My Locksmith buddy has had this heavy double safe in storage for years. It was time to get it out of storage and try to get it open. He bought it at a government surplus sale years ago with no known combination. The story had it being moved between two different AirForce bases by a disgruntled...

In light of the recent interest in lost keys & replacement keys, I’ll offer my lost key experience for some good laughs at my own expense. This happened to me a year ago and kind of resembles the old “Field & Stream” magazine articles titled, “This Really Happened to Me!!” This event includes...

Still to be finished and painted, here’s my backhoe dolly for the BH77 used behind my B2650. It’s been in the unfinished “prototype” version waiting for any changes for a number of years. No changes needed so now I just need to finish some welds and finally get it painted…. one day. But with...

It’s been too windy to spray for weeds the past couple of days…..so it was finally time to make a dedicated 3 pt bracket to mount the 25 gallon Fimco sprayer on behind the B2650. Here’s what I came up with after raiding the scrap metal bin: The bottom platform is 1.5” angle iron. The uprights...

Here’s the new BX winter front cover that will fit all the BX ’80 series compact tractors, including the BX23S. This is a one-piece cover that attaches with concealed magnets to the air intake grill work below the steering wheel. And just like the other covers available, it requires no tools...

A few Grand L6060 tractor owners have asked me if my L3560 winterfront kit would fit their larger '60 series tractor. I wasn't sure....even though I was led to believe that they would. Thanks to Tad and his nice pictures, we now have a definite answer to that question. Here's a couple of pics...

A year ago I convinced a brother to buy a nice used BX2230, complete with a bunch of attahments. One of which was a front mount snowblower. I made up this chute rotation kit for a Christmas gift and before Christmas came....he sold the snowblower! Thought I'd offer it up for sale to anyone in...

Once in a while, the wind isn’t right for the AgriMetal pto leaf blower to handily move the leaves in the direction I’d like. Can’t wait because weather forecasts predict rain/snow conditions to make things even worse. Or, it might just be easier to push the large leaf windrow to a collection...

Since we both have a lot of hedges to maintain and border trimming for mowing around our properties, my neighbor and I invested in a Samurai Sabre Cutter between us. For now, it’ll be mounted and used on my B2650. The standard mount is made to clamp to any loader bucket. But with the thinner...

The mention of “using a microscope” by JohnDB in another thread got me thinking….I use mine every now and then for inspections and fine detail work. Here is the auction site that I purchased it and many other items through…..some at tremendous savings. This auction site serves various...

At different times here on OTT and on other tractor forums, there’s a statement commonly made concerning the differences between the two types of added ballast. Like an urban legend, the statement made that seems to be turning into a “rural” legend is that the weight of a solid wheel weight is...

In my large storage shed (14’ sidewalls) there’s a mezzanine on the end wall on each half of the shed. It’s getting tougher to haul stuff up and down the ladder or finding help to move stuff up/down from there. I had an “Aha!!” moment just the other day. I remembered a few pieces of light I-beam...

Kubota B2601 Winter Front Covers Now Available thanks to an OTT member’s help! This also is a 3piece set sewn to custom fit the B2601’s front grill opening and match the hood’s side contours and covering those vented areas as well. Like the other sets available, these are also easy on/off with...

I was asked to make a set of winter front covers for this person’s Kubota L3560 Limited Edition tractor that he had just taken delivery of. That is one NICE tractor. I believe one plan for it is in his snow removal business, hence the covers. He let it sit in my shop for a week to work up the...

Just found an older Kubota BX2230 in great shape with quite a few attachments that I am picking up for a family member. The tractor comes with loader, MM mower, 3pt tiller, front snow blower, pto leaf vac/bagger, and pine needle rake. I'm wondering if anybody has a pdf copy of the BX2230 WSM...

In the fall of 2020, I purchased a heavy duty EFGC125 Flail mower from Betstco. It did some serious trail blazing through our heavily brushed woods and worked flawlessly. The first mistake was not carefully walking all the proposed routes while looking for half buried rocks, scrap metal, etc. in...

I’ve been brushing and cleaning up windbreaks and woods lately. With the recent threads on chain/pole saws it dawned on me while using my 40 yr old brush cutter to post this mod I made years ago. Some will find it interesting and someone might even say, “Hey, I can do that to my idled...

If you're in need of replacement teeth for your WG24 Stump Grinder, here's an alternate source: Special (gabdon.com) I touched a piece of buried rebar while recently grinding and it instantly ruined 8 teeth. A set of 6 replacement teeth from Woodland mills is $124 with the $25 shipping charge...

After cutting & clearing a 700 ft. swath of brush, small trees, and a few larger trees along the back side of a row of pine trees, it was time to start grinding all the stumps. I bought a back up camera earlier but never really finished installing it as i only ground a few stumps at a time...

I should have done this at least 10 years ago but hopefully it will help prolong my stay that much more by saving my back. Working off of a creeper is getting much harder every year that goes by. This is a 9000 lb. 4 post Advantage lift. The extended model. After looking at most all the lifts...
