No need to disassemble a thing!

The problem with the Terex units is that they're nearly orphaned in terms of parts & service. Dealers aren't generally too close (depends on your location, of course) and parts are either obsolete or very tough to get & expensive.

Hi Everyone, I noticed an oil leak from under the bell housing split pin the other day and immediately my heart dropped, thinking it was the rear main seal. However, a few threads here noted it could be the front pinion seal so I removed the front drive shaft cover and found a mess of front...

Hi All: I noticed that my L5030 HST has developed a slow leak around the shaft that controls the PTO engagement (see attached pic). I suspect it's nothing more than a seal somewhere but Kubota doesn't have a parts breakdown of this unit (Part # TD060-51450) and the online price for the...

Easy to find...take Providence/Highway K all the way out to the tree. When they paved the road through the bottoms there, they actually named it Burr Oak Rd.

Here's a Bur Oak we've been visiting since college, in McBaine, MO. Actually the 2nd largest tree in the state: 402 points vs. the champ swamp chestnut oak with 435 points. Still, she's estimated to be in the 600yr old range!

Some of you on larger farms probably have medium and heavy trucks with PTO-equipped options. Here's an account of a fatal accident involving equipment of that nature. Stay safe out there! MoDOT worker killed by machinery - Jay

Just curious... I've been doing a fair amount of mowing late into the evening with my L5030HSTC and have noticed that the front & rear factory work lights are barely sufficient. Actually, the rears are fine, but the front units don't light up much, and aren't much of a complement to the...

Here's a question for those of you who have experience with these units. I picked up a two row unit over the winter, and have spent the last week or so getting it ready for use. However, I came across something I haven't been able to answer via the Deere nor the Yetter manuals. My question...

We got back from Moline, IL and took some time to stop in at the John Deere Pavilion. Outside of just being "cool," the facilities were spotless and the folks there were very friendly and knowledgeable. I've got some pics in the album below, but if you're ever in the area, it's a neat place to...

Here are some pics I took yesterday and today. This crane was working very near our office, and fell into the building while trying to manuever some roof trusses in place. No one was hurt, but this proved to be an expensive mishap! There are also more pics in the album here...

For those interested, I installed the radio in the cab of my L5030, and took some pics to document the process. It was simple & straightforward, and I now can enjoy some tunes outside of just my iPod. Hopefully, some others find this useful. There are comments under each picture that...

OK. So, I've got this great new orange-colored tractor, and I've had to trailer it between two of our properties a few times. However, I've been stumped as to figuring out good chain down points. What I've been doing, so far, is to run a chain through the round cross support in the LA853...

Hey Guys: I've been toying with the idea of moving from blue to orange, and got the following quote. Not know much about orange pricing, I was hoping you guys might help me "grade" the pricing: L5030 MFWD Hydrostat Cab R1 Tires - Ballasted Dual Rear Remotes Rear Windshield Wiper Quarter...

Well, I got the field portion [~ 15ac] of our property cut a little over a week ago, and I stopped to take a few pics along the way. It was an absolutely gorgeous set of days, so I thought I'd share. The Tractor A Perfect Day Finished I Finished II Regards, Jay
