- Troubleshooting and repairing the hazard lights on the Kubota B2601 Compact Tractor. Very exciting morning for GP! Got a rare siting I have never seen before while having my morning coffee! Take a look and hope you enjoy the video! Cheers! #kubotab2601 #kubota #compacttractor
Quick and cheap fix (with your neighbors bolbs) LOL lucky to see the moose. nice emblem on your shirt and page
Hey thanks Eric! My nephew's girlfriend made it for me. I like it. Cheers!
Good Day GP, very well made video ! You have a marvelous neighbor GP !!! Great for you and us for seeing that Moose !!! Best Regards GP and keep up the good work !
Hey thanks Dave. Big day for me seeing that moose finally. Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors Did you think that building a feeder in the wood at a safe distance with clover hay will bring him back GP ? Deere sure like that !!!
yeah and he runs with kubota too wich there the most easiest tractors to work on and quicker :)
Wow! That must have been magical. Living in a semi-urban area, we don’t see much other than rabbits usually, so I love going up north and seeing all the wildlife. Moose are very majestic, quiet creatures. One of my favorites. I do not like troubleshooting electrical issues one bit. That cost me a lot of money on the Bayou I had, thanks to the first guy that owned it... two words; rat’s. nest. That guy loved his lights and winches and stuff, lol! Just didn’t know how to keep it tidy. Nice to work in a heated shop, though. I don’t have one of those, and I know they bring the patience meter up about 200%, lol! Good job on the fix GP. Take care.
LOL. Heat is certainly a big benefit Jackson. LOL. The colder it gets, the quicker you just want to get it fixed. Loved seeing the moose! Best moment ever. They are beautiful creatures. Cheers and all the best!
About 8 years ago we had a moose up here. Grew quite a crowd watching him. The DEC came to. I get deer on my property off. Got some wild turkey hanging around. I got a big old owl taking up residency lately. Chasing down all the mice and snacking on them. I live near the southern start of the Adirondack mountains here in NY.
Good morning Tom! They are pretty elusive but pretty happy I finally saw her. I wish I had that owl over here. It would have plenty to eat. Cheers!
Hey GP, leave the Moose alone and just watch from inside and they will get braver and come out in the open more and not be afraid of the human scent. Don't let them get to brave cause they sure are unpredictable ;-)
That GUY is as handy as a third hand while hanging wallpaper to have as a neighbor and FRIEND. Help him stock up on a few extra things that do happen on your vehicles to save time in a break down.
It's looking good up there. Thanks for sharing.
LOL ODD! You have a poetic way with words. :)) Yes I was thinking not to go out but to be honest, I was pretty excited when I saw her. I'll keep mindful if she comes back around again. Just such a beautiful sight. Good idea re: Guy. Will do. Thanks again - all the best down there!
Sorry for the late idea but buy Guy some dielectric grease and lightly coat the sockets and bulb bases. Prevents corrosion in damp environments. Just remember to clean it (and finger oil) off the bulb glass with alcohol - or you'll be swapping them out again fairly quickly ;^)
BTW, LEDs worked beautifully on my tractor. They're much brighter. Didn't need to swap out the flasher.
Hey thanks Ron. I will look into the LED's - a couple others mentioned they work great as well. I am sure Guy will have the grease you are talking about. I think that workshop has pretty much everything. LOL. Thanks!
Hi Gord,
It was great to see the moose! That is so cool to have wildlife like you do at your cabin. We get a lot of elk, deer, rabbits and the occasional bear around our place too.
Funny you had that issue with your flashers. I had a similar issue with my tractor. I was changing out my brush hog the other day and noticed that I had a set of wires hanging loose under the left fender. It turns out that the wiring harness had somehow come apart. I am not sure how it happened, but all I had to do was snap the wires harness back together and it was working again.
Hey good day Mick! Yes, was pretty exciting for me. Thanks for the heads up on the wire harness. Mine was ok. Just turned out to be burned out bulbs but I will know in a few days whether there is a wiring issue. So far so good, and I know I use the flashers a lot. I will keep an eye on it though. Be well and have a great weekend!
I think it was Bigfoot not a moose. HaHa. A great video. thanks for sharing. Good fix on the tractor. Keep warm
LOL LJ! It was certainly big enough to be. You too - have a great weekend!
Sure nice to see such an animal,they have moved into our area (my yard) too! What's next,,,bigfoot😎
LOL. Well if you do Mike, then get some video of him! That way you can finally prove it. Cheers!
Gp you should order LED bulbs so they last longer.
Glad it was an easy fix. What do you use the bungee cord for on your ROPS?
Good morning Sean. LOL. You are the second to ask. I use it to tie my camera tripod to the ROPS between shots. :)) Cheers and all the best Sean!
Good to see a moose but I'll have to take your word for it as I didn't see the moose in the Vid!!! Have you ever thought of putting LED lights in? I did that on my tractor and the load on the alternator was dropped considerable. If you do change over, make sure you get the LEDs that can work with flashers. Since LEDs are a lesser load sometimes the flashers won't work correctly. Nice video and I'm enjoying watching them!!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Good morning and thanks Grampie. Sorry you couldn't see it . You may have to watch it a few times. Kind of like Where's Waldo. LOL. No, have not thought about LEDs but perhaps at some point . Cheers and stay warm!
I was surprised to see pre-80’s tech style bulbs in the B2601. It is a basic chassis ground system and worked for years and years when vehicles consistently had metal parts.
Hey Coy. Yes, it seems that I simply burned out the bulbs so the system is working fine. I was surprised after all these years to see they are using the old 1156/1157 bulbs. LOL. I remember them from my earlier days of working in a few auto garages. But hey. at least they are cheap. Cheers!
I bet you have a short. It is too weird that both blew at the same time. I guess if they both blow again, you will know and have to look for it. Likely the tiniest little cut in the wire and when it wiggles into just the right position, it shorts it out.
Hey good day Burbs! I am on the same wavelength. So going to keep an eye. If it burns another one out in short order then I know I have an issue. Otherwise probably just because I use them so much. The fact is they didn't blow at the exact same time but the second one blew not too long after the first one. Thanks for the help! I'll know in a few days if it was just wear or not. Cheers and have a great weekend! Thanks again!
12 min to replace a freak-en bulb errrr
Yup, I thought for sure it had to be an electrical problem. Live and learn. Have a good weekend!
Good morning GP ! Yesterday i had the great honor to participate in the next Joe video ! Joe show me all the project that it done along the years. He really is a marvelous multi talented person ! He built by himself an extension of his house !!! ( the woodwork on his stairs, the wood furniture that he built, the ceramic of his bathroom and everythings around in very nice fine detail and beautiful ). I meet also his very kind wife, he is very lucky family man !!! I'm very honored to had the chance to see him and his family including both of his dogs and all the very technical marvel that he built !!! Cheers GP and take care.
Hey good morning Dave! Thats wonderful. Can't wait to see it! So nice to be able to meet good people. Wish I was a little closer to you guys. LOL. Joe is really talented so I can imagine his work inside is just as excellent as the work he does in his garage. I'll wait for the next video! Have a great week mon ami!
@@GPOutdoors Merci GP and have a good week !
Awesome video man!!! I just uploaded a new video!!! Go check it out🐟💥
Thanks ASAP! Cheers!
Barely saw her. A few years ago we took a motorcycle ride from Portland, OR to Glacier NP. On the Coeur d'Alene River road, right there standing chest deep in the water, was a big cow moose! We stopped, turned around, and pulled over to watch...for at least 20 min. What a catch!!! Just serendipitous, but the highlight thus far. Keep looking, GP! God puts great "Easter eggs" out there for us, if we seek.
GP, what are you using there for your chain sharpener? I see it up on your pegboard with assorted chains.
Good day Graham. Yes, sorry it wasn't the best video but my eyes saw her clear as day. It was a magical moment. Love those moments. It is Guy's workshop - he has a power grinder/sharpener specific for chainsaw chains. I believe it is made by Oregon. Thanks for tuning in!
GP it took me a few shots to see the moose! It may have been around since a while. As you said, you were able to see it because it moved. Now that you will be looking for it, you might see it again! Oddly enough, we don't see much critters where I live. This being an old sugar bush, they don't adventure much because they don't have much cover. Good to have the lights fixed! Thanks!
Good morning Joe! She was hard to see through the trees but glad you got a view of her. Yup, lights were easy - all good. Have a good weekend working on the next exciting project!
That was a very en-LIGHTING video. Stay safe and warm my friend. Later
LOL Mech! You too good sir!
I was relly surprised that you don't have that many moose there, we get them all the time as you probably know. They will come right up to the house and press their nose against the kitchen window. I always worry they will brake the glass. How cold has it been when you have used your tractor? I am curious about that because it is -15 F (-26C ) here now and I am not sure whether I should use it at this temp. Lucky you withe the easy fix. Take care.
Good day AK. That must be really cool to be able to se them so close up. They are probably waiting for you to invite them in for breakfast. I have used it in -38 degree celsius weather. I have a block heater so I always warm it up first in the winter for a few hours before I start it up. Stay warm!
@@GPOutdoors Thanks for the info
Have you looked into LED bulbs? Expensive- yes. But have long hours of life and brighter. Not sure if LED buld to replace 2 way condesent.
Good morning Andrew. Not yet but when I go to the auto place later this week I will check them out and see. Thanks and have a good week!
Wow, such a huge animal. Very nice. Thanks GP. I love nature and all it offers.
Hey me too Dean. Such a great moment. Finally. The mystery moose finally came out to say hi. :)) Cheers!
Moose are majestic creatures! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them on a few occasions in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Minus -15 below?? No thank you! I think I’ll stay in Georgia! Glad it turned out to be a simple fix!
LOL! I'm not sure they sell warm enough clothing in Georgia for - 15. Hopefully you'll come up here sometime and try it out one winter. :)) Pretty excited to finally see her. All the best DIY!
Why didn’t you change both sets.
Good day - great question. I didn't have two full sets of spares. So will be picking up a bunch of spares of both the next time I get up to Princess Auto. Good catch. Always good practice as I know the others will be burning out soon. Cheers!
Nice job! I'm glad you got it all fixed up! Nice and easy, best kind of fix! lol Have a great weekend GP!
Hey LA!! Yup, just a lot of use I guess. Going to hit the auto store soon and pick up some spares. Have a wonderful holiday!
I was thinking you spotted a Cougar hahaha...since they are rather elusive
All the same good catch on the moose
And I might get some tractor time to move a bit of snow as we finally get our first snow fall of the season.....but still struggle to get below freezing considering we are at 55* North Latitude..
Hope you get a big dump tomorrow B! Enjoy the tractor time and dress warm!
Went out and bought a B2601 about 2 weeks ago (mostly due to seeing the capabilities shown on your videos) and already had an "aha" moment. My father owns an excavation company so I've been off and on heavy equipment most of my life, but NEVER on a tractor. Major differences between them. Anyway, I had my rops down to clear my garage and lifted the 3 point to full height. Little did I know the top link hit off the top of the folded rops and turned the top link in to a banana. $58 lesson learned.
Hey good day Dave! Congrats on the new tractor. And glad if the videos helped a little to show you what it can do and what it can't. Still 100% happy with mine after more than a year. Sorry to hear about the ROPs but glad it was not too expensive. Lots of little things to learn for sure. Enjoy it! Thanks for watching and for the comment - safe tractoring!
Hi GP,
It took me a couple of views, but I saw the moose! I had a bull moose walk through my back yard (garden) shortly after I moved up here. Great and exciting experience. We've seen them in the woods a couple of times also. Nice fix on the tractor. Stay warm! Peace.
Good day HH! It was pretty exciting. There are around but you rarely get to see them. Of course now every morning, I stand at the window for a bit hoping to see her again. LOL. All the best my friend - have a good one!
Well GP good catch.....funny that both bulbs went at same time but oh well.....have a good weekend...... :)
Hey thanks Don . Will keep an eye on it. I'll know within a couple of days if it is just wear. Cheers!All the best!
U sure that wasn't a ghost moose?? (Heheheh) Didn't see it, but glad u were able to fix the tractor. As you say, it's pretty rare that two bulbs on the same side go at the same time. Keep up the good work.
Hey Norseman!! Great to hear from you . Yes, I know it is hard to see - it is in the middle of the shot most of the time on the driveway through the trees. Black outline and at the end you will see it up on the driveway and she sprints into the forest. I wish I could have got a better closer shot but she didn't want to be filmed I guess. I could see her clearly with my eyes. Yes I was a little suspect about the bulbs but I know I use them a lot. I will know for sure if the bulb burns out in the next week or so then there is a wiring issue. Otherwise just worn out. Be well and all the best to you and your family!
G P think I made out the moose glad you got the lights working what a friend you have Guy
God Bless All
PaK
Hey glad you could see her a little. Hard to see for sure but she wouldn't let me get closer. Cheers Peter!
What is that bungee on your rops for just trying to learn
Hey good day Allan. It is for carrying my camera tripod when I am between shots. I wrap it to the ROPS. Have a good weekend!
You know it is cold when the snow squeaks.
LOL! So true. Have a great weekend!
