thanks alot fellas, i do appreciate it.. this is my outlet nowadays, although i do wish i could get my truck finished...wait until you see the trailer im building at my dads place, i could fit probably 8-10 cubs on there!! its not from scratch, i mean it was a 12k lb gvwr boat trailer to start.....but might as well be, some long days put in on it...anyways, hood latches you say..?? hmmmm never seeen those, you know in fact, other than a narrow frame i always thought the latches were p.o mods...guess ive seen more without than with..i welded the holes shut on my 1250...you wouldnt have a pic would you Lew??? do they save from any shakes and rattles?? i have these 1" solid stainless bar with 5/16" threads running through them, thought it would work good to push the dash out some, but maybe im asking for trouble...the hood support does too, but the original is such a flimsy little thing, and it puts all the pressure on the thin part of the dash anyways...dont really feel like going through what i did on my 1250 to make that stainless hood support...although i did do the rear cover, with 1" brass plug...should look nice all polished up with all the rear lift stuff, the .25" is alot less prone to leaking too, im tellin you...any kubota experts know where i can find a crank pulley with any sort of provisions in it??? or if all of the 3 cyl and the z482, (2cyl) have the same crank , spline dia, count?? i did notice that some new bx models have the engine in them back wards still...hope for a new one i guess,? i dont want to try to drill into the blank one i have, or ill have to make one
thanks guys
