Bought it used from a rental yard with only 500 hours. Good deal but when it was delivered I noticed one of the stabilizer rods was scored, probably from a chain. Not sure if I missed it during inspection or it happened during delivery. Anyway, I thought I would smooth down the damage and...

I finally got around to my wish list for remotes. Driven by my desire to mount a cement mixer on the tractor I decided to add 2 spools with quick disconnects on the FEL – see attachment. I have to tell you, adding remotes to a tractor with no provision for it is challenging. The amount of...

I’m adding some remotes to my tractor and needed to weld a mounting plate to the FEL cross support. After reading the posts about paint color I decided to give Dupli-Color Engine Enamel, DE1620 Chevrolet Orange (WalMart) a try. All I can say is it’s a perfect match compared to my hood (see...

Is this a bad idea? I’ve been thinking about improving my setup to include a handrail/work table, material holder and such. It would be nice to be able to cut and install material without going up & down the ladder.

Does anyone know why Kubota puts this O-ring on all the cylinder rods (see attachment)? They have been slowly deteriorating and falling off so I’m wondering what purpose they might serve. Thanks…

I’m trying to figure out a way to hoist this I-beam into place. The columns are 12’ high and the beam weighs 1200 lbs. Since my tractor can’t lift it that high I must either devise a simple cheap method myself or pay a crane service $150. Since I have another 2 beams to place on another...

Been clearing land for a workshop/2-car garage and another 3-car garage/machine shed & have decided to do all the excavation and form work myself. Since I have other foundation projects on the horizon I’ve decided to get a rebar bender/cutter. A 1/2" unit will suffice but I wouldn’t mind...

I have a few projects that require some cement. Most of the projects can’t be reached by a truck and or I don’t need enough to justify one. So I’ve been thinking about a cement mixer and would like to make about 6 CF at a time – about how much my FEL will carry. I then had a brain fart &...

New B21 owner. Did my 50 HR service and now the oil strainer for the HST charge pump leaks. Part of the service requires this screen to be cleaned. When I removed this strainer from the tank it seemed loose fitting. The grove & O-ring looked fine but was loose after reinstalling. Now it...

I’m a happy Orange owner (<font color="blue">My B21</font>) and it’s time for the initial 50-hour fluid change. Read all the stuff about UDT, Super UDT & TSC fluid. The 2 dealers around here don’t even have the Kubota stuff and use a product called <font color="blue">"Powertech Transdraulic...
