade held on with eight 5/8 inch plow bolts. Most of those snapped off or I had to cut them off. So I built the wear blade back up...

I have been filling trailer tires with a half and half mix of CO2 and R-404a. After spending $350 for a new tubeless rear tire and a tube replacement on the other tire, just dry rot it looks like, I put my mix in them. The wheels have been back on there for almost a week now and still holding my...

Now that I got mine there are 2 left for old 185, 175, possibly others. Mine was $203 with sales tax. I don't know if they will no longer be available or if the price is going up.

I happened to notice the head lights weren't working. Look at the lights and see the wire is just cut. So I get some wire and power a light directly off the battery, no luck. Upon closet inspection I see they are clearly burned out. Take the bulb out and right away I realize have never seen...
