    L3901 New Seat

    I don't know for sure but I would think your L3800 probably has the same seat on it. It took me about a 1/2 hour to put it on. I removed the slide mech. from the new seat and just used the original seats front to back slide mech. I love the ability to adjust the backrest, armrest and headrest...

    L3901 New Seat

    I bought it at Tractor Supply. All I had to do is remove it's bracket and replace it with the original one from my Kubota seat it took drilling two 5/16" holes in the original bracket to make it work in the new seat and if I ever want to go back it will be super easy. The seat sells for 289 but...

    L3901 New Seat

    I couldn't get armrest for the original seat because Kubota doesn't offer any for the L 01 series tractors so off the old seat came and on with a new one. The new seat has armrest, headrest, and backrest all are adjustable. :)

    L3901 Armrest / Draft control

    Anyone know of any armrest that will work on a L3901 the dealer claims there are none listed for it but the seat looks there are 3 points on each side of the seat for brackets. I'd also like to know if a draft control is available for this machine I couldn't find anything on Messick's parts site.

    Trying to get both features in one tire

    I needed good traction in the mud because I have a wet lands area on my property and I ended up trading the R4s in for the R1 tires but I went with the Radial galaxy 320/85R24 rears for extra traction in the mud. I have the rear tires loaded and the front tires foam filled it pulls around in...

    PTO speed for finishing mower

    I pull a Land Pride 35-90 behind my L3901 and have always run it at 540 pto speed on the tach haven't had any problems yet. Owners manual says run at 540 I doubt you're saving much fuel unless you're running it much slower and I wouldn't think that would be to good on the mower or tractor.

    Tire width

    I don't see the difference in your chart they appear to be the same height just a different width. Ok I see it now I didn't understand the numbers the 85 stands for the height based on a percentage of the width. According to Carlisle tire's website the 14.9 mounted diameter is about 6"...
