    Loader pivot pin stuck. How to remove?

    UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LET ANYONE STAND IN FRONT OF THE POTA-POWER it is possible the bolt could break if the pin does not start to move, it will happen so quick you won't know what hit you. Wow, I just read a thread talking about hollering, the use of CAPS, I'm sorry I used them in my post...

    Loader pivot pin stuck. How to remove?

    I would drill and tap the center of the pin for a grade 8 fine thread bolt about 1/2 to ¾ the diameter of the pin as deep as the tap will go. The bolt needs to be long enough to add blocking and the length of your porta-power cylinder. Then using a porta-power with a hollow cylinder I would...

    New tractor delivery - hours

    My L3901 HST was delivered with 2.1 hours on the meter. In hind sight I would guess 3/4 hr. hours were put on the tractor during the service tech's owner familiarization, demonstration and practice of the removal and installation of the FEL and BH. In 1974 I ordered 1/2 ton 4x4 Chevy truck...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    My septic tank was replaced after a 1 ton dump truck backed onto it before the house was even built. The concrete walls were pored, the tank set and plumbed thru the wall. The contractor was pouring the cellar floor and backed his truck onto the tank while attempting to dropping his power...

    Machines with turbos- do you let them idle before shutting down

    My diesel engine practice follows the guidelines in the manual for my MH with a Cummins ISC 330. It says to let the turbo cool after hard running. It also states that letting off the throttle during Interstate exits, rest areas etc. is enough to cool the turbo by the time you park. I use this...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I copied this from a previous post I made, in relation to skidding logs with the FEL. Don't want to start a new discussion just a caution warning from my life's experiences. A log skidding horror story, many years ago my brother in laws father owned I believe the first Kubota Dealership in...

    Chain Saw Holder

    I have not had any issue with what I would consider excessive vibration or movement. I am thinking of placing another support bracket from the top of the saw holder to the mounting bolts of my third function valve support bracket, just to add a little more rigidity. Thank you for your question...

    Two Schools of Thought

    Option 1, my closest neighbor inherited the property when his dad died, he is disabled from birth with a hip defect and lives a meager life. It was pain full to watch him try to mow 3 plus acres of lawn, he has dwindled it down to 50 feet around the house. I offered to mow it when I do mine...

    1970 GTO Judge, 455- V8 with Ram Air, 4 on the floor Hurst Shifter, it had 15k miles on it. I was the second owner and paid $1800.00 for it, the care insurance was greater per year than the cost of the car. First owner was 50+ years old and it got away from him on his first snowy road and he...

    Chain Saw Holder

    Since I have gained a lot of knowledge and some great ideas from you guys I thought I would share one of mine. My version of a chain saw holder mounted on my L-3901. Since the placement of the FEL controls prohibits mounting or dismounting from the right side I though it’s a great place to...

    FEL hydraulic issue

    This may have nothing to do with your issue but a little hydraulic system information, I am not a tractor hydraulic expert but do have 40 years in industrial Hydraulic experience, and I am intrigued with your problem. Pressure and Flow in a hydraulic system are two different things. You can...

    What did I get myself into

    mvwood, In all my years in industry working on hydraulic systems I have used many different types of caps, plugs, colored tape, tags, wire ties etc. to identify and keep hydraulic lines clean while performing repairs. Now that I am retired and all those items are not readily available in all...

    BH77 Lifting Craning Capacity

    NIW thanks for the response, the lifting capacity is greater than I thought it would be. I have access to a K12 saw that will cut near 6" with carbide blades and being retired I have the time, I can crack the remaining concrete. My concern is not to have a perfect floor but one that is at least...

    I have an L3901 tractor with a BH77 hoe, does anyone have experience or know what the lifting (craning) capacity of the boom/dipper is? Why, I have a 44 foot long barn that was built 25 years ago, the rear 16’ is on backfilled soil with a brook 15 feet below. During hurricane Irene the brook...
