UPDATE: The TA140-39606 telescoping stabilizers fit seamlessly on my MX4800. These are a must and I would recommend anyone using the turnbuckle stabilizers to swap ASAP. Telescoping ones make adding and removing implements soooooo much easier. I found a set of two on ebay for $154 shipped...

I'm gonna take a stab at the TA140-39606 stabilizers. It seems that they will fit the MX4800, if Whiolegoods lists them as an option for that model. Found a set on ebay for $171. I cant believe they outfit the any of the MX series with the flimsy turnbuckles. Kinda chaps my hide a bit.

Thanks for the lead. I got a nice message from Mark Hodge at Stabilworks. Unfortunately, his lead time is several months and a set of telescoping stabilizers wont be ready til the winter. I need some much sooner.

Update. Got quoted by a local dealer at $405 + shipping for a set of telescoping stabilizers that fit the MX. Of course, in an attempt to monopolize sales, they won’t give me a part #. I’m definitely not paying $405 + for these parts.

Looking to replace the turnbuckle type stabilizers on my MX4800 HST. Tractor only has 50 hours and they are already bent, basically useless at this point. They are very cheaply made. I've seen sets of the telescoping types on some L series tractors and other MX series as well, and was...

I was browsing my local Kubota dealer a few days ago and am seriously considering a new tractor to upgrade from an old L3000DT that I just inherited. I fixed a hydraulic problem on the old machine and it needs more parts (tires, light housings, chain stays) plus whatever problems I havent caught...

Has anybody on this forum purchased parts from Mulligans Parts Company? They have some really good deals, cheapest I've been able to find on internet for a canopy, beating the next cheapest by at least $80. Plus free shipping! They are an online only store and according to google, they are...

The l3000 has metal boots so tearing those is not a problem. The fill cap for the transmission dies have that nipple like cap which probably, even facing downward, still allows moisture/air in. I will check the case breather hose under seat. Thanks for the tip.

So I ended up flushing my transmission with diesel and that seemed to address all my hydraulic issues. The new seal around shifter housing is stout and there are no other noticeable leaks. Hydraulics are working well again. Thanks for all the advice. For a discussion in my diesel flush, look...

I made an update to original post which is also copied below. Any comments welcome! Thanks again for all the great advice! Update: so after a lot of consideration and enjoying the conversation on this forum, I decided to do a diesel flush. I appreciate all the advice and my decision was...

Thanks for the input. I know it’s not rocket science to list, but it’s kinda rocket science to me. How do I know that I’m maintaining the oil level above the inlet strainer? The trans capacity is 7.4 gallons

I had planned to run the engine with cheap hydraulic fluid til it got up to temperature - 20 minutes or so. Then give the loader and hitch some play to run fluid through there. Can I still run it to temperature filled with only three gallons per flush? Or do I have to fill to capacity (7.4...

Good point. Seems though, that cheap hydro fluid is cheaper than cheap auto tranny fluid, at least around my parts. At this point it seems that there’s a consensus that a diesel flush is not recommended, despite the kubota mechanic and my old school uncle’s insistence that it’ll do the job...

Ah, ok. Thanks for that explanation. Sounds like diesel in the pump is a bad thing, even in short bursts

I did overlook that part I guess. If one runs an engine for two minutes with diesel in tranny, how much diesel would circulate through the pump if the hitch or loader are not moved? Does the tranny circulate fluids to the pump immediately upon engine start? Sorry if I'm naive about this, Im a...

A lot of it could’ve been water. It’s completely drained now and some water is evaporating from a drained bucket I left out, leaving behind oil in its natural dark colored state. The odometer reads 740 hours but not sure if it has flipped. It’s run a two bottom plow plenty of times with no...

Would my 2000-2003 count as an older tractor? The l3000dt is a non hst transmission and only has one filter in the form of a small tube like strainer. Are you saying this diesel procedure would have no I’ll affect on my particular tractor?

The tractor is not HST, its gear driven. Have to stop completely to switch gears. Good to hear that I can use only about 3 gallons, not the full capacity. Thanks for the tip!

Update: so after a lot of consideration and enjoying the conversation on this forum, I decided to do a diesel flush. I appreciate all the advice and my decision was informed by, and considered, all the advice. In the end my old school uncle, who has done diesel transmission flushes for longer...

There are 7 hoses. I changed two hoses coming from the valve - one was a quick connect type and the other was a screw on. I thought I might have crossed lines but the connections types would’ve made it hard to misconnect, so I’m mostly sure I reconnected correctly but it’s certainly possible...
