I am considering buying a Titan (#122912) 14" trenching bucket .....$329. This is obviously a low end pin on bucket, and I will need to modify it to fit my Kubota Q/A (+$219 for mod. plate + welding). I would like to use this trenching bucket with my Kubota L48TLB. It would only get very...

This is a mystery all about hot water (or lack thereof). I have a 50 gallon water heater that I assumed had an element, or thermostat problem. I have drained the heater, replaced the elements, and replaced the upper thermostat. My problem is, that when I select the hot...

Maybe this post should be titled "self flagellation". I turned 80 last week! Today, I ordered myself a birthday/Christmas present. A root rake grapple! I seriously doubt that any 80 year old NEEDS a grapple! Nothing fancy. Not expensive. Why.....because I have wanted one for a long while, and...

I have found OEM Kubota not diluted coolant for a fair price at Coleman Equipment..... $29.78 plus shipping. Tried to delete this title/post, but couldn't make it happen. Sorry, for the now nuisance post!

The JD 110 TLB, and the Kubota L48 share similar vintage. Machinery Trader shows 3 - L48s for sale, and 19 - JD110s. As a rough comparison, did JD make/sell approximately 6 times more JD110s than Kubota made L48s?

When I bought my 250 hour L48 TLB 14 months ago, the (original) owner told me that the hydraulic fluid had been (dealer) changed at 200 hours. I have messed around with moving hose locations on the hoe, and have lost a small amount of fluid. I will buy SUDT-2 just to have some on hand...

I have 2 cases of Phillips X/C 20W-50 aviation oil (I sold my twin Comanche many years ago) My new SCAG 21HP Kawasaki FR651V powered mower calls for 20W-50 motor oil to be used in the transmission. I am wondering if I can use the 20W-50 Phillips aviation engine oil in both the Kawasaki FR651V...

My 1989 Ford 1920 hitch leaks down quite soon after engine shutdown. Changing the position of the control knob under front edge of seat makes no difference. What is my best (easiest) course of action to fix this? Is there a rebuild kit for this?

I would like to determine the 2006 original cost of my Kubota L48 TLB. I am trying to estimate the depreciation ---just for fun. Mine has a few handy gadgets. In addition to the standard Kubota quick attach loader bucket it has the following: 3rd function,..... +...

I am considering a root rake/grapple. It will not be used for commercial purposes, and I have absolutely zero rocks in my area. I want a full width (66") single lid root rake/grapple. The EA root rake/grapples, while I am sure they are wonderful, cost well in excess of what I am...

I am a TOTAL fan of Messicks! In my opinion, they can do no wrong! Last week I ordered a very thin (soft cover) parts manual, a 4" square muffler gasket, and two very small foam pads. Total shipping weight including box, .....less than two pounds, shipped to zone 1 from...

It was my dad's Anyone interested? Listed on E-Bay ....323921891127

I have a little Prince 3 spool remote valve assembly (MB31BBB5C1) on my Kubota L48. Each of the valve levers has a rubber dust/dirt protective boot that has dry rotted away. I called a Prince distributor (Bangor,Me.) and they called Prince, who said those rubber protective boots are not...

My new EA 42" Extreme Skid Steer & Pallet forks were delivered today. Very nice! I had considered buying the comparable looking Titan forks for $84 less, but just could not convince myself to do it. Am very happy that I did not.

Two weeks ago I picked up a 2006 Kubota L48 TLB with only 250 hours. The machine has been outside for 13 years, and is generally in excellent condition, except for the seat. I called Messick's, and they want $698 + shipping for an OEM seat. THAT is NOT the seat for me...

I have my dad's VW Rabbit diesel pickup (60 K miles) that has been in dry storage for 27 years. It is in fantastic condition, and on blocks, but I would like to get it running to sell. I have just ordered a new battery (group 41 is hard to find), but I do not want to just put the...

I just agreed to purchase a 2006 Kubota L48 TLB from a private party,.... original owner. The machine has 250 hours.(average 19.2 hours per yr.) Has 3 rear remotes, plus one front remote with a splitter. Has skid steer loader bucket with hydraulically operated...

Does anyone here have a Greenworks 40V saw with 16" bar? I went to look at the Stihl 16" battery saw, but it has a 1/4" chain. I want a 3/8" chain, so am looking at the Greenworks (China) brand. No anti China comments please, just asking for Greenworks quality/usefulness - personal experience info.

I have a, new to me, 2011 Nissan forklift that will not accept grease in one zerk. I have removed the zerk, and attached it to my grease gun, and grease flows readily. The zerk is located in the end of a pin, and fills the pin completely with grease...

It has been 40 years since I have had bees (I am an old guy), but I am about to play with them again. The local bee population has been very low, and the lack of fruit and berries was particularly obvious this year. It is about to be winter here in the Northeast though, so this is certainly not...

I have a 1989 Ford 1920 that does not have any remotes. I would like to add a two spool valve assy., but cannot seem to make an after market adapter plate work. I bought a nice looking ($96) aluminum aftermarket (specifically advertised as fitting the 1920) adapter plate that attaches to the...

I would like to add a tilt function to my ford 1920 3pt hitch, What cylinder should I use (approx. 16" retracted x 24" extended)? Is there a direct fit available (with proper ends)? What would be a suitable 2 spool valve (might add top function later). Functionality is primary, but overall cost...

My 1989 Ford 1920 4x4 FEL has almost 1100 hours, and I would like to either replace the injectors, or have them rebuilt. Messick's wants $141+ per new injector. Rebuilding might cost $300 for all 4. New Chinese made...

I would like to remove the steering wheel from my Ford 1920. I DO NOT want to damage the wheel, as I will be reinstalling it. My reason for removal is that it will save me $175 in ferry costs, by keeping my overall height for transport to just under 7'. I will also remove...

I have a 1988 Ford 1920 that I had refurbished in 2015. It had 1050 hours then, and has 1063 now. I decided to have a new (aftermarket) clutch installed, because I had an idea that the loader had been used a lot. The tractor has never spent a night outside, since I have owned it, and it had the...

I would like to have some ideas for food plot seed varieties for very sandy soil in Southern New England. The soil is thin sandy loam on the surface, and pure sand 16" below. I would like to plant a 2+ acre food plot, with a crop that will produce a developed seed head, not be over...

I do not have rear remotes, and even if I did, I might not spend the money for a hydraulic top link. The "Hydraulink" may be just the ticket for me! I need to be able to adjust the tilt/cutting angle of my 3pt. forks/rear blade/box blade/tiller/bush hog etc. from the tractor seat...

I have repeatedly read that the slowest gear on an 8N is too fast for a tiller. I have a 60" tiller for use on my Ford 1920, and am wondering if I could also use the tiller on my particular 8N. My 8N (1951) has a Sherman combo transmission, so 1st gear in the Sherman low position is...

Does anyone know where to buy a ratcheting Cat l top link, with the standard ball type ends? They are manufactured by Sparex, but apparently only sold in England. I have a Cat ll ratcheting top link, but it is Cat ll, and it has clevis ends. I am now thinking about cutting the clevis ends off my...

A year ago I bought a 1988 Ford 1920 FEL 4x4 with 1056 hours. This past summer I took it up to Nova Scotia for a thorough refurbishing. We did the work in a friend's shop there. Tractor probably did not need a new clutch, but figured...

I have a 1988 Ford 1920 that does not have a hydraulic remote, and I would very much like to have one. I understand that there is a "Hydraulic Adapter Plate" available for the Ford 1920. Is that what I need so that I can plumb in a remote valve? Where does that adapter plate attach? I...

I have a Ford 3400 TLB, and would like to know the weight of the hoe itself. From Tractordata.com I get a weight for the bare tractor of 3723 lbs. They also give a weight of 1431 lbs. for the loader, but I cannot find a weight ANYWHERE for the hoe with subframe, and stabilizers. The hoe is a...

I am trying to decide what the best/cost effective LIQUID tire ballast is for my Ford 1920 4x4. I will NOT use calcium chloride under any circumstances!!!!CORROSION !!!! Beet juice sounds like a great idea, but the cost for TWO tires: $3.23 x 80 gal (40gal. ea.).= $258.40...

Last October I bought a 1988 Ford 1920 4x4 FEL with 1067 hours. It had 14.9 x 24 R-1 rear tires, but the rims were shot (calcium chloride). I bought new rims, and new 13.6 x 24 R-1 tires as a better choice for use with my new 60" wide King Kutter tiller. My original fronts are 8 x 16 R-1s as I...
