This last June while hooking up the plow to the three point my L4630GSTC was idling and it just picked up about a 100 rpm's. After that the shifter no longer shifted, three point did not work, loaded did not work and the PTO acted like it worked but did not turn. It is still sitting there as I...

Just replaced a cab door on my L4630GSTC due to breakage(do not ask). Remove the hinges from the cab, install the hinges, support and opener in the glass after installing the new exterior weather stripping. Reinstall the door on the cab and it is done. Total time takes a little over an hour...

Started the Kubota today and heard a loud squealing sound. Traced it down to the one way clutch on the air conditioner compressor. To add a lot of insult to the injury, this small part sells for $375.00. I feel that the part should have lasted much more than 805 hours and two and one half...

I have a L4630GSTC that is a little over two years old and has over seven hundred hours on it. It is a great tractor, has plenty of power and with the 24-16 transmission, it can go slow enough for the transplanter. Last year, when we had a day of 114 degree weather, I stopped and checked the...

On December 19, stopped at Home Depot for a carpet for some offices that I am redoing. Seemed like great service. After that went to Menard's to pick up a couple of items. Phone rings, it is Home Depot wanting me to sign some forms, told them I would be in the next day. Stop by the next day...

Purchased my 1630 in 1998. Steering shock went bad in about 2002-2003? Lived with the floppy wheel for a while. Replaced it 2004. Was going to adjust the wheel yesterday, and it just stayed loose again and is flopping up and down. Why does New Holland keep putting out garbage that they know...

I have seen posts to show your outhouse, hats, etc. Now how about a picture of your chicken coop? This picture was taken in 1994, the last year it was used was in 1970. Do not know when it was built, best guess is between the 1920's to the 1930's. The attachment on the right is a goose shed.

Seeing all these posts about neighbors and what they do or try to do and with lot line disputes etc, I decided to share how I handled my situation. In 1996, purchased a house and thirty acres at auction. The acreage was completely fenced in and I was told by the seller that the fence was his...

Last year a three point arm came off and broke off a grease zerk with no way to grab the threads. How does one remove the threads to install a new zerk?

On the farm, we had a M with a wide front end, at the time I am sure that it was in good shape compared to what there are in now.

This spring I purchased a 100 gallon steel transfer tank and pump. It ran dry on Saturday, filled it up on Sunday and tried to hand pump some diesel into the tractor as it was on empty. After about fifty or so pumps, nothing comes out. Check the literature that came with the pump and it was...

On the way up to my home town today to place flowers on the graves for Memorial Day, some of my siblings and I stopped at this sod house. One on my great uncles and his wife lived in it up until about 25-30 years ago when they moved into town, it was in a lot better shape then it is now. The...

Just picked up some Super UDT for the 50 hour. The price was $51.51 for a 2 1/2 gallon jug. Is this in line what others are paying?

For the past four to five years I have averaged 2 flats per year on my NH1630, thought it was due to the turf tires losing to sticks, branches, etc. After fixing another flat on the NH last night, figured that would be it for the year, however when we going to hook up the bucket on the Kuobota...

We are back up north and starting to till the garden. Before we left had a 4630GSTC delivered and puttered around for a while before we left, noticed a tag on the hand throttle about the speedometer. Tonight I checked it and when the delivered the tractor they had not calibrated the...
