The steering assembly is something I've worried about the whole time I have had my L3301. I keep a woody 4 ac on my property clean and it's rough as a cob. Old stump holes are the worse and you don't see them until one of the front wheels fall into one. There is a lot of old stumps that still...

Thanks OP, I was just thinking about this yesterday. I have a newer Woods cutter like yours and it has always been a pain to grease the joint at the gear box. I have pushed, pried, and banged on those stupid buttons ever since I have had it and nothing has ever happened. I finally cut a small...

That may be all and good for the end that attaches to the PTO but there is a grease fitting back next to the cutting head that needs grease too.

I've come across deals like this before decided to try and restore them and in the end, you end up spending more in time and parts money than the thing is worth. If it was something like a Wheel Horse, Case, Gravely or other well-known brand you can usually do alright. That is if you like to...

What BlueMule said. Any tree you cut down is dangerous, but leaving something like that tree is dangerous too. Theres always the danger of someone walking by and have one of those limbs falling on top of them. I've had large limbs drop out of trees near me that were not even dead. That will get...

I don't know I have never had to coax any of my Stihl saws and I've had a bunch of them. Most would be still at it if they hadn't got burned up in my shop fire. I had an 051 that I traded for a 044 back in the 70's and you couldn't pile the firewood that 044 cut in a 5 ac field. It had pump gas...

They are picky about the start procedure. Never had any saw that would start on the first pull. My 261 and the 400 start on the third pull just like my old 044. When both these new saws were brand new, I almost threw them both in the dumpster because I pulled and pulled. I was trying to start...

Your thinking in that department is right on time. I get so dang fired up every 10 or 15 hours of having to quit what I'm doing for sometimes 30 minutes while waiting for this thing to clean out the exhaust. It makes me want to scream; well, it does make me scream every time it happens. This...

Dang, I was wondering the same thing about the hours people put on their tractors. Thanks for posting this. My Kubota 3301 will be 2 years old in May and it's getting ready to roll over the 300 hr mark. I never would have thought I could find so much stuff to work on when I first bought it. It...

I agree with the fabric part, but you still need to get down to some solid ground and in this case at least 3' of material would have had to be removed to get there. This would have required an excavator which I didn't have. All I had at the time was a Cat 955 K. It did have wide tracks but as...

Gravel driveways are always going to need work as time goes by. You can pack all you want and there will always be a couple spots that will hold water and cause problems. My driveway is roughly 3/4's of a mile that drops in elevation 10' from the house to the main road. When I built the road the...

I haven't actually price checked my dealer but if it was that price It would cost more after the half day trip there to pick it up. There is a dealer closer but before I went there, I'd walk through the Gates of hell and wallow in the ashes before I bought anything from Hoober again

Well Willie, I guess I deserved that.:oops:

I've looked all over Amazon for 5 gal pails, but they don't seem to have them listed.

I wonder what the freight would be on a 5 gal pail. I went to Messicks but you almost have to buy it before you find out what the shipping will be.
