My father picked up a M5700 this weekend. Overall its in nice shape, but we have a couple things we are trying to figure out. Most importantly, it has a 'knock' to it, that doesnt sound like a rod knock, but is something that does need attention, and we arent quite sure what it is. Seller had...

This is something my wife started with my boys, who are home schooled, to encourage awareness of keeping fire hydrants clear. We did a total of 9 today with the tractor (some we just cleaned up), and the boys shoveled 8 last week. A few were tough as they were on the other side of a shallow...

Anyone have any tips for keeping the stabilizers from turning into pretzels? The dealer tells me that you have to make sure they are as tight as possible. I did my best when I put the 2 bottom plow on last year, but in the end, it bent both stabilizers. They also tell me its not a warranty...

Does anyone have problems getting their quick attach handles to release from the bucket? I have actually bent mine trying to get them to pop free....

All ready to weld.... just dont have anything handy to weld with it just yet!

So I am debating tire chains for plowing snow this winter (I wouldnt worry if I didnt have a hill to climb). I have been against them due to concerns about them hitting the fenders... Does anyone have any experience with them on the R series tractors? (or similar) I was originally thinking...

I bought a new 'dash camera' to put in the car the other day, and I used the suction cup mount to put it on the hood of the R3039 today. Here is a little video of putting a hay bale in a new feeder I built today. Check it out....

Had a friend text me on friday about a stump bucket a coworker had for sale. I went and checked it out yestarday, and I think its too big for my R3039 to really work effectively... I can get it for $250... It appears to be about 42" from the mounting plate to the tip of the teeth. Any thoughts?

So based off recommendations over in the 'customization' forum... I bought a set of LED lights for my tractor. 10pcs 4" 18W 1260LM CREE LED Work Light Bar Off Road SUV Boat ATV Jeep Lamp 4WD | eBay Now I am just trying to decide what to mount where and how many. I hopefully have 6 flood (60ｰ...

I picked up a flail mower tonight for $200. It appears to be a 6' cut. I have NO clue what brand/model it is. There are NO tags/labels on it anywhere. I know it needs probably 2 new bearings for the main shaft (one is clearly bad), and will need some new knifes. Even in its current state...

My google-fu is failing me... Does anyone have a PDF copy of the manual for the Woods RM-59 mower? I think mine is a -1 Just bought it today, and want to learn a few things about it before mowing season hits.

So yesterday, before I managed to bury the tractor, I was dumping gravel just inside the gate for my cow/goats. The Fiona (the cow) decided to investigate, and was getting in my way as I was coming through the gate. I figured a quick horn toot would encourage her to back away. Well, when I...

Well, I guess this means its OFFICIALLY mine (as its not really mine unless I have had it stuck in my yard - everything I own on wheels has been at one point or another!)

So reading the manual, it tells me to loosen the large bolts, and then the small bolts to fold the ROPS. Is there a reason these need to be cranked down tight? What do you guys do (those of you who have to fold frequently) I need to fold mine down to put it in the barn.... but try to put...

Well, I ran out of fuel already!!! Hard to believe I have already put close to 16 hours on it! Also hard to believe I ran out of fuel... :confused: I will be contacting the dealer.... Sorry, but this just aint right!!

I am starting this thread as a place to list off anything I do to my 3039.... Today, I added 2 of Ken's bolt on hooks, and a receiver tube. Also finished running the wires for my 'idiot light'. Just need the switch for that now, and I decided that I am going to add a second 'fuse box' for...

**cross posted in the customization thread, but more LS specific questions here** Since my driveway is short, and has a bunch of road frontage (not to mention a 55mph road), I felt it best to mount a Idiot Light on my tractor. Can be thought as me being an idiot in the road, or me trying to...

Since my driveway is short, and has a bunch of road frontage (not to mention a 55mph road), I felt it best to mount a Idiot Light on my tractor. Can be thought as me being an idiot in the road, or me trying to avoid idiots on the road, your choice! I wanted it to be semi protected when the...

Reading through the manual... and noticing a few things. It shows an indicator for the Diff lock and fuel filter warning. Do either of these actually work? Also I notice that the dash actually has 4x4 indicators and such. While I know they arent wired up, does anyone know if the LED is...

So reading my manual - it states that just the filters get changed at the 50 hour service, not the actual oils.... I thought the oil got changed too?

I thought all the LS loaders were self leveling..... but the manual that came with mine says 'non-self leveling' loader. All the pictures match my loader and what I see in pictures on here... Am I missing something?

Just looking at pics of other R3039's, and i notice some with the quick couplers for the loader down on the valve body. Mine are up on the loader arm. leaving the hoses on the tractor when the loader is removed... Did my dealer do it backwards? The one guy at the dealership I asked about it...

I just did a quick search for this, and didnt see a thread that seemed to have what I want. What is the preference for Third Function - using a bypass for the bucket curl? Or adding a complete power beyond valve? (if adding a power beyond, electric solenoid vs actual manual valve) I am...

I think I understand the difference in the terms.... but why the major difference? Looking at the specs for the LL3103 for the R3039, Lift capacity is 2250, while Breakout Force is 3457. Is the lift capacity that much lower just for safety reasons while maneuvering with a load? I guess the...

I am asking this here in the LS forum, because I am looking for the opinion from LS owners only (as thats what I am looking to buy, and want a good comparison on the specific tractor). Basically - Ag vs Industrial tires, and why? Do the industrial tires do as good traction wise? I know they...

Hey guys I find myself in need of a CUT with FEL. I currently have a little 15hp Bolens (made by Iseki) that I use for mowing, and light duty backblade work. I have been randomly borrowing a friends Kubota L2650 with loader and backhoe. The Kubota is a nice unit, but I have found some things...
