Kubota B600 Restoration

-
Ok, so thought I'd post some pictures of what's been happening! Only problem is, I don't really know much about tractor parts or rebuilding one.

Wyatt had a great week! He received a $100 check in the mail to use towards rebuilding his tractor from a wonderful, generous couple! Wyatt was so excited, he said, "mom, I think I'm getting spoiled!"

Stephen is keeping track of the spending... so I don't have the exact numbers, but as of now, we are about $2,000 into it and haven't started putting it back together yet. Parts are hard to find since it's old (1974) and wasn't super mass produced... (the tractor was built in Japan and was only built for 4 - 5 years) and when we do find parts, they aren't cheap! We are trying to keep it as original as we can, but somethings we simply can't find.

It means the world to us that folks are willing to help Wyatt with this project! We appreciate you!

If you want to help Wyatt with his project, you can donate here --->>>
(The money goes directly to Wyatt and is used for his tractor).


Kabota Corporation heard about Wyatt's story and sent him out a swag box with a few hats, and Kubota trinkets, pen, logo's, keychain, and magnetic parts bowl, etc.
I love that #KubotaUSA does this!

Today the pistons, sleeves, rings, gaskets, bearings, and oil pressure sensor was delivered all the way from Cyprus (Middle East)!

Heres some pics of the process....

This little Kubota that his Grandpa gave him has been all he's talked about for the last 7 years!!! I found a picture of him with it back in 2015 when my dad was putting it together.

This little Kubota is going to be beautiful when it's totally restored! Wyatt struggles so much with normal life things, it makes my Mama heart so happy that he gets so much joy out of this little diesel tractor and that he can learn and help rebuild it with his dad!

Shaklee Basic H - 1001 uses

A List of Uses for Shaklee Basic-H  Since there are over 1,001 uses it has been difficult to compile a complete list. So, here are a few to start! First, how should Basic-H generally be used? The genius of Basic-H is that it makes water, the “universal solvent,” penetrate dirt and grime more quickly while then rinsing away easily and leaving no toxic residue. Intensely concentrated, Basic-H’s cleaning power is unleashed when it is diluted in water to the strength required for the cleaning job at hand (spot-test first). GENERAL USES FOR BASIC-H2 and Basic H the Classic  CLEANING JOBS: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to a quart of warm water WINDOWS, MIRRORS: 2 to 4 drops to a pint of water FLOORS: 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water BASIC-G AND BASIC-H CONCENTRATE: 3 Cups H to 1 Cup G (this mix will be diluted in water as needed) OTHER USES FOR BASIC-H Some of these uses are not approved by Shaklee. You can see their official ways to use Basic-H and
