I have bent my 3 point hitch right side lifting arm. I have a Kubota L4610 and the right side lifting arm on my 3 point hitch is bent. The threaded rod that has a cranking handle attached for sideways adjustment is bent to the point where I can't turn the adjustment crank. I've tried to...

For the first time my L4610 has been hard to start. When this happened my first instinct was to find the choke and use it. I can't find it so I'm assuming that it must have an automatic choke. I've had it serviced regularly by a kubota dealer. Any thoughts on why it is getting hard to start?

My adjustable side link got bent when I acidentially raised my 3pt hitch while my backhoe (frame mounted) was mounted over it. I've got a Kubota L4610 and the side link has a crank handle on it. Do I have to order one from kubota or does someone make an aftermarket one (hopefully one that is...

I just got an estimate for concrete work on a tractor barn that I'm building. I'm curious if this looks like it is in the ball park to those of you that have done this before. Here are the specifics: -Excavation work is already done so it is not included in the bid. Footer is over excavated by...

I've got 35 acres that I need to mow/brush hog. There is a fair amount of "brush". About 10 acres of the 35 is what I would consider brush and the rest is various grasses. If I clear out the brush using hand loppers and keep it mowed I can actually mow it with a regular lawn mower but the...

Has anyone ever bought anything over the internet from weldingsupply.com?? If so, what was your experience? I live in a very small rural community and my nearest welding supplier is 70 miles away, so I don't consider that I have a local supplier. I'm looking to buy a Lincoln Powermig 255 and am...

Has anyone ever built a rock screener that you can use to screen large to small rocks from soil. What I want to do is build something that has some steel mesh on it that can have an adjustable angle that I can set up and put a dump trailer under it and then bring a load of rocky soil to it with...

I've got a small hydraulic leak that appears to be coming out of the bottom of the spool valve on my bradco 509 backhoe. I think the valve is a hesco. It is just a drip of about 10 drops per minute. I haven't taken it apart because I don't really know what I'm doing with it and it is now at...

I'm looking to get a welder to do some projects for my tractor. The type of projects are adding the ability to put forklift blades on my frontloader, adding top & tilt for the 3 point hitch, adding extensions on the teeth on my grappler, building a lift cage for the front loader, etc. I've taken...

I've lost my manual for my tractor. I want to get a hydraulic port selector to put on my power beyond port. Is that port a 1/2" or 3/4" port? Thanks for the help!

I have moved to a new garage and my compressor keeps (about half the time) throwing the breaker in the garage when it starts. There is nothing else plugged into the circuit. It is plugged into a 20 amp circuit with an 20 amp breaker. The motor is a 15 amp motor. I didn't have any trouble in my...

I am going to need to cut both construction lumber and rebar. What is the difference between a chop saw for cutting rebar and a mitre saw for compound cuts on construction lumber. Can I put a metal cutting blade on a compound mitre saw and just use that for cutting the rebar??

I bought one of the pressurized sand blasters for connection to my compressor. Bought it from Harbor Freight and it came in many pieces. I can't seem to get the connections tight no matter how much teflon tape I put on them. Its not just one connection that leaks but about 5 or 6 of them. Is...

On my backhoe I have a grease zirc that doesn't seem to want to take grease. I have a hand pump grease gun and when I put it on this particular zirc I can't seem to pump grease into it. Also when I try to remove the grease gun nozzle it is extremely difficult to remove it. This only happens on...

Can the small 16oz propane canisters be filled. These are the ones that are usually green metal canisters and are used with lanterns, small camping burners and small portable heaters. It sure would be less expensive if I could refill them from my 20lb bottles. Thanks for any help.
