    3 point lift problem

    It sounds to me that you may be using the levers improperly. As Vic said, you have two levers, a height control lever (or position control) and a draft control. You choose which function you want and use that lever. The other lever should be in the full down position. Position or height control...

    L39 Tractor Split at 350 hours

    I'm talking about the front wheel drive drive shaft seal. It is the most likely cause of leakage. Engine seals and transmission input seals rarely leak.

    L39 Tractor Split at 350 hours

    Are they real sure it is a rear engine seal? It is very rare for that seal to leak! The front wheel drive shaft seal sometimes leaks though. Have them remove the front wheel drive shaft cover to see if/ and what oil is there. there shouldn't be any oil in the cover.

    overriding clutch

    Hi Lucky The whole purpose of the overrunning clutch is so the PTO impliment can continue to rotate without actually driving the tractor. If you can turn the PTO shaft clockwise when it is engaged without turning the engine you HAVE an overunning clutch. My parts book says you should have one.

    B3030 Hst tranny fluid noise. Normal???

    All other new cabbed Kubota's are much quieter than the B3030 too.It would be much better if this tractor was quieter alright but Kubota took an existing model and made a cab unit to fill a market demand for that size tractor. unfortunately the B's are not quiet tractors! Not so noticeable...

    overriding clutch

    Hi Lucky It sounds to me like your tractor DOES have an overrunning clutch. If you engage the PTO with the engine off and you didn't have overrunning you wouldn't be able to turn the shaft either way without turning the engine.

    New B7100 model kubota

    If you want a new tractor why not a B2320? A little more power than a B7100 but a LOT more refinement and features. Don't be scared of your local Kubota dealer! Even a new BX1850 will do anything a B7100 does. Even though it is a lower profile tractor with smaller diameter tires it still is an...

    Happy New Year from Newfoundland

    I haven't sold any yet. You probably noticed that they are electric powered and that the yellow trike is all wheel drive.

    M9000 hyd. shuttle.

    The Hydraulic shuttle on your M9000 is simply two multiple disc clutches, one for forward and one for reverse, that are actuated by hydraulic pressure. They take the place of a standard clutch, and are operated just like any other clutch from the drivers perspective. The feature it provides over...

    Drilled Hole into Engine Block

    I Guess we should check for a hole in the block behind the block heater the next time we find a tractor with ant-freeze in the oil. The owner may have just patched it with gum or something! LOL! I KNOW there are many ways that hole could be plugged but. really now, which one of you would want to...

    power steering rebuild kit for L275

    It sounds to me like you have a power assist type cylinder with an integral valve. Kits for them are usually expensive and they do give a lot of trouble. I have successfully installed the power assist cylinder from old Massey combines onto a couple of older Kubota's. the parts for them are...

    Drilled Hole into Engine Block

    Many of you don't seem to understand how thin the cylinders are in modern engines. I don't believe a pipe plug would work very well. you would be lucky to get a couple of threads and the risk of it protruding into the cylinder and contacting the piston skirt would be huge! Of course dealers want...

    Drilled Hole into Engine Block

    It might be possible to weld it alright . the screw idea could work as well but the cylinder is quite thin and you'd have to be sure the screw didn't protrude into the cylinder or the piston would hit it! Ed

    540 RPM or 960 RPM on 4' Snow blower~???

    Well, that isn't entirely true! A rig has to turn fast enough to do the job! My snowblower runs at 1000 rpm but it is designed for that speed. I don't know the ratios on your machine and I can't tell from the picture if it is single or duel stage. In either case the fan that is blowing the snow...

    Drilled Hole into Engine Block

    You are not really drilling blind into the engine block. You just drill through the thin steel frost plug and stop there. I have drilled hundreds of them. Driving them in, turning them and prying them out is not without it's risks too. I use both methods but much prefer drilling if I can!
