Inquire and ye shall learn: Ok so I googled it and AI says this: AI Overview The openings near the spindles on a Cub Cadet ZTR 50 mower deck are designed to allow air to flow through, which helps create a vacuum for better grass lift and a more even cut, according to a forum discussion on Only...

I have the cc ztr50, uses the 50" cut deck and it has those same holes through the deck by the spindles. I have also wondered about the purpose of the holes. Mine loaded up with grass so badly that I had to remove the guards to clean it all out. After several times doing this I got tired of...

Hi guys and gals. I've been reading/ following this forum for years and now it is finally my turn to ask for some help. My tractor is an 06 Kubota L3130 GST. About 2 months or so ago I was bush hogging when a good size stick stood back up under the tractor while moving forward and took out the...

Anyone see on the news last week where 10 Teslas had to be towed away because it was too cold for the batteries to be able to take a charge? Think what would happen if all ICE's were done away with and replaced with EV's. Snow removal, emergency vehicles, tractors, everything. Can you imagine...

On this website, if you click on Reserve now, the prices pop up.

I was just going to make that same remark about getting the parts back that YOU paid for when you bought the tractor. k5lwq beat me to it.

That's what I was thinking, suppose you need it during an extended power outage. I use an old motorcycle battery that won't hold enough charge to start the bike, but will run a tank top pump. I can pump about 200 gallons before the battery needs another charge. For those "end of the world" days...

I had the same sort of thing happen to mine one time. Worked great yesterday but not today king of thing. After checking everything wiring-wise on the trailer, especially the grounds, I traced the wiring back into the plugs and found one of the wires had come loose inside of the plug. Repaired...

Something I learned about dry chemical extinguishers, (while walking with the inspectors for annual inspection,) is that the powder inside of them settles and can become a brick. When he found one like that, he would turn it upside down and give it several sharp raps with a rubber mallet. Most...

If I remember right, (as it was some time ago now,) I bought a new half shaft at TSC for the split half and trimmed it to proper length. Then, as in any time I trim them, file the inside of the outer shaft to remove the burr that cutting leaves in there. Experience teaches you that the two...

WOW does that look familiar. The same thing happened to mine and my stump grinder is that exact same green color.

Not 100% true. We still have one local shop here that will still do the widowmakers. It's the only one around that will do those. The other type of split rims that I have about half of the shops will do. They frown when they see them coming but will do them. It surprises me to see split rims...

They either didn't want to or didn't know how to do it. When I was in plumbing trade school we used to make everything even down to close nipples, (Where the threads come from both ends of the pipe to the center,)and we did it both on Rigid pipe threading machines as well as using drop head dye...

Unfortunately, mine was taken out rather early in the storm. The wind vane and the anemometer were hit by flying debris. All of the other functions of the weather station continued to perform flawlessly and reported to the base station. Of course, my main interest was in max wind speeds for the...

I have the same thing. It took a Category 5 hurricane to break mine.

same here.

caver, I shared somewhat the same problem as you on a Simpson pressure washer, except the pump went out on mine. Luckily I got it to the repair shop on the last day of the warranty. The shop operator/ local service center for 3/4 of stuff made for this area looked up the warranty and said 'it's...

As was mentioned a few times, I would remove the cover over the joystick and move it in all directions checking for it to be hitting something instead of getting free and full travel. Also, try installing the loader with this cover off so you can see the joystick operation during the 'install'...

I purchased and installed 'the Thumb' on my bucket and also purchased third function kit to operate it in unison with the bucket. I can lift/ curl and or dump at the same time as well as open or close the thumb, whatever suits my needs. I later wanted a rear hydraulic top link so I got a...

Have had this very thing happen in the past with auto tune-ups. Replaced points, plugs, and condenser just because it was time/ mileage. Engine ran on the old parts but wouldn't start after the tune-up. Put the old condenser back in and it cranked right up with the other new parts still in it...

I was told that by a state trooper and the tire store where I bought my replacement tires for my car hauler. I have been searching online for documentation stating this, but with no luck. When I bought my car hauler it had car tires on it but was homemade so I didn't think anything about it...

Same here in Fl where I live.

That's right. When the output shaft from the tractor is straight in line with the input shaft on the implement, the drive shaft would be at its most compressed/ overlapped position. Question~ when your attachment is all the way down, are the shafts in line with one another? Say the wood chipper...

^ What he said

I bought one of those with a slight variation. Mine is a 3-in-1 machine, tig, stick, and plasma cutter. I love it. The machine works great and is very lightweight for portability when needed, (and that's more often than you might think.) I've had it a couple of years now and have no complaints.

My personal choice for this application is a hedge trimmer attachment for a straight shaft trimmer. Mine is a Troy Bilt attachment purchased at Lowes years ago and used a lot with no issues. I like it for timing under fences, along the sides of a fence for brush, etc that grows through the...

You must type faster than me because that's the same thing I was just going to say.

+1, same reasoning, plus bucket is pinned, whole loader removal is easier.

I had that exact same thing happen on mine right after Hurricane Michael came through here in 2018. It would run great for a bit, then power way down and sometimes even quit, then it would make that same 'come back'. Pulled the bowl and smelled the fuel. Sure enough some gas in there. Drained...

I follow that same policy with the exception of one friend/ former co-worker. I would and have often offered him to borrow things because he takes care of borrowed stuff better than his own, and if he were to damage something, he would either repair it (or more likely) buy you a brand new one...

If you think it's bad now, I heard this morning on the ' ABC World News Now ' that it is expected to be another dollar a gallon higher come this summer.

My work truck now for pulling the tractor is a 1976 Chevy C60, 350 engine, 4 speed tranny, 2 speed rear end. Need to move a large building, get a long chain and wrap it around the building, hook to the truck and pull it away.

"I do miss a good 4 or 5 speed manual truck at times." This reminds me of a car I used to have. It was a '78 Ford Fiesta. They only came with 4 speed manual transmissions. Funny thing was that if I left it parked in front of the garage and it needed moving when I was asleep or not home, it took...

Where and how do you store the trailer so that the tires stay in such good shape for so long?

LOAD STAR

It's funny you should mention that. I was just looking at mine this week and noticed the same thing you mentioned. My trailer sits in the sun so I expect sunlight dry rot to an extent. The tires on the sunny side of the trailer are in better condition than the ones away from the sun. The odd...

I love my Kubota L3130, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sleep with it.

Amen to this. I have some customers where I mow acreage with a bush hog or finish mower and it's so much easier to mow with the loader off. The unused implement sits in the sun the whole time and heats up. Now just out of habit, I release the pressure on the hoses before even trying to re-connect.

I do something very similar. I purchased 2- 12v dc pumps from Northern Tool. One for diesel, one for gas as they are not interchangeable. I use 2- 55 gallon drums and take them to the gas station to fill. The tractor is used to load/ unload from the flatbed truck. Each pump is capable of 8...

This is just a shot in the dark but if you do replace the temp sensor and the gauge still does the same thing, check for a missing ground. I have had the same thing happen with gauges before where as soon as power is applied, the gauge spikes, and a missing ground was the problem. It caused the...

That's what I did. My job situation was changing and could make as much/ more to stay home so I did. Just a couple years early.

I agree with rScotty. I think you have two separate issues going on and are unrelated to one another. One question in my mind is you said you have used the top of the loader for a seat when it was on the ground. When you sat on it, was the cutting edge of the bucket flat on the ground or raised...

Do what I did, put a lid on the front end loader.

Do you have a picture of that pelican knock off case? I could sure make good use of one of those.

Something you might want to try: Amazon has a variety of Electric Dipstick heaters that slide in where your oil dipstick goes. Just plug it in and it transfers heat straight to the oil itself. Will help to thin that really thick oil somewhat. That and a good block heater right in the block...

Ok, I'm thinking I missed something somewhere, but did you determine that the disconnected / deadheaded line was the cause of high pressure in the pump with no relief that caused the pump to come apart? Also, how many hours did you say it operated with this line disconnected before the pump blew?

Leave it to Amazon to already have one for sale.

I bought one of these several years ago and have used the daylights out of it with no bucket damage or warpage. This past summer I also added "The Thumb' grapple to the top of the bucket. This combination of the debris fork and 'The Thumb' makes brush/ debris clean-up phenomenal. Just open the...

OK, this raises a question in my mind. Do tractor tires have a manufacture date stamped into them like car tires do so you can tell how old they are before you buy them?

Sounds to me like he plans to hold on to that money and not blow it foolishly. Good for him. So many nowadays making good money waste it as fast as they get it.

I totally agree with this. I find I can use regular, (containing ethanol) gasoline in all my small engines so long as I start them on a regular and frequent basis. Bi-weekly to monthly at the longest stretch between runs. Especially for engines in storage. 5- 10 minutes run time just to move the...

I did/ do the same thing. Leveled the bucket perfectly and then cut the excess rod off flush with the top of the tube. There is still too much rod to fall out of the bottom of the tube even in full dump.

From the look on the dog's face, I think he's (she) asking what you like ripped out next.

Could you possibly run 2 layers of the slabs, maybe the first layer running in the same direction of travel as the driveway, and the second layer perpendicular or across the driveway, thus allowing one layer to help hold the next in place? Just a thought.

1000 years ago when I took metal shop in school, they told us to always open the valves all the way because running gas through a partially opened valve can/ will destroy it. Don't know for sure if it's right or wrong, but I always open the valves all the way because of being taught that rule.

Interesting thing about Lincoln Electric. I just bought one of those sets to replace a 40+ year old Harris set that I originally purchased at Montgomery Ward. My cutting torch had somehow been eaten through on the lines that carry the gas to the cutting tip. Since I couldn't buy just another...

I've done 3 different things with mine since owning it. Like some on here, mine is a 3 point BH, and originally I used to store it in a closed box truck when not in use. I built a 4' square platform with casters on it and set the BH on the platform, then set it in the truck with the FEL. That...

Levity helps make the world go round.

the manual for my L3130, (2006) says you can use the Kubota UDT or SUPER UDT fluid OR 80- SAE 90 gear oil. Possibly given the age of my tractor, front axle case lubricants may differ.

I find that not too surprising actually. Here in the Florida Panhandle, squirrels eat the aluminum tie wires off chain link fence like it's going out of style. It seems like it's a delicacy for them. Even better than going to the Colonels for dinner.

I had a similar situation a few months ago, but on my loader. My tractor is a 2006 L3130. One of the hoses that go to the dump/ curl cylinders blew inside the nylon sleeve the hosses pass through going down the loader arm toward the bucket. Out on a job and no load in the bucket, just traveling...

yes, at least half the pictures in just this thread alone show a picture with the fel bucket all the way up. I was noticing that even before you brought it up.

My tractor is a 2006 Kubota L3130, with an LA513 loader and came with a box blade. I've also purchased a bush hog, finish mower, landscape rake, pine straw rake, and a Woodland Mills stump grinder. One of the things I noticed while looking to purchase my tractor was how accessible everything on...

Many good points made here. I live in Florida and buy gas (E10) for my small engines in 50-gallon quantities. (I hate going to the gas station.) I have treated it forever with Red Stabil and have had extremely few issues in any of my small engines. My chain saws, weed trimmers, blowers...
