Hello All, Just wanting to confirm that a Hydraulic shop will have to redo this fitting for me. I took the plug out and didn't see anything that would make me think this fitting is threaded and can be replaced by myself. Thanks - Stripped fitting

Thanks to all who might look and respond to my question, I have a Smith and Wesson, Model C Rifle in .30-06 w/HVA 1900 action -- I bought it years ago for a Western hunt that never came to be. Fast forward to today, I now have a hunting use I want to press this rifle into service for and would...

Hi all, Need some help with diagnosing and correcting an issue related to loss of power with the Yanmar diesel that powers this F935. Mower belongs to a nonprofit organization. The tractor gets used hard with very little TLC. I get the call for help once it totally quits working. So, I once...

I own a mid '80's B6200e. My problem is that ever since the original power and deck belts have had to been replaced. I have never, EVER come close to the longevity of those original belts. (15+ years for all 3) Kubota belts are rather pricey in my neighborhood, but I am wondering if maybe I'd...

I am working on an F935 mower for a local nonprofit organization. The mower gets mostly abused, heavily. The left side bearing that carries the outer end of the axle shaft was completely destroyed. I got it all apart, have the new parts, and was able to have a machine shop redo the gouging that...

Nut threads were totally stripped out. I am wondering if a certain grade is to be used so that the nut 'fails' and not the threads on the cylinder rod end. All help is appreciated. Thanks

A little back story: Was using my Kubota L35 to clean up some storm damage to several of my trees. During my use, there was a loud pop/bang from the FEL. The bucket then went to full dump and won't move. I see my right cylinder start to move, then it quits. I haven't opened anything up to know...

I know how to properly pack the bearings themselves. My question is about adding extra grease inside the hub? Do I need to or have I been wasting extra grease all these years? I know that "Bearing Buddies" would be having one fill that space completely, but their purpose is kind of different...

I need some of that TBN wisdom. I have a freebie T.B. Econo-Horse. It comes with the Tecumseh 6HP engine, H60-75506N SER: 7296D. I don't know why the previous owner quit using it. Also, the tiller has not been used in years. That being said, I have torn into it enough to know that the intake...

When posting a new thread, I use to be able to choose from a small group of icons that showed up on the Today's Posts main page(2nd column from the far left). One in particular was the blue circle with the question mark inside. It was a nice way of giving people a heads up about what the post...

I inherited this old A/c from my Grandfather. It ran when parked, but that has been close to likely 10 years ago. I have a neighbor who stopped and asked if I was interested in selling it. He is interested in it for a restoration project. Frankly, it was something I have been wanting to do, but...

Trying to determine if I need to spend the $100 or so on a new one of these. Back ground: tractor was rather low on fuel, thought I'd run it out. Added fuel to a bit over 3/4 mark on fuel gauge, opened fuel by-pass petcock assembly, cranked motor over, acted like it wanted to go but wouldn't...

This question has to do with torque wrenches. I know that to do a truly proper repair on a mechanical device, let's say a tractor (:)); a person should perform the repair and use the proper torque on all the bolts and nuts set forth by the shop manual. So when the rubber meets the road, where...

I am dealing with part 7. I went online to Deere parts and it labels it as a tapered fit pulley. So it seems that I should be able to use a standard puller for removing it. Not going so well at the moment. Will heat help much? How 'rough' can I get with it in trying to remove it? After getting...

Hope this question is getting posted in the correct Forum Subsection. If not, please move to where it should be. My question is about using one of those online Do It Yourself websites. These are a few examples: ALLDATAdiy.com Leading Source of Factory Automotive Repair Information - DIY Auto...

Need the power of the collective brain force on this site. I am doing some badly needed maintenance on an F935 mower that is owned by a local non-for-profit organization. It gets used and abused. As part of the upkeep, it needed some new idler pulleys and a new belt. After getting the...

What precautions, if any, should be taken? Whether something on a modern vehicle or an implement still attached to the 3pt on one's tractor, what are the dos and don'ts of an on machine repair? My 1991 Kubota L35 I believe to be a non-ecu motor, but I am wondering about screwing up any of the...

I have an old 24' travel trailer with electric brakes on both axles. It is in sound condition. It doesn't get used for traveling any more, so my question is this: Would it make a good foundation for an equipment trailer or is the frame for a travel trailer completely useless for trying to make...

I'm looking at buying a used 6' King Kutter, and I have a few questions. 1) I'm not to impressed with the latest products labeled King Kutter and sold by my local Tractor Supply Company. However, I've rented and used older products made under that name that seemed to be very stout and well...

Was changing the oil on my wife's 2005 Ford Freestyle. I was wiping off drain plug and immediately noticed something was wrong. About half the threads on the 'head' end of the drain plug were filled with the threads from the oil pan. Pan is made from aluminum. The plug is made from steel. The...

I'm not an accomplished welder. Things hold but don't look very pretty. On that note, I was working on a small project I've been meaning to get at for quite a while, a 2" reese unit for my 3pt hitch on my tractors. I've seen a lot of neat units on here and thought I'd finally craft my own...

I know that they provide shop manual services to the pros, but has anyone subscribed and used the DIY side of their website? My only experience with online manual support was as follows: I used AllDataDIY for one of my cars last year. I think it was $30 for the year. They were strong with...

I'm not sure that I've termed my title correctly. I don't have some completely new thing that I want to bring to the market. Instead, I have an idea that would really improve something that is already on the market. I'm wondering where does one start? It wouldn't seem wise to me to just start...

Trying to fix a no start/run problem with a 1994 Oldsmobile 98 Regency. The car is naturally aspirated 3.8L engine. My problem is this: 'Borrowed' a $400 code reader from an automotive store's "Loan It" program. The scanner is touted as OBD1&2 w/CAN and ABS. Problem is that car is OBD1...

I'm looking for a 1 ton pickup with dump bed for towing my Kubota L35 with and other uses. I have a few questions: 1.) In general, what is the Combined Gross Vehicle Weight on a truck this size? 2.) Does 380K miles mean there is much left, engine life-wise, with this truck? Does the mileage...

Picture comes from Northern Indiana. Picture was taken during winter so no leaves to help out in identifying. What is it? Are berries good for anything? Is plant worth keeping? Thanks

I have several question about rod sizing and a bonus one on technique: 1) I know that you can get 1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32" sized rods. Also, it seems that the 1/8" size is almost the de facto size sold. However, what are the guidelines one is taking into account for which one to use so as to...

Not sure what area to post this under, so I'm going with this one. It is an 'operating' question, just not about a tractor per se. I have a TSC/Speeco self contained log splitter. It doesn't have a heated home. Until now, when I've used it, the temps have been rather mild, 45+ degrees. Now...

I'm looking to buy some 7018 rods, but I'm having a problem determining which I need. The two following excerpts in red are from the Hobart website: The highlights in green are what have me confused: 7018 Welding Electrodes A low-hydrogen electrode for use in all...

I've been reading a lot of threads on this board lately that deal with gas and seemingly how 'pathetic' our modern fuels are. They seem to be able to kill one's chainsaw or weed-eater by just being in the same vicinity. So I appeal to the great mind trust on TBN for some education about the...

I have an L-35 Kubota and am wondering if there is an aftermarket seat or mounting base that has more give/travel for a softer ride. Or, maybe someone has come up with their own home remedy for this problem. The present seat base has springs, but they don't seem to be for giving a softer ride...

I've seen several R.C.'s with this distinct style of build. The owner's haven't been able to tell me what company has made them. I'm sure that someone from TBN can supply me with a Maker as well as to some input into their quality of build. Thanks to all

If you could explain what the process was like: permits, finding best location, choosing unit, cost, needing wiring additions for connecting to house/energy grid, any grants or tax credits to know about. I live in a relatively winding area of the country, especially when winter rolls around. I...

I'm sure that this questions has been asked before, so please just point me in the right direction for the previous post(s). My question is can someone please explain what Kubota's model numbering systems 'works' out to? They are usually 4 numbers. I've thought that the first two were related...

I've read a lot of posts about people having problems with their tractors and asking for advice on solving their problem. I think it is awesome that this site exists to help people in their time of need. However, these posts have gotten me to thinking: If money were NOT a deciding factor...

I was wondering what some of you master fabricators would deem as the bare minimum in the tools department to have in a "home" shop considered usable/capable of fabricating low to mid-level challenge projects? I know that what some consider a must have others might call a luxury. That being...

I have a 1991 Kubota L-35 with the Parker series 60 hydraulic couplers. I've developed a pretty good drip at one of my connections to my BT900 backhoe. First question is what size o-ring do I need to replace inside female portion? Second question, should I just replace whole coupler because...

I'd like to buy a used trenching bucket for my Kubota L35's backhoe. Of course, I can go and purchase a new one from my dealer(not a financial possibility at the moment), or try and find a used Kubota somewhere local(now we're getting into my price range, but probably limited supply)...

My question arose from a response to this thread: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/parts-repairs/172480-analog-multi-meter-question.html I won't retype my soap-box response about the day and age in which we live, but please feel free to click on the link and read it under replay #3. I'd be...

I have a nice old Micronta (Radio Shack) made analog multimeter. I needed to press it back into service for its 10amp, DC capability a few days ago. I was trying to track down some parasitic battery drainage on a vehicle. It worked fine two days ago. Today I tried to use it and when I turned it...

I have a 1991 L35 Kubota that is the Pin On style for attaching the front bucket. I'd like to convert mine to a QA style for the great versatility it gives. My question concerns the locking pin spacing. Since Bobcat's is the industry norm, how does it work when one is converting a non-QA to QA...

I've found many useful hints, tips, and wonderful advice on this site. I own two Kubota tractors: B6200E and an L35 It's neat to find such a special site on the Web. Thanks to all, even though you never knew you were helping someone. B.W.D.
