Tilt Steering.

Can I add tilt steering of my L3301?

If you have a whole lot of time and a very high skill in fabrication I guess it could be done, but it most certainly ain't a bolt on operation.
Might be a lot cheaper and easier to adjust the seat.

multi position seat = tilt steering...lol

What will I have to fabricate, would it not be just a pull and replace a steering assembly? I am retired and 75 years old, I have plenty of free time to do whatever I choose to do, or at least to do until the grim reaper knock on my door, or do whatever I choose to do to floats my boat.

I would think you would have to cut a slot into the "dash" under the steering wheel to be able to adjust it. Are you wanting to be able to move the steering wheel closer to the seat? Or are you looking to change the angle of the steering wheel?

Tilt steering is a sweet option I have it on my Grand L3830 I can till the wheel so the granddaughters can drive then I can adjust it for me to cleat my belly lol.

All things are possible, if you have the time... I'd look through an automobile junkyard, for cars that have it, and see if you can modify the car system, to fit the Kubota steering shaft. I would not chop up kubota parts, and devalue the tractor, but I have been known for bodging up junkyard stuff, and making it bolt onto good stuff...

If that tractor is not very different than every Kubota tractor I've ever seen, there is not nearly enough room to retrofit any automotive tilt I've ever seen. My guess is that if someone was really motivated enough you could do it with an inexpensive universal combined with a good bit of fabrication along with some machine work. I don't think it would be worth it just for the tilt steering, but it occurs to me that if someone were going full hydro steering (perhaps to retrofit PS, or to replace costly broken OEM PS?), mounting the spool valve on a tilt platform would be pretty simple. Maybe even shoot the moon with "tilt away"?

My mistake for asking this question, without investigating further myself. I hastily thought that tilt steering was an option on the L series tractors, and all I had to do was buy a tilt assembly from Kubota's parts counter and just swap out the steering assembly.
Again my apology.

Nothing to apologize for my friend, you asked a question, and the boys had a little fun with you, it's just part of this big old dysfunctional family you joined. You should look back and see some of the answers i got on some of my questions,,,, I had to wipe the screen off for days.
