    Happy Girls

    I don't mean to highjack the thread but I have to ask because of something that happened lately. From the sound of it all our dogs, just like mine, are happy, healthy and well adjusted. We've always been lucky with every dog we've ever shared our lives with. Is it just because of the way we...

    Who upset the weather gods this year?

    Kanook, that is what I was trying to express in my first post on this thread. I don't know what is going on but I wish that it would stop. We've been in a drought for the past several years in Texas but the last 2 or 3 have been especially bad. Last year we were in 95+ temps by the end of...

    Who upset the weather gods this year?

    Well, it changed with a vengence here yesterday. All in all, the temps haven't been too bad here this year. It's been in the high 70's, maybe getting to the low 80's but the wind has been blowing pretty steady. That was until Saturday. It hit 98 and is supposed to stay there for at least...

    Happy Girls

    Ah man, that's great. Beautiful dogs. I've got two that are pretty much the same. They can actually recognize the difference between me putting on my work clothes in the morning (they're not too interested) and putting on my going to town clothes (we get to ride in the van). It's funny to...

    I read this and look at the photos but I don't have the words to express what I feel. :unhappy::unhappy::unhappy:

    Who upset the weather gods this year?

    You know guys, I might be starting to believe in this "Global Climate Change" thing, just not the "Man Made" bit. The weather has been really strange in East Texas too this year. The wind seems to have blowing at least 20 mph since November of last year. I think that's about the last time I...

    7800 has no power and won't run!

    That would be a good place to start. When I had a problem like that it was caused by a small leaf that has somehow fallen in to the fuel tank. Took me ages to figure out what it was and get it out of there. I also read on one of the tractor boards that someone had a similar problem caused...

    B7800 won't start...

    I had that problem on my B2400. In my case there was a pressure switch that the clutch pedal engages when it is depressed to start the engine. The pressure switch had slipped out of its retaining spring and was just dangling there. Just had to push it back in place, push in the clutch and she...

    flooding

    Oh my heart weeps for you guys. I know that you both have prepared as best you can and you have a lot more experience of it than me, but when that water starts to rise watch out for the snakes. Those buggers will be looking for dry ground too. When I worked down in La, that's a tip I got...

    Complications from extreme mowing adventure

    I don't know anything about F/NH but in every tractor I've ever owned that screen just slips or slides out. The problem with trying to wash it off in place is that it tends to wash back on to the radiator where it cakes off, cutting the radiator cooling capacity when it dries. It's a lot...

    UPDATE ON UPDATE

    Ah Bill, it's been a nightmare, hasn't it. Glad to see you made it back although, from the sound of it, you didn't strike it rich in Arizona.

    Kubota Finally Broke

    Yup, that's the little booger. Sorry Kanook, I don't know how it's attached. I didn't ask when I was at the dealer.

    Kubota Finally Broke

    Well, I brought the ol' girl back from the dealer today and the damage wasn't too bad, under $180, and that also included fixing a small oil leak on the engine. It turns out that it had blown a seal on the PTO shaft. Now the warning. It seems that there is a breather tube that, after 12...

    Slip clutch doesnt, help please

    Hey Mith, glad to see you around again. It's been a while or did I just miss you?. I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been much help in answering your question. When I replaced the friction plates on the bush hog at the farm, the first time in 30 years, I did it by the trial and error method. I...

    The Day is Nearly Here!

    Oh, that's pretty cool. Good looking kids too. I like to see photos of tractors while they're all pretty and shiny but if they stay that way for too long, they're not being used enough. :) I hope you enjoy it and yes, they do save an ol' man's back.

    Kubota Finally Broke

    Me too. I've got her loaded up and tied down. I'll take her to the dealer tomorrow morning and we'll just have to see what he finds out. By the way, I was too lazy to go to the farm for the ZTR and ended up cutting what was left to do with the 21" walk-behind that I use for trimming. It...

    Kubota Finally Broke

    After a 12 year relationship covering over 1800 hours of use and abuse, the little B2400 let me down. I was out mowing this afternoon and decided to take a break for a few minutes. I parked it, got off and was clearing grass off the deck when I saw transmission/hydraulic fluid leaking out...
