Thanks for coming back to share what the root cause was. Too bad it cost you some unnecessary parts swapping. But now you’ve got back ups.

OP, Did the bearings in OP, First, good on you for tearing into yourself. I see you have a lift, so my guess is you’re more skilled than you're giving yourself credit for. Secondly, did the bearings you pulled out have seals on both sides? If so, is there a zerk fitting in either the spindle...

Well then, that might explain why folks mention the cost of it at times. That’s Wonderfull. I’ll wait for the OP to let us know it’s covered.

This screaming, could it be considered a whine? That’s what I hear on the HST Kubota CUTs when operated in High range (pretty much only for transit) or with too much load in Medium range. Really have to get aggressive (abusive?) to get much of a whine in Low range with the half dozen Kubota HST...

Another option might be a thin nylon washer on each side of the bracket.

Hello Kubota? I’d like to file a claim on my hydolocked RTV. How? My FIL drove it into the creek. Denied? Why? Oh, damage due to operator abuse isn’t covered. If the conversation lasted that long.

Pretty easy fix. FIL drops about $21k plus fees and taxes for a new one at the local Kubota dealer, hands you the keys to it and enjoys his new submarine, however he’d like, running or otherwise. Might piss off the wife. But I’m sure your FIL knows as soon as you barrow someone’s equipments...

I’m pretty certain you’ll know you’ve got over 500 lbs hanging off the front of the BX. I know I can feel it on my L.

Congrats! Someone got a nice machine. IIRC $27.5k was nearly the price new back in the mid-2000’s. Outside of inflation/depreciation eating up about $16.5k of the mid-2000s value, that’s a decent per hour capital cost of about $16/hr.

I suspect that 13 took a nap within the first handful of hours of operation. Those R14s do load up with just about any moisture on the surface and they are pretty worthless after that. Same as my B.

Very nice! You did well. if you want to keep coming West, I can give you a few hundred over what you paid. Joking. You’re making it look good regardless.

Sure. Here you go. The lines on the grapple exit on the left side. I set up my 3rd function on the right side of the FEL. The hydraulic hoses are plenty long to connect to the 3rd function on my application. I have to use a bungee cord to manage the excess line. The n my grapple, it looks like...

Ok, let’s see photos by the weekend then. Have a safe trip and make sure you secure it properly to a good trailer towed with a good truck, both with good brakes.

I’d just use the FEL. I built a 14’ wide, 200’ long path crossing a slope with my L. The cut ended up being about 2’ high. Took me about 3 or 4 hours. The cut material went on the fill side. Your need is about 5% that much earth work. You just need a low spot to start the first bucket full. Do...

No Looky yet then. Sounds like you’ve been and will be busy for a bit. I think you’re fortunate no one got it ahead of you. If I knew of that deal on my side of the Cascades, I’d buy it just to have it. Probably is a good guy. I’ve bought many vehicles and trailers from private parties...

lol. Well I must be hell on wheels. The tubes on my brush hogs go MIA after the first season.

Exactly what fried1765. Put some money down on it ASAP and get it locked up. Ok, I see you did. Good job! That guys shop looks like a showcase. He collects stuff and doesn’t use it too much or hard.

Hedge you call it. Those look like trees. Is that area an old orchard? Is hedge a kind of tree? On my side of the county a hedge is a tight grouping of bushes that are planted in a line and maintained as a privacy screen. Sometimes fast growing narrow evergreen trees are used.

I agree I’d rather have the option than not, and since I only have one right leg, the cutting brakes on my L are of no use. But my B has them in the right place (left side) and I’ve yet to use them, other than to confirm they work. These CUTs turn so sharp as it is, I just don’t have any need...

Seems like some of the talking heads on YouTube reported that Ford was done with EVs late last year? Myself, I see EVs as the future, so far in the future I won’t see it. As soon as EVs have to compete on a level playing field, it will be over for a while.
