    Grand L4240 heating

    My tractor with a bit over 350 hours has recently started showing four bars on the temp gauge rather than the three I normally see. Although this isn't overheating, I'm concerned. I've flushed the coolant, blown air through the radiator, checked the air filters, and oil levels. I'm...

    chainsaw recommendations

    Here's my dilemma: My Stihl 031 that I bought new in 1978 finally bit the dust after many years of noble service. It was one heck of a rugged saw. So, I'm looking for a replacement and have been perusing websites and a couple of local dealers. What I've found fills me with unease. The current...

    Oil & Fuel  Super UDT-2

    At fifty hours, I spoke with the dealer and was told I'd save a lot of money going with Hy-Guard rather than the super udt-2 for the transmission oil change on my L4240-hst. I followed his advice and pretty quickly noticed difficult shifting and a bit of whine that seemed new. So, yesterday I...

    New Chipper Shredder

    Pulled the trigger on a Wallenstein BXM32 chipper shredder today. To all who have posted on TBN regarding chipper/shredders, a hearty thank you. I don't know how many hours I've spent reading posts to the attachments threads, but it was more than worthwhile. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Any American made manual grease guns?

    Not too long ago, I purchased a Lincoln manual grease gun. The last time I replaced the grease tube, the top wouldn't tighten correctly - it acted like the threads were stripped. Then, this morning, as I was greasing the fel, the top of the gun blew off. Yes, it was a mess - a nearly full tube...

    Torque Wrench Question

    I've been out of the tool buying world for quite a few years and need advice/suggestions for the purchase of a torque wrench for checking torque on wheel and frame bolts on my Kubota (Grand L4240).

    Ken's Hooks

    After reading a bunch of fel bucket hook posts, and looking over some hooks at my local hardware store, I ordered a set of Ken's bolt on hooks. They arrived and I give them a big thumbs up. Excellent quality and speedy delivery - in a world over-filled with cheap and shoddy, I'm happy to...

    Santa will have a new sleigh this week!

    I received a call today letting me know that the L4240 hst-3 with fel, scraper box, and rear ballast I've been waiting on had arrived and was being uncrated. I should take delivery at the end of this week or early next week. I feel like a little kid at Christmas time. :D

    front tire roll-off question

    As a newbie, I've noticed a few references to front tires rolling off their rims and I'm wondering what steps, if any, can help prevent this. Also, what's involved in reseating a tire? Are there special tools I should have on hand? :confused3:

    Tire Loading Question

    I've been quoted the following for loading the r4 tires on a Grand L4240: 50/50% anti-freeze: 2-55gal plus another 24gal(fronts) = $829.33 $45.00 per tire labor. Does this sound close to fair?:confused3:
