    Warming the spouse up to buying - wasn't prepared for this one!

    Preparing for the day I hope I'll be buying a new tractor, I've been trying to warm Mrs. SmallChange up to the idea. Not that she would have to be involved, exactly -- it's just that anything the size of a small car, that roars, and is bright orange, she's gonna notice. It didn't go so well last...

    Where does your tractor sleep?

    I have a pole barn with plenty of room, bays 10' by 10' by 20' long, but the leaves blow into it and pile up there. The floor is dirt.

The front ag tires are so worn the lugs are no longer present on the centerline. The rear tires look replaced and still have some mold flashing. Would we guess...

    How difficult to replace shift lever on B6200D?

    The main shifter lever on my old B6200D Kubota 4WD tractor just broke off, about as far down as I can see by looking into the top of the transmission case cover. How hard is it to replace the lever? The biggest thing I've ever done on this tractor is to replace the water pump -- is it harder...
