I've had a 5030 for about 16 years and am very pleased with it. The only trouble I ever had was a bad battery clamp that I was able to replace with little trouble. The battery itself is the original and still works as well as when I bought the tractor. Keep up with the scheduled maintenance and...
It looks like the pin to adjust the thumb is missing on the thumb adjustment. I think the bucket moves the object to be picked up to the thumb rather than the other way around. Move the thumb down in the the picture and secure with a pin through the adjusting link.
My driveway is graded base and I try to leave some snow on it when snowblowing or using the FEL. For the stone that gets on the grass, I have good luck with a backpack blower.
Over 40 years ago while building, we installed a steel fire box that was inside another steel box and used outside air. There are two blowers that direct air into the living room and two other rooms if needed. It is similar to the old "Heatilators". After 40+ years it is still providing much...
Had the same thing happen to a Kubota L5030. With the loader on it took me several hours to get to it and replace after some modification to a new clamp.
I prefer doing my own maintenance so it gets done when I want to do it. I can also stop and do some work with the tractor and go back to the maintenance later.
When it's dark out, turn on all the inside lights, open a door and chase it out the door. They don't like the bright lights and will fly toward the darkness.
My driveway is 40 years old and still in pretty good shape. I used something called "graded base". Its made of pea stone and larger processed rock. Easy to spread and packs like cement. It does get a little soft during spring mud season. The only problem is how you plow or blow snow. If it...
I have a Kubota 5030 and am looking to buy a used wallenstein pto chipper. I have an auxiliary hydraulic at the rear of the tractor. The owners manual says i need a control with a detent position which my controls don't have. I also have hydraulics for a backhoe that has no control, just an in...
I've noticed recently that there are popups appearing in the bottom right corner of articles. I find these quite annoying. I can close the current one but new ones appear. Anyone know how to get rid of them?
My Gator won't start. It turns over and tries to start but that's all. It did start momentarily but then stopped. Also, the power lift for the bed won't operate so I can't access the engine etc. Both turn signal dash lights light up even though I don't have turn signals! I've checked all the...
With a week of 90+ temps, the deer flies this year are man eaters. Does anyone know of any repellant that works? I was going to try some diesel fuel but a friend talked me out of it. He didn't want me to self combust because of the heat!LOL Thanks
I can't find shear bolts for a Puma 74 inch rear mount snow blower. Owner's manual calls for a Grade #2 for the auger. Can I use a regular grad#2 bolt of the same size? The drive shaft calls for a M6 x 40mm bolt with no grade# indicated. Any suggestions appreciated.
