The B2650 count down has begun!

Thanks to rkidd for the MMM encouragement. I removed/reinstalled the MMM yesterday for practice and am getting better at understanding the gauge wheel settings. I even put it to work at mowing an acre of dried, leaf covered field. It worked really nice cutting at 2 inch winter height. Those low settings is what screwed up the removal/install. Bumping 86 years old however, I don't think I'll compete with a 60 year old whelp..:laughing:

Oldballs, did your dealer get your tractor straightened out?

Hey Mike. That is great that you are that age and still running and enjoying tractors. I hope I am as fortunate as you to be in that good of shape and still running my Kubota!! I have been very happy with my mmm and it mows extremely well as you said. Good luck to you and enjoy.

The dealer is to pick it up this Monday. I think all will end well. Yesterday I added another quart of Super UDT2, which brought it up to the stick range. That took a whole gallon....before I ran it to mow an acre. I was beginning to think that I was adding HST fluid into the wrong hole.:confused2:

I'm up in Coudersport Pa at my buddies digging for a shed addition. I've done about all I can do, next is bring in an excavator for the rocks that are as big as my entire tractor!

I'm taking pictures while my buddy is driving the machine. I trust him, he items an excavation company... So he's not trying to learn on my machine.

Using my Kubota back hoe was about the most fun I had ever!

And the addiction begins.

I had all the toys for my bx. But sold it all as a package because none of the attachments would be big enough for the new rig. A 60” tiller is barely gonna cover my tires but I don’t want to go any bigger

Understand. I took my plasma cutter to both ends of my 72in back blade that I bought used for a great price even though I knew it was gonna be like a tail wagging the dog. Now it performs so much better.

Had a rough morning getting off of a mountain on a solid sheet of ice this morning.

Larry, sorry to see the damage? Did the body/paint not get damaged? Seems like you were very lucky it just was the perfect height to only get the tail light.

 

[oldballs]

Dang it!!!!!that could happen anywhere on ice...........even in the flats of Kansas. Oh well, it could have been worse. Better luck in coming days.

Cheers,
Mike

I was really lucky, just a $500 tail light housing, no bed side or tailgate damage. This Rebel has the LED lights, they aren't the typical $180 Ram taillight
