I think the biggest thing on the cold start has to do with the type of injection system being used. A indirect injection system seems to have a combustion chamber that simply allows for faster start. The preheat times (2-3 sec @ 32F -- 10 sec @ 5F) on both my L 3000 and my M 9000 are much less...

I know that my 7100 had a front mounted pump on it and used the right side upright post on the loader for the reservoir. It worked like a champ.

I may be wrong but that sounds like way to much free travel. I looked at the specs for my M 9000 and my L 3000 just to compair what the difference between the two of them should be. 1.4 to 1.8 inch on the M and 0.8 to 1.2 inch on my L. I would think yours should be some where in this range...

I don't really think you are cursed. If that were so you would have a green mower. :eek: I have seen this happen before. A friend of mine had a Freightliner road tractor with a leak in the radiator. The shop that fixed it stuck it to him bad. Instead of doing the job right they just pinched off...

I don't have any pics but it was as simple as it sounds. I was only about 13 or 14 when I fixed my 7100. Using a die grinder really gives you a lot of control when you start to grind the metal back out and start fitting the hub back to the axle. If you take to much out it's as simple as firing...

That sounds like a deal to me. What tire store was that at? I'm real close to Chickamauga.

That sound like one of them hay yall watch this stories but if it works that good them I guess Aquaforce (Capt Candle Wax) just taught us all a new trick. :eek: :D

That sounds like a good deal to me. Glad you got it taken care of.

I just noticed where you are from. We are almost neighbors. In the same state anyway. I have been close to Dallas but never been there. I used to travel all over the state plus some of Ala and Tenn running a trackhoe.

I have seen this many times on my Cat loaders. I always heard it called a "Cold Leak" but don't no if that is the correct term for it. Even on a brand new machine it happens. They seem to start to show their ugly face during temp changes usually when it is going from cold to hot. I guess it has...

Where was the oil at on the tractor?

Do you not have stabilizer bars? These are a little different from what a B model will have. Yours will be on the inside of the lift arms but will accomplish the same thing. It is the only way to keep your implement from drifting into the rear tires.

I guess this is a good example of living in America, we get to make choices for ourself. Me, I would never put turf tires on a tractor that size. Turf tires belong on a snapper not on a tractor, but to each their on. Turfs on wet grass are about as useful as a drag slick on wet asphalt. That's...

What kind of free travel (inches) do you have in the clutch pedal? What position is the clutch pedal (up high, down low) in when it tries to ingage?

I know that the Ga. show would be quite a drive for you. The North American Farm Show Council has Ag shows all over North America. I know they have one in Kentucky and North Carolina that wouldn't be so far for you to drive. The calendar can be seen at www.farmshows.org You can just look thru...

Eric, If you ever get a chance to go you need to make a trip to the Sunbelt Ag Expo in moultrie, Ga. 600 acres of exibits and working field demos. Anything and everything you can think of and then about the same amount that you can't. It's a sea of orange. They have shuttles that haul people...

It sounds like you leave a snail trail behind you when you are looking at orange.

It sounds like they have to follow Eric around with a mop bucket and some handi-wipes.

You better watch out doing that. You will keep on and end up on one of those web sites listed in; About to bust a gut :D

You forgot to add that the tractor goes back home with you that evening so the relatives can't go out when your gone and dry ride it.:eek::eek::mad: What would the nieghbors think of them when they got caught sitting on your Kubota making tractor sounds?:confused::eek::mad::D
