    Anyone make a spline alignment tool?

    On my Kubota L3130 if I turn off the engine the PTO shaft can be manually rotated to line up the splines.

    Kubota Grease Points

    First, thank you to all who took the time to read and respond. I did find that the cowl is much easier to remove and reinstall if you take off the plastic end to the throttle handle. Just that inch or two helps a lot. All is reassembled now. Thanks again for the feedback. Bruce

    Kubota Grease Points

    Turns out that there are no Zerk fittings on the pedal shaft. I was able to apply a thorough coating of gear oil.

    Kubota Grease Points

    Interesting. The shaft for the clutch is above the clutch pedal and beneath the dashboard trim panel. 1) neither the Work Shop manual (WSM) nor the instruction manual for the L3130 indicates that there are any Zerk fittings on this shaft. 2) Have removed the trim cowl and still am unable to...

    Kubota Grease Points

    I have attemppted to follow a couple of videos that show how to apply grease to the pedal shaft of a Kubota L3130-DT-F but could not locate them on my 2003 Kubota. Were they removed from this model or am I missing something obvious?

    L3130 OPC Timer Relay

    The OPC timer relay was indeed the problem. I replaced it this A.M. and all seems fine for now. I only wish that I had some way to bench test individual components and this whole process would have consumed less time and fewer $$.

    L3130 OPC Timer Relay

    I believe the OPC is the source of my random engine shutdown. There are four leads red, black, yellow and red/white. Can anyone shed light on which are the input wires and which are the output?

    B3200 engine shuts down

    I have the same problem with a 2003 L3130-DT (manual transmission). It has run very well since purchased new. It stopped suddenly last week but would restart. Now it will restart but runs only at intervals between a few seconds and a couple of minutes. When it shuts down I hear a good deal of...

    Kubota Clutch Plate Spline stripped

    Moving up a slight grade with my L3130DT the machine suddenly stopped with inability to get any gear to engage. Kubota dealership in Port Huron MI found that the clutch plate female spline was almost smooth and I agreed when viewing the removed part. The tractor has just under 2000 hours and 17...

    Tragedy Strikes in Michigan

    Last week a 3 year old boy was killed in Tuscola, County Michigan. The youngster was leaning against the front glass of a combine when the glass shattered and the boy fell forward into the mechanism. This was a case of an accident that could not have been predicted. Our hearts and prayers go...

    Front-End Loader  FEL vehicle pusher

    With the ton of expderience and creativity on this site many have probably already found a way to use lumber to fashion an attachment to the FEL to enable it to push vehicles without damage to bumpers etc. May we see some of the setups?

    Box Scraper  Box blade for laying Low Voltage cable

    I am thinking of using only the middle tine of a box blade to make a shallow furrow for laying a couple of short lengths of low voltage yard lighting cable. Before I go ahead, has anyone done this before and does it work or am I just going to mess up the yard? Advice please.

    Squeak from engine L-3130

    When the engine comes up to temp there is a definite chirp or squeak that sounds something like a water pump bearing. (Birds or mice sounds come to mind) It only appears when the tractor is under a little load as going up hill but not down shallow grade. The tractor has 650 hours on it and the...

    Clutch problem? Need help

    Whatever gear, when I depress the clutch I hear a brief moderate level clank sound. Is this a terminally bad sine for a four old Kubota L3130 or is it just a sign of 650 Hours? Is it possibly just the brakes?

    Simple solutions

    The delivery trucks have all but shut the ends of my driveway culvert. I needed something to open the ends up so I could reinforce and extend with either cast iron or ceramic soil pipe. Found just the right tool - a 3 foot long 3/4" hanger rod from an old factory. With one end threaded and...
