Looks like I have a wiring harness issue on my Cub. After 10 yrs, corrosion has set in on a short harness who's principle purpose appears to be to add a socket for what looks like a relay of some kind. I'm not sure whether the harness is a Kohler part or a Cub part. There is a tag on the...

Just received my new set of tines and have started to replace them. Unfortunately, as received they don't fit. The profile on the attachment end is much different than the factory tines. Have about a third of the tines installed and had to grind on each and every one of them to make fit...

Was doing some looking on the Cub web site and I no longer see the 3000 series machines listed under L&G. Next did a web search for these machines and that took me back to the cub site. Found some info but spotted a note saying limited supply. Has Cub dropped the 3000 series machines? Does...

Hard find the appropriate forum so here is where decided to post a forum problem. As of this AM while scanning down the todays posts, when I view a thread and then click the right mouse button and select back, the screen does move back to previous page but I also have a small window pop up...

Couple days ago my welding equipment walked off. I'm no where near being an expert in this area. Lincoln nearest model to what I had is their 140C model. I might like to upgrade to a small 220V model. Any preferences brand wise between Lincoln, Miller or Hobart? Would also entertain...

After many yrs of ownership, my first problem showed up this past week. Fuel tank is ~half full & when the tractor is first started, gage reads correctly. Doesn't take long, a few mins, and gage drops at least a quarter tank. Remains there for as long as the tractor is in use. Next time...

As of late I've been thinking of the possibility of increasing the wheelbase on my tractor. The WB on the F series to a little too short for my liking. The frame extends fwd enough to permit a movement of about 1 ft without the need for any extension. From a quick look moving the front axle...

Last month I posted that I had added the components to my Yanmar tiller so I had auto depth and tilt control. Liking the auto controls so much I picked up another sensor and mounted it on my quick mount hitch. Now the QMH has auto tilt and anything mounted on the QMH can be adj with the flip...

I've finished up mounting the auto controls for my tiller. Couldn't have done this without the help from Ernie. Ernie has all kind of parts for various Yanmar tillers. Only high-zut feature I know of I don't have is, I don't have one of the models with the shuttle control. Off-setting the...

Being a old M.E. with **** tendencies I had to find out what my tractor weighed. There were several BIG surprises after the weigh-in and some caclulations made. Weigh-in conditions = Me sitting in the seat, quick mount hitch installed but no implement and empty FEL. Ernie told me when I...

I'm still trying to figure out how the draft control on this tractor works. Got part of it figured out but still have a couple questions. Do you know what this control is? (see pic) It's almost hidden by the seat and as can be seen it's next to the draft and lift levers. When moved forward...

Spotted several new T80's and the JD dealer in town. Anyone know anything about them? Could this be the model Yanmar was talking about bringing in the country for vinyard work in calif. Lots of vinyards in the area so that is what I'm thinking but don't really know.

Anyone know exactly how the sense control for the draft control connects to impliments? Know many, most Yanmars don't have draft control but some do and it is clear that these tractors don't control draft like U.S. tractors that do it via the top link. Here is a pic of the sense control on my...

Didn't see anything via search so I'll ask. ANyone with and experience with an engine swap on a JD 31X tractor, either Honda or Kohler engines? Know several places have conversion kits for these engines but was wondering if anyone had experience with the swap? Ease of install and or problems...

After seeing my bucket forks, tractor Ernie said I should post this project to the forum, so here it is. I had the need for a pair of forks for picking up brush piles and limbs. I got the idea from an uncle that made a set for his larger tractor. The forks slip over the leading edge of the...
