I have a ZD-1011 Zero Turn and had a question about greasing the "U" joints for the shaft that goes between the motor and hydraulic pump. Was able to get the slip joint fitting and the "U" joint on the motor side. Seems impossible to get to the joint on the pump side without removing the shaft...
I have an older 4530 with Mahindra quick attach and bucket. When I first bought the tractor new around 2003, it had a stock bucket level indicator. Took it off because I was doing a lot of clearing work and didn't want to damage it. Cleaning up my shop today, I found the indicator and wanted to...
Looking to buy a new diesel zero turn mower and have always liked Kubota equipment. Two local dealers I called gave very vauge answers to my engine questions.
Do the smaller zero turns, like a ZD 1011,require DEF?
Do these smaller engines have an EGR system?
Do these smaller engines have a...
I have a BX-1500 and the valve stems on the front tires are dry rotted and starting to leak where the stem goes through the wheel. Anybody know the wheel hole size for the stem or the trade number for a stem that fits? I would like to have a new stem in hand before I remove the tire. If the stem...
I was thinking about getting a front mount snow blower. The one I was looking at requires hydraulics to make it work. It is driven by the mid PTO; but needs a joy stick to lift it.
I have a load but the joy stick is attached to the loader. So when the loader is removed, the joy stick goes with...
Any body with a BX-1500 have a snow blower? Am seeking some info before I decide what to buy a blower. Front vs rear mount? Brand? Cost? Width of blower?
I have a BX 1500. Today when I started it up I noticed my head lights were on but the switch was in the off position. Turned the switch to on and the lights went off for a few seconds then came on. Turned the switch off; the lights went off for a few seconds then came back on. Any ideas what's...
I have a 20" Homelite Chain Saw that was a reconditioned unit. The saw does not cut straight. My other saws give a nice square cut; but this Homelite drifts and will not cut square. Any ideas what causes this?
The hour meter on my 4530 has a space to the right of the tenths of an hour digit. The space has a wheel which moves between black and white. What is the significance of this wheel??
I would like to install LED lights on my trailer; but am concerned about the turn signals working properly. My concern is the truck flasher unit. I have a '97 Dodge with factory installed tow package. Anybody know if LED lights will work with my truck?
Have a Mahindra 4530 with a Mahindra loader. Problem is Mahindra's only come with a 4 position control from their loaders. Which means you can not raise and tilt at the same time. Any ideas about how I can convert over to an 8 position type control??
I recently purchased a 4530 with the Mahindra ML245 loader. My only previous experience was a small Kubota. I find it difficult to use the loader and even thought something was wrong with the hydraulics. I can not raise the bucket and tilt it at the same time. This even more noticable since I...
Want to pull some tree stumps, What is the best place to attach the chains to the tractor? Have a draw bar and was thinking of using chain hooks at the ends of the bar? Is it better to attach the chains to the loader bucket? Is it better to use straps instead of chains?
Stumps aren't that...
Have a chance to buy a 3 point hitch mounted fork lift. These have a much higher lift capacity than the front mounted pallet forks. Anyway 2 sets of hydraulic lines are needed to operate the lift and tilt functions.
Am having trouble in finding out exactly what I need to get these lines...
Keep discovering new things on my 4530. Found 2 connectors at rear of tractor on the right side by 3 point hitch just hanging there not attached to anything. Each connector has 2 wires going to it. These are not shown on the wiring diagram that came with the service manual. Any idea what these...
New to tractors and I had a question about the tire pressure to run in my tires. When I inflate the rear tires, which are 24" R-4's, to the recommended pressure of 20# both tires are cupped so that the centers of the tires hit the ground but not the edges. The fronts do not do this; they had...
Still getting used to my 4530. The 3-point lift works fine in the lifting or up direction but does not have any force in the down direction. I have to stand on the arms to get them to fall. Is this normal?? If it is, how can a post hole digger work? I need to sink some posts and am looking for...
New to tractors; so I had a question about the name of an item used between the lower arms of the 3-point hitch. It is flat with holes in it; want to put a hitch ball in one of the holes and use one of these to haul around a trailer.
Also considering buying a used hydraulic attachment for...
Am close to buying a new 4530. Dealer told me all available manuals for this tractor come with it on a CD. Searching the internet I found a service manual and a parts manual are available. Are these manuals, the service and parts really included with the tractor? Other brands I looked at do not...
After much searching and reading, have decided to buy a 4530 and was wondering if any dealers who frequent this site could give me a price? Would like a loader to go with the tractor also. I live north of Baltimore about 30 miles or so.
Anybody have a good, low hour used one for sale?
Thanks...
Just bought a used 2005 BX 1500. Figured out how to use it OK except for one item. The control on the right which raises and lower the 3-point hitch and mower deck seems to lower or raise both at once. Is there any way to operate them seperately.
Have been reading tractor literature and notice the phrase 1/4 inching valve when manufacturers write about a 3 -point hitch. What does this mean?
Thanks
Just bought a BX 1500 from a neighbor who is moving. Anyway, want to give it a good service and change filters and oils. The Kubota is a good ways from me but the NAPA guy is just down the road. Anybody have the NAPA part numbers for the filters. The old ones on the tractor are painted gray and...
Am new to tractors as I just retired and bought a 7 acre piece of propery with a nice cabin and large workshop. Was a city fellow before that.
Have been reading about tractors and the Mahindra seems like a good tractor for the money. I visited the closest dealer but he only had 2 tractors on...
