I just bought a John Deere 410B backhoe. It only has 6300 hours on the meter and the hoe is tight. The front bucket has a little play. Anyways, the engine sounds great and starts up everytime. The issue is my oil looks like a milky colored oil and it was overdilled and the coolant was...

I was out doing some tilling today and had some issues with my Woods GTC60 tiller. First, the corner piece of steel that holds the bolt which holds the rear gate broke off. I welded another piece of stell on there and fixed that with no problem. Then a couple hours later, I broke a link in...

I'm getting ready to get started on my garage. I'm trying to figure out what I need to use for a header over the garage door. I am trying to decide between using a 16, 18 or 20 foot door. I'm figuring I'll have to use a LVL but I'm not sure of the size and can't find a lot of info on the web...

I noticed the other day that the light for our emergency heat was on quite a bit. I did some checking and found out that the outside unit is not running at all. In the past our emergency heat came on very little, even when temps got colder like into the 20's and 30's. Last night I was trying...

I had a guy come to the house the other day with a picture of my house and land taken from a helicopter. It was a really cool picture, but he was selling it with a frame for $179. Of course I told him no thanks and he left without trying to negotiate. I would have thought he would have came down...

I'm thinking about adding a backhoe to my B-7800. My dealer gave me a price of about $6,000 installed over a year ago on a BH-75. When I went out to Kubota's website, that hoe is not even listed for the 7800, but is listed for some L series machines. Just curious about this as well as the...

Two guns I have always wanted was a .45 ACP and a AR-15 not quite sure why. Thanks to you guys I bought the .45 ACP (Springfield XD-45). It is an awesome gun and everyone that has shot it has commented how nice it was to shoot. The wife is finally coming around on her feelings about guns (she...

I just bought a 1/2 ton pick-up and had a Linex spray in bed liner put in. I'm now looking for something to use as tie down hooks. When I got it, they had the rubber compression ones that go in the stake pockets which I don't like. I had to take them out for the spray in liner and it was a...

Hey fellas: I'm trying to get a ballpark figure on a JD 2210. It is 2 years old, only has 100 hours, garage kept and mint condition. It has a loader, front blade, MMM (around 60"), back blade, ballast box and turf tires. All implements are John Deere. My dad is looking into buying it and was...

I've finally talked the wife into letting me get another pistol. This time I am looking for a.45. I'm trying to keep the price under $1,000. I tried a search here but didn't turn up much.I'm not into any competition shooting or anything like that. I'm looking at something for home defense...

My uncle has a small hinimoto E14 or something like that. I had the number but forgot. It is a small machine (maybe 16 HP or so). Anyway it will not start when it is cold, but when warm it starts fine. We're thinking it is the heater. He said when he turns the key to warm it, it doesn't...

My retired parents are going to start traveling around the country some. Their first trip is to visit some relatives in Brownsville, TX. My brothers and I want to get them a portable GPS system for the car. I'm looking for a nice system that doesn't hit the wallet too hard. I'm trying to...

I'm getting ready to add a mudroom and garage to my house. In the rules and regs. I got from the county they state that the garage has to have 1 hour fire resistant drywall on the wall connecting to the mudroom. I've never seen or heard of fire resistant drywall. Are they talking about a...

My uncle has a Hinomoto E14 I think and the front tire blew out from dry rot. He is looking for a new set of front tires but nobody around where we live has them. Does anyone know of an online place that won't break the bank? The size he gave me is 4.00 X 12 and they are the ag tires with the...

My uncle is building a small enclosed deer stand and is looking for a type of oil stain for wood called coopen oil or something close to that. He wasn't sure of the exact name or spelling and that was the best he good give me. I'm hoping someone here has heard of it and might know where it can...

I just got the new TSC flyer and noticed that the only King Kutter implement they had shown was a finish mower. All the other implements listed were Farm Force. I'm just wondering if they are changing their implement line now.

My cousin has a Kubota B-7100 and it is running hot. He wanted me to check with the brain trust to see what we could come up with. He has taken the radiator off and flushed the engine with water and it runs clear. Put everything back together and let it run for a few minutes and part of the...

Well, I finally decided it was time to remove the rocks in my front yard to make it easier to mow. I've spent the past month digging around them and and taking out the ones I could (using those for fill when doing my garage later this year). I'm getting the air compressor and two jack hammers...

Dad finally decided he is going to tear down his old MF-135 and rebuild the motor as the plugs keep fouling out so bad and it doesn't have the power it should. He tried using the sleeves but they didn't help. Anyone have any tips or suggestions on this project? It is the 3 cylinder gas which I...

I just performed my 300 hour service on the B-7800. While some of the things I did at my 300 hour service are not required, I went ahead and did them since I had it in my dad's garage (as my garage is still in the planning stages). Here are a couple of my findings: 1. I really didn't care for...

The car trailer that I haul my Kubota B7800 has a small problem that no one can seem to help me with in the area where I live. The trailer is double axle which are Hayes 3,500 pound. Only one axle has brakes and they are brake shoes. One of the drums has a crack that goes all the way through...

My brother wants to use his wife's uncle's 45 HP New Holland to dig some holes using my post hole digger. I think it is the TN model but not for sure. Does it have category 1 or 2 pins? He doesn't quite understand what I am talking about, so before dragging the Post hole digger down to his...

I had my house built about 4 years ago and the panel box was completely full except for 2 blanks. The basement was not even finished. When finishing the basement, I had to end up getting the slimline breakers to have enough room. I am going to be putting up a garage in the near future and was...

I meant to take pictures but forgot once we got started. It started by hooking up the tiller and removing all the sod. Then on the one side I had to cut down the dirt and bring it to the other side to build it up. As I was tilling with the B7800 the old man had his MF135 with my boxblade on...

My brother is looking to put up a 6 foot high fence with very little maintenance. He is leaning towards the vinyl fencing panels seen at Home Depot and Lowes but has been told by others this type of fencing is very flimsy and doesn't do that well. First does anyone have any experience with this...

I had been looking to get a new tiller for about a year now and then finally decided I would make the plunge. I had been looking at the King Kutters at Tractor Supply but they want $1,220 for a 60" and they were kinda rough looking on the lot with a little rust showing on covers and what not...

I have been looking around for a decent generator. The main use would be for emergency power back-up but would also use it at other places as well. I'm not so much concerned about heat as I am getting a LP fireplace and blue flame for the basement. I mainly need one to run the well pump (I...

I am in the beginning stages of planning to add a mudroom and garage onto my house. I cannot seem to find a cinder block calculator as to how many block I am going to need. Anyone have any ideas where I can get one? And the 2nd question is concerning the garage door. I am debating over going...

I'm trying to find a nice set of drill bits for my dad for Christmas. Anyone know a good place to get any? Also what is better when it comes to titanium, nitride, cobalt, etc? He has a lot of ok bits like from Sears and other places, but I want to get a really nice set of the most popular...

After having my 7800 for a little over a year (160 hours), I decided to try a little test with it. I needed some fill dirt for a project and decided to dig a pit with the FEL. I started going in at an angle getting deeper as I go. It is about 8 feet wide and betweeen 30 and 40 feet long. It...

I just put up a 4 foot fence a few weeks ago to let my dog rune instead of being stuck in a small kennel and the strays out. The strays were getting too close to my daughter playing in the yard. I go out to do some work in the yard and my dog (shepherd lab mix) takes off straight to the fence...

I was mowing some tall grass the other day with the 60"MMM with my 7800 and I was wearing shorts and could feel heat coming from under the tractor. It didn't burn me but it didn't seem quite right. The when I finished and went to spray off the mower deck I hit the rear end with some spray and it...

I purchased 50 of the Colorado Blue Spruce from Bailey's. I planted 45 of them outside and have the remaining 5 growing inside in pots. I planted them a little early and have been fortunate the frost has not killed them. Anyway my question is what type of mulch to use on these trees. I normally...

I am currently using a Halogen two light motion light (each 250 watt) at my house. I went this route originally because I like not having the area constantly lit up but yet when we pull in the cars the light comes on for going to the house (haven't built the garage yet). The halogen lights burn...
