Well my baby turned over 600 hours last week and I noticed both front axel seals are starting to leak. Talked to my dealer and I guess it is normal for them to start to seep with any amount of loader work and mine has done its fair share. They suggested that I replace the bearings as when they...

Just curious if anyone knows a site where service bulletins or recall notices can be found for Kubota tractors? Probably something that wont be on-line but you never know;) Thanks all....

:confused:Well I have just over 400 hours on my 3240 and right from day one there was something that just wasn't right. After using it for over an hour or so and using the steering quite a bit (mowing or loader work) there would be a spot in the steering that would get hard to turn almost as if...

What would the weak point in the drive system of a self propelled front drive mower? The drive wheels? The transaxel? I have a 7hp self propelled mower and I want to use it for some really rough mowing with some really steep berms and such. I have been using a sickle bar rough terrain mower...

Well, I guess I put my HST filter on a bit too tight on my last change because it is stuck on there real good. I have a metal band type filter wrench and I could not budge it no way in either direction. I even put a small piece of pipe on the handle and it started to bend the handle. This is...

Hello. We I think its about time to replace a few pins and bushings on my ford 655-a I have been working on the front end kingpins and steering linkages and am in the groove now so I might as well move to the back end. Questions. How hard will it be to remove the old bushings from the boom end...

Well its time to get a mower for the wife :laughing:to help the mowing around the property. We have about 2.5 achres of rough lawn with a lot of hills and berms. Since its the wife, a ZT is out (have a pond, lake and a 50' water feature) so she needs something that is like a car to...

I know, its like finding gold. I just came from the dealer after pricing a tierod end for my 2wd Ford 655A and I just about fell off my feet. $361.00 plus tax!!!!!! This is freaking NUTS.:mad::mad::mad::mad: I bought one seven years ago and paid about $125.00 It is a typical tierod end that...

I have an old 1974? Chev C65 with a 366bb and a 4 speed trans. Question are, What model transmission would normally be in it and how can I check the oil level in it? It has a leak in the tail shaft as you would expect so I am loosing oil but where do I check the level or add more? Is there a...

I want to put some teeth on my front bucket of my Ford 655 and was wondering, Do I just get some weld on teeth and weld then directly to the cutting edge? My bucket doesn't have a bolt on cutting edge but when I got it (6 years ago) I put on a new arrowhead weld on cutting edge on it. Its about...

Just picked up a used tiller out of a snow bank :eek: at a really good price.:D Does anyone have a PDF or a link to where I could find a manual to this one or even a similar one would be great. Just want to make sure of maint and torque for the slip clutch etc. Thanks in advance;)

YouTube - Kubota L3240 with Elizabeth 2009:)

I love my 3240 and was wondering how many hours they usually put on their units each year, how old it is, and what they normally do with it. I see a great variation of yearly use with the cut's with some that use it very little and others that use it a lot. Just trying to distinguish light...

I have wanted a 30 series kubota for about three years before I could actually swing it in the financial plans and when the time came (and our cad was at $1.06) I went with the 40 series instead. I liked the simple rock solid proven design of the 30 series and if the 40 series was any other...

On my 3240 the top link keep backing off when either bush hogging or box blading. There is a lock nut but it would probably be great at stopping it from getting shorter but doesnt do @@#$% to keep it from backing off.:mad: I even put a vice grip on the middle as a counterweight to attemp to...

I want to power some work lights on the rops and want to pull some power from that area instead of running all the way back to the fuse block (or to the battery via a relay this winter) I thought the 3240 was supposed to have an auxiliary power outlet under the seat in the form of a cigarette...

I finally uploaded some pictures of some of the havock I am creating :eek: at my future retirement property so you can see what my 3240 will be in to. Hard to explain but here is a link to just a few pictures. I have a lot of finish work to do! slang - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Well I decided to get a 72" box blade today and am going to try it out over the weekend. Do you fine gents (and ladies of cource( have any tips on using this beast. You know any do's and don'ts. 1,400 feet of pretty rough driveway with some pretty serious rocks below the surface. I think I...

Transplanted another dozen or so 20' tp 30' spruce at the weekend ranch. I have moved about 60 or so over the last four years with only 5-10 percent mortality. Helps to have a big TLB to move them but the little 3240 sure does make the clean up a joy.

I have about 90 hours on my unit now and about 40 of that was loader work. What I have noticed is that the pins in the bucket linkage seems to be getting a fair amount of clearence. I can have my bucket level and by hand move the cutting edge up and down about 4". Anyone who knows about cutting...

I was looking for a good box blade for my tractor and most half decent units are in the $1,200 range up here but I stumbled on a lot with some auction stuff for sale. I do not know the brand name but for a 72" it is only $595.00 The side pieces are 5/16" thick and the ripper attachment point is...

I am looking at buying a 60" tiller this spring and was wondering how well the reverse tillers work? It looks as if they would make a very nice seed bed with the sifting tines at the back but I am a little worried about either grabing a large piece of clay hardpan or a large rock and throwing it...

OK, I just read that very long older thread about bb and manufactures and my head is ready to explode from all that info. My next purchase will be a bb and I will be getting a med to heavy duty unit with all the features talked about. Captured pins, etc. Probably a befco or land pride 25...

I have about 25 hours on my Squealer SQ160 now and after taking about 12 achres from partly overgrown fields with apple, cherry, birtch, and other brush to a nice planed off look I think I might need to sharpen the blades a bit. I hit some pretty big rocks here and there the first pass through...

I need to weld on some chain hooks to my 724 loader and compared to my tlb the bucket material is much thinner so placement and attachment needs to be thought out a bit more than just welding it anywhere. Any suggestions or examples of where and what to weld them to? I have the standard square...

I have done my research well over the last two years and have test driven every unit on the market in this range and finally decided on orange because of quality, reputation, and the feel of the unit. I originally decided on a 3430 but when the dealer called me with the news that Kubota dropped...

I want to install some aux work lights on the rops and was wondering where the best location to take power from. Is there a place on the fuse block that can be used? Where do most people connect to. Thanks....

Well after buying my new toy I was out of the country for three weeks and work was a zoo when I came back so I didnt have a chance to even work it. Well I put 6 hours on it this weekend moving wet topsoil around, leveling off a few things, and generally learning how to use it. I thought that I...

After a few years of debating and taking more test drives than I can remember i finally bit the bullet and bought a new l3240, loaded r4's and FEL. I will be using it to do some finishing touches to my major lanscaping project that I have been working on for many years. It will take some...
