The Kubota has the factory quick attach setup from 12 years ago. Today the skidsteer quick attach seems to be the standard. I use the forks much more than the bucket along with the carrier I had built long ago. I need a grapple. I have no interest in converting what I already have. I've looked...

I've never been happy with the battery location in front of the radiator on the L3710. I'm looking at relocating it to a position on the right hand loader upright. There seems to be enough room to mount a battery holder behind the upright. Anyone relocate the battery on their tractor?

I have a 1999 Kubota L3710 Hydro with all of 600 hours. The throttle has always been stiff. It consists of rods and levers that eventually transfer the motion to a push on a long rod which acts on a lever to control the injection pump. It turns out Kubota welded instead of bolting the bracket...

I've got a Farmi JL601 logging winch I've used a few times on a small (L3710 Kubota) tractor. It weighs 950 lbs, has a capacity of 13,000 lbs and is designed for a 60 to 150 hp tractor. Any idea what a reasonable asking price would be?

I haven't noticed the whine before. The tractor has been parked for over a year. Yesterday I put a battery in and it started fine. I didn't run it much yesterday. Today I bushhogged for about an hour and I noticed a high pitched whine that's new to me. The higher the RPM the louder the whine. I...

A friend is trying to determine which transmission is on his Bolens with a twin cylinder Kohler engine. It uses a NAPA 7430 filter which is on the left side of the trans. How can we tell if it's an Eaton or Sunstrand unit? Does anyone have any pictures?

I recently bought a Kubota B6200 hydrostatic tractor. In addition to the rear pto it has a mid pto with the shaft facing toward the front to drive the mower from the rear. This past weekend I got a belly mower that came off of a Kubota B5200 gear drive tractor. Included with the mower was a...

Periodically we get batteries in to fill with acid. Typically they come packed 18 per pallet with the battery and the associated 2 gal jug of acid boxed separately but wrapped in cardboard as a unit. Yesterday we had 44 batteries to fill. Needless to say it takes awhile to pour 2 gals of acid...

Periodically I mount 24" truck tires. The number usually varies from 40 to 60. Most times the tires are "aired up" at night for safety reasons. I've found that using a regulator on the air line slows things up. It seems to take forever to get to 90 psi. On the other hand by eliminating the...

I used my L3710 on a job last summer scrapping seven aluminum railcar hoppers. I need to be able to substantiate a rental charge. The tractor is a hydrostatic w/ loader, two remotes, and solid foam filled tires. I'll probably have to sue for the money so I need something to provide the...

The dealer sold me a box of sections which turned out to be the wrong ones even though they supposedly came from the distributor that sold the mower. My guess is they didn't. The holes have a dia. slightly larger than 6mm. From base to tip the knife sections measure 88mm. Anyone have a source?

I'm trying to make an extension for the bowl on a water separator to allow more water storage before the unit has to be drained. A piece of 3" OD SS (or aluminum) pipe with a wall thickness of 3/8" to 1/2" would work. Thicker would be better because I want to add a water sensor on the side. If I...

Do you get technical service bulletins or recall notices from the manufacturers? Inquiring minds want to know.

For those of you who aren't familar with this setup, it allows the height of the trailer coupler to be adjusted using two bolts. In the picture a 2 5/16 ball coupler is shown attached. Also shown is a lunette and a clevis that can be used for coupling. The setup provides the capability of...

While quite a few hitch adapters have been posted, I haven't seen one like this. I wanted to be able to pull a flatbed trailer with a lunette using my tractor and not be concerned about the tongue weight bending something. The uprights that are drilled for the toplink pin are heavy 3" angle. The...

This afternoon I started the Kubota (L3710 hydro with 300+ hours) to do some work. I raised the loader with no problem but the tractor would barely move in forward or reverse. I noticed hydraulic fluid was pouring out around the filter. The fluid was opaque which I'm guessing is due to the cold...

The ones I need are brass and have threads at the bottom to screw into the rim. The shank is an octagon. Top is threaded for a regular cap. As far as I can tell these are an Ag only application. Regular auto and truck parts stores have never seen them. Unfortunately no one sells ag tires in...

I finally got some pictures I can post after I mess with them. What a PITA. I wanted an easy way to carry brush and hay bales. The attachment shown is hooked up by running the forks into "U" brackets on the bottom. Two pieces of 2" sq tube provide side to side support below the round tubing...

Maybe you don't need an optional front pto to go with the mid and rear ptos but the McCormick GX & GXH models have them. The 38, 44 & 50hp tractors are "highly maneuverable, versatile LITTLE tractors that are ideal for commercial users as well as private acreage owners with large grounds to...

I'm planning to work on a cistern this summer. A couple of years ago my neighbor leveled out a place on the hillside. After that I dug out a pit 50' long 15' wide and 13' deep. The location is not easy to access. Getting the excavated material off the hill was the worst part of the job. This...

Has anyone worked with the two part spray-on insulation that comes in returnable cylinders? I understand the system requires nitrogen for pressurization. The cylinders come in sizes ranging from a few 100lbs. to 1,000lbs.

Has anyone seen DIY plans for building windmill towers?

A local guy sells used tractors part time. The other day there was an L4150 4wd sitting out front with an FEL. Looked like a shuttle shift. Anybody know anything about that model other than hp? How reliable were the hydros back then? In general the tractor looked heavier than the current L's...

I've been thinking about adding an oil pressure and hydraulic fluid temperature gauge to my Kubota. Since the tractor gets stored under the sky so to speak, I've been looking for gauges that were waterproof and hopefully shock resistant. I just got a catalog showing Gaffrig gauges which are...

I'm looking for ideas on how to renovate a 150' long suspension bridge. One of the lower wire ropes gave way as I was crossing. I used a piece of regular wire rope to reattach it to the anchor. To replace the lower rope, I'll also have to replace the hangers that suspend the two lower ropes from...

I'm looking at an auger to move lime. The utility auger I found requires a 3/4 hp electric motor. It can also be purchased with a hydraulic head that will take a 4 bolt hydraulic motor. I know many tractors are not designed to run heavy hp loads via the remotes because of heat buildup, etc...
