    Repower 1980' vintage IR gas powered air compressor

    Mendonsy, thank you. I have started soaking down the whole assembly with Deep Creep and then I'll start to slowly try to press the taper bushing out as you have suggested. Again, many thanks for your info and advice.

    Repower 1980' vintage IR gas powered air compressor

    I have acquired a 1980's version of and IR T30 gas powered air compressor. The engine is a Kohler Magnum 10hp. The tank leaks gas and the fuel lines are all cracked and I want to repower the compressor with a Honda 13 HP electric start. I have removed the Kohler and hope to be able to use the...

    Ramp Door capacity

    I can only tell you about my experience. I had a custom built Diamond enclosed trailer. It was 7 x 16 and the rear door opening was made with 84" clearance on the height. It had 2 5200# torsion axles and a ramp door. I had all the wall, ceiling and floor supports spec'd at 16"o.c. rather than...

    b3030 hydraulics

    I assume you are talking about mounting the third function hydraulic valve! I have a B3000 and I mounted mine on the inside of the FEL arm with the quick disconnect mounted on the cross bar for the FEL.

    B3030 cab lighting upgrades?

    I also replaced my cab lights with LED units. I have a B3000 but I don't think it is much different than the B3030. I only used the original brackets and the existing wiring to mount lights in both the front and rear of the cab. Lighting now is much improved over the original Kubota...

    Making some mods to my B3000

    Added a block heater for the cold Idaho winters. Pretty straight forward but had to buy a 1-3/8" socket to install the heater in the block.

    Canopy Work Lights Upgrade to LED

    I replaced my front work lights and installed rear work lights (where they didn't exisit before) using 27 watt LED lights. Each unit puts out 2600 lumens. The light output is hard to believe. I used units I got from Northern Tool & Equipment when they had a big sale and paid $20 each...

    Making some mods to my B3000

    Added front and rear 27 w LED work lights. 2600 lumens from each really brightens up the work area now. Also added cab level caution/turn signal lights to increase my visibilty to other vehicles when I'm on the road. Wanted a 12 v power outlet for use in the cab so I found one that had USB...

    Your Bee Sting Score?

    I never knew that. I'll try to remember to try that. I guess I've only been stung slightly more than a dozen times in my life. Mostly as a kid but it never caused any real problems. Last summer I was working on my patio deck and got stung on the back of the left hand. Wasn't sure what...

    New to Forum and New to me Orange tractor

    I have lived in the Nampa Idaho for 34 years and never have seen as much snow as this 2016/17 season. I use an atv with plow or my Allis Chalmers 5020 tractor with FEL and box blade to move what snow we have gotten over the years. However, this year the snow has been never ending. Setting...
