    L3901 FUEL GAUGE MISBEHAVING

    Started the two year old tractor today for the first time in several weeks. It was low on fuel (1/4 tank) so I started to refuel using the transfer pump and tank on my truck. Fuel gauge wasn't moving and I thought maybe the transfer tank was empty. Nope - plenty of fuel in it. Pumped a bit more...

    Schizo weather

    A week ago it was 0F with 30 MPH winds. Today its 50F, sunny, and calm. The dogs and I like this a lot better. Dan

    Another nothing burger

    New L3901 purchased in April 2021. The regens have been as regulat as clockwork - 40 hour intervals up through 120 hours. Then nothing. I was coming up on 190 and starting to wonder/worry. Did I miss one or is something wrong? Then this morning I had just fired it up to take a bunch of...

    Not sure which I hate more

    Leaves or snow. I think snow - at least the weather is nice when the leaves are coming down Dan

    EZ - Peazy Remotes

    It seems like people post almost daily looking for help adding rear remotes to their tractor. Everyone seems to want a "kit" so here is my contribution to the cause. This is fitted and tested on an L3901 but should work on most "newer" open station L series machines with loader. It comes with...

    Big time score

    Back in the Spring I was shopping for an affordable tractor wheel dolly - wrestling loaded tires around is no longer fun :p Umfortunately (or fortunately as it turns out) every order I placed was canceled because the product was not in stock. I gave up after half a dozen tries. Last week I...

    Bend'em and bend'em back

    Managed to snag the step on my no longer new L3901 yesterday. Bent it back enough it was hitting the rear tire. Jumped up and down on it and pryed it mainly back with a tree limb to get it off the tire. Figured it would be an inexpensive part to replace. Boom!!! -$190 plus shipping for the...

    This is beginning to wear thin

    The PTO safety interlock switch on my new L3901 is a piece of junk. Just a micro limit switch mounted on the lever bracket and it sticks on a regular basis. Good news I am now good at freeing it up when the tractor won't crank. Thinking seriously about eliminating it.... Dan

    SSQA snow plows

    I am in the process of converting an old Meyers ST78 truck plow to SSQA hitch for use on my L3901 and LA525 loader. I am trying to decide on exactly what type of A frame attachment to use. I have researched plows from a number of leading suppliers including Buyers, Boss, Western, Meyers, Land...

    Changes to KPAD website

    KPAD has an new look this morning. Some customizable screen layouts and I would say image quality on the older catalogs has improved. Most notable change (I think its new???) is the addition of a shopping cart which will let you create and download a generic order form (sans prices). Apparently...

    Joys of new tractors

    At roughly 80 hours I noticed an oil leak dripping from the vicinity of the front of the engine. I immediately feared the worst but a little searching of the archives turned up a thread about loose hose clamps on the hydraulic oil cooler. Sure enough that was the culprit. The bottom worm gear...

    Wheel Spacers Wannabe

    I received the two slabs of aluminum I ordered - $153 on my doorstep. I must say the quality of the saw cut is impressive 2.130" thick with .005 variance. Now all I have to do is find the time to clean them up and punch the holes. Dan

    Barely 80 hours and

    Brand new L3901 with 83 hours and the damn thing wont start. I was chopping leaves with a 3pt finish mower and stopped to move some limbs. Forgot to disengage the PTO before I stepped off and it shut down. Not the first time I have done that and I thought nothing of it. Climbed back on...

    Almost (better than??) OEM Remotes

    Its been a while in the making but I am headed down the home stretch. A few odds and ends yet to do and not yet tested under power but I wanted to show it off and get ypur comments. The goal is to find a less expensive alternative to the very pricey OEM remotes for the L01's (and possibly...

    3pt Log Splitters

    One of the main issues with 3pt log splitters is slow cycle times. It takes a pretty hefty flow rate to get reasonable speed and most small utility tractors don't have the output needed. My newly acquired L3901 @ 6+ GPM was a big improvement over the old B7200 @ a scant 4 GPM but still pretty...
