    Tractor Equipment Customization

    As I promised in post #17 more than half a year ago, I'm attaching a video about the wrong but adapted implement for this tractor :)

    Tractor Equipment Customization

    Thank you. My enthusiasm for such works is fading over the years, but inertia remains. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Here I offer another video. I know it's not for me to teach the much better engineering minded US community, but still, maybe someone will find it useful.

    So, here is the general view of the tractor with implement. It seems to work fine, although as I wrote before, this lawn mower is not suitable for this tractor, but the adaptation was successful. There is a video in preparation about it.

    Tractor Equipment Customization

    One of the last planned tasks was this - simple, but very important. It's ergonomics. The seat springs seemed to work too hard for my body weight, as the rubber dampers touch the bottom and therefore it feels the shocks. After it turned out that the springs still have a few millimeters of...

    Tractor Equipment Customization

    After installing the ballast, it turned out that the exhaust pipe was blowing gas right into it. I had to put a nozzle on the pipe, directing the exhaust gas to the side.

    A ballast from an unknown tractor in the front was fitted and bolted.

    Tractor Equipment Customization

    After assembling the three-point kit, it turned out that the lower arms descend too high - 330 mm at a lower hitch point. This doesn't allow to attach an implement with a low (222 mm) hitching point. That's why both lift links had to be lengthened by welding up a piece of steel strip on each of...

    Well, let's continue. Changes have happened. I changed the tractor GB15 to B72. They are almost identical. But the B72 is equipped with power steering, which I will need when attaching up heavy implements and adding ballast up front. All conversions described in this thread are carried...

    YM2310 service manual in Japanese?

    Maybe check out this one: Yanmar 2310 Tractor Manual It asks to sign up before downloading. Be careful.

    Frustrated

    My dealer (Kubota and JCB) in cases when the customer cannot use the warranty tractor at all due to lack of parts or repair technology, assigns him a demo or replacement company tractor. This is his obligation determined by the distributor. The client may not know this and may not even ask...

    looking for rare metric bolts

    In my country, bolts and nuts with inch thread are also expensive, rarely used and ordered individually. When there is a need for them, we check whether we can find them in the market, how long the order will take, etc. If this is not satisfactory, we go to turners who usually have the ability...

    Tell us something we don’t know.

    I've noticed that even when you get through the legal part of a self-defense gun training course, you have a narrower understanding of it when you're young than you do in, say, 20 years. Fortunately, there was no need to use a weapon during that period.

    Swapping a 4WD front axle?

    When changing the front axle from one type of tractor to another, it is more important to consider the gear ratio than the tire diameter. Since both axles are from tractors of the same manufacturer with little difference in year of manufacture, chances are they will have the same gear ratios.

    Tractor idiling running woodsplitter

    In my opinion, if engine idle speed is enough to keep running a hydraulic pump which feeds splitter cylinder, then everything is fine. More or less it's the load. Usually diesels do not like maximum RPMs. At idle they may not fully burn fuel mixture, but if later you will give it some more use...
