I'm looking for a backup tractor. I was hoping for 40+ hp, but there is a L3301 HST up for auction. The all knowing google has not been able to find much bad about this model, so I'm looking for informed opinions, good, bad or otherwise. And an estimate of value, in Canukistan Pesos.

Earlier this summer the starter in my M6800 started acting up. Sometimes it would crank over and other times I would just hear the solenoid click. Then it gave up the ghost and would not crank at all. I pulled the starter and bench tested it. Solenoid was fine, but wouldn't spin. I gave it a...

Dave_eng has posted the Denso voltage drop test several times. Today it saved me a lot of time and some of the few remaining hairs on my head. Last week, I went to start my M6800, it turned over and just before it started there was a loud pop and nothing. I tried again and all I got was some...

With winter coming, I'm planning to get chains for my M6800. With a DT/FWA/4WD/what ever you want to call it, can/should you put chains on the front?

My battle with the hydraulics on my M6800 continue... Going through the parts catalogue I find that there is an old and new style of the transmission case and rear cover. The most obvious difference between the two is the location of the dip stick. The old style has the dip stick at the front...

Recently an L3430HST has popped up on my radar, so I'm looking for opinions and advice. First, I know nothing of HST. What would I be getting myself into in terms of operation, maintenance and repairs? Second, emissions controls. Things have changed since the last time I had anything to do...

Try to find a cross reference for Three Bond products, but the all knowing Google has failed me. I have found a cross reference for Loctite/Permatex, but nothing for Three Bond. Specifically, the WSM calls for Three Bond 1901 for the splines on the clutch boss. I'm guessing a Moly grease like...

I have my M6800 split to deal with a shuttle shifter issue. Figured that since I was in the neighbourhood I might as well inspect the clutch. Should I be worried about these small cracks in the flywheel?

I bought an M6800 with a M920 front end loader at auction last year. A couple things have me stumped. First up is this switch on the joy stick for the loader. Based on the pictogram I would have thought it is a lock out for the joy stick, but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything. Next...

Last summer I bought a M6800 w/ M920 loader at auction. When I got it home, I noticed that the hydraulics were flaky. When it warmed up, the loader didn't have the power to lift the front wheels off the ground and the power steering would stop working. I was planning to change all the fluids...
