just stumbled upon your post and the glow plug relay issue. I have a 2010 Grand L3940 Kubota and have a devil of a time starting it in cold weather. You mentioned that you ran a jumper wire from the battery directly to the glow plug connector for 10 seconds. Can you be more specific. Do I simply run a single wire from the positive battery terminal to the connector and hold it there for ten seconds. Then try and start the tractor? Wasn't sure if I needed to have the key switch on while connecting the jumper, etc.. I thought a circuit would need a ground connection as well. Just trying to confirm is this is my problem before pulling the dash, etc.. I've already checked the obvious, fuel filter, battery charged, etc.. thanks.

I had the grand l3940 before trading for l4760. The problem is more than likely the glow plug relay. It was built with a relay that couldn't handle the amp draw of the glow plugs. Their is an updated heavier glow plug relay to put on it. The relay is under the steering console cover. A few 10mm bolts to remove on lower cover and a couple of phililps form the gauge cluster. The relay is behind the cluster. It is center relay. When going to dealer to get replacement make certain that the 2 larger terminals are a gold looking color. This is the one that supplies more amperage to glow plugs and won't fail.

I know this is a late post but thought it might help someone searching for this subject. My 2014 L3940HST got to where it was very hard to start when cold. After some troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the glow plug relay which is mounted under the cowling behind the guages. Turns out there was a service bulletin from Kubota in Dec. 2014 saying that there was an issue with the spade connectors on the relay. The connectors were too small which caused a loose connection on the "power" side of the relay. The new relay I purchased from Kubota had much wider and thicker spades but still plugged into the existing relay base. This fixed the problem.
I am interested in a set of winter covers for my LX3310 can you contact me how to order them

Hello Superjet, I'm pretty close to you here in Michigan, near the St. Johns area. I'm looking to purchase a grapple for my MX5800 and would like to fit a good grill guard first. Reading from this forum, are you available to make one? If so, please let me know cost, timing and notable specs, as appropriate. Thank you, Michael

Thanks for the link, Justin. What grade steel do you use? How many new holes need drilled in the factory guard for installation? Michael

They are 11 gauge steel (1/8"). You would need to drill 4 holes on the factory guard. 2 on each side.
Thank ypu for your interest.

OK, I've gotta know. How did you post the degree symbol? I can't find it as an OTT tool. Lynn
Morning all, Just bought a Ryobi battery powered grease gun to use on my b2301 and was wondering if there is a specific type of grease tube I should be looking at for this.

Lance,
I’m sorry that I’m just seeing this! I really appreciate the offer. I actually just discovered the problem was the clogged filter. I do still have a lot of work to do on this tractor and I am a newbie… so I hope it’s OK if I keep your number and take you up on the offer later!
I have a 1996 L3600 tractor that has a broken windshield wiper arm. The motor works, but I am unable to find a aftermarket arm for it . The dealer wants $230.00 for just the arm. This amount is way out of my budget. I am looking for ideas onwhat I can use. The wiper arm has two arms that at 18 inches long and wipes from side to side, not a arc. Suggestions please.
Losing prime on a 9540. It has happened off and on for a year. Now it won’t keep prime more then 5 minute’s. Changed filters and noticed first filter bowl 1/2 full.
looking to buy a rotary tiller for my L2501. Land Pride vs. other (King Kutter, etc.)? Gear drive vs. chain? Hoping a 58"-60" will work, even though the manual says 54". Advice, opinions, experience gladly accepted!

Take a look at the RTR1566 if you can find one in good used shape. Def go chain over gears. As far as rotation it depends on the conditions. If you know the area and the condition of the soil, ie rocks ect ect. If the soil is clean no question go reverse rotaion. If its new to you soil and you are unsure of rocks and other hazzards go standard rotation.

Cheers

Billfishin, can you explain the benefits of chain over gears? I am also exploring a tiller purchase and would like to learn the pros and cons of gear and chain drives
If you've got a grille cover for an L4060... I'd like to buy one. Live in NW Wisconsin, does get chilly here from time-to-time. Thanks!!
