Great tip - thank you!

How would you mount the ram? Interesting idea!

I have an old L3450 that sat for years. I got the engine going but the 3 point is dead. It was having major issues before the tractor was parked, so it’s going to be a bad piston / sleeve. The tractor has a ROPS and I was thinking about mounting an ATV winch to it to lift the blade or mower. I...

Hi jaxs, I appreciate the reply. I haven't gotten back out there to do this yet, I am on the same page as far as pulling the injectors after reading some more on the subject. I certainly don't want to destroy the engine by being too aggressive. The thing that's got me puzzled is that although...

Good thoughts, and something I had considered. I think the engine would have turned a 'little' bit when I first tried to turn it, but even so, I checked the coolant level and it's full. I will be pulling the injectors if a gentle tug doesn't get me anywhere.

I appreciate the reply. I used the seafoam because I wanted to get something around the valves incase water had gotten down in there. I'm not sure what that could hurt, so I'll leave that part alone in this reply. I replaced the starter because it wasn't able to turn the engine over and appeared...

Silly question, but it's happened to me - Any possibility there could be mesquite thorns or similar in the tires?

Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in a while. Had some (10) surgeries that left me living in a nursing home and having to learn to walk again, but I'm back now and doing fine. While I was down, my Kubota L3450 sat out in the weather for 3 years, and apparently got water down the exhaust...

I just wanted to let you guys know my first dealing with Kubota was an extremely good one. My tractor is an old 1993 model L3450. I bought it recently and it had a ROPS but no seatbelt installed. I called Kubota to ask about a seatbelt assembly on that model as I couldn't even see where it...

By the way, she has been 'around the field' a few times!

Here's mine after 10 years. She's had a little makeup over time though.

I am getting tired of constant flats on my tractor due to thorns. The wheels are tube type so I am looking for opinions from people who have actually used tube specific sealant please. I see lots of claims from manufacturers claiming results in tubed tires but what have you tried? Thanks!

Tore the valve stem taking the tube out. Done for now until I get to Tractor Supply for a new one later.

That should do it.

It's going down about .5 Lbs every 15 minutes. Time for a tube patch.
