I need to make sure my FEL bracket on my L4400 is tight by checking the bolts. My question is does the loader need to be removed to do this? I have previously posted a thread about the actual issue of the bracket coming loose about 4 or 5 months ago. Everyone was very helpful and after the issue...

Hi All: I've a L4400 with the FEL and a clamshell on the bucket. I have used this loader extensively to back-drag grade, pull trees (clamshell), and Push trees over. The FEL is prone to getting loose where the quick detach bracket mounts to the tractor itself. Last time this happened I took a...

Hi All: I have a L4400 Hydro tractor. I use Agrisupply's Keulavator when hilling my garden. One thing that would make it a much better tool is if I could offset the disk so that it could disk the tire track. I rototill everything with my Landpride tiller before hilling. I have the same concern...

Hi All: I have an L4400 HST. The seat is adjustable but its rearward travel cannot accommodate my leg length or size. This has been a persistent annoyance. Lack of adjustment means my knee will accidentally turn the key to the off position while working, my foot position will not be correct for...

Hi: I have broken the Hazard Light on my L4400 3 times now. The dealer wants 45 bucks. Messicks is 37 and change (includes 13.50+- shipping). I'm trying to find another discount online parts house closer to me in Southern California. However, my searches are not panning out. The light parts...

Hi All: I have a problem. I have a troy bilt leaf blower. The use has made the contacts become either loose or worn. As a result, you can see massive sparks being generated inside the blower housing. To avoid the unit's total destruction I decided to disassemble it this morning and...

HI: Anyone done a dyi olive oil mill/extractor/malaxer/separator? I am planting a very small grove and want to produce my own olive oil. I have a mill and lathe and machining skills. Thanks

Hi: I just got the rototiller hooked-up to my Yanmar 1401. I went to try it out on an area I had recently tilled. The ground was thoroughly broken up and friable. I put the tiller in the 540 speed and started moving forward in low-first at 2000 rpm engine speed. At first with very little depth...

Hi All: My 1401D has a RS 1201 tiller that came with it. Unfortunately the rubber grommet/boot/fitting on the housing for the gear train is shredded. I cannot seem to find a supplier for this tiller part. I don't have the manual so this reference may be somewhat inaccurate (I don't know what to...

Hello: I am putting my 1401D back into service. So far I've cleaned it up, given the battery a charge, looked at the fluids and electrical wiring. Today I'll replace the oil and fill the front axle with gear fluid. My first question is: What type of gear oil does the front axle require? I've...

Hi: I am replacing the clutch on my Yanmar 1401D. I have purchased the pressure plate, clutch disk, throwout bearing, and sleeve bearings already. I probably will only end up replacing the clutch disk and throw out bearing but I have the pressure plate and sleeve bearings just in case. Is this...

Hi: I have a 7100 b that I just brought back into service. I now want to add Power Steering. I have no idea how old the tractor is but it runs without any apparent problems in the hydraulics or drive train. The only issue is there seems to be a slow battery drain (maybe the regulator?). I...

Hi All: I have a working horse ranch in SoCal. My everyday tractor is a 2009 L4400. However, I am starting to put some of my property into crop production and decided I need a small tractor that can manage small jobs that might be otherwise relegated to my Troy Horse. The size of my projected...

Hi: Can anyone tell me: what is the thickest metal I should be able to SMAW weld (arc weld) with a 180 amp welder? Thanks, Jon

Hi: I've a Kubota L4400. I need a sub soiler. I was thinking of building my own . . . fashioned after the Fred Cain version. I will use a sheer bolt on the design. Anyone built their own? Do you have the dimensions/materials. What would you suggest? I need this for my vegetable garden. I have...
