Well, my neighbor behind me and I had shared a dead pine tree and I had a couple of pear trees that were not in good shape and I wanted down. The problem, he had a couple of guys that didn't want to do the job because a telephone pole was in the middle of the triple dead pine tree. My pool...

I hated every time I go to drive out of the garage. I have to start the tractor go in back and put up the backhoe stabilizers and get back in the cab. I want to get in hit the garage door opener and drive out. Backhoe Stabilizers Bleed Down, Why didn't I think of this, before. I did a nice...

I just never like using my foot to adjust the steering wheel on my 3240, doesn't seem natural to me. You have to lift your complete foot up off the floor 9 inches every time I get in or out of the cab. My shoe always hits and scuffs up the inside trim around the pedal, usually I have mud and...

You may have seen my Electronic Fel Indicator in another thread, and you may have seen my custom shift control knob also in another thread. In this thread those two combined with a couple of solenoid controlled hydraulic valves, and a few relays. I now have what I call Auto Level Stop Control...

Looked at a John deere 3720 cab today Drove by a John deere dealer today. Stopped to look at a 3720 cab with a 375 backhoe that was out front. It seems so small and compact compared to my Grand L 3240, it had 75 hrs on it. I looked at a 3320 before I bought my Kubota didn't notice the size...

After suggesting 4shorts make one for his Bx. I thought I would experiment with different ideas for my lever control in my cab. Here is my first attempt at it. I wanted close to the size of the factory rubber knob as I could, but yet have the third function switches built in right on it as a one...

I just separated this modification to make it easier to find. It's buried in with my other stuff and no real way to find it if someone wants to copy the modification in the future. Like TripleR did on his tractors step. :thumbsup: So it's a copy and a 70 hr. update. On my 3240 it's a long...

It's kinda hard to look cool:cool: when you smack your mirror into the pine trees. Oh well that's life. The road between the pines is dirt, that is why the bucket is up, I only push the snow going down the road. You can be sure those branches are getting trimmed.

Sorry for all the pictures, I would like to know at a glance whether I'm in or out of 4 wheel drive. A 4 wheel drive indicator light should be stock on a Grand L, like the E brake warning light is. Some 80's Toyota 4 wheel drive Tercel wagons had these Inclinometers as an expensive option. At...

Does your seat in the 40 series tractor squeak over every turn and bump? Are you wondering why in your quite cab, the seat makes so much noise? Do you use the three position angle seat option? If you don't use the very slight useless turn of the seat. Remove these four nuts, then remove the...

I wanted to put some cab marker lights on my tractor. The problem was the angle and curve of the top, it's hard to get any light to fit on it. I found the smallest led marker lights I could find. Unless I wanted them pointing up to the sky, I had to make some back spacers to be able to mount...

I finally had a chance to make a stack for my Grand L 40 cab tractor. I have been putting it off because of the problems with the fel upright being in the way and the angle of the original exhaust coming off the tractor. But I decided last week I had to get it done. I wanted a stack that...

I received a message about my electronic fel indicator today from another member. I realize it's buried in my Modification thread with no title to find it. So I'm making its own thread so people can find it in the future. I wanted to make a bucket level rod just like the one I made for my...

Since greasing the tractor is one of the most important things a tractor owner can do, Just wondering what others are doing for greasing? I just have a "one hand" run of the mill grease gun, I hate it, I hate doing it, I hate the mess. I'm thinking of getting an electric one and mounting it...

This may not be for everyone, but this is what I did for gauges and monitor. First I wanted to have the least obstructive gauge set I could find with the smallest footprint. For what I had in mind and the limited space I had to mount them. I could not find anything anywhere that I liked and...

This isn't for everyone, but this is what I did. First I wanted to have the least obstructive gauge set I could find with the smallest footprint. For what I had in mind and the limited space I had to mount them. I could not find anything anywhere that I liked and that was small enough for the...

26.6 hrs with 6 hrs not mine. Today is the first day I did some grading with the tractor. On my B3030 I put 690 hrs on it and five years mostly grading. I got pretty good with that bucket. I could scoop a rock up, throw it out of my way, and keep on going. I could grade an area like a pro. Back...

Can a Grand L cab 3240 be driven on the road 5 miles one way without extra wear or damage? Just wondering if running on dry pavement for extended amount of time cause damage. Anybody use their tractor that way?

It comes home tomorrow. I wanted to upgrade my B3030 cab but didn't like the new B series cabs, I wanted a Grand L cab but they were always too large to fit in my garage. What I really wanted was a Grand L in a B3030 size. Can't be done? Can't? Maybe it can? So at the dealer we swapped the...

Just wondering how it's working out for you. I don't see too many pictures of that setup, wondering if there is a reason why?

Since I wanted to change the bushing on the Hydro pedal on the floor anyway, I figured it was a good time to think about sealing up and sound proofing the floor of my cab. After some disassembly what I found was the whole weight of the Seat, Operator, Floor and Fenders rests on top of the...

Sorry for the title but I thought others should check the lines on their B3030. Cleaning the grease off the FEL today I noticed the fold up stand wore a groove in the metal hydraulic line in the loader arm. I never would have notice it if the loader wasn't all the way up. Not only in the arm but...

Don't you just hate all the new fangled gas and diesel cans. They think they're so much smarter making the tank safer for us stupid people with all the new regulations. In my opinion it's easer to spill harder to pour. I'll bet the people in charge of these designs never even use the gas/ diesel...

Looks like I'll be waxing the bucket again now,:D it was the only thing making my tractor looked used. I completely wore out my cutting edge at about 500 hrs kept using it till 690 hrs. I think now it will take a long time to put another 500 hrs on the tractor. Wondering if I should just...

I don't know if this is commonly known on removing a tree stump, but last year a storm knocked down a large tree right across our pool yard, fence and all. It was a big old maple tree with a big A**stump. About a month later, one Friday afternoon, I figured I'd just dig the stump out that day...

Has anyone checked out or purchased the new b3000 cab? Wondering if it's any quieter and tighter sealed from outside dust? Mine has 653 hrs on it now with only a worn out cutting edge and with all that Wax build up, I may be thinking of going new if there's a large enough improvement in the...

Maybe you guys already use this, but for the last couple of years I have been using Odorless paint thinner to clean the extra grease from the FEL joints. You know when you check your oil or air filter and get grease all over your shirt or jacket because we don't always have time to clean up the...

Wondering how everyone's doing with all this snow, record snow here in the Northeast. I thought my plow setup was the cats *** but I had to put my bucket back on and soon realized it's the only way to go. When I first bought my blade I only had a few hours on the FEL, now that I have 500 hrs...

Sorry wrong forum

Well I had my B3030 cab model for almost two years and as far as keeping the dust out of the inside of the cab it's a crappy design. I used it quite a bit this summer and last for dirt work, grading etc. If I'm working in dusty conditions the whole inside of the cab is covered with fine dirt...

Last fall I notice when my tractor was parked not running I could not turn the wheels when standing still in the garage. Over the past months using the tractor I notice more and more the steering would make a fluid bypassing noise while turning hard/fast right or left. Yesterday with a full...

I thought I would share with who ever is interested in putting in an interior dome light in their B3030 It's kind of a long post so only read it if your interested in putting a light in your cab. First of all Don't be AFRAID of taking down the headliner, it is easier then changing the oil...

When I put in the DVD/ stereo, / backup camera it sounded Ok but still something was missing even with two 6.5 inch speakers mounted behind the seat the sound is always competing with the tractor sounds. After watching 4ahorts new tractor video last week and seeing his built in speakers in his...

Just tried out my new steering wheel spinner tonight in the snow. I was really impressed of how easy it made steering with one hand on the fel control the other on the power knob. I even called my son our "you have to try this" after trying he agreed. Then I discovered a problem the knob once...

My cab is dark in the front no lights other then the headlights , in the back I have red tail lights. I was toying with the idea of running lights. Since I installed the B26 factory horn button I now have a switch position for parking lights with headlights off, so I can just turn on the running...

I let my son have a try at plowing. I hope that wasn't a mistake. Now he knows how much fun it is. YouTube - Kubota B3030 Plowing

How cool would that be to have on your tractor. Ventrac - V-Blade

Where the freshly graded dirt is, there was a 2 ft high 30 inch wide 50 ft long stone retaining wall which I built in 1986 when we put the garage addition on the house. It always collected leaves up top and on the bottom of the wall and had to be trimmed after mowing. There was also a wall...

This has been like this on my tractor since I first got it. I didn't think it was a big deal but it may be related to my fume problem?? On our tractors there are three vents up front by the windshield and two vents on the sides. When I have my heat on, and switch the control with most of the air...

I know I'm risking some nasty responses with that title but I thought I'd post some satisfaction for the people that don't get to wax.:o Last week was the first time using my new blade,(two hours):eek: And here I thought I could keep it looking nice for a few years since it's only going to be...

I had the factory stereo in the cab but I wanted to install a backup camera with monitor instead of having both the radio and a 7 inch monitor I thought i would just replace the radio with a Kenwood dvd player am/fm cd add larger speakers and a backup camera all in one unit. I just had to make...

I have a B2791 front hitch for the B2765A front snow blade, I do not have installation instructions yet from the dealer. Can anybody tell me the correct hook up of the hydraulic lines for each cylinder according to this picture? I would say one cylinder would be hooked up to the red and blue...
