    50 Hr Service noticed shavings in hydro fluid

    I recently completed the 50 hr service on my L3130HST and noticed very small, very fine shavings on the bottom of the Hydro fluid catch pan. Some say this is normal, does anyone on TBN have an opinion or experience the same thing?

    L3130 100hr service found only 1 Air Filter!!

    Last night when I went to change air filters on my L3130 I got an unpleasant surprise...I found only one filter, the outer filter, no inner filter was present. The Operator Manual and my local dealer (not the purchasing dealer) says it should have an inner and an outer air filter. I bought...

    L3130 Bucket Leaks down fast.

    I have a newer L3130 with the 513 FEL that I bought in April 2007 with 65 hours on it and am noticing the bucket leaks down very quickly. When I first took delivery of the unit I noticed a very tiny amount of leakdown, and knowing that SOME bucket leak down is acceptable, I didn't pursue fixing...

    Question on adding 2nd Rear Remote on L3130

    Has anyone ever added a 2nd remote to their L3130? I had the 1st one put on at the dealership in May 07 when I bought the tractor brand new. It seems I remember the salesman telling me that the 1st remote cost significantly more than the second one. He said if I decide to add a 2nd valve...

    Loader bucket leaks down

    I have a new L3130 with the 513 loader and notice that if it sets for awhile the buckut will leak down. When I start the tractor in the morning, or after a couple hourse of sitting, I always curl the bucket back 3 or 4 inches. Obviously it is not extreme but can be an annoyance since I...

    Excessive lash in Front Diff?

    While doing some cleanup work on my property I put the bucket down enough to raise the front wheels of my tractor. When I got off the tractor I gave the one front wheel a spin. I noticed that the wheel turned about an inch (measuring at tread) before the opposite side engaged and turned in the...

    L3130 Pedal Spongy in LOW range

    I have 18 hours on my new L3130 and am noticing a spongy pedal in low. In other words the tractor constantly catches up to the position of the pedal. The problem isn't really bad but is certainly noticeable compared to the other ranges. In M and H the tractor responds very well to pedal...

    Play in L3130 Steering Wheel. Is this normal?

    How much play is considered normal in the steering wheel of a new tractor? If I mark a spot on my steering wheel and turn left to right, I have to turn it 2 1/2" to 3" before the front wheels move. Transversely, when driving the tractor I see the wheels move back and forth slightly when the...

    Poor Quality Control IMO

    I just purchased a brand new L3130 and after a few hours of operation I found that my bucket level indicator had been rubbing against a hydraulic hose. I loosened the connection and turned the hose away and it seems ok now but the rod wore through to the metal braid on the hose. Another...

    L3130 72" QA Light Duty Bucket or Standard 66" Bucket

    I need some advice. I just bought a new L3130 w/LA513 FEL and the standard 66" bucket. I really need a bucket that is a little wider. My dealer is willing to trade me out of my "standard" 66" bucket into a 72" Light Material Bucket. This bucket while only 6" wider has almost 50% more...
