    L3800 dead cylinder

    I would be surprised if it's a stuck injectior as it only has 160 hours on it. I will note that I can crack the injector line on #3 cylinder while it's running and I get a good amount of bubbles before I get a steady flow of diesel. And anytime I reopen it I will get bubbles. I've ran it over an...

    L3800 dead cylinder

    Just upgraded my factory fuel filter to a racor model for better filtration and for the water separator. Once I got the lines bled and the engine running it's only firing on the first two cylinders. Third cylinder is dead, I've cracked all the fuel lines and I'm getting fuel every time but just...

    Gooseneck trailer advice

    Yeah I plan on weighing both tractors one of my next off days. Was just wondering if anyone has went through this before, even with a single tractor I would just double the weight. Any basic gooseneck options I should be looking for?

    Gooseneck trailer advice

    Yes, if possible. I would only haul both twice maybe three times a year though. Any other time would just be my L3800 plus a 4wheeler or SxS

    Gooseneck trailer advice

    Hey everyone, I'm looking into selling my 18' bumper pull and getting a gooseneck trailer to haul my tractor and equipment among other things. I need some opinion's with what I'm trying to do. I want to haul my L3800 4WD with loader and my dads L3650 2WD NO loader both with implements. Measured...

    L3800 improvements

    Finally got to it this weekend. One question though what did you do with the factory vent that was attached to the factory filter housing?

    Winch

    I have a Viper Elite 5000lb wide spool mounted in between the brush guard of my L3800. Its a tight fit between winch and the hood opening and the hawse fair lead and the loader support. Also added tow hooks for the ability to use snatch blocks as the wide spool version has 65' of rope.

    Brush Hog Question

    Are the blades swinging freely on the stump jumper? Usually after hitting something the blades will be pushed back and will wobble until you speed it up or slow it down until they straighten out to balance out. I'll usually idle the tractor down with the pto engaged, disengage the pto, set...

    Fuel Cans

    I have two 5 gal No-spill fuel cans. Works great to be CARB compliant. Only issue is they take a while to empty, probably 3-5 minutes never really timed it though. I sit them on my loader frame and just hold the button down to dispense the fuel.

    Next Project-12V Power Point

    That's similar to one I installed on my L3800. I believe most are rated at 10amps. I installed mine on the right side of the dash. For my wiring I have 6awg wires from the battery to a 100amp relay triggered by the ignition switch going into a 6 slot fuse block also under the dash, and a 10 amp...

    PTO operation on a L3901 with HST

    You can either way, but probably with a chipper I would idle down before switching the pto lever. Just a tip guessing you haven't used a pto before always have the tractor off when hooking and unhooking the pto shaft. A tractor even at idle has enough power at the pto to grab you and roll you...

    3rd function kit

    I had my local dealer install my 3rd valve. Its a WR Long valve. The switch on the joystick isn't the best but it works, no problems so far.

    brush hogging with rocks

    How much experience do you have with a bush hog? They can really take a beating but they are not indestructible. I'm guessing the rocks are big enough to hit the blades, there is nothing you can really do but I would go slowest possible cutting unknown ground. I've hit a chain link fences...

    I drilled into my ROPS......

    That link is a pretty good deal for those who don't want to deal with wiring. I'd suggest learning how to simple wiring projects so it will help you later troubleshooting problems. I didn't drill into my ROPS I mounted a 12" and 20" light bar with u bolts and flat bar. The simplest and cleanest...

    New 3901 owner

    Welcome from the gulf coast. I would contact Hodge on here about the stabilizer arms. I bought a set from him for my 3800, worth every penny.

    L3200 air filter

    My 2014 L3800 only had the outer filter from the factory, I installed the inner filter when it was new.

    L3800 improvements

    Looking at it I can see, two plugs, one ball valve, two nipples, and one 90 degree barb fitting and one 45 degree barb fitting. Does that sound about right? What size barb fittings did you use or what size did you measure the fuel line to be? Thanks

    L3800 improvements

    Do you have a list of fittings you used on yours? This may be my next mod. I can see from the pictures you have some 90's and a cut off valve.

    L3800 improvements

    Yes thank you. I'm guessing you fabricated the mount? Why did you choose this over the factory filter?
