Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

The last couple of times a tire on the tractor went flat and lost the bead, I had to resort to the starter fluid trick to get 'em back on. I HATE doin' that, but none of my compressors put out enough air to do it the correct, and safer, way. Same with the Kubota RTV tires, the beads are so close together once the tire is mounted there's just no way to get enough air in 'em with a compressor so they'll seat. I once took a full set to a local tire shop, and they were using handfulls of tire mounting grease to try to plug the gap. They were successful with three of them, but had to use starter fluid on the last one. That's probably why my Kubota dealer doesn't sell tires, only wheels with the tires already mounted.

For smaller tires I use the bungee cord method. Lots of tire places use air tank bead sealers. Wonder if they sell big ones for tire tractors?

57F and partly cloudy @ 11:30, high headed up to a whopping 64F.

Got just over 1/2" rain in the last 24 hours. Lawn will likely be too wet to drive on until at least later today, if even then. More rain back in the forecast for next Monday.

Started to head out to Menards last night, got about 1/2 mile down the road and realized I had forgotten the paperwork so turned around came back and decided to skip it for the night as it was raining and time was running short.

Have some running around to do today.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day.

69°F and 0 rain last 24 hours

One of today’s priorities is devise something to stop 1 growing puppy from getting under the bed and getting stuck. Guess some 2x4s around the edge.

Should get more project time today, get the expansion floor in place.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

good morning all. 72 going up to only 77 today in rain and thunderstorms all day and all tonight, several inches of rain predicted.
I'm headed back to Washington this morning to dermatologist and will be a wet ride.

Roy, good luck on the hunt. I don't know if you kept any of your implements for "out front" but if you did then at least you have JD's proprietary hook up system vs
skid steer standard. Ackerman Equipment in Jericho has several Kubotas and Kioti with cabs but otherwise slim pickings
4? HP To 99 HP Tractors For Sale In Vermont - 11 Listings | TractorHouse.com - Page 1 of 1
Pardon Our Interruption
2?16 New Holland Boomer 54D- with factory cab! Low hours! - farm &...
2?11 John Deere 452? tractor/loader - farm & garden - by owner - sale
TYM(Chinese) and LS(Korean) also have some equipment in that area, mostly manual trans, you can buy these new or almost new for a lot less money and LS
is highly regarded. If you could find a new LS with zero percent financing, that might be attractive.

I'm thinking about other brands...
Also, priced a Deere 4052 yesterday...more then I really want to spend.
One place listed in you first link has a Kubota 4740 coming in Friday...that might be a good one to look at.
I kept the flail mower, chipper, front blade and snowblower. The front blade is a propietary Deere attachment, so unless I get another Deere, I'll have to sell that. Looks brand new and winter is coming...might be a good time to start advertising it. The snow blower is a Deere (Frontier), but a Cat 1 3PH is a Cat 1 3PH, regardless of the implement' paint job.
The flail mower is a Caroni (Massey red) and the chipper is a Woodmaxx (Kubota orange).

I'll find something...but, if it doesn't happen this winter, my neighbor bought a 25-30 HP Kioti (cab and front snowblower) and he'd have no problems doing our drive for a while

Drew, thanks very much for the links!!

Our oldest BC figured out when she was young that if she shoved a Chuck-It ball under furniture, then laid there and moaned, someone would have to come get it out for her. It was her way of getting us to play with her. The china cabinet was particularly difficult to get under, so I made a frame from 1x4s to fit inside the feet and block off the three exposed sides. She stopped doing that a few years ago, so we took the frame out last year. Did it's job, though.

On my way to the dermatologist this morning, where two zaps from his liquid nitrogen to my face sure woke me up...I got behind a suv with a
custom inscription on the back window, which I think several of you will either appreciate or get annoyed by...
I'm going to have to paraphrase this...
This vehicle driven by totally exhausted autism Dad
My initial reaction was not positive, thinking why not say something positive
like My autistic child is absolutely wonderful, or something to that effect...
But then I thought about it some more, I "get it" for sure about his reality,
though no one not in the midst of this unique and intensive caring really gets it.
So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and wished him well.

Roy that Kubota L4740 if in decent shape would likely make you very happy.
I absolutely loved my L5740, except the stock seat wasn't padded enough

They are smart aren’t they.
Made a 2x4 frame inside the legs, hidden by the dust ruffle. Another week or so and he will be too big, but until then...
