I had a problem on my M7040 with the telescoping end balls on the lower lift arms. Not sure if that is what we are talking about. Maybe you are only discussing the lower lift arms having several holes for sliding in and out. The M7040 comes stock with those. (Yes, turnbuckles are a pain.)...

My mobile slaughterer dispatches hogs (as well as lambs and cows) with a .22 rifle using shorts. Of course, shot placement is ideal - between the eyes. He once missed a large steer who headed to the back pasture with the slaughterer chasing it in his panel truck. I went inside and got my .25/06...

Sorry, but my response mislead you about the dipstick. There would be no reason for a sight glass if there was a dipstick. The sight glass is a pain as can be noted by the other posts in this thread. I was just suggesting to check for a milky hydraulic fluid. A dowel dipped in the fill hole...

Sometimes the sight glass looks foggy but it is just the appearance of the fluid. With only 5 hours on it, the condition very likely is not the glass itself. Try parking the tractor on the side of a grade so that the sight glass is "uphill". The glass may clear up. That would tell you it is the...

See if you can check the manual for a lever (as already mentioned) that will change the hydraulic flow from the BH to the 3 PH. My L48 has one. It is hard to spot, sort of out-of-the-way, and if you didn't know what it did it would be totally ignored. The other issue (also already mentioned)...

skeets mentioned the IWB / pulling down the pants problem with heavy guns. The remedy for me is to wear suspenders and a belt. Then a clip is worn on the off-hand side to balance things out. Works great with a "travel vest" over the top for CCW. I use the travel vest as my "man purse". Just...

I take those nuts off with a 1/2" impact wrench (a good, expensive one) and an expensive impact socket. It helps to have an expensive 180 psi compressor with excellent delivery. Note the emphasis on "expensive" for all. Cheap won't do it. It is best to soak the nuts with Ed's Red or Kroil...

I carry a H&K P2000 in .40 S&W. My wife has a H&K P2000 9mm. She shoots the heck out of that gun...very accurate. Makes me sure to be a "nice guy". Oh, and be sure to test several defense loads for accuracy and read to find out about performance. We found the Federal Premium Personal Defense...

OK, final attempt. Since you have not adjusted the gangs for width, the fronts should be toward the middle, almost touching. You'll still get a little strip of untouched ground right down the middle. The rears should be adjusted outward, almost to the end of their mounting tubes. That will...

Welcome. I'm sure you will get a lot of use (some of us call it fun) out of the little beast. Just a few notes: >A diesel engine uses specific oil. Regular automobile oil will not do the job. You didn't specify which was used. >Rust is normal for the underside of the mower. Painting it will...

It sounds like you have checked everything and it all is fine. So I'm stumped about the pulling. The "chain" should be as you have set them. The little bit of slack gives a bit of a cushion if something like a hidden boulder is hit. There will be less damage to the tractor (and disc). A couple...

If the solenoid is getting the correct electrical feeds and is still not working then you have a bad solenoid. The amount of Kubota solenoids for sale on eBay is amazing, so it must be a common problem. If you have gotten the solenoid wet, like from power washing, it is a harbinger for...

It would have to be pretty tilted left to right to pull the tractor to the side. Or, the right side would have to be at a more aggressive angle than the left. I have a Howse disc and, if yours is like mine, it would be difficult to get different angles with the gangs. If you have used a plow...

Sorry I missed your post. Usually I visit a couple of times a day. Anyway, the telescoping arm ends are insanely expensive. My M7040 had them as OEM so cutting off the balls and installing the Pat's was fairly easily done. Several of my attachments are home-made, unusual, Cat 1 / 2, or of...

I'm not that familiar with your model tractor but there should be a drain plug at the bottom of each "transfer case" at the wheels. So it sounds like you did a partial drain and fill. That is far better than no drain and fill at all. Whether you want to go through it again is up to you. It is...

First, those rigid frame quick hitches fit one size only unless they are specially made (expensive) with sliding lower attachment points. If you have homemade or attachments with non-standard dimensions, modifications to the attachments will be necessary. Second, the top link attachment will...

See, you had it right the whole time!

Well, if you are running it to near empty and only getting 5 gallons to go back in then, once again, it sounds like you are relying on the gauge. You are seeing fuel all the way to the top of the tank (15 gallons) and only two bars are showing on the gauge. Try running it to empty on the gauge...

Unfortunately, our tractors tend to puke fluid out of the hydraulic filter hole. If you park on a sidehill with the filter on the uphill side then not so much may be lost. Plus, you have to monkey around with the filter to put the magnet back on. That will take a few seconds more while the oil...
