I'm so ready for some seat time my friend.

great to be back!

Thanks I'm thrilled that its over!

I know typically I have more than one part as well. I was shocked!

lol ha ha well what I dont know I can fake it. lol

my OCD kicked in and this nut mystery is driving me bonkers! lol it does feel good!

so good to be back in the seat of this machine.

thanks Don Love ya brother! was just speaking of you a few days ago. nothing bad just bragging on you, lol hope your ears wont burning to much. lol

@@daveknowshow Love ya brother Say hello to mom from all us viewers.🙂

@@houndsmanone4563 I always let her know when someone mentions her. she just smiles so big and she knows you by name. when ever I mention Don she says your friend in NC? lol ha ha her mind is not to far gone I guess.

that is what I was thinking maybe holds on a bracket. hopeful nothing to vital and I will find it soon before its an issue.

Amen brother I know what you mean. I stop the machine back at the spring in the woods and just sit and listen to the water flow. its really nice. the ticks are horrible right now but well worth it. I pulled about 5 ticks that one day moving brush in the woods.

thanks Dave so happy to have this done. on to something else!

OMG I'm praying for you brother. bee stings are on my list of least favorite things. cant imagine getting stung in the eyeball. YIKES!

yes in deed so very happy to have this behind me.

I'm chugging along brother. starting to get hot here so I may be slowing down a tad. glad I got the tractor done before this heat kicked in.

I'm pretty happy with one nut lefts over. of course my OCD wont let me rest till I figure out where it goes. lol

thanks John so glad to be back!

it sure does sound good to my ears.

like Henry Ford says " if you think you can or think you can't your probably right!"

thanks John I see you looking at another tractor. hope it works out for you guys. looks like yall are doing great with the new business venture.

@@daveknowshow I wish things were going that good! lol It's a friend of mine that is looking at the Kubota.

for real my OCD is kicking in and got me trying to find this missing nut position. lol

I know this one nut is driving me crazy. cant figure where it could go.

I'm searching for that missing nut location, lol my OCD is kicking in hard.

@@daveknowshow I am the same Master Dave, it would drive me "nuts". 😀🙂

aww so nice to have you stop by Love you!

lol ha ha I know right I always have at least a nut bolt or washer left over.

so far so good! hope your move is going smoothly still. Cheers!

@@daveknowshow Yes, almost done SIr and thank you kindly Sir CHeers 👍😉🍻

I'd image that job would run about just shy of 3 grand if I had to guess maybe 2500.00. I'd say its worth it. you can update this when you get the bill and let us know what it cost you at your dealer. it was a lot of work.

@@daveknowshow if it's under 3k i think it's well worth it... it's a big job. But i am afraid it's more than that. But i will keep you posted.

@@homemade6015 thanks

thank you so much and yes please keep blessing us with prayers! sending prayers up for you and your family as well. Peace Love & Respect to you and your family!

lol thats funny I was thinking myself that I may go nuts trying to locate where this nut goes.

I know what you mean , In today's world , trust is good but not to trust is the best ! You did 110% a great job. Missing a spot of 10 MM Nut and you're claiming you're not a Mechanic ! I wish you see me after an oil change. hands , face and all my clothes spoiled with oil ! You're more than a mechanic now go and reward yourself and have a drink on me ! : ) 🙏

@@eritree9794 I did enjoy a nice cold root beer!

thanks Ryan so glad its done.

I like the shuttle. had trouble with one MX5100 I think it was. we put the cheap non kubota hydraulic fluid in it and it never shuttle shifted correctly again. you really cant go wrong with either shuttle or HST I like how the HST goes from forward to reverse much faster and smoother. if memory serves me correctly and you may want to verify this. the shuttle has a lower gear for crawling that the HST does not have. if I could design the HST it would have a 4 speed tranny with a granny gear range equal to a gear drive tractor. the 3901 hst has a three speed tranny. that is what I miss most between a gear drive and the HST. SOME of the shuttle shift models in the M series have a plug and play gear reduction kit you can just plug into the tranny. other models the low gear needs installing at the dealer and its a big deal. mainly these low granny gears are used with "Land planers" not to be confused with a " landplane" which is no where near the same. land plane run about 1500 bucks a land planer runs over a hundred grand. I hope the HST is more reliable than the shuttle. so far I have had zero issues "knock on wood" I have seen issues with shuttle shift. the older ones used linkage and the linkage would jam up over time. sort of like the "old three on the tree" if you remember or know what that is. I'm not sure how the newer shuttle works. it may still be linkage or it may be electrically shifted. either of which can be flawless or problematic. I would certainly ask the service tech personally at the dealer. dont hesitate to ask for a private meeting with the kubota service tech at the dealer you are buying from. you can ask him all sorts of questions and you will likely get a straight answer. I pick their brain all the time. when I cant get my son to answer the phone I head to the dealer drive past the show room to the back and ask the tech. hope this helps. so far I absolutely LOVE my HST.

lol I hear ya on that. well I just started pulling apart a woods finish mower to recondition it semi Bison style. so I may have a couple parts left over from that. lol

thanks for stopping by
