    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Found what I thought was another septic tank on the yard. Turns out it is just connected to my shop's floor drains. It is an old fuel oil tank (one of those 2'x6'x4' steel tanks) that was about a foot under my driveway. Surprisingly it hadn't collapsed with all the heavy equipment I've had...

    Pay no attention to this post

    Looks pretty good from here in Canuckistan... Here, the federal gov't wants my guns and my income, the provincial govt wants my kids and what's left of my income, and the local government wants to block the oil pipeline that pays for everything. And even in the countyside here we have people...

    Kubota B1700 Starting Issue

    Check the ground, check the clutch safety switch. My first go to's everytime. It's usually a bad ground.

    head lights

    My local NAPA had Night Rider round LED equipment lights. I bought two for my L245DT, removed the old headlights completely, and bolted the LEDs into the bezel. Lost the Hi/Lo, but who cares?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Loaned out my L245 to my brother as his BX is physically too small for the sicklemower he just bought. Then he broke the sickle mower.

    Noob with a Bad Habit Already: Mea Culpa, but...

    I don't have a loader on my 2wd, and yesterday I used it to move some trailers around the yard. When I jumped off I must have kicked the brake pedals, and they disengaged and my flatdeck and tractor rolled 6 feet and knocked over my auger. Oops. X100 on parking brake double check!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have been using my bush hog behind the L245 to keep the grass down while I wait for parts for my Stiga Park Pro lawnmower. Sure isn't the same finish!

    Replacing stock headlight bulbs with LED

    Yes but the bezel is concave and the 3" ones fit nicely inside with room for the bracket and everything so they are more flush. If you cut that bezel out you could put a 4" round LED lamp inside and maybe a little piece of angle inside to bolt the bracket to.

    Replacing stock headlight bulbs with LED

    For us owners of older school Kubotas (first gen L series, etc), pop out the entire round headlight assembly from the bezel, replace with a round, sealed LED unit of the same size (I used Night Rider 3" LEDS from my local NAPA), bolted through a hole in the bezel. If you drill the hole in the...

    7Blacksmiths? Titan? Backhoe thumb - anybody heard of them?

    I bought a cheap bolt on thumb from Amazon. It was for a 1/2" wider stick, so I welded a piece of 3/16 plate on each side of the stick with holes to correspond to the bolt on bracket of the thumb. It's been very handy for lifting big rocks out of holes when digging. When not in use you can...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Bought an old Massey auger/post hole digger. Unfortunately, the ROPS on my 2wd L245 change the geometry and it doesn't work. I'll have to try it with my 4wd L245 but I can't be bothered to remove the backhoe right now.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I took the RTV out for a ride with the kids and did some exploring. Impressed at where it will go even just in 2WD (but I did use the diff lock). The ITP Mudlite tires are awesome too! Snow coming tonight so it's plugged in - I installed a Kat's heater in the lower rad hose - so it should...

    wow, the unicorn does exist

    That's true. There's a 15ton Komatsu excavator 2 hrs away from me for $10k Canadian right now. My wife would not be impressed.

    Fixer-Upper 2011 RTV900

    The knocking may still be an injector problem. I tore them down and cleaned them and have more power but it still knocks. I will see about getting some new injectors but they are over 200 each. The centre injector has a leak around the base and bubbles/loses compression. May need some of...

    Rest of the box will be usable on the new base - under construction. The snow plow had a bad switch and some cracks in the frame which I welded up

    It's rusty. I took off the box and cut off the base, cut out the floor, and found out which wheels were rotten.

    Around here the scams are a dead giveaway - the pics never have mountains in them, and that's pretty hard for BC
