If there is a better place to ask this question, please let me know. I'm working on cleaning up a few old tractors that have old adhesive-backed labels on them. I've seen them peeling off (adhesive failure) and separating (2 layer label, clear top peeling). Are there good practices for getting...

I have been looking at ways to count hours on PTO driven implements to keep better track of maintenance. So far, I've found: Rotating-shaft-hour-meters (Usually requires a magnet and a pickup) Vibration-hour-meters (Just counts time when vibration is high) The examples I've found so far have...

I have a Kubota F2880 that I really like with a 72" deck (Hobby / home mowing). I am looking to get a newer machine, still used, just a few years newer / lower hours. I'm specifically looking for front-mount 4WD mowers. Before just getting another Kubota, I'd like to consider which of these...

I'd like to find a brush that is biodegradable; presumably with the brush made of either natural bristles or biodegradable plastic. I recognize it would wear faster and caster adjustments would be more critical, but I remain interested. I have a Kubota L2162 with a poly brush, I also have a...

I'm just looking at some similarities between machines. Is there an equivalent conventional tractor related to the F-Series machines? I have an F2880, is there a particular BX / Sub-Compact or other machine that shares frame components,or various fundamental components? Thank you, Chris

Is there any benefit to using the steering column headlight on an F-Series inside the cab? I imagine it just results in glare on the windshield... [The steering column headlight in my F2880 is blown which suggests it was used at one point. I'm debating whether to fix it, put in a different...

I received a box of spare parts when I purchased a used F2880 mower. Any idea what these are for? Thank you, Chris

I've had Nissan vehicles for a while, and I know the best places to get OEM parts at reduced prices (And it was never my local dealer). I just got my first Kubota mower and I'm wondering - is there a best place to get OEM replacement parts at lower prices? The local dealer seems to be right at...

I have seen many buckets on front end loaders that have the bucket curl control connected to lift the blade. The system on our farm only uses bucket lift controls to raise and lower the blade. Would we gain much from incorporating the curl control? The plow assembly is going to need some...

I'm looking for a picture of the Ford NAA throttle stop (that I believe bolts to the manifold and hangs down around the throttle control near the governor). I assume other 134 ci engines have the same stop, but I am not sure. Mine is missing and I'd like to make one that looks like the...

I'd like to repair a valve stem with a small leak on the rear of an NAA. The tires hold air and the tread is sufficient, but they are ~50 years old. I only want to repair the valve stem if I can do so at a minimal cost (i.e., not replacing any tires). Would a tire of that age likely be...

I'm working on a John Deere 1640 that will not start if it has reached operating temperature and is then shut off. I assume this is related: when it is summertime, it still needs glow plugs to get it to fire when it is at ambient temperature and cranks quite slowly. I have tested voltage at...
