Ok. I went out and looked at and took some pictures. I had forgotten that one of the ratchet handles got bent. I probably ran over it. It might work or might have to be replaced. You would also need to supply the 2 clevis links. Let me know if you are interested. Edit: JohnThomas, you could...

It is SLOW! Got 2 gateway timeouts and several times did get a response but took a long time. Other sites working ok so I think it is on TBN's end.

My daughter and son-in-law have a 40 acre horse farm and have been getting by (barely) with a BX2670 (I think) with a very small loader. I have often brought my B2620 including the BH65 backhoe to her place to help. Moving gravel, feed, manure and brush hogging is a pain (literally) with this...

On my Kubota B2620, I broke the left front hub. I don't know what exactly caused the failure but nothing a thousand dollars can't fix.

I've noticed several threads that have had some pretty cranky bickering lately. Didn't seem to have much to help the OP. Are we getting cabin fever already?

I hooked up my son in law's snow plow which I fabbed up a month ago. I'm going to declare victory on this project. Later this week I'll weld the quick attach plate to the bucket.

Forgot the pics

Working on it. Cut the 2x2 tube back. Welded in a 2" x 5/8" bar under the the plate and bridged to the 2x2. Got one done. I'll weld up the other side tomorrow. It was a royal pain tho cut that darn tube off.

Here's a close up. I can't see the pin hole.

Picture of radiator. The engine is cold and not running so no leak in the pictures.

I have a pin hole leak near the top of my radiator on my Kubota B2620. The top of the radiator, where the leak is, is some sort of plastic. Do you think if I drill it out to about 1/8" and put in some JB Weld, would it hold?

I'm going to convert my pin on bucket to SSQA. Just ordered a plate and conversion quick attach from Titan. Will post back when parts come in I'm going to cut the pin on ears out of my bucket. The plate will cover the rectangular holes. Here's the parts I ordered Pin On to Skid Steer Quick...

I am almost done fabbing a SSQA mount for my soninlaw 's fel. He has a 40 HP LS. The paints drying on the mount. Now I'm looking at nice fresh black paint on the mount, and the blade looks pretty sad. It's an old Western and is faded peeling powder coat. Will it work to sand the rusted spots...

Update -- it's been 2 weeks since this happened. They tooknow the stitches out a couple days ago. The doctor said it is healing nicely. There is still no feeling north of the cut but he said it will likely gradually return but not totally to the tip. No more medical followup is necessary. All...

Well it happened to me last night. I ripped a 2 foot 1 x 4. After the cut, I started to gingerly slide each piece back toward me being cautious. The problem was I had a marker pen in my left palm sticking out. The pen hit the blade and pulled my thumb into the blade. It didn't get...

Seems someone on the forum sent me a PM about a year or more ago that they had an Easy Change they didn't want and offered it to me for sale but I don't have the pm any more. If anyone has one they want to sell, let me know. Thanks

I have a Kubota B2620 with the LA364 loader. The boom raises and lowers fine but the bucket curl won't dump. I switched the quick disconnects to test. When switched the bucket curls but the boom doesn't work. So I switched them back. I took the loader valve off the tractor, both spools seem to...

Yup, another one. I would like to build my own Top and Tilt setup plus one extra rear remote (3 total) for my Kubota B2620. I know Brian at Fit-Rite is the go to guy and I'm not knocking him but I'm hoping I can save some money by DIY. But DIY means getting help from anyone willing. So it won't...

So if I install remotes with Quick Disconnects and nothing connected to the disconnects, what happens if I move the lever? Can the disconnect take the pressure? Does the oil just go to return via the pressure relief on the valve?

Mark, I have the Everlast I MIG 200. A nut on the regulator broke. See pics. Where can I get a replacement?

The place I bought has a nice white three rail plastic fence around the front pasture. The problem is that the prevailing west winds have caused the north / south runs to lean toward the east. Anyone have the same problem? How did you straighten the fence?

Another tool that could be used is a middle buster to open shallow drain channels. The come back with a backblade to contour the edges. There were times during the project that were dry so ran a garden hose into the channel and let the water show where it needed more slope. I need to do a...

Stunning landscapes and photos. My area is rather flat but I'll offer this.

Here's my great nephew's first tractor. He and his Dad made it for him for halloween. The little guy loves my tractor.

I'm getting ready to work on an old Ford 2N that has been sitting for years. First the fuel system: The gas tank and sediment bowl smell like varnish. There's a small amount of old gas in the tank, maybe half a gallon. I just took the sediment bowl off and opened valve but no fuel comes out. I...

Here my daughter's new to her RTV 900.

You mean like this? I can also mount it in the rear.

I have a LA364 loader. The loader works like it should for up and down of the arms. But it won't dump. But it does curl up. The problem started after hitting something on the left side with the bucket in dump position while leveling some limestone. At first it would dump very slowly but curl...

I need to help my daughter run electric to 9 water troughs to power trough heaters for the winter in Michigan. Her heaters are 1500 watts each. That's 12.5 amps each for a total of 112.5 amps. This is going to be a challenge to do it in the most economical way. Not only are the total amps high...

I'm thinking about building a round bale feeder for the horses. Something like this picture I found. Anyone do this? Opinions or ideas? The wall facing in the picture is hinged and opens to place the round bale in.

Today I knocked a few golf balls in the back yard and some went into the pasture. So what's the consensus, do I need to go find them and pick them up to prevent the horses from ingesting them. My wife says yes. I say no worries.

Michigan man dies after tire on farm equipment explodes | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

I know most people would not want to do this but I'm going to try anyway. I have been trying to find a landplane to rent from equipment rental businesses around the area and no one has them. So anyone around Flint or Lansing or other reasonably close area interested in a day rental of their...

I built a cab this winter. Made out of steel and plexiglass mostly, with a plywood roof. There isnt any sheetmetal on the cab. Its totally covered in plex. There's a lot of noise in this thing. It is solidly constructed and not rattling but its the engine noise that is amplified in the cab...

I am building a cab for my B2620. (See thread here). http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/300825-diy-cab-kubota-b2620-3.html I want to put a heater in it and need help / info regarding plumbing the heater hose. I'm looking at the Maradyne universal which has 5/8" heater hose bibs...

Thanks for all the posts about home made cabs. A lot of good builders out there. I've started my build but will have questions along the way. My first dilemma is interference on the right side with the brake and the loader joy stick. My original plan was to position the sides about a 1/4"...

I'm getting ready to fab up a cab for my tractor. I plan on using 1/8" wall 1 1/4" square tube for the structure. I've done some welding but not a lot. I have an old AC/DC Lincoln stick arc welder. Most of my welding has been on thicker material and it has held up good. But I'm concerned about...

Like most people I have several plastic containers of various mixtures, straight gasoline, chain saw mix, boat mix, diesel, kerosene and a couple of portable propane tanks for the grill. My workshop is a barn with steel siding and roof that I insulated and finished off. I would like to get...

I have a B2620 Hst with about 400 hours. Something is causing it to shuttoff while I am mowing. At first it was ocassional so I ignored it. Tonight it must have done it 30 times. Obviously I cant ignore it. I just wanted to get the darn grass cut before it gets any colder. So it is probably...

He didnt buy it. He sold it...over 2 years ago. :o

I bought the Rip and Dig from the TBN Store for $350 including shipping. Rip and Dig Previously I had purchased the Ratchet Rake for the loader from TSC. I like both tools. My first use of the Rip and Dig was to dig 3 large holes for planting trees in the back yard. The holes are about 48"...

I want to spread about 18 yards of washed sand in my arena. I want to get it 1 1/2 inches thick. So far the plan is to have it dumped on a concrete pad outside of the barn. Then use loader(s) to bring it through the aisleway of the horse barn and into the 50 x 80 attached indoor arena. I have...

My SoninLaw just picked up his grandfather's International B414. It is hard starting. I suspect the spark plug wires are not wired correctly. I know it fires 1342 and I know the engine cylinders are 1 at the radiator then 2,3, 4 working back towards the gas tank. My question is which wire on the...

We bought our place last fall. The previous owner had 4 horse stalls in the arena and had put stone and concrete under the stalls. We broke the concrete up.and hauled it out. Now we need to bring in fill. But before I do I wanted to get advice whether I need to put tile or similar in to manage...

I want to put a chainfall support in my workshop. The shop is in the leanto on my barn. The rafters are 2x12's, 24 inch on center and span 16 feet. The ceiling runs from 12' to 8'. I'm thinking of using 1 inch (inside diameter) black pipe. I'm thinking that I would get 6', drill holes in 2...

Hi Guys, I originally purchased the 2N about 30 years when I was about 30 years old. It was in good shape. I'll look for old photos (non-digital). It was my first tractor (not that I have had many tractors). It served me pretty well considering it has no live pto, and I had no loader. Then...

Folks, Long story, short. A subpanel in the house has had water intrusion at some point and now it has corrosion. What should I do, if anything, to fix this. The back story: We just moved in to our new 18 acre horse farm a couple of months ago. A few days ago, I shut the breaker off to the...

The first one from Reliance Controls is no longer available (according to the web page on the link). I don't know if they are just out of stock or went back to the drawing board on it. I'm going to get the non-contact voltage tester from Klien, mentioned in the second link. If phone...

The walls on the outside were 1x6 and 1x8 knotty pine T& G. We put up the back corner first so we could set the conduit from the buried wire for the subpanel. Then we completed the rest of the wall sheathing. Next the roofing. Then on Friday April 27th we closed up the shell and...

Here's some pics of putting the walls up. I took awhile to figure the rafters out but once we did, we moved along pretty quickly. It was now April 24th.

Then we flipped the floor joist system to put the treated plywood on the bottom against the runners. We used the loader on the B2620 to help but we couldn't take pics of that process. We needed all hands on deck. Then we nailed blocking in the joist bays to stiffen but also to allow a good...

Well, we built it! I lost my phone with pics for a while but my SIL found it in the brush/woods. I'll start posting some pics. I don't have pics of when we cleared the area the previous fall (2011) but we had to cut a few live and a few dead trees out and I rented a mini back hoe to dig out the...

Here's a picture of what I was talking about. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

I have questions about getting insurance that is affordable. We are buying a 19 acre horse farm in Mid-Michigan. House is 3700 sq. ft. (2 family) ranch built in the 1980's. Horse barn is 30x50 gambrel roof style with stalls, aisleway and hayloft above, with an 18'x40 leanto for workshop. There...

We just made an offer tonight on a 20 acre horse farm and they accepted our offer! We are excited! We weren't even looking 2 weeks ago. The back story: I'm 62 and my wife is ...err uh... a year younger. Her daughter just sold her house on an acre so she and her husband could buy enough...

My daughter rents a barn and some of the other facilities at a horse farm from an absentee owner. She gives lessons and boards horses. Well today she put hay up in the loft of one of the barns. There are about 750 square bales up there now. She estimates the bales at about 60# each. There are no...

I sold my 1983 B6200. I just found my old manual and color brochure. If you have such a beast and want the manual, let me know. PM me your address etc. Also have color sales brochure on the Kubota B & L Rotary tillers of the same vintage.

I have a broken "ear" on the door of my wood stove. How would I go about welding it? I have a Lincoln AC/DC stick welded.

My son-in-law recently got a used tandem axle heavy duty landscape trailer. It's 16x7 bed. I put on new lights, coupler, one spring, 2 axle equalizers, all new shakle bolts and bushings, and a break away kit and had the bearings repacked. I think its good to go now.

I stopped by my daughters horse farm today. She said her BX seemed to be moving slow. I tried it and agreed, especially in reverse. It has 350 hours. Any ideas?

I have a building out back that was built on a slab. It is about 14x26. The old slab is cracked. I am considering moving my wood working tools out there and want to be able to move them around on rollers. There won't be any vehicles driving or parked in there. What do you think?

I'm considering trying my hand at growing sweet corn and other vegetables for sale. I've never done this but I have gardened on and off for years. Our property in mid-Michigan (Genesee County) is 3.5 acres with home and lawn and a little woods. I probably have about 2 acres +- that I could...

A guy in my area has a 5' Ford box scraper for sale for $400. It is straight and looks heavy duty with scraper blades on both sides and the scarifires. What do you think?

I just bought this tractor and it only has 115 hours. Tires are like new. I would prefer turfs. Thanks.

Here's a pic.

I found a used 2008 B2620 with about 120 hours with LA364 loader and 60" mid mount mower. I haven't looked at it yet. What do you think is a fair price? He's asking $13500 or best offer. I have been planning on buying a new B2920 with loader and 60" mmm, but this sounds like it would work for...

A few years ago I bought an old rusty 60" Kubota snowblower. At one time I think it was a front mount blower that someone converted to 3pt rear blower. It works fine but needs some TLC. So I'm in the process of cleaning it up and painting it. I'll post before and after pics soon, but I question...

My BIL and I are going to build a stand alone bedroom, guest "shed" at our family's cabin site next spring. We're making plans for a 12 x 16 one story room to be built on 4x6 treated runners a little ways away from the cabin. The reason we are putting it on treated runners instead of a fixed...

I have an old snowblower that works fine but is extremely ugly and rusted. I talked to a local sandblasting shop and the guy said he could blast it with aluminum oxide but I might want to take it apart first so that things like bearings don't get media in them. Or he said I could tape them to...

I am looking to upgrade from my 1983 Kubota B6200 HSD 4wd diesel with only 15Hp. So I thought I would check to see if anyone in or near Michigan was looking to sell what they have. The classifieds don't seem to be used much here. If I were to buy a new Kubota, the model that would suit me is...

Throwing this out there to see. Any of you in or near Michigan looking to sell a good machine? I want to upgrade to a new or late model tractor. I currently own a 27 year old B6200 HSD 4wd Kubota with 15Hp diesel engine. I want more power and something in really good shape. I mow about 3...

I tried a search but couldn't find a specific answer. So any help is appreciated. I have a 1983 Kubota B6200 with a 48" MMM model RC48-62H. I need to replace the mower blades and the bolts are frozen on pretty hard. Which way to loosen the bolts? Should they be reversed, like righty loosey...

Pics? Price?

I don't have hydraulic remotes right now. Maybe I'll add that later during my fel build. So in the meantime, I want to convert my manual chute rotator to electric. I've read some of the threads about this. My question is, about what motor to use? I'll probably use a power window motor but I...

Not much to report yet. I plan on building a fel using P.F. Engineerings' plan. I won't be giving his secrets away here but I'll try to keep anyone interested posted on how it is going and hope to get some good advice along the way. The tractor is a 1983 B6200 HST 4wd with about 900 hours. My...

I needed some weight on the front of my Kubota B6200 to counter the rear snow blower. But I'm going to build a fel one of these days so I may want rear ballast too. So I built a frame that I can hang on the front and put homemade concrete weights in. I put lower lift pins on it for when I...

I'm thinking of upgrading to a B2620 with a FEL and MMM. But one of my concerns is how easy or hard is it to put the MMM on and off when you want to do some serious work with the FEL? How long does it take etc? If it is a pain, then I might consider a rear finish mower. Thanks. Also, who with a...

Anyone know if a John Deere 430 Loader would fit a 1983 Kubota B6200? Would it be too heavy? My Kubota weighs 1350 pounds with no attachments or weights on it. I suppose that in the least, I'll need to fab up custom brackets but if it could be made to fit and work, there is one for sale...

I have a 1983 Kubota B6200 with a ROPS. But the seatbelt was removed at some point by previous owner. I don't even know where it attached. Where could I get a seatbelt and where and how to install it? Anybody have a similar tractor with pics?Thanks.

I want to build a FEL for my 1983 Kubota B6200 HST. Are the P.F. Engineering plans good? What would you recommend? Thanks.

I could use forum members' advice. I have a 1983 Kubota B6200 HST 4wd tractor with 15hp diesel engine that I use for finish mowing on 3 acres and plowing snow. The tractor has 910 hours. I purchased it 2 years ago from my brother. I recently just bought a used rear snow blower and will be using...
