    Need help with discing

    Is this a problem with the three point not dropping far enough , or not pushing it into ground? Three point usuallly have no downpressure, so adding weight to disc would help. Having an idea of what your setup is- tractor and disc, possibly a photo of it attatched to tractor may help us to help you.

    Tractor won't go fast in any gear

    Whoops. My math didnt account for one set if ranges. I wonder what the use of such a deep reduction first gear would be. Pulling ships through the panama canal, maybe. It is super slow even at 2800 rpms.

    Tractor won't go fast in any gear

    I am shocked! But somehow not suprised. Guys cant even have a little fun anymore. Dude, thats no way to ask for help. For example my tractor has a two range trans and a two range diff, giving me 12 forward speeds and three reverse. Its moves slow in low low low.

    Kubota Skyroad

    The older the boys, the bigger the toys. Or he with the most toys when he dies- wins! Last winter was the harshest in over 60 years. Tons of snow and brutal cold. Hope i never see one like that again. I have seen similar machines, but never one with a blade. Should be handy.

    Tire slow leak fix

    Tire slime is what he meant.it will seal a puncture, not a sidewall or rim leak. It works very well, had a demo tire at the parts store where i worked. That thing had hundreds of holes poked in it.

    Inexpensive but tough brush guard L2800F

    Looks like it will do the job. If i built something like that for the one at work, they would use it for pushing stuff. I need to overbuild anything like that x10.

    Kubota Skyroad

    That is a cool machine. I think it would be an awesome landscaping tool. But looks like an orphan, as not many around like that. My kinda toy.

    9.5 x 24 vs 11.2 X 24 frt tires??

    Wolfman,i can imagine that you dont sleep much.all this wonderful knowledge you have stored away has got to keep you up at night. I think good call on tire upgrade, as going taller will tear up a driveline in short order.

    Won't start

    When i got my tractor, it was a no start too, wiring on clutch switch was bad. Replaced bad wire and it was perfect until ground cable went goofy where it bolts to tractor frame. Pulled cable and cleaned it. Its been 100% since then.

    Paint, decals (gotta get ahold of vic) some bright lights front and back. Planning on building some accessories-cup holder, finding a mirror that fits the existing bracket. Going to experiment with the shaking bits and if i come up with something i will post it up.

    L1501 hood/instrument panel shaking

    Hello everyone I noticed this when i first got it, figured something was loose. The instrument panel moves right/left a good distance while driving, seems the lugs on back wheels causing this. I want to paint it, but concerned the oscillating will rub the paint off. Should i add brackets to...

    L3010 HST - no dash lights - will not crank

    If ground is corroded/loose you will still find good voltage. The ground has a lock washer and it permits rust to build up around it. Negative connectios are as important to look at.

    Kubota excavator

    Call your kubota dealer, get a printout of the parts breakdown for the cylinder and pick the parts you need. Should be able to replace the damaged stuff fo less than a new cylinder. Its hard to find a generic cylinder that would work in its place. Unless you have a machinist in your back pocket.
