    Prepping a house site and building a house

    That was our thought too, it will be great for letting boots dry/melt off as well as washing our often muddy dog. Both the dog wash and the master (tiled) shower will have low curbs (about 4”).

    Prepping a house site and building a house

    I had built a small shed at my last house and when I sold the property the buyers did not want to pay for the shed. Rather than leave it behind I disassembled it and moved it in pieces to my family’s property near where I am building. Last year I reassembled it there and used it for storage...

    Prepping a house site and building a house

    Ok, where were we again…. The electrician is almost finished with rough-in, as is the plumber. Mini-split linesets are in the walls and the ventilation contractor is installing the ventilation system now. I installed all the radiant floor tubing under the first floor and the hot water baseboard...

    Rebuilding fuel priming pump

    Thank you! I’ll clean it again, it was certainly dirty the first time.

    Rebuilding fuel priming pump

    I’ve cleaned the screen inside the banjo bolt (#8) but I will do it again while I’m there. Are you saying there is a screen behind the plug #5 as well that should be cleaned?

    Rebuilding fuel priming pump

    Pic wouldn’t post in the message above, let’s try again… the part that’s leaking is # 1-7 below.

    Rebuilding fuel priming pump

    Last fall when I was completing routine maintenance I noted that the fuel priming pump on my Cat 311B excavator was leaking fuel everywhere when I tried to prime the system after a fuel filter change. Machine S/N is 8GR00401. I pulled the parts diagram below from SIS, are there user-serviceable...

    Kubota DPF regen cycles

    Thank you, @Ridinhigh1500! It is just doing the passive regen, I try to time it so I’m doing something where I can bring the rpms up for the regen cycle as required and run it for the duration of the regen. I appreciate your feedback on this question.

    Kubota DPF regen cycles

    Thanks for all the replies! Sounds like I need to increase the throttle a bit (I think full throttle on this engine is about 2800 rpm) and otherwise the 20 hr regen is normal.

    Kubota DPF regen cycles

    I have a question hopefully @Ridinhigh1500 can answer although others are welcome to chime in too. I have a Kubota L4060 utility tractor (about 2 years old). It has what I consider to be frequent DPF regen cycles, every 20-25hrs or so. I understand that operating conditions play a large role in...

    Prepping a house site and building a house

    Framing is finally done (for now)! I put up the laundry utility wall in the basement today. The mechanical room has been mostly sheet rocked, I left a few pieces off the walls and the entire ceiling to allow utilities access. Next up the plumber and electrician will continue their thing, the...

    Case 450C

    Very nice, looks like you’ve got about as much snow as us. Any frost in the ground? We have a couple of inches at most right now.

    Taki TB290 being dumped when reaching 5000 hours

    Good eye! I was wondering what caused the paint wear between the cylinders like that but a breaker makes sense. Good points for the OP.

    Prepping a house site and building a house

    Yes, they are. I wanted a fiberglass window for longevity and due to the fact my wife insisted on black windows. All the color options on vinyl windows are “painted on” after the vinyl extrusions are formed and I’m of the opinion that any dark colored vinyl window is a problem waiting to happen...

    Prepping a house site and building a house

    I site-cut all of the stringers for the stairs (three different sets of stairs in total). This was my first time using the rim board material for stringers and I am completely sold. I would never go back to using regular dimensional lumber. The lumberyard stocks 1.25” rim board as a standard...
