So, my 20 year old L3830's 4N1 control valve is now leaking. I disconnected the hoses last night and the clam hasn't moved an inch, so I feel sure it's the valve. I need to find a repair kit, if they are offered, as I suspect replacing the O-rings will fix it, since the manufacturer says the...
I have a TC25 I am working on and I need to know how the glow plugs operate on this tractor. The only time they seem to be energized is when the engine is turning over, and that is odd to me, as my Kubota operates the glow plugs when you turn the ignition on, for 5 to 15 seconds, depending on...
I have a TC25 I am working on for a buddy. My tractor is a Kubota, so I am not familiar with this tractor. He started it and got it off the trailer, but by the time he got it to the garage a wire had broken on a safety switch, for range, and it would no longer turn over. Wire broke right where...
I am converting my WR Long 4 N 1 bucket to skid steer quick attach and am wondering if anyone else has done this. Trying to decide where to position the weld-on adapter plate vertically. The adapter plate the same height as the back of the bucket, at the bottom horizontal support. There is about...
I just picked up a grapple bucket for a skid steer and it has whatever couplers that skid steers take, I suppose, and I need to adapt them to my Kubota, which has smaller connectors on it, for my 4n1 bucket. The skid steer couplers measure .970" on the male end and the tractor couplers are .750...
I have a Ford 905 post hole digger that has bad shaft seals. When I called the NH dealer I was told that they have been discontinued and are not available. The NH parts rep also mentioned he read in some literature that "CH was no longer allowed to order from Bush Hog", sort of implying that the...
My front R4's seem to be pretty worn, they have about 6/32 of tread from new, which I believe is 19/32. The rears seem to have the entire 1" of tread they came with new. I figure the front wear is from turning and the heavy loads I carry with the FEL. I do notice that it is harder to disengage...
I am researching changing my Kubota LA723 loader over to a SSQA and have been looking at weld-on adapter plates to go onto the back of my WR Long 4n1 bucket once I cut the pivot pins off. I have noticed that many vendors offer 3/16", 1/4", 5/16" and 1/2" plates to weld on. Is there any formula...
I am looking for a source to get a new solenoid coil for my dump trailer. The down direction won't work. It says Lisk and has a number on it, 20427. From my googling it looks like it's an SPX/Fenner 2001405.
It is 2.125" long, has a .750" hole in the center, and a single spade terminal.
I have...
The dipper out direction on my BH90 gets stiff very quickly. By stiff I mean that when a push the lever it moves very lowly and the lever doesn't move much. If I put some force into it and push it all the way, the dipper moves quickly and suddenly the out direction frees up and works smoothly...
I bought my ZD25 with a Hi Run tire on one side and a Carlisle Turfmaster on the other, both 24x12-12. The Hi Run traction SUCKS. The Carlisle is pretty good, but since I have been browsing here I see that some people like the Carlisle WT300, a BX industrial tire. I like that idea but have...
I have been reading several threads here regarding the 350P because I want to learn to use mine better. I'm OK with it. Never had a weld break, steel or aluminum, but would like to become better at it wherever possible. I use MIG almost exclusively because I do not understand the advantage to...
I have a very old pulverizer and the spike on the drum are worn down to almost nothing. I am trying to think of a way to renew it in a time and materials-efficient way. A search here yielded nothing that looked relevant to me, but if you know of a thread, please send it my way.
My first thought...
Is there a web site or book I can get to learn how to calculate material strengths for a project?
For example, I just bought a stock trailer to store my stump grinder in, for the shelter and transportation. It was much cheaper than an enclosed cargo trailer, from the prices I see around here...
Sorry, I do not have a pic. I saw this grader being used to smooth a sled pulling track over the weekend, but did not think to ask anyone there about it. I will describe it and maybe someone can point me to a pic of it, or a name I can search for.
It was a V in the front, pointed towards the...
I attempted to order some tines for my Woods T60 (60") tiller, and while the dealer thought he could get them, when I called yesterday to see if they were in I was told that those part numbers were no longer available. This is really surprising to me. I hate to have to buy a new tiller because I...
I bought a log splitter for the 3-point and find that it seams weak. I say weak because the wedge gets stuck in hard logs. I figure the logs are some kind of Oak, but I am not sure. My tractor is a Kubota L3830. The splitter has an old John Deere cylinder on it, but I don't know much about the...
I have added a couple of lights to point to the rear, off the ROPS (I made a bracket that bolts to the canopy brackets, no drilling the ROPS). I need to figure out how to tap into the electrical for it. I have had thoughts of coming off the headlights, as I shouldn't need the rear lights if the...
My L3830 has a right front wheel seal leaking. Just started Saturday, after just getting it back from the dealer on 6-23. It was at the dealer to fix the LEFT front wheel seal, which was leaking. And my warranty just expired, on June 14th. I got the left seal done under warranty because I go...
I was supposed to remove a stump and dig the footings, but when I was trying to get the stump out of the hole the cylinder piston/shaft for the bucket BENT! I canot believe it! I have stalled all parts of the hydraulics on this BH90 numerous times, even on this particular stump yesterday, and...
I have an L3830 with the BH90 and I have hydraulics running to the back of the tractor, but I think I need a remote in order to run the angle cylinder on the Harley rake I just bought. I do not remember a remote ever being mentioned when I purchased the tractor, so I'm guessing I don't have one...
If I have an opportunity to get an old 72" Harley rake for about 3K, should I jump on it? The angle ram is not working, but the rest of it, supposedly, works well.
Thanks,
Chris
I have a Scott's (Made by JD) 46" riding mower with 3 blades. When I engage the blades I get a vibration. It's more thanm normal, but is not so bad I can't cut grass with it. I tried to make sure the blades were balanced last time I sharpened them. I also greased the blade shafts when I...
I am trying to understand how the BH install goes on an L3830. Does the BH come with a kit of lines that are a particular length? I am trying to figure out of I should go back to the dealer and complain because my lines for the BH are too short.
Here's the situation. The male line coming form...
My neighbor has an NH 1720 and his floor mats are cracking. He wants to replace the 3 of them but says the NH dealer wants 30 bucks a piece for them. Anyone know of any place that has them cheaper?
Thanks,

My old tractor is a 1963 Ford 4000, and my Howse rotary cutter fits it fine. The PTO shaft is too short to even be close to reaching on my new L3830 Kubota.
When I bought the rotary cutter I had to buy a new PTO shaft for it, since it was missing, and I got what I thought was a good size, as it...
First of all, I don't own a Kubota yet. I am trying to decide between trannies right now. I am planning on an L3830 with 4 in 1 FEL and BH. I currently own a 1964 Ford 4000 diesel that has 52 or 55 hp, no FEL, BH or PS.
At the dealer, I test drove a 4330 with HST and no FEL, and a 3830 with FST...
