    Source for fork mounted grapple.

    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...

    Relocate the battery.

    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?

    Remote throttle/injection pump control?

    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...

    Value of Farmi JL601 logging winch?

    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?

    L3710 HST whine.

    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...

    Hydrostat ID

    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?

    B6200 mid-mower questions.

    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...

    Filling Batteries.

    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...

    Air regulator question.

    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...

    Rental cost for Kubota L3710?

    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...

    Need sections and rivets-Enorossi mower

    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?

    Need SS pipe for project.

    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...

    Messick, Sweet, CCI & other dealers.

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

    Adaptable trailer tongue.

    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...

    Heavy hitch adapter.

    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...
