    Sub solier L3830

    I was given an old Ford double shank subsoiler. I have used it a couple of times behind my L35. I can say it will dig so deep that all the L35 will do is spin all 3 wheels and that is with a full bucket of gravel in the front bucket and water in the tires. I could pull it only about 1' deep...

    counter balance 3 pt weight for B3000

    I'm a little confused. Are you trying to counter-balance the FEL by putting a counterweight on the 3pt? Or are you trying to counter-balance the 3pt by putting weights on the front of the tractor? If you are trying to counter-balance the FEL, there was a thread about a year ago that folks...

    L3240 blowing oil out of dip stick

    Here is what my problem was when I had oil coming out the dip-stick and don't know it it is your problem, but worth checking. My first Kubota was an L4150 that all of a sudden started leaking oil. To make a long story short, mud daubbers had stopped up the little question mark shaped vent on...

    L35 - Lost Front Wheel Drive

    Harley, I have an L35 with just over 1000 hours and have not had that happen to mine. My front drive does seem to bind up when it is locked in and especially in a turn. I always try to shift mine out as soon as I can after loading the FEL or similar operation. Please let us know what you find...

    Blue to the rescue

    Reminds me of the time I stuck my new 4 wheel drive out in the middle of nowhere. Thank God a guy with an old Scout came along and got my ass out. Since then, I never look down my nose at what somebody is driving. By the way, you can send all the excess rain you are getting our way. My...

    Troybuilt Log splitter

    I'd suggest putting a pressure gauge in the high side just after the valve. Then put a knotty log on the splitter and see what kind of pressure you get on the gauge. It should go up to 1500 psi or maybe more. My initial guess is that you have a pump problem, but those 2 stage pumps are pretty...

    3-Point Guidance Needed

    I went out to Tractor Supply and if it works, here is a link to what you need. This one is fixed, but they have the kind that is adjustable, which is more expensive. Hope this helps...

    Tree limb saw fabrication project

    I've seen them used on utility bucket trucks or some call them cherry pickers. They have a hydraulic circuit plumbed up to the bucket and have a variety of tools that run off hydraulics, drills, winches, saws, etc. All kinds of handy uses.

    3-Point Guidance Needed

    Robert (Orange Tractors) is exactly right. You need some kind of metal bars that run from the 2 lower 3pt. arms to the top link bracket. These stabilize the lower bars so they won't rise up in the conditions you described. I've seen two kinds. One that consisted of two pieces of square...

    S850 Tiller tines needed??

    I'm not familiar with an S850 tiller, but I purchased a complete set for a 6' Kubota gray market tiller from Fredricks Equipment, Inc., in Hartselle, AL, when I lived in Mississippi. They are still in business as I just called them to be sure. Their # is (256) 773-9951. If they don't have...

    l39 runs in gears 1-4 but slow..

    dszlammer, I believe the L39 is a larger version of the L35 which is what I have. And I believe all L39s have the glide shift transmission which Kubota has used in a lot of tractors both larger and smaller than ours and with great success. I don't know too much about how they work, but I do...

    Shackle/LED light bar bumper

    I understand and have to laugh at myself. You see, I have a nylon tow strap in my truck and rolled up in the middle of it is a shackle almost identical to the ones you have on your tractor! Thanks!

    Shackle/LED light bar bumper

    Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I've read your post several times and studied your pictures and I have to ask, what do you use the shackles for? I have a couple of heavy ones I use occasionally to tie down my tractor or other times when I using chains, but I don't carry them on my tractor. But, we...

    Exhaust Stack

    weistology, I agree with you in that the Kubota exhaust coming out at the front of the tractor gets blown back in your face. The only thread on fabbing an overhead exhaust that I know of here on OTT was the recent one Wildfire posted. I'd love to change mine to overhead and may try it...

    Kubota fork attachment.

    Paul, nice forks! They look very similar to the set I put together. I bought a used set w/ the carrier from the Clark dealer where I used to live. The carrier was 30" wide and I wanted it wider. So I added 15" to each side so the fork's carrier is now 60" wide. I've used them for all kinds...

    Please Help. L245DT 3 PT Hitch Stopped Working

    djb, First, welcome to OTT. Glad you found us. I'm not sure what is causing your problem. Here is what I'd check for. On some Kubotas, there is a diverter valve in the line that powers the 3pt. My L35 has one that I discovered by accident, because the line had crack and was leaking. Other...

    M9540 New Guy Fender Question

    I remember reading a post a while back about this topic. I remember someone saying that in Canada, you can get front fenders for about any size Kubota. I'll have to look for it tomorrow.

    Hub caps on a Kubota??????????

    Looks great, Paul. I've studied your pictures and have a question. How did you drill the holes into the wheel weights? The hole looks too small for a regular drill to fit. Did you use one of those right angel drills? Thanks!
