    Starter or Electrical

    Was trying to start my Kuboto 2800 (not hydro-stat) jumping it off as usual because its been weeks since I've used it. I was using one of those portable battery thing and it wouldn't start it so and the last thing I heard was from the starter. Sounded like when the starter won't quite turn, just...

    L3200 replacing L2800 and L3400

    I had to replace the transmission sight glass (plastic) on my L2800 so I went by the dealer. They had a tractor they were running a special on. It was an L3200. It's a new model replacing the L2800 and the L3400 based on what the salesman told me. Every thing is exactly the same except the 32...

    Plug for trailer lights hot!

    I recently had my van wired so I could plug my utility trailer to it. When I was unplugging it after using it today I noticed the plug on the van was very hot. It has slightly bulged from the heat. The van lights work normally as do the lights on the trailer. It's a converter and was installed...

    Talk about pests! For most of the summer we've had centipedes. Small ones about 1 inch long. I've read that the were migrating after the use up the food where they hatched from eggs. Every evening the carport would be full of hundreds crawling aimlessly. A cool night every now and then would...

    I keep bending my tie rod on L2800 Kubota

    I bent the right tie rod (the one with the adjustment) on my Kubota L2800 for the third time over a 2 or 3 year period. So I am having it straightened for the third time. They heat it and straighten it for 5 dollars. I wondered if it gets weaker each time and if I reinforced it by sliding some...

    Loaded ATV tires

    I've got an ATV that my three granddaughters poke around on together on my trails in the woods. It has a big rack on the back with a flat section over the rear fender area which is big enough for them to sit. There are some hills I have to stop at and let the girls off because their weight...

    Another church burning in Alabama.

    While I slept last night a rural church 3/4 of a mile from me was burned down. If I had been outside I could have seen the flames. The church was burglarized Monday night and they had a couple of people checking it out last night. They saw the smoke when they opened the door and two of the pews...

    Different size cylinders in a 1930's Plymouth?

    I finally got around to reading some letters I brought home from my mother's house after she died a year ago last Thanksgiving. The letters and receipts were mostly from my uncle to his mother (my grandmother) when he was in the Marines from 1940 through the end of the war. He was 28 years old...

    Anybody here from North Georgia. I just got back from Alpine Helen in north Georgia. We took three of our Granddaughters to Cleveland to watch their babies being born at the Cabbage Patch Hospital there. (They each had twins.) We went on up to Helen to spend a couple of days in the mountains...

    We've seen a couple of neighbors in our very rural area just totally replacing their roof with one with enough pitch to put additional rooms upstairs. We are definately going to talk to them about the planning process they went through and any information on problems and solutions they had and...

    Slime salesmen working overtime.

    I bought a 16" tube at Wal-Mart for my granddaughter's bike and it already had slime in it with a cute red valve stem cap to let you know about it. Maybe they'll go for auto tires next.

    limping home

    I don't have a bh and I've never run out of fuel in my tractor. But after seeing this I may get one. On the other hand can you run a bh without the engine running. Tractor Runs Out Of Gas - EJB.com video

    Thanks for the ideas TBN

    I had a little free time the other day and was able to get some trail making done. My goal is to have open walking trails (atv trails if I had one) giving me easy access to all parts of my wooded property. I am limited in places by thick undergrowth,briers and especially in the summer time by...

    Haven't heard of this method of stump removal

    Anyone tried this: Drill a bunch of large deep holes in the stump and fill them with salt peter and diesel. When/if the level goes down, refil. Later when dry, set the stump on fire. The salt peter is an oxidizer and will burn the wood even if no air gets to the combustion. It is pretty awesome...

    Starter Sticking?

    I just replaced the starter relay on my 1977 dodge slant six pickup. It will work now but most of the time the starter won't stop turning. I disconect the battery and hook it back and it's ok until I try it again. I was wondering if the starter was most likely to blame or could it be the...

    Rear view mirror

    When I use my tractor (L 2800) Kuboto, I have to have it on a public road for from one hundred yards up to three miles. I would like to have a Rear view mirror so the traffic wouldn't sneak up on me from behind and I could keep a better eye on my dog who follows me when I go. I tried one of...

    Where I put my tool box and loose bolts

    I've seen lots of the tool box pictures here while trying to figure out jwhere I could put mine on my L 2800. It needed to be protected because of all trees I cut with the cutter. They push at the fenders and come up at my feet. Following the advice of my dealer I removed my fanny flag and...

    Pictures of trails I have made.

    The reason I bought my tractor of course was to play on, but in the process I also would like to make trails mostly for walking. Access to places which were hard to reach before. Lots easier for squirrel hunting with my dog. I already had some trails which I maintained with my rideing lawn...

    Happy trail making and another scar.

    I read in a post on here that if you could run over it , the cutter would cut it. Well today I put that saying to the test and I was very pleased. I mostly make trails for walking so a lot of earth moving is not needed. I have been pushing the trees and brush up by the roots to clear the trail...

    New here-like to share nine months of stupidity??

    This is a great site here. I just wish I had found it nine months ago before I learned how to professionaly operate my new Kubota L2800 with FEL, Box blade and cutter. The first three or four times I used it I didn't know I didn't have it in 4wd and when I finally found out it was like having a...
