    Michael,

    Haven't received my new gasket yet, hoping it comes in this week.
    I've only driven it maybe twice since finding the leak, I miss my tractor!

    I saw a post where Vic mentuoned using pto gear #1 when mowing, I've been using #2 but will now use first.
    Should I use #1 for snow blowing?

    I also noticed a leak at the head cover nut, head cover washer, nut gasket.
    What role does this play and which part do I replace?

    Thanks very much

    Let me know.

    Help!
    Mowing today and noticed an oil leak. I looked over my parts manual and am confident its a cylinder head gasket that I need although not 100% in that decision.
    I would post a pic but am not sure I can do it from my Black Berry.
    If I emailed you a pic could you confirm for me?
    I will also need a part number, although the dealer could probably figure it out.
    Also
    Head of a bolt on my mowing deck snapped off during use. I noticed the blade on the ground when I came back around.
    Any tips on removing a broken bolt?
    Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

    A pile of bad news in a 5 minute span, fack.

    Where is the decompression lever?
    I will change the fuel filter tomorrow evening.
    Tractor came thru today. Cultivated. For about 3 hours. Had trouble getting the tines to grab deep, someone suggested weight.
    I stood on the cultivator and my wife did the driving. Will have to weld some rebar so I can use cinder blocks for weight.
    Started tilling where we cultivated, slow process. Going over the same area twice to get a good till. I will be at at 6 hours tomorrow.
    Is it good to give the tractor a break every couple of hours?
    Thanks for the advise.

    Top hose is where the leak is.
    Can I use any rad hose or does it have to be Kubota?
    I'm tempted to go to the shop and buy a regular rad hose.
    Looking to buy the fuel filter tomorrow. I recall a video which mentions being able to change the filter without having to bleed the lines.
    Something about tightening the filter half on, opening the pet-cock, tightening the filter all the way on when fuel pours out.
    Are you familiar with this method?

    I swapped out the oil filter last week thinking it was something else. Just draining the rear axel fluid now, will have it all changed out in 30 mins.
    Just noticed a rad leak...damn.
    Fuel filter will be replaced next week.
    Feels good getting all the fluids changed.
    Thabks for the advise.

    That's A1 info Michael. I like the point you make comparing the price of a rod end versus grease. I will put together a log on the tractor tomorrow.
    Need to do an engine oil change/oil filter plus gear oil in the rear end and I will have replaced all the fluid other than the coolant. I will buy a coolant checking device tomorrow.
    Where is the oul filter on this machine? I took a quick peek the other day and couldn't locate.
    I cleaned the suction filter last week, amazing the pile of crap the filter caught. I don't think the previous owner ever did it!

    Your friend is lucky to have purchased a tractor from someone so helpful.
    I'm a new owner of an L1801 with loader. Beginning an owner log and wanting to secure a service schedule.
    Can you provide a recommended service schedule?
    Have you got a pdf owners manual for the L1801?
    First time maintaing hydraulic system but I am mechanically inclined.
    Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    The Tractor is 2001 model L3000. The battery was put on the charger and appears to have an adequate charge. I don't think it has the cable, if so haven't seen it.
