    Loader L4240HSTC with 854 loader not raising after being parked in float

    It looks like a weld let go. Got the new part from the dealer but how do I get the compression pin out or find a tool to do it? (The pin is hidden by the bracket and is maybe the width of a toothpick or smaller.)

    Loader L4240HSTC with 854 loader not raising after being parked in float

    Being that I left it in float, it feels like it is stuck there. The joystick flops forward and backward with no resistance. The bucket works normally. I will check my quick connects this morning. Does the joystick move spools to direct hydraulic pressure or does it move cables? Any ideas to free...

    Loader  L4240HSTC with 854 loader not raising after being parked in float

    I have a 2010 L4240 HSTC-3 with 854 loader. It only has 700 hrs. on it. I parked it with the loader in float and now it only rolls the bucket. It feels as if the up and down is unconnected as it moves with no resistance. Pulled the boot up and don't see any broken parts but also don't see it...

    Snow Attachments Which Implement

    I live in upstate NY and used an open station tractor with a snowblower last year. The light, fluffy lake effect we get will coat you completely and it ain't no fun! I now have this set up and use the snow bucket for anything under 1.5 feet. The benefit over a pusher besides being able to use it...

    L4240 glow plug relay

    Hey, I have a 2010 L4240HSTC-3 that won't start without the block heater when it's cold. I've heard Kubota used the wrong relays in some tractors. My glow plug light, lights and shuts off after a few seconds but no start. When I inspected the relay one spade was blued. The parts manual shows...

    Kubota L4240 operators manual

    I recently acquired an L4240HSTC. Unfortunately the operators manual was misplaced by the original owner. Does anyone have a link to a pdf of one? If not, Messick's has them for around $25.00. Fair price? Thanks!

    2010 Kubota L4240HSTC

    I'm looking at a 2010 Kubota L4240 HSTC with fel this weekend. It has 630 hours and is in pretty clean shape. Did these tractors have the problematic emissions control on them? He is asking $25,000. for it. Is that a fair price? We average 200" of snow where I live and a cab tractor sure would...

    Adding selective control valve to John Deere 750

    I recently acquired the power angle blade made for my John Deere 750. I need to add the selective control valve and was hoping to get some advice. I found the original 2 handle control valve new for $1180.00, plus shipping of course. I would really prefer a single joystick type control. The...

    Top link s shaped clip.

    I've seen tractors with an "S" shaped pin that clips around the top link and secures it to a metal spring behind the tractor seat to hold it out of the way when not in use. I have not been able to find them. Does anyone know where to find these?

    Ford 750 front axle sliding on pivot pin

    Hi, I recently aquired a 1984 John Deere 750 4x4 with 1200 hrs. Upon closer inspection what I thought was a worn tie rod end is actually play in the front axle pivot pin. When the steering wheel is turned the axle slides approximately 1/16"- 1/8" on the pivot pin. The tractor overall is very...
