    G2460 fouling #3 plug

    As the subject line says my G2460 mower started fouing #3 plug - looks like its oil, Replace the plug and it runs great for a few minutes then fouls again. Starts easily with or without the fouled plug. Anybody had this problem and was it as simple as a bad valve stem seal? I am not in a...

    The cost of getting old

    Stimulating a backhoe

    I needed to get a little french drain installed in front of a new slab and my trench diggers are on vacation until first of the month.

    So much for calling for prices

    While I was out today I stopped at one of the local dealers to pick up a couple buckets of SUDT2. When the young lady rang it up the total was considerably less than what I was given when I called them last week. Maybe I should buy a Powerball ticket.... Dan

    Hydraulic Top Link

    Nothing special - JFYI. . This is an OTS Magister 2 x 14 cylinder and seems to be a perfect match for my L3901. Does require 1 x 3/4 reducing bushings at both ends. Expect it will also work on the other L01s. My first experience with a hydraulic top link and I am already spoiled. Dan

    Better than OEM Rear Outlets

    When I went to buy an L3901 three years ago I was appalled at the crappy rear remote outlets that Kubota provided. So the first thing I did when my tractor arrived was fabricae an outlet mounting panel for the rear. After several years of using teh tractor I decided it wasn;t optimal and set...
