    Loss of power GL3940

    Just wanted to share an experience I had to help others who may have similar symptoms. I have mowed the same property with the same tractor and mower since 2009, GL3940HST and Woods RD7200. In 9 years and 300 hours of doing the same work, I know what to expect with this job. Already did a...

    Stihl 009, looking for master rebuilder

    I bought a used 009 at a garage sale in 1990, ran great and worked well for my 24 years of using it. In 2014, it would only run on choke, local dealer said case seal is bad, sucking air, too expensive to rebuild. He sold me a 017, which I am not fond of after 2 years of use. Anyone know a...

    L3940 fuel sender replacement

    My 2009 L3940 with 250 hours was beginning to have odd fuel level readings, reading fuel level that was less than actual tank level. Bar graph would go up and down between 1/4 and 1/2, or fuel light would come on at any given time. Even with tank completely full, I would never get a reading...

    W5019 PC push mower, new to me!

    Just picked up this immaculate W5019-PC push mower. Cannot believe the condition, slightly used with only a few scratches. Starts and runs great! Will be perfect trim mower to go with my GR2120. I really want to get a side discharge deflector and/or a mulching kit for this. Any leads would...

    GR2120 Racor fuel filter / water separator install

    There is not a water seperator on these small mowers, have heard of owners with BX's and GR's having freeze up issues, so I installed one on my GR. Once removing the rear panel, there is a huge amount of room for options. Racor makes an aluminum model, you could use a Kubota model, or other...

    GR2120 snowblower light install (plus BX, maybe others)

    Got to use my GR2120 snowblower allot last winter. Main complaint would be lack of lighting. I just added a led light to the blower itself. I got 2 lights, but found a very simple mounting method for 1 light utilizing the gearbox brace. Just took the oem bolt out, and added the light...

    L3940 Starting in -6F ambient

    Got down to -13F ambient (-41F windchills) last Monday here in central Indiana night. Had to move 11" of wet heavy snow and drifts on Tuesday morning, so I took a video of my L3940 starting at -6F. Very happy, fired right up with just one cycle of glow plugs, no other starting aid (heaters...

    Kubota in the Caribbean

    Saw this Kubota at Castaway Cay (Disney's private island) in the Bahamas a little over 2 years ago. Just got back from family vacation and it is still there, but maybe with a new paint job due to all the salt water mist. This time I actually saw it work, moving a scissor lift/ramp device to...

    GR2120 squealing hydraulic deck lift, my solution

    Many people have complained about a hydraulic squeal when lifting their deck, mine does it too. The squeal happens cold or hot, but mine is more pronounced when hot, and also more pronounced when at high idle. There really is not that much noise as the deck it being lifted, but when deck hits...

    Farm Star rotary mower, any good

    This mower is for sale about an hour from me. He does not have model number at this time, said he would get it for me later. Can any of you identify and get me model number? What throws me off is the round back, it is not on KingKutter's website. I want to get specs and search for...
