I found what looks like a decent deal on a snowblower for my Kubota. The only thing I am unsure of is that it is hydraulic rather than PTO. Does anyone here have experience with the hydraulic snow blowers? Thanks much for any input Bill

Last week I was sweeping the lawn and caught a fence post with the tire of my sweeper. Tire came off. I was able it put it back on part way, but it doesn't seem to want to go the rest of the way. Every time I either whack it with the rubber hammer or try to manhandle it into place it pops off...

Starting a project to build a steering connector for my duck boat so I can run a kicker motor in the spring for salmon fishing and steer using the main motor. I picked up the connection piece for an EZ Steer set up in a yard sale for short money, so I just need to build the pieces that connect...

I confess to being a bit of a flashlight junkie. I love to get something brighter than the last one. That said, I have a flashlight that I purchased sometime in the last 2 years that is missing the actuator button and the rubber cap that goes over the button. I was in the middle of a mess out...

Looking for a DIY Bedliner kit that has lots of texture. This is to be used in my newly fitted out duck boat. I want texture so that on cold below freezing mornings when the dog gets back in and shakes the floor won't become a skating rink for me and the dog. I have used one DIY product in...

Working on expanding the blind to fit the newly fit up duckboat. The frame is made of 1"EMT as far as I can determine. Anyone know of tools or methods to either expand or crimp this stuff? I thought about clamping the old stuff in the vice, heating the end of the new stuff cherry red and...

My house and garage are 18 years old. Starting to get minor cracks in the foundation. I assume that this is because of amount of clay in the soil causing minor movement. Some internal doors only latch certain times of the year. These cracks allow water intrusion into the cellar . I need to...

Any thoughts on the best place to order parts for my Makita LS1220 sliding compound miter saw? Not sure what happened the other day, my significant other who is very tool savvy was cutting a couple of pieces (she has used it many times before.) The lower safety shield blew up and the metal...

I will be renting an excavator to do some digging around the house and to connect the garage foundation drain to the house foundation drain. Garage floor is terribly heaved and cracked. I am wondering if a smaller excavator will be able to rip out the old concrete given that there are several...

I was under my 2002 Suburban last weekend fixing something unrelated and discovered that there were holes rusted through the main beam of the trailer hitch!:shocking: I tow a 19 foot Grady White so this was a real unpleasant surprise. I tend to take a small ball pein hammer and tap the exposed...

Best friend knew I was looking for some tires for the Suburban and called me last night about a Facebook post he had seen. Turns out the owner was a guy my buddy's son was friends with and the son hooked me up with a phone number. Called the guy and picked them up today. 4 Michelin LTX M+S in...

Recently bought a trailer to haul my Kubota tractor with. I was looking at options for stabilizing the rear of the trailer while loading and unloading. There are many commercial stabilizers/jacks available that will fit the bill, but has anyone ever made their own to fit inside stake pockets...

Was looking for a trailer to haul the new to me Kubota around on. Picked up a 2000 Ringo 20' dual axle with brakes, new lights, 4 new tires, rebuilt ramps and new axles. $1300. This after looking at an unknown brand 18' trailer with new paint and nothing else new, car tires on it and painted...

Just bought a Kubota L245DT with several implements. I now need to have a place to put that stuff out of the weather. I am thinking a sort of open shed, maybe 12 x 24? Put the tractor in one stall and the implements in the next 2. Anyone have a drawing or plan for something like this? I...

My old John Deere LX178 has run perfectly all summer. It has the Kawasaki 2 cylinder FD440V motor. I pulled the carb and cleaned it in early spring and all has been well since. This week I tried to mow the lawn and the tractor will only run with the choke pulled tight, and then without much...
