Hello fellow Kubota people;
My little Kubota L245DT, after much effort, made it home in time for the snow removal phase of living in North Central BC. It started much better than I expected. It starts easily up to 10 below Celcius (approx. 20 F) I started her at about 20 below (0F) one day and she was not particularly happy about that. I could not get a heat circulating pump that would fit. I am planning on building a shelter for my girl this summer and that should really help. I lined up a guy who is going to fabricate a subframe for the Hanmey Backhoe. Hopefully this will preclude breaking her in half again. He is very experienced and stated quite plainly that a subframe is absolutely necessary. So far the only person who thinks otherwise is the guy who sold it to me. Go figure. I will take pictures once the job is done and post. This will probably not happen until May.
I am posting this from the Vancouver Airport as we are waiting to board our flight to Australia. Hopefully the cyclone will have abated before our arrival. The flooding is pretty extensive. Of course none of this was happening when we set this whole deal up. We have rented a little Mitsubishi Travel Van for our stay in Australia so here goes. Upon our return home to the Great White North winter's back will be broken. Talk to you soon.
