I'm having starter issues with my R3039H. Has anyone ever removed the starter, and if so are there any tips? My battery is strong, I've cleaned connections with no luck. It sounds like a machine gun, like the drive can't engage. I'm in a pickle, as the loader and box blade are on the ground...

My R3039H is having what I think is a starter issue. When I turn the ignition switch, sometimes nothing happens, then if I keep turning it back and forth, it sounds like the drive is not engaging. The engine does not turn at all. The battery is fully charged. It's not just a click, it's more of...

Ive got a R3039H and my adjustable pedal link broke. Had to order the new link, and the guy at the dealer says it can be a bugger to change. Anyone had any experience with this?

Discovered I had a leak in my R3039H fuel tank today. Found a large puddle of fuel on the barn floor. After a closer inspection, it appears to be a tiny crack at about midway on the front side of the tank. There is an indent which has a retainer bar across the front of the tank, located behind...

I've got a R3039H, and have been considering getting a bush hog and was wondering what other 3039 owners were using, 5' or 6'? Mine is a hydrostat, so I have 29 hp @ pto. My machine measures 66" width, if that is a big factor.

I'm wanting to build a brush puller, and I'm working on the design at this point. Can someone tell me what type pin and bushing I need. I want to use a greasable pin / bushing similar to the one shown on my grapple, for my pivot arm, only larger. Just don't know what it is called, so that I can...

My 3point lever is stiffer than what I'd like. It's like it has a bit too much resistance. I like to feather my control as I'm working, and have to rest the side of my hand against the fender, in order to ease the lever a little bit. Anyone else have this problem? I tried to spray some white...

A buddy of mine just got a new 5055E cab this week, and is wanting to add some work lights to the front of the cab. Does anyone know if the wiring harness is in place? There are threaded inserts under the lip of the roof, at the corners, which we assume are for lights. He's wanting to go with...

Here is a picture of my Dad in France, 1944.

Either mice or squirrels got to my B6100E, and chewed the wiring. I noticed bits of colored insulation on the footboard when I went to get on it today. Turned the key, and nothing! Anyone have a wiring diagram?

Wasn't sure just which forum to post this question in, but figured someone here may have some suggestions. I need to run new electrical service out to my workshop, and am not sure what size/ type to go with. My shop is located about 175 foot from the house. I currently have overhead wires, but I...

I'm considering picking up a landscape rake for my R3039H, and will likely go with one from Evertthing Attachments. I originally thought about the extreme duty model, but was wondering if I should step up to the newer "version 3". It's about 100 lbs heavier, and about $200 more. Any thoughts or...

Here's what I think is the relief valve, however, I'm not certain, nor do I know how to adjust it.

I got my hydraulic pressure gauge from Surplus Supply, now just need to try it out. I'm guessing I'll just plug it into one of my rear remotes, and open the control lever, and I should see the system pressure?? Factory pressure is supposed to be 2242 psi. If it isn't, I'll have to try and figure...

I didn't even know this was possible until someone posted about their loader not being able to curl / dump while in the float position. I thought about this yesterday while I was grading my drive, and gave it a try. It works! I've had the tractor almost two years, and never knew! Any other...
