Coolant does not evaporate, it escapes to somewhere. check all hose connections, tighten or replace clamps as required. Clean the gasket area of the rad cap and pressure test the system.

I lost my wife of 32 yrs to cancer in 2009, I feel your anguish. Prayers for your family.

It may be catching on the cowling, or the firewall. Try pulling slightly forward as you lift. this may provide enough clearance to allow the pivot.

I run my tank drain into a cannister filter, oil or fuel type. just thread a nipple into the filter and attach hose. Good to go. catches all the crap. change filter every few years.

This time of the year in Canada, the landscape is covered in a beautiful white blanket, trees are glistening with frost, and people are braving the cold, to work, shop, visit friends and loved ones. To all the folks at TBN, I would like to take a moment to wish all of you the Joy, Happiness, and...

Buy the best tool you can afford. There is no replacement for Quality tools.(RIGID, KLIEN, ETC.)

I have an 84" BB on my MX5100 HST. I've only ever stalled the tractor once in 18" of sandy clay, BB was full to the rim.

We use our electric cart as a garden runabout, pull a little dump cart behind for transporting the garden harvest to the cold room, and just about any chore on the acreage. Charge it overnight once a month or so.

Welcome and enjoy the banter.

Typically on commercial installations, the intake opening is @ 1.5 times larger the the exhaust opening (Radiator cooled units). Intake low, exhaust High, as mentioned previously. Pipe the engine exhaust out of the building, (double wall piping is best option).

Stretch a length of chain between the tie down rings on each side, add one D ring at center point on each side. Presto! unlimited tie down points. JMHO

Did you check the new battery, could be a dud. Check your battery cables for internal corrosion, and ensure cable post clamps are clean and tight.

My best guess is that you have a fine silt or dirt in the fuel tank, ensure the tank has no debris, and next step is to ensure that your crankcase ventilation is working. that will blow the oil plug out of its hole.

I fashioned a canopy for my B6200 from a plastic garbage bin lid off a three yd double lid bin.They are tough as nails.

In our thoughts and prayers for a positive outcome.

Welcome from Sunny (not today) Alberta, Canada. :cool:

Welcome from not so sunny Alberta !!

Local electrical code will outline the circuit requirement for refrigerators and freezers. Use that as your BIBLE.

To be sure, measure the amount of oil that comes out of the crankcase.

So very sorry for your loss. I went through much the same thing in 2009, when my wife of 32 years was taken from me. I can assure you that time will help to heal the scars, and you will find your resolve to march on. I kept a few memorable items of hers to treasure, and in time I let the rest...

IMHO, that trailer is scary. I doubt if it's even legal. Just WALK or RUN away.

Eddie, I make my tomato cages out of pagewire fencing. 2in x 4in mesh. works great.

If you can find a shouldered bushing slightly larger than that, (most ag supplies in stock) hand tuning it should be fairly easy. JMHO

Welcome fellow maritimer, from overly sunny Alberta.

Probably best to call your local electrical contractor, that wire does not even look like direct bury Romex.

Check the output voltage at the alternator for comparison. if they match, no worries. If the alt output is higher than what you read at battery terminals there is a voltage drop, meaning probably a corroded connection between them. If you are not experiencing any issues with other electrical...

Yes, that is possible for moving a couple feet.

I have a BH 92 on my MX5100. Absolutely love it. Only drawback is having to switch seats to move the tractor. First job i did was trenching in about 800 meters of water line around my property, as far down as she would reach. (8 ft). Pulled out a rock that was twice the size of the 18 inch bucket.

You have already proven a bad ground by attaching your jumper cable to the frame. Bite the bullet and buy a new ground cable. JMHO

To all my new extended family on TBN; As this year comes winding down on us, I find myself reminiscing of al things 2019. Some good, some not so... I would like to take a moment to extend heartfelt wishes for a Blessed Christmas Season and a very Prosperous New Year to come, to each and...

Now for some updated pics....

Here's a few pics to start this off right! Enjoy!

Hello to all, It's been a while since I've visited here, as the summer has been busy. I've finally started on the house construction, and it has been a one man build, so it takes a while. In mid July, I put the footing forms in and poured the concrete. Then came the frost walls for the walkout...

I recently swapped a cab from an F series mower to my MX5100, Not a pretty sight, but its functional. Took about 50 hours to refab to fit, mounted on rubber , to loader frame and ROPS mount. I now call it frankenbota!

As the Blessed day of the Lords birth draws ever closer, Trudy and I would like to take this oppotunity to wish ALL the Members and Staff of TBN, a peaceful and blessed Christmas, and a prosperous 2016, filled with family and friends. Dave

Is anyone using shredders for mowing? Saw a video of Kuhn shredders used in park lawn maintenance, and they looked awesome! Considering trading my LP RCR1872. Any Thoughts?

A few pics of the refit so far. A little tall, but I can stand up without bumpin my noggin! No paint yet, all the fill pieces are whatever metal I had on hand, such as steel corner trim leftover from my shop build, used to fill rear corners. Bottom of door will b lexan, same behind seat...

My first attempt to post pics.:D

I am checking prices for a friend, and he's looking at a model 1635 (2010) with cab, loader, and a few attachments, 170hrs, priced at 35K$. Does this sound reasonable? would appreciate any info you may have on this. Thanks, in advance Dave

Anyone out there installed a circulating engine heater on their tractor? (MX5100HST) Wondering where to install hose port connections for best results. Any info would be appreciated. thanks, in advance Dave

To all the Staff, and ALL the members and guests, Thank you for you comments and advice throughout the past year. It is my sincerest wish that you all have a joyous and SAFE holiday season. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, and All the best in the New Year to come. Dave and Trudy Dort

Pic of my BH92 at the dealer b4 I picked it up, and a "small' stone I dug out of my waterline trench last fall.

Hey All, Just found a Kubota B6200 on a local trading post with 680 hour, c/w 36"tiller and 48" 3pt blade. Asking price 5K$ tractor looks well maintained in pic, would this be a fair price?

I recently tore down a 5.9 Cummins, and discovered water pump bearings in the # 2 cyl. Can anyone out there shed a little light on this. A little history; Water pump failed, turbo overheated and caught fire. Drained all fluids, replaced W/P, Turbo, Tstat, belt and pulleys, refilled all all...

Good Day Readers, My MX5100 finally broke the 300 hour mark last weekend, so I broke out the tools and proceeded to change ALL the FLUIDS. This can be a bit overwhelming for a first timer. I went to the local Canadian Tire store (after pricing the Ag Dealer parts counter), and purchased 3 20L...

I have a 2012 MX5100HST that is showing fuel in the crankcase. I noticed the issue after the second oil change at 250 hours. prior to that, the crankcase over pressured and spit out the dipstick. I assumed that the cranckcase vent froze off as I was moving snow at the time. The tractor still...

This is my first post on your site, thanks for the oppotunity to join in! I own a small acreage, and purchased a new 2012 MX5100HST with loader, backhoe, 72" rough cut, 72" tiller, and 84" boxblade, (all LandPride) Thought I got a good deal(all in under 50K). My issue is a fuel leak into the...
