I no this mat sound crazy but it happened to me at the beginning of cold weather last year. A little bit of strange trash fell down on my floor board that I couldn't identify where it came from. After doing more investigation I removed the cover that is between the dash and the hood and found a...

The worst case of this I ever saw was about 15 years ago. I witnessed a man take the entire hyd filter out of a brand new tractor and throw it away then put the cover back on without one. He said that hyd filters were a waste of time and would just leave you stranded in the field when they...

I have had this setup for about 3 or 4 years so I don't remember the exact number. I think I only gave around $200 for it and it came already painted orange. Kubota may not make this style for many loaders but it's the only option for the LA 450 S. I do like the fact that there is no need to...

I just now looked to see where you are from. No doubt it gets real cold there. It seems to me that nobody on this site is interested in the benefits of synthetic oil but it may interest you if you are using your tractor in the cold much. I use Amsoil synthetic oil in every thing I own. One of...

Not really sure about this model. My L 3000 holds around 6.5 qts. The fill port plug on mine is also a dip stick. I would say if yours isn't like that it will have a small plug to remove about half way up on the case that will act as a level port. I used the same oil that the transmission uses...

I haven't fooled with a L 35 but I can tell you what I do on my tractors. After the walk-a-round all I do is hit the key and they fire up. I don't use the glow plugs unless it's real cold. I have always been told that the less you use them the longer they will last. I am just guessing but I...

Be sure to get it as straight as possible when you start it in. Maybe you will get lucky and it will stay put. If not it's time to get out the old tap and put some threads in.

How far down the fuel system do you have fuel before it stops flowing?

One thing to keep in mind though. Your tractor was designed and built when you could buy good fuel. The fuel we have today just doesn't cut the mustard. Nobody but us owners care how long our tractors last. I do agree with you, the more you ask a question the more answers you get.

I put a picture in the gallery of the quick attach system that I was telling you about. If you will go to my album page I have put in several pics including the part number that is for my LA 450 S loader. I have had really good luck with this setup. I can go from bucket to forks in just a couple...

If I had those mechanics working on my stuff I think I would live at the shop.

I agree with you about the damaged lines. I my first solution is much better, I don't know if you read it or not. I personally didn't use the vise grips when I took care of my fuel line cut off problem on my tractor.

I don't like them either. They are a pain.

I agree with Theekillerbee. The vise grips will work great but you no how some people are. They think if you touch a fuel line with the vise grip teeth it will need to be replaced. We have used that little trick for years ourself.

I no plenty of people who run ATF fluid every time they fill up the tank. I use it myself in all my diesels. No fuel supplier is going to tell you to add a product the will give the fuel more lubrication because it will smoke a little more. 5 yrs ago off road fuel had 2000 parts per million of...

I have a L 3000 myself. It doesn't have a fuel shut off. I took a piece of household plastic wrap and placed it over the fuel fill hole and then screwed the cap back down on the tank. It will build a vaccum as the fuel runs out and then stop leaking. I then cut the line and placed a inline fuel...

I think I would go with a new grease fitting instead of reusing the old one. The way I have always put the drive type fittings in is with a socket. Find a socket that will fit around the ball of the fitting but still rest on the base. That way when it's hammered in the fitting won't be damaged...

I don't think any amount of lights you put on a piece of equipment will help. People now a days don't show any respect for a farmer. I really think they believe we are a target instead of the backbone of the country. What a shame. At least the extra lights will make your Kubota look even better.

I can't give you any advise on the setup that you have but I may be able to give you something to think about. My dad always would swap our old equipment over to a old style Ford alternator with a external regulator. It was a easy way to fix our problems. The main reason for that was that we...

It sounds like you have the same type of backhoe that I do. If it hooks up to the tractor in the same way that a normal implement would the 3ph would go down with the bachoe attached. The top link bar restricks it from doing so. Have you already taken the backhoe off or not. That information...
