KubotaB7800, LA402 loader, 830 hours. Fluid was seeping around the rod on both bucket cylinders and one boom cylinder, and the loader leaked down slowly. So I rebuilt those three cylinders using genuine Kubota rebuild kits, reassembled everything and topped up the hydraulic fluid. I have cycled...

I narrowed my rear mount snowblower from 74 in. to 62 in. wide. Why would a sane person do that? My blower is a no-name (that bears an uncanny resemblance to a Lucknow) that I purchased new from a short line dealer almost 25 years ago. It was originally mounted on a larger gear drive tractor...

My B7800 came with a narrow track setup on the rear wheels and I've been wanting to widen it for stability. The 24" wheels are dished around the axle flange so that Bro-Tek's standard spacers will not fit due to their diameter. I contacted Richard at Bro-Tek and he replied that the spacers could...

Here are three simple (and cheap) improvements I have made to the 3 point hitch on my Kubota B7800. I built all of these from material I had laying around. (Never throw anything out!) I got all of the ideas from fellow TBN'ers. 1. Poor Man's Position Control Since I don't have position control...

..or at least until I get a new windshield? Applied it twice now and it works great in heavy rain - don't need wipers then - but in light rain or mist I have to use the wipers and it leaves a scum on the windshield that is hard to see through, especially at night. Anybody know of an antidote?

Here is a modern (1890's) woodcutter located at King's Landing Historical Settlement, NB, Canada. The log sets on a carriage that is advanced by a ratchet mechanism on the spiked drum. The pulley ratio from the horse power to the saw crank is about 4:1, so the saw can move quite fast. However...

I always hate to have to do this because it means I've had a flat tire. It happened again today, so I dug out my little setup I've used before. It's cheap and it works like a charm. It consists of a bucket, a drill pump and drill, 2 pieces of garden hose and a small hose clamp. I start with the...

I've been seeing this truck going up and down the road for the past few years, usually towing an equipment trailer for a lawn care contractor. Today it was parked and for sale, so I had to take a closer look. It's an F-350 with diesel and manual tranny. I don't know if it started out as a crew...

After much research here on TBN, I got me an RTV500. Thanks to advice from General Lee I went with the ATV tires since I plan to use it mostly in the woodlot. I installed a small tool box and a fire extinguisher under the hood and a 5" convex mirror on the front ROPS crossbar. Now I'm waiting...
