Spent some time with the grinder and modified the bracket so they would fit backwards. Also got some flat steel and changed out the angle. Now I just gotta get it mounted and test the fit.

The pins are recessed above the front of the cultivator. When I attach the lift arms they hit the angle iron when I only lift it a few inches off the ground. This is how it was assembled when I got it, is it assembled wrong?

I stalled my DK40se HST out in the woods, and when I went to restart it the dash range light is blinking L. I can't seem to find N, it stays in L (and blinks) no mater where I put the shift lever. It has been acting up as far as the dash and the lever get out of sync but I can always find N...

I have been thinking about adding a diverter valve to the loader on my DK40se. Does anyone know what size/type of threads are used on the quick disconnects on the loader valve? My plan is to move the female disconnect from the factory loader valve to the diverter. I'm trying to figure out what...

Got lazy tonight, used the grapple to move a trailer... By the time I had the trailer turned around and moved it out back it had wedged on nicely! Only took a few blocks under the jack and 2 good hits with a sledge to get it back apart. The time I wasted fetching tools and cribbing I could...

Just an update for anyone interested. Sold my finish mower on Saturday, picked up a 6' Woods BB72X Wednesday, and mowed 3 to 4 acres today. So far I am very pleased with the cutter. I set it for a 3" cut and went straight to the tallest thickest grass we had and it chewed it right up, the...

Well I have finished painting and installing the plywood sides and back. All the paint was leftovers, a friend painted his truck blue in my garage about 10 years ago (we will see how that holds up), a little white house paint, and some red barn paint that has turned pink brown (also about 10...

I would also like to learn more about your shaker, and I also don't have a spare tractor! We finally have had a few warm days! Tonight I got the first coat of primer on. I painted the bottom side of the rebar, that was a royal pain, so I am done painting the rebar. I figure it's going to be...

Finished welding the 4" screen today. The frame is done, the screen is done, and the plywood sides are cut and drilled. Now I just need some warm weather so I can paint everything! I am going to wait to build the overlay screen untill I have a chance to run some material through incase I...

I can see the value of a box blade, and I'm sure it's one of those implements that once I find one I will be kicking my self for not getting one sooner. I have the landpride ripping attachment, got it for super cheep. Having that the blade seemed more versatile than a box blade. Like I said I...

Made some progress this weekend, only have 4 or so bars left to weld on and the 4" screen will be done.

I picked up a new toy/attachment on Easter Sunday. It's a Landpride RB3584 (7'). It's in fairly good shape, the kick stand needs to be fixed and the king pin is a little loose. It has an offset cylinder but I would like to modify/move it to control the blade angle. If anyone has done...

Hello all, I am in the market for a rotary cutter and was looking for some sizing opinions. I have a DK40SE HST 32 hp at the pto. Currently I have a landpride RFM1672, 6' finish mower. The finish mower is up for sale. I have talked to a few dealers and a local farmers, most of the dealers...

No progress this week but I did pick up the rebar (hopefully enough). This is the best part: This is the screen from a sander. It is 2.75" squares and 4' x 8'. It changes my plans a little, my overlay is now going to be a slightly larger opening and I will have to figure out how to extend...

I test fit the hitch and got a coat if paint on it. Didn't have a trailer to try pulling around so I am just assuming it will stay put :D. Here is a view from the seat, it's small and hard to see, but you can see the tip of the hitch just to the left of the hook on the top of the bucket. This...
