I saw this on Tractor Mike's channel and thought I'd share it. I'm starting to use my tractor a lot now that it's all back together and well, I'd like to keep it and ME together!

Hi All- So as you know I'm in the process of restoring my L35 and currently redoing the loader, The loader - for the bucket uses 6 bushings (4 in frame and 2 in cylinders) that are NLA. To make matters worse, the bushings are only used in the TL720 loader. The part number is 75582-58790...

The last abused section of my TLB restoration is the front loader. Worn pins, worn bushings and totally rusted pins are my nemesis. There's no getting this bucket off any other way than cutting pins - and that I did. And no way to do it easily. Several hours of sawing, blade changing, and strong...

Wishing y'all a great Christmas and great New Year. May any tractor issues you may have be small, easy and cheap to fix!! I appreciate everyone's thoughts and assistance on this forum.

Hi All- In the continuing saga of the bucket cylinder rebuild, I thought I'd share a trick for opening the Kubota "front face hole" cylinders. I am constantly frustrated by the crappy gland tools available and so I made mine. But that's not the trick. In most cases a gland tool slides out of...

Hi All- I have nearly finished going thru my backhoe (BT900) and down to the ugly business of stuck pins. Pins so stuck it takes a mortar shell to loosen. I thought I'd post this with a short summary to anyone who hasn't checked their pins in some time. This pin is used to attach the bucket...

Hi All- Back around April I showed some pictures of the rebuild of the swing cylinders on my backhoe. Since then I've been busy building a barn for the tractor and now am getting ready to do some digging for French drains. Thus, I needed to get the cylinders installed in the machine and after...

Neil is back with a $27K lawnmower to show. He covers the new engine and compares to the various models in the Z series. Wow! That's a lot of cabbage!

Hey All, Have you seen some of the new implements and various attachments being discussed on some of the Youtube channels such as GoodWorksTractors? They are certainly interesting engineering to say the least. Have any of you purchased these? THoughts? Products in video: Precision Mfg Add...

Hey y'all, I am working on my tractor barn and currently have my L35 parked in my garage until concrete and other things are ready for occupation. I noticed some minor drips on the floor of the garage that I wouldn't have noticed on the former dirt/gravel floor of the barn. Looks like a couple...

Howdy All- I've been delayed due to some projects around the place, but going back to the BT900 to complete the refurb. I thought I'd again share what I've done to share what I've learned and the tools I'd used. In this PART 2, I am replacing the bushings in the backhoe frame that are the...

Hello All. After finishing my L35 and wanting to actually use it, the time has come to refurb the backhoe. Come join me on this journey through rust, grease, leaking seals, and bad hoses to a land not so far away. Warning: If you decide to do this work, have lots of sacrificial clothes, Advil...

Neil from Messicks posted an interesting video I wasn't sure where to post it, because it's not a "fix it thing". Anyway I thought it was good info and we might want to review our tractor paperwork! What are y'alls thoughts on the subject?

Here's an interesting vid from our friend Neil. A few common sense tidbits to think about such as not enough engine, warm up and of course; oil choices. My L35 for example, advises warm up via a chart of temperature and time. Have a look and enjoy.

I found an interesting product idea and wondered if anyone in the tractor arena ever used/built one. Is it a gimmick or would it really work to make hydraulic fluid last longer and keep it free from moisture? What about as a fuel cap? It certainly wouldn't be difficult to fabricate one...

Here is a fun video about what injectors do and what they look like when working. If you rig up a contraption to fire the injection with flame you could have a fun time at a party!
