Bought my L3130 brand new 15 years ago and it has been flawless up until today. Was out moving some brush piles around in FWD when suddenly I hear some grinding and a pop from the LF wheel and oil came running out of the hub. Any ideas what blew? Depending on what it is I will decide whether or...

Just turned over 1000 hours on my 2006 L3130 HST Grand. I purchased the tractor new. I have to say that I am extremely impressed how well this machine has held up. I have had absolutely no mechanical issues in the past 15 years. Just fluids, filters, and grease. It still has the original battery...

Yesterday, when I ran my mower, there was a loss of power when engaging the PTO where it appeared that the engine was running on 1 cylinder. Adjusted the (new) PTO clutch, and did a compression test on both cylinders (+/-200lbs). I noticed the left cylinder plug was wet and most likely not...

Greetings... Has anyone installed rear tire chains on their L3130 with R-4's without spacers or removing the wheels to widen the footprint? I was about to order some chains and went out to verify the tire size and noticed a small plate which is part of the 3-pt stabilizer assembly that is...

It's been 3 1/2 years since we purchased our Kubota L3130 and there has never been a need to move the machine around. Our family has recently acquired some property in a neighboring state that needs some tractor work so now I need/should invest in a trailer. I put a tape measure to the Kubota...

What are the new BH90's going for these days? I'm seeing used on the 'net going for 8K.

Anyone using this setup? Can't seem to find much info on the factory front plow blade kit. From what I was able to find, the plow subframe has to be removed in order to re-attach the loader. (mine is the 723). Is it worth the aggravation? I'm trying to stay away from one of those loader arm rigs...

Yesterday it was time for my 10 hour FEL grease job. While hittin' the zerks, I noticed that one of the small bolts that hold in one of the upper pins went south and the pin was working it's way out. I also noticed while doing a quick walk around that one of the threaded lower link pins on my...

Wow, just realized that I did my 50 hour service on or about April 1. It's just about June 1 and my hour meter now reads 120. Been doing alot of land clearing, cleanup work, and loader work that's been years overdue. Can't say enough good about the L3130. It's done everything I've needed plus...

I'm looking for a decent 6' medium duty landscape/York rake w/gauge wheels. Has anyone seen any "deals" out there? I'm in n. central CT. Haven't seen anything used in my area worth looking at. Thanks.

I knew it wouldn't last but I put the first ding in the hood today. Was out back pushing some felled trees into the woods when a limb let go and came down over the bucket. :eek: Since it's not a crease I probably can pop it out from underneath. Anyway, the 3130 now has 75 hours on it pushing...

Did the 50 hour job on my L3130HST yesterday after picking up a few tips and pitfalls here. The motor oil change was routine. No issues there. Went with Royal Purple 15-40 but I won't tell anyone to avoid catching heck from the oil nazis.:D I then drained the front end which was loaded with...

Greetings: My L3130 is getting close to it's 1st service. When draining the HST and the front end, how much will come out? Usually in these situations there is always some residual which falls short of the capacities listed in the manual. I'm trying to figure how much SUDT I'm actually going to...

Not looking for a brand war from the oil facists here. I just picked up some full syn. 15-40 for my L3130. Is this OK for my tractor during the winter? If not, I'll just dump it into my truck.

Can this oil be found at the local Wally Mart, Auto Zone, or Advance Auto? Thanks.

We store our new L3130 in a shed with a gravel floor. I have noticed a few small hydraulic oil spots in the dirt. I assume that a few drops of oil here and there when the tractor is stored is probably normal. Is there a particular fitting that I should look to tighten that is notorious for...

My new L3130 has about 9 hours on it. Obviously, it still has the factory dino oil in the crankcase. The cold New England temps will be settling in soon and I probably will not have my first 50 hours on the tractor until the dead of winter. Should I simply leave the stock oil in during the cold...

I noted here that a few vendors do carry the shop manuals. Are they worth the $$ ? I am a DIY'er (within reason) and would like to have a soup to nuts book for my new machine. Thanks.

Looks like some decent prices here. http://www.ag-power.com/fairprices.pdf

I've been lurking long enough so it's time to jump in. We own 6 AC in northern CT. which about 5 is cleared. The remainder is low-lying swamp. Situated on the rear property is our 4 stall 24' X 48' horse barn and all the manure that goes with it. Anyway, we have never owned a tractor. In the...
