    Another tractor accident… and a question

    Unless it was retrofitted a IH 354 doesn’t have ROPs and FWA wasn’t an option. If the guy in the story had seatbelt and ROPs or had front wheel assist with front wheels engaged, he’d have a lot better shot at still being here. A 74 year old backing down the hill on an early 70’s tractor, likely...

    A little gunsmithing on a hot afternoon

    Since there are people here way, way smarter than I am on this subject, I’m going to ask a stupid question (or two). If the rings aren’t lined up with each other such that they’re trying to bend the scope tube (inducing torque on the scope tube): isn’t that usually remedied by lapping the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Would have donated to FD for a controlled burn if they weren’t buried in trees we very much want to keep for a sight barrier between us and the developments.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    We added about 3.4 acres to our place early last year in a trade with a developer who really, really needed about 10sf of our place to run sewer for his new development. It came with an abandoned well, a half collapsed barn, a garage rotted due to holes in the roof, and a rotten chicken coop...

    Daily Chuckle

    I saw a story on local news a little while back saying he recently moved from Los Angeles, CA to Oak Ridge, NC. I’ve been low key keeping an eye out for him at the Tractor Supply in Oak Ridge (only place we ever go there). Haven’t seen him yet...

    Necessary to Clean Mower Deck After Every Session?

    I blow the grass clippings and any other debris off the mowing deck and rest of the machine after each use. That’s true for my T2290, Cub ZTR, Pennsylvania Panzer, bush hog on the L, wife’s Honda push mower, and any others I may have forgotten. Takes about as long to get out the blower and put...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Mostly a tying up loose ends day for the L today. Started by bush hogging the top and ends of the dam, mostly so I could drop the bush hog and do other things before it got stupid hot. Sorry, no pics. Put the loader back on and ROPs back up. Dropped the bush hog in favor of the trailer mover...

    Top & Tilt Hose Organization

    I looked at mine to maybe see why I’ve never noticed an issue. Obviously I don’t have a quick hitch so it looks a bit different. I second the notion that moving the remotes up is the most likely to successfully provide a better fit. Not likely the hoses from the valves to the bracket will allow...

    What’s with all the SPAM?

    I’ve always heard chocolate is bad for dogs, too. Hasn’t slowed my dark chocolate consumption…🙂

    Wingfoot2

    First time I saw the blimp IRL was some time in the early 80’s. My brother was outside and yelled at us (we didn’t have A/C so the windows of the house were open) that there was a blimp flying over the pasture. By the time we got out there to see it, it was gone. We were all thinking, you’re two...

    What’s with all the SPAM?

    Looks like a hostile party’s attempt to shut down the site. Deere? Mahindra? Kioti????

    Dealer runaround?

    I notice you have a total of two posts, they’re both in this thread, and you joined today. Welcome to the forum. As others have noted, it’s possible as they were readying it for delivery they noted they hadn’t completed the TSB for the cold start smoking and that caused a legitimate...

    White 2-105 pto speed?

    The two speed Whites I’ve dealt with (very little) work like this: Not swearing that’s how the 2-105 works. I think the guy in the video is demonstrating on a 135. But your pic shows 540RPM splines running 1000RPM? And a reverser? I’ve never seen one with a reverser. Looks like you’ve got a...

    A question

    I have no issue with the holiday other than the name is embarrassingly pathetic. “Emancipation Day”, “Abolition of Slavery Day”, “Freedom for All Day”… Juneteenth??? That sounds like a name that came from a bunch of creatively challenged people getting together to come up with a name, couldn’t...

    How did he get injured?

    I understand some divergence from grammatical rules has to be taken at times in writing headlines due to space limitations, but the example in the original post is much longer than a more accurate, “Man injured when shot…”. The quality of writing and editing in news reporting has degraded...

    I know I should have written it down

    One of the best deals I ever got on anything. Went to Lowe’s one night shortly before they closed. Needed two boxes of 4”x48” black rubber base molding for a job in the morning. It was priced about $2.94 each, but most all of it was in full boxes of 24 pieces, a little over $70.56 per box...
