    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I left the filter loose and let the fuel flow before I tightened it, then cracked the line loose at the pump. I didn't notice a bleeder valve on it. I'll look for it when I get home. Then I loosened the fittings at the injectors and cranked with the compression release valve open until bubbles...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Finally got it restarted after the fuel filter change. If I ever need to do it again, I'm going to pull start it. It takes forever to get the air out of the lines.

    Small Tractor Large Implement!!!

    Been a few decades, but I used to run a NH super 78 baler with a farmall H once in a while. Normally we put a JD 4030 on it, but if the windrows were light, and we didn't have a lot to bale, sometimes we'd run the H.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Did the fuel filter and tachometer cable. Can't get fuel to the injectors now.

    subsoiler for root removal?

    The tractor supply subsoiler I was looking at (county line)only has one tooth. I figured that only having 15 hp might make me less likely to break stuff. I hadn't thought about herbicide on the stumps, but that's a good idea. I've been planning on dumping some lime on them to make them rot faster.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Reinstalled rebuilt alternator (it tested fine, but the bearings were rough). Pulled out the broken tach cable and the voltage regulator.

    subsoiler for root removal?

    I bought 9 acres last summer, planning on building on it late this year or early next year. I've been clearing the building site. It's been mostly poplars in the 12-20" diameter range. I'll have the excavator pop the stumps out when he's out to prep the site, but there will be roots left, and I...

    Sway Blocks?

    Is there anyone that makes sway blocks for the 3 point on an L1500? Mine came with some chain stabilizers that are disconnected, I'm assuming because they broke. I could fix the chains, but I'm a fan of simplicity, and there's probably a reason that the original ones broke. Any better ideas?

    PTO or engine trash pump?

    Re: PTO trash pump If you know someone who runs a livestock operation that runs liquid manure, they'll have basically the same set up as a vac truck, but it's pulled behind a tractor. The vane pump runs off the PTO. Your bota will be too small.

    L1500dt questions

    I wouldn't think that going wider to get heavier would help. Seems to me that you'd need more down force the wider you got. I don't have a partner, but I do have a chunk of I beam. The I beam probably won't complain so much.

    L1500dt questions

    Think it will pull 5' of back blade, or should I go with 4'?

    L1500dt questions

    I was planning on getting a bush hog if I saw on cheap, but I'm rethink that. I haven't seen very many 48" ones locally; most of them are bigger, and 15 hp doesn't go very far. There was a nice Vermeer log splitter locally that had been converted to PTO for $400, but it was gone by the time I...

    Screeching Clutch

    Did the throw-out bearing get changed when the clutch was changed?

    L1500dt questions

    Thanks, Bill. looked at you facebook page on your tractor. Looks like I'm missing the fuse holder cover. I thought that it was odd that they were out in the open like that.

    L1500dt questions

    I just bought an L1500dt. 1) I'm getting a charging system light on the dash. I brought the alternator into O'Reilley's to get it checked, but they didn't have the right pig tail for it. Napa's alternator tester was on the fritz, I'm not sure whether they have the right pigtail either. I've...
