Just received a recall notice from my dealer in the mail today. It’s dated 12/01/22. Seems unusual for a dealer to send a recall and not the manufacturer. Also doesn’t address me by name but To whom it may concern. It starts out referring to an open recall on my Kubota SLV-65 2HFWC. Which I...

I would like to Thank the person that posted a solution to a problem that I’m sure has plagued many of us. Whoever recommended sanding or roughing up the surface of the plastic dipstick for checking the level of hydraulic fluid for the transmission is a genius! I can now read the level of...

I have a B2650hsdc that I recently started using the rear PTO on a wood chipper. My question is, is there a way to put the PTO into a neutral position, so that when I’m trying to connect the PTO shaft to the chipper it can be rotated to align the splined shaft? It is a real pain to rotate the...

I’m thinking about installing rear remotes for my box blade. I wasn’t smart enough to have them installed before delivery, and have no way to get my tractor back to the dealer, I will have to do it myself. I already have a Kubota third function that was dealer installed, as well as a B77...

I decided to add an hour meter to keep track of the PTO hours so I can do a better job of maintaining my snowblower. It has a 4 hour interval for chain lubrication, and a 20 hour interval for greasing the drive shaft, and u joints. I already keep a maintenance journal to record all operating...

I’ve owned my tractor for more than two years now, and for the entire time I have been wanting to carry my chainsaw and tool box on the tractor the whole time. I think I have finally found a solution to the problem. One of my requirements is to have it mounted to the tractor, and not to any...

While doing the 400 Hour Service Maintenance, I also changed the coolant per the manual. While draining the coolant I noticed that the radiator wasn’t sitting right in the mounting grommets. On further inspection I saw that the fan blade had hit the shroud and had melted the blades on the...

Got tired of having my quick connects on my grapple not pushing onto the third function connectors because the grapple sits in the sun and raises the pressure in the lines. So I fabricated a pressure release tool to make it simple to let the pressure off the hoses. I looked online at...

I need help with how to private message another member. I think I know how but would not want to do it without knowing I have done it correctly, as to not having my comment end up publicly posted. I think by clicking on the little envelope on the upper right of the screen then typing in the...

I have had my B2650HSDC for almost 2 years and have had a intermittent seat switch problem almost from the begining. Because I have no way to get my tractor back to the dealer to have the seat switch replaced under warranty, I have had the seat switch bypassed since late summer. Well I have...

Decided to add hydraulic chute deflection to my snowblower. Starting out with wood patterns, and now that all of the geometry and dimensions are correct, I will proceed with the final metal version. I purchased a cylinder from Northern Tool which has a one inch longer stroke than the OEM...

I needed to repaint my logging arch that I built 9 years ago. I still had some of the original paint left over, so that is what I used. After the second coat of paint, it looked real close to the color of a bracket that was unused from my Kubota snowblower. I brushed two coats right over the...

After getting my EA Wicked grapple better than a month ago, I knew I would need a guard to protect the plastic front grill of the tractor from getting destroyed. I have seen several other members solutions to the same problem, and I have used their ideas to come up with my own design. I liked...

I want to install a hydraulic cylinder to the deflection chute and need the bore size and stroke length for that function. I'm guessing it is a 2 inch bore with a 6 or 8 inch stroke? Also any pictures of the mounting brackets for both ends of the cylinder would be greatly appreciated. I plan...

So this is my first winter with a diesel tractor and everything I've read on this forum says to use anti-gel additive this winter which I have already treated my fuel with. My question is if the fuel gels with cold temps, does it un-gel when it warms up again? Is it like water turning to ice...

Ok, so from what I have learned from this site is that I should NOT use Teflon tape on any hydraulic fitting. So I need to assemble a front snow blower, and there are several hydraulic fittings that need sealant. So what is the correct type of sealant,? Just a pipe dope that I would normally...

I'm just about ready to order a front mount snowblower for my B2650HSDC, and the cost of the hydraulic chute deflection is a very expensive option. I will get the hydraulic chute rotation as I feel it is worth it, but will I regret not getting the hydraulic deflection? For those that have a...

Can someone explain why in my Operator's Manual for my BH77 backhoe it specifically warns not to use liquid ballast in the rear tires while the BH77 is attached? I was interested in adding beet juice to my rear tires for stability and traction, but this is not recommended with the backhoe...

Well I have 50 hours on my B2650HSDC now, so today I did the first oil and filter change. I ordered all the needed supplies from my dealer a couple weeks ago in anticipation of hitting 50 hours. $160.00 for all delivered. Oil change went ok, except getting the original engine filter off was...
