Just picked up a Harbor Freight quick hitch. I put it on my tractor (Kubota L3400) and I'm having an issue with the top connector. Either the hook on the QH needs to go up, or I need to rework the mower hitch. Am I missing something? Pic attached.

I just got this mower and while it will be parked under a roof during the mowing season, I would like to put a cover over it to keep the paint from fading. Any recommendations?

Well, picked it up today, looking forward to putting her to work.

In the unlikely event that my Kubota doesn't start.

Getting the version with the Kawasaki engine. I really wanted the GT48DXLS, but Messicks couldn't find any. As always, Messicks treated me well, hopefully I avoided a price increase by ordering now.

My wife and I trained and showed about 40 years ago, still help out at one show each year. Things have sure changed and I'm not sure for the better. Got out of it when our employer decided he was tired of paying us. Here's a pic from back in the day.

I just got a 2017 F150 3.5eb zsCrew w/6.5' bed. Very happy so far. Just hauled my tractor yesterday for the first time and I was impressed with the power, no problem with these PA hills. 10.5 mpg. No complaints.

Loaded up and ready to go. I'll give a report when I get back.

Just got her home:

Lariat, super crew, 4x4, 6.5' bed, 3.5 ecoboost. Since I retired in December, we decided we don't need two vehicles anymore. I really thought I would get another Silverado and tried out the High Country. Very nice, but my wife liked the seat in the Ford better. Both are beautiful trucks. Details...

Stopped in for some advice and a few parts yesterday. As always, the guy at the counter was extremely helpful. I asked him if he knew the torque specs for some bolts that I needed to remove and he printed out the page from the service manual for me. I mentioned that I wished I had the service...

So, I think I finally found the source of my hydro leak. Initially thought it was coming from the vent under the seat, but upon further exploration it appears to be coming from the joint where the hydraulic case cover is bolted onto the transmission (see breakdown). My question is what type...

Just ran across a Scag Freedom Z with under 500 hours and a bagger for $3500. The pictures look good. Worth a closer look or should I pass?
