    Almost Deere to Kubota!

    Just for giggles, see if there are any L3200/3800s in your neighborhood for sale. They are phasing them out for new emissions models that blow flower smell out of the exhaust rather than diesel fumes. :) There is almost no such thing as too much tractor. If the larger model won't make it...

    The first sign was the hat on backwards... I hope the kid makes it to his 30's.

    Peckerwood

    From the guys who know... For a small diesel rebuild, what's in order? De-glaze the cylinders, new rings, a valve job, new bearings? New fuel pump. What would an engine shop charge for a service like that, assuming the block was un-damaged? Its still cheaper to re-build a motor than re-place it...

    Kubota Skyroad

    COOL! How does the rear hopper get loaded? Does it have a dump feature?

    Help L3800 Starter Issue

    Is there a starter relay on the 3800 or is that incorporated in the starter itself? I may be going this route if the battery is found to not be the issue...

    M7040 Smoking with Fuel in Oil - help

    Toyota tried that crap with me on a late warranty repair for valve guides. Motor started smoking and I got it in during the last 60 days of the drive train warranty. My daughter was on top of all her oil changes (every 3K). When the dealer told me the same thing, "You don't have any proof of...

    Help L3800 Starter Issue

    New battery: That is where I am headed. This tractor sat idle for six months after the accident.

    Who sells decent tow behind carts for tractors

    For those wondering about the Polar trailers... I have a 6x8 flatbed converted moto trailer. Great size and roadworthy. But we needed something for trimming trees and yard clean up every Spring. The Polar 1500 is amazingly light, easy to load and unload, and with a hitch welded on the tongue...

    Help L3800 Starter Issue

    From another thread... My problem is the alternator is not charging the battery back up -OR, despite cleaning the battery terminals twice, current is not making it to the starter in sufficient quantities. I get the chattering relay or Bendix sound on the first start of the morning unless I...

    My new attachment

    Stupid question from an Arizona Smartass: Do you have to back the tractor into the snow with a rear PTO snow-tosser? That thing can't pick up going forward can it? How come they don't make a entry chute for forward travel that would catch the snow and guide it into the roto-chucker? Puzzled In...

    Fueling my L3800 sucks !

    Rant ON CARB: MAY A THOUSAND FLEAS INFEST YOUR UNDERWEAR!!! Using a CARB can, I am carefully dribbling fuel into my tank... after about four seconds, the flexible hose off the valve disconnects and slowly slides into the gas tank. DOH!!!! I have spent an hour trying to fish that danged thing...

    Noise when depress forward or reverse - B3200

    Ironman, Water -or condensation, combined with "whirling gears" is the perfect recipe for making "foam sludge." I bought a used '96 BMW 525i and when I got it home, I noticed the same gunk you described around the top of the oil cap. Some of it had formed on the inside of the valve cover. My...

    Tractor won't go fast in any gear

    Left Kanooten Valve? I had never considered that! See! You can learn something every day!:D

    Tractor won't go fast in any gear

    You guys are on to something... Based on the description or lack thereof, (we have no way on confirming either way), perhaps his "mower" is actually an old lock locomotive fitted with ag tires and a mower deck. Maybe it won't go any faster but it will pull a fully loaded cargo ship along with...

    Tractor won't go fast in any gear

    Its pretty clear from your description. Your hydrostatic intake fromulator is hydro-locking in the tranny bowels. It needs a service to restore the de-foaming trans-mogulator or you run the risk of wearing out the muffler bearings. This often happens after running the mower deck through rocks...

    Initial thoughts of Land Pride Grapple for BX25

    Wildfire... AWESOME job on the cover!!! I am in awe!!! Its fun to watch a craftsman doodle something simple like a "cover" into a work of art. How did you wife do the graphics? "Howsaboot" we trade some of our Arizona summer heat for your winter cool? It should average out about 70 degrees...

    Delta tractor blues

    That was awesome! They could play all night on a half gallon! My old Ford F1700 had a really loose throttle linkage. You could get that little two-cylinder sounding like a Harley about to quit at something around two fires a second. With no Hobbs meter, I hardly ever shut the thing off. That...
