Lift the loader up where you want it. Find a piece of angle iron about the same length of the distance between the cylinder and the loader frame. Cut your angle if needed. I jsut use a hose clamp to hold it to the ram rod. With a cordless drill it takes seconds to install and remove...

Use what you want, if it makes you feel better. IMHO, I see no benefit in "synthetic" oils...aside from making the parts store clerks a little happier. Most shelf synthetics are not "full" synthetic....I don't feel like typing out the class I took on this stuff. IF they were, they wouldn't...

Cav is not the only problem that tractors suffer. Lack of regular coolant changes also cause problems. Water pumps, cylinder walls, etc. One can check the condition of the coolant by measuring with a digital volt meter. Once the coolant reaches 0.4v (DC) it's time to replace it. It gains...

Same here. Set the bucket on the fender and put the 3/4" siphon hose into the bucket, other end in the fill hole. Little air pressure in the bucket to get the siphon started and it pumps itself while I'm doing something else-like checking tire pressures or whatever. Usually takes about 7-8...

Feedback link out of adjustment on the 3 point hitch. I'm guessing that the engine sounds like it's bogging, or lugging a little at idle speed with the 3 point all the way up, correct? More specifically....the lift lever (the part you move to change the 3 point hitch position) is more than...

Mmmm...maybe. There is always SOME oil vapor that comes out of that tube. And of course dirt/dust will stick to it. But if there's a LOT of air/vapor that comes out when cranking/running the engine, yes, the engine has some blowby. Has it ever been overheated? B7300, IIRC, did not have a...

If it's an "early" L3901, yes absolutely change the fluid in the transmission, as well as the suction filter. Kubota had an issue with contamination and a very few HST filters that would die (yours is a DT, so you won't have that filter). But I've also seen a couple 3301/3901 suction filters...

TSC never seems to have the correct JIC fittings for Kubota's stuff. Always NPT, or too big or too little. Not to mention that 99% of the time they're grossly overpriced for their hoses. Find a hydraulic shop. Also check with NAPA. Don't know what tractor and FEL you have, but sometimes...

Napa belts are fine, unless you've got a 500A alternator, and if that's the case, good luck with a little B series engine making enough power to turn it. Kubota used to use Mitsuboshi belts. Don't know who supplies them now. They have a part number for Kubota on them but not much else. The...

Correct. They are next to impossible to see them, so you have to rotate the pin's retainer so that it points at approximately 2:00 and 4:00 and then attempt to let the retainer fall into it's hole. If you remove the backhoe you can see them more plainly. When properly installed, gravity will...

Assuming your mechanic is a "normal" mechanic.... when the oil change is done, they remove 2 drain bolts, both of which have copper washers between the bolt head and oil pan. Oil drains out. Mechanic puts the bolts back in, then removes the oil filter and replaces with a new one. Then he...

Just thought of it, but have seen a TON of John Deere stuff over the years do the same thing. In all but 2 cases, key switch was the culprit. One of them was mine. RX75. Mowed one evening, parked it, got up and went to work next day. Got home, went into the house and kept hearing something...

make sure the fuel shut off lever or solenoid is in the "on" position. If it is, and no fuel from the delivery valves, then your pump is likely in need of internal repair.

Just pull on it. It'll come off. Have to pull pretty hard on some of them. I've never had one break, that I can remember. Try to use even pressure, hand or fingers on each side and it helps to pull it straight up. I'm 6'7" tall so I get plenty of leverage, those who are a little more...

Perhaps you'll have to climb under the tractor and inspect the wire harness around the MFWD lever and it's linkages. It might be wise to have someone move the lever while you're under it, engine off of course.

It was VERY popular, them and the L3200 both. Kubota manuals are usually available from the dealer. Sometimes you can find them online to download, but I prefer them on paper so that I can take the manual to the tractor.

When you're jumping the starter, you're bypassing EVERY starting system control....key switch, neutral switch, PTO switch, everything. When you're jumping the starter like that, all you're doing is testing the starter and possibly the battery. So you know those two are "ok", time to dig a...

The 4 to 5 hundred isn't that far off really. Not for a 50 hour service which is basically everything. The fluids and filters alone account for a large chunk of that cost. Wait til you see what it costs for a 50 hour on an M series. Upwards of $1000 and more in some cases. It's hard to...

Lever's probably bent. Could also be fender bent a little and possibly a sticker that is not quite lined up where it should be. Seen all of the above. I can't remember which tractor it was, but one of them I dealt with at one time, the internal shift lever was bent. I think it was a B7500HSD...

Haven't been into a 4030 in a while, but does it have a suction screen in the transmission?
