Here in south central Wisconsin a front page report of a 4 year old killed after falling off a 4 wheeler pulling a water tank, with the tank running over him. A common thing I guess, but tragic. What does it take to educate folks about kids and dangers?

Another posting here about Farm house crawl space, etc. has discussion about instating drains to protect that area. I have posted several lengthy discussions there about the proper construction of drains for foundation protection and similar facilities. As you read the posts there pay...

At some 242 hours on a BX purchased in summer 2010 I have more than my share of fuel related problems. I blame some on using a biocide and maybe some plugging in fuel tank. Also fuel filters seemed to load up too early. However, along the line I switched fuel pumps such that factory supplied...

As some of you may note I have been struggling with stalling ever since purchase and now about 225 hours on ths BX. Currently will be trying to verify if there has been air sucked into the system, starving the engine. However, even before that I'll attempt to measure fuel pump pressure. This...

My BX has had nothing but trouble with fuel and stoppages from early on. Plugged fuel filters, tank cap not venting, pump may weak, bad fuel, etc. Now with only 220 hours on it I installed an outboard larger fuel filter to minimize the head ache of changing the filter that sits under the...

Been struggling with plugged fuel filter on my BX which now has only 220 hrs. Managed to get 100 hrs on first filters but only by keeping the tank near full. Since then got 42 hrs on filters, then 28, 15, 15, finally 22 hours. Before the last 22 hours I removed the tank, and did the best I...

My brother, now dead, built two tractors 4 x 4 and all wheel steer. He used the front ends of junked Jeeps. My son liked the idea so he latched on to two front ends from Blazers. Also bought a new engine and a transmission. Did a lot of planning, etc. I helped by starting with axles...

When reassembling the BX for servicing the tank, the fender had to be removed, requiring both handles to have the rear bolts taken out. When reassembling, my helper torqued the rear bolt on right handle a little too much and the insert came loose from the plastic handle. Note the flimsy...

I've been using STA-BIL BIOCIDE and not sure it is any good. Have had BX tractor filters plug at few hours use as little (as 20 hrs) from something, but opening them up I see nothing significant. Leaving the container in the garage at 45 degrees it gels up and won't pour. Any thoughts?

At 200 hours I decided to remove the fenders and maybe the fuel tank. Reason is that this BX has had many stoppages and partly plugged fuel filters and the most recent stoppage was at 20 hours on new filters, with a half filled tank. Fill the tank and it kept going, as had been the practice...

Hey folks: With the RNC backing out of the next presidential debate, will the other media stand by to protect their buddies so none of the three networks will sponsor for the Repubs? What a fiasco that last one was.

This is a junk yard demonstration of a well built basic thing inside a piece of sheet metal. Posted on an engineering site it was deleted because it didn't deal with engineering. I dispute that. This was a well thought out design that even when really mistreated showed its stuff inside a...

Today my friendly neighbor hood policeman stops in. All I could figure was maybe one of my kids has been in a wreck. No such bad luck. He says my cell phone is open on a 911 line. Both of our cell phones had been turned off for a few days now. He said the satellites triangulated on my...

I see several users here have the BX and maybe larger with back-hoe. How much use are the back-hoes getting for the bucks involved? Is renting a skid steer with back-hoe an option instead? I know they make a good rear weight, but at what cost. Maybe some discussion here will help those in...

I have been researching what to do about frequent need for fuel filter replacement. Old threads show a filter from Hastings model GF2 has been used. It is mainly an automobile filter, but they show i for reveal off road manufacturer. I will be testing one to see if the flow of fuel through...

Sticky: and others: Is it necessary for the Green folks to take over some threads with their green ad? Go on some of the threads and this damn thing comes on with music and no way to eliminate it. Green folks should know by now to irritate tractor users is no way to get them to look at their...

They say that the kids doing texting have new languages that cuts short the amount of key stokes needed, yet still understandable. Ham radio operators using Morse Code have done this for years, yet how many of us would know what is meant by the numbers 73? (Best wishes)? There is one...

I accidentally found another Kubota forum board. It sure is full of comments. http://www.ssbtractor.com/wwwboard/ You need to do a little moving around there to find the Kubota discussions.

A lot near me is being cleared for a new building, so I stopped and took a few shots. The operator says it is not big enough, but he has cleared what appears to be an acre or so in one day. Most trees were 2" or less, but some bigger guys fell. Note the one 4 inch tree that he gave up on...
