What is this lever?

[Hammer Head]

Just received my new L3800HST yesterday. my Son noticed a lever down near (behind) the brake release lever.
I could not find anything in the owners manual, is it a compression release?

If the lever matches the brake SET lever and is to the left of the brake SET lever, it is probably the Cruise Control engagement.

This is a dealer installed kit on Kubotas, or at least it is a kit installation my B3300SU.

A photo of the lever would be a big help.

Hm... there is no brake release lever on a L3800hst. There is a brake set lever. but there is no lever behind it. The brakes are released by pressing the brake pedals to allow the set lever ratchet to release. on a DT version there is a PTO lever near where you are indicating, but yours is an HST and the PTO engagement lever is is up high on the right.. The differential lock lever on an HST model is on the left on the other side of the transmission tunnel... That is all I can think of on the floor on your model other than the brake pedals, and the HST treadle pedal..I give up..There is no compression release.. We need a picture of what you are calling a lever.???

Ejection Seat?

Ejection Seat?

Yeah, I am wracking the old gourd here, and I cannot think of a thing where he is indicating. Maybe someone installed that ejection seat

OMG.. :shocked: It's called the "Speed set device"

Dont know the new ones but sounds like the fuel cutoff knob placement on our Kub Ls

Nah, all the newer Kubota's have a fuel shut off solenoid on the injector pump.

Nope, that a big mechanical lever on the left side of the operators hip, right by the range selector.

 

[k0ua]

Its a mystery, inside of an enigma, wrapped in a riddle.:confused3:

 

[Bluegill2]

The only leaver I have down by my right foot close to the brakes it the PTO leaver?

 

[SPYDERLK]

Nah, all the newer Kubota's have a fuel shut off solenoid on the injector pump.

So do our Ls ... Perhaps the knob was a short tern holdover from prior models on which it was not redundant. Our B9200 requires its use.

Maybe the manual oiler?

 

[Hammer Head]

My son has the tractor right now. He took it as soon as it arrived. I will stop and get a photo of it or a closer look.
Didn't mean to react so quickly with the question, we were just curious. It may just be the ejection seat leaver for the unwanted users!!

 

[Hammer Head]

After closer observation I discovered that the lever is the throttle linkage. The hole that I thought should have some type of knob must be for the foot throttle to connect to for the MT model.
Sorry for the quick reaction to question it and thanks for the response from all.

Maybe the manual oiler?

Why would you need to oil your manual? :laughing:
