    Stump grinder build

    Had the tooth blade water jetted out of 1/2" plate along with the holes for the teeth (Greenteeth 700 series). I'm going to be driving this directly off of the output shaft on the right angle drive, so I machined the bore for the coupler so it was a slight press fit. Welded the coupler in place...

    Stump grinder build

    In the process of building a stump grinder for my L3901. Using this first post as a test for uploading images. If I have it figured out and it works, you will see the drawing for the concept I have come up with. It will have an extending boom with hydraulic cylinders to lock it in place...

    MIG Welder Mentoring

    Your way of thinking is right on. What I would do is pull the covers off the machine and look for signs of something getting hot. It could be something as simple as a slighty loose connection or even a bad ground clamp. Best to give it a good visual anyway. Favorite welder in our shop is a...

    MIG Welder Mentoring

    I'll suggest to check your wiring connections from the breaker box up to the welding plug. Sounds like a classic case of a loose wire somewhere along the circuit. Not that I'm against you getting a new welding machine. Just saying...

    Kubota Orange RAL color (RE: Powder Coating)

    Keep in mind there are two Kubota orange colors. The older bright orange and the newer reddish orange. I would recommend testing a small piece before attacking those wheels.

    Powder coating

    What kind of powder are we talking about? Polyester, hybrid polyester, super durable or epoxy? What kind of prep work was done before application? If the surface was not prepped correctly, the coating has nothing to hang on to. There are zinc rich primers which along with a super durable plus a...

    Water seperators

    Thanks Bulldog! Do you see much water? I like the idea of the 2 micron filter. Ever had one plug up?

    Water seperators

    With the new fuel injection systems, I'm thinking that keeping water out of the common rail (is this what Kubota uses?) would only help prolong pump and injector life. What aftermarket separators are you using and what is your opinion of them?

    Pivot bushings for trenching fang

    No reason for that not to work. What did you use for your pins?

    Build ROPS (need advice)

    Gotta ask. What size/shape/specs on the chromoly? I'd trust my own ROPS out of chromoly over the factory unit any day as long as it was sufficient size and shape.

    Appropriate RPMs - L3301

    I'll add to this: When mine did the regen, light #5 started flashing indicating to increase rpm's. I slowly increased the rpm's until the light went off, around 2600. I can't remember if light #3 was already lit or if that came on when #5 went off, so somebody who has been through a couple of...

    Stopped dead

    Check your battery. Had a similar thing happen on my truck. Backed up to a trailer to hook it up, shut off the engine, and when I went to start it-nothing. Enough voltage to work the dash but that was it. Try turning your headlights on to see if they come on. Voltage on the battery should read...

    Appropriate RPMs - L3301

    Sheepfarmer, where are you seeing the percentage for the DPF? I looked through my manual and don't see anything mentioned about this. Was this an option when you bought your tractor? I have a 2015 L3901.

    L3901 and L3301

    I have my tires filled (R4's) plus I added 1000 lbs in wheel weights and it made a noticeable difference in the handling. Much more 'planted' on the hillside plus it helped my grapple work by smoothing out the lowering of the loader.

    L3901 and L3301

    Does his Massey have a rubber cover over the trans that doubles as a floor mat? I agree that the HST is loud and when I was researching tractors, some manufacturers made a point out of 'soundproofing' the HST this way. I'm wondering if that's all it takes?

    L3901 and L3301

    I have a 3901. Did it's first regen today at 15.5 hours, no problems, only took about 10 minutes while I continued working. Just had to bump up the rpm's till the light quit flashing. Ive been working it at about 2000 rpm and rarely let it idle, but I wonder if I shouldn't be running it higher...

    Pilot hole size

    Does anybody know what the pilot hole size is on the rear wheel of an L3901? Making some wheel weights for mine and I would prefer not removing the wheel to measure it.

    Kubota Orange RAL color (RE: Powder Coating)

    Re: Kubota Orange RAL color I was working on the same issue myself. I have 2010 in stock and that is lighter than the Kubota orange. Let us know how the 2008 works out. Thanks
