    Chuck for Milwaukee M18 drill motor

    I'm sure you know it has left hand threads, but they can get tight.

    Pulling small trees

    Depending on soil type, soil condition and tree size, you might consider a tree puller. You'd need a third function. I've pushed and pulled pines up to about 6" with my L35. Some people also use a stump bucket. I think you'll find it best to leave the tree intact until you have it out.

    Another barn build

    Back in the day, the blacksmith would heat it in the forge, hammer it back out and quench it. Very little waste of metal.

    Florescent Lighting Bans?

    That's what I did on my home fixtures. I didn't have to change sockets for the tubes I bought. It would be a big job for a whole hospital, but would greatly reduce long-term replacements. If they have 277v lighting, that could be a different story.

    Medical Cost

    If I read your post correctly, the provider was compensated about 1/3 of the 'billing'. Sounds about right, a few months ago I had a chemical stress test. The billing was $7,000. Medicare plus supplement paid about $2,300. A few lesser charges were disallowed. Quite a 'discount'.

    Medical Cost

    Or demand payment up front before treatment in some cases.

    what size rotary cutter ?

    Are you considering the lift version or the pull version? I assume that 1800# disk was not 3ph.

    what size rotary cutter ?

    I've run a 7' LandPride RCR1884 behind an M7040 and I don't think an MX would lift it comfortably. Besides that 7 footer is so long it gets kind of unwieldy. I've seen an M7060 running a 12' batwing through 4' grass. It was slow going, but who's going to try mowing 4 mph when you can't see the...

    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    I bought a Cle-Line at Lowe's the other day when I saw they were made in the US. I didn't realize at the time they were Cleveland. Are they any good? In the old days we sold Hansons, but now I guess they're Irwin, Chinese.

    $10K L5030 Plus Restoration, or $25K Newer Tractor With Perilous Electronics?

    If you want a loader, don't buy a tractor without it. Used loaders to fit a specific model are scarce. Hiring repairs can get expensive, so you need to be able to take care of most items yourself. What tasks do you need to perform? How large of a tractor do you need?

    Good vintage utility tractor?

    Ford/New Holland 3930 (ours) John Deere 5103 (neighbors) These are both 2wd, ~50hp, independent PTO, 4+1/2 range or 3+1/3 range gear transmission, hydrostatic steering.

    Making a Three Point Hitch

    Offhand, I think BX arms on a 100 hp tractor are going to be awfully short. They also have a lot of offset, since the BX mounting points are close together. How far apart are the mounts on the 806? Kubota also has a kit for the L series TLBs, but they're pretty narrow also. Tractor Supply has...

    Ford 7740 help. Please.

    SGOTI says it's a transmission temperature sensor error. Maybe loose/broken wire or bad sensor. The sensor is located on the right side of the transmission.

    Kubota L4310 gear teeth in hydraulic filter?

    That model had optional creeper gears. Does yours have the option and, if so, have you tried using it?

    What did you buy this week?

    I bought a glow timer for my Kubota on eBay once. I knew it was a Chinese clone. When it arrived, it looked better than the original Denso. They had copied it exactly, including embossing 'Made in Japan' in the case.
