I would like to change the outlet location for the exhaust pipe away from the front left tire to somewhere where I don't have to breathe the exhaust. I was thinking of running an extension pipe 2 the outlet the back of the roll bar above my head. I don't have a cab. Has anybody done something...

I have an L3700SU with category 1 3pt hitch. I would like to use a category 2 drawbar but the 1.125 pin size won't fit the 1.00 inch swivels in the lift arms. Is there a way to convert things to allow for the category 2 drawbar?

I am considering the purchase of a used, clean 500 gallon diesel fuel tank. My neighbor has one with a large electric pump which reads out gallons and about 15ft of good hose with a nice nozzle. Along with the tank comes a spill basin. The pump can be wired for either 110 or 240v. There is also...

Will snow chains with studs severely scratch concrete and/or black top drives? How rough is the ride when using 2 link ladder chains? I've used 4 link ladder chains without studs and I thought I'd like a bit more traction. I don't want to put divits into an asphalt driveway and I'd like to...

Have any of you bent or twisted one of the B series tractors before? I'm only thinking of a light twist or bend such that it is only for a moment and then the frame restraightens itself. I've seen my Craftsman mower frame do that a lot when I mow the ditches and go up side hills.

I am looking for a mechanic familiar with repairing Kubota hydraulic transmissions. Here's what I have: My B2400HD hydraulic transmission began leaking badly during usage. It leaked up under the frame rail along side of the pump/motor housing (at the cast iron valve body). I can't determine...

My 1998 B2400HSD began leaking its hydraulic oil badly next to the valve body at the transmission. There are too many brackets in the way to see exactly where the oil is coming from. I can easily see that it's not from any of the plugs in the bottom of the valve body. It might be coming from the...

I am considering the purchase of a B4672A backhoe for my 1998 B2400HSD. The tractor already has the LA351 Loader and subframe. I do not have the mid mount mower. I have been told the addition of the backhoe requires a folding ROPS. My tractor did not come with one. I'm not sure any B series...

I am looking for typical prices for a backhoe Kubota model 4672 which fits the B2400 and other B-series models. According to the manufacturer, this is the only Kubota hoe that fits the B2400. Thanks.

I am trying to understand the difference in performance between snow blower fan blades. Some are 3 blade or 4 blade and I've even seen one with 6 blades. How does the number of blades relate to the hp? I am wondering if the load on the engine goes down as the number of blades increases. My...

My neighbor had an old Jacobson snow blower attachment that he wanted to attach to his FEL inplace of the usual bucket. After making the attachment brackets for the blower, we set about working on supplying power to the unit. We used his mid-PTO to power a hydraulic pump that hangs under the...

My uncle has a 1965 era Chevy 409 cu in engine that he no longer needs. It has always run well. It was in a Chevy Model 30 logging truck which is basically a flatbed with a cab-over style. The truck is gone but the engine is sitting safely in the barn. It always ran real well and was a treat to...

We are going to build a new barn for all the equipment we have accumulated. It will also contain a shop of sorts. At this point, the barn design has not been finalized but the location in the yard has been selected. We began clearing an area for our upcoming barn building project. We had to...

I am looking for ways to measure the RPMs of single cylinder, two-stroke dirt bike engines. I've seen a wire/reed style that looked like it might work for diesels as well. Does anyone have experience with them or seen this sort of thing? Thanks.

Has anyone here ever added cross links to tire chains? I have a set that has a 4 link spacing. I'd like to add cross links in order to have a 2 link spacing. Thanks.

Snowblower powered by tractor\'s onboard hydraulics Have any of you seen or read about a snowblower that was powered by the tractor's on-board hydraulics? My neighbor and I are doing a conversion on a JD 770, where the snowblower attaches to the FEL in place of the bucket. We already have an...

I'm looking for the hydraulic fluid capacity for the 770. I want to run a hydraulic motor, driven by the onboard hydraulic system, to power a front mounted snowblower, attached to the FEL, and need to figure out if an additional reservoir is necessary.

Has anyone replaced Cub Cadet mufflers for the garden tractor model 1430? It has a 14hp Kohler v-twin and uses flat mufflers. So far, I've called two dealers and the two mufflers are more than $150.

It appears that one of the oil seals (part 060) on the front spindle (part 010) has grown a leak and needs replacing. The picture from the parts book shows a relatively simple arrangement. It looks to me like removal of the 4 bolts holding the spindle to the axle, will allow the spindle to drop...

Back in high school, my hydraulics instructor had several test panels that had aircraft hydraulic actuators: cylinders, jack-screw motors and flow controllers. They were interesting in that they were made to operate with very high pressures (closer to 5ksi than 2ksi). The cylinders had a small...

Recently I purchased a new front mount snow blower for my B2400. The blower model is a B2660. During the process of putting the kit together, I came across a number of errors/inconsistancies between what the installation manual wanted, what the parts list showed and the parts I actually...

Does anyone in our TBN community have a B2782 front mount snow blower? I have some literature from Kubota that says it will fit a B2410. I'd like to have that verified. Is it really 63 inches wide? That's what's in the publication but it seems to be a weird number. Also, is the hydraulic chute...

I tried to search for a thread that covered this topic bus was unsuccessful. So please excuse me if you've heard this before. What are the good woodworking tools and brands? What are the brands, models and types that you folks have good experiences with? I'm going to set myself up so I can...

The LA351s have a plastic spacer between the control valve body and the cap. The cap is aluminum and is the "Detent Kit" for the Float position. There is a similar unit for the "fast dump". The plastic spacer on my dump valve has shattered. Rather than replace it with another piece of plastic...

Earlier this summer, my wife and I had to place a baby Northern Oriole back into its little nest. The nest was a bit over 20 feet in the air and way out on the end of a small branch. But there was a problem: how do you hold up a 20 foot extension ladder when there's nothing to lean it against...

This is a photo of a portion Tourist Park in Marquette Michigan. This failure was caused by 4 inches of rain falling in just a couple of days, thus creating too much water for a dam 30 miles up stream from this location. The dam 30 miles upstream, Silver Lake Dam, let go and is now empty...

On the B2400, I have noticed four bolt holes on each of the rear axle housings. These bolt holes form a square pattern, surrounding the axle, when viewed from the end of the axle. On older model tractors, NAA, 8N etc. these holes exist for the purpose of attaching chains or bars to help...

I need to relocate 89 Austrian Pines. They are 1-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter and 8 to 12 feet tall. The problem is the spacing, about 18 inches apart. I want to separate them so they don't kill each other or loose their lower limbs. I expect to rent a skid loader with an attached Tree Spade...

After putting nearly 60 hours on the meter while clearing land for new barn, my Kubota just died. It's the wierdest thing too. The engine starts and runs well, at any throttle position as long as I hold the key switch in the START postion. I can hear that the starter is spinning freely once the...

Is a yard of dirt measured: 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft=27 cu ft?

Last night while digging with the FEL in my yard, I noticed that while moving into a sand pile, my rear wheels nolonger had power; but the front wheels did. The right hand wheel sort of vibrated in place. The left wheel did nothing; it just sat there. The rapid pulse like motion was accompanied...

For those of you who have Ag tires, how well do you like them in the snow and in sand? I have R4s that are garbage in snow and sand. I use chains to help. Peter

In the process of designing my new barn, I have been closely following the various posts regarding the Workbenches etc. Reading through it all, it dawned on me to start a thread about the layout of the shop and machine storage areas. I'm thinking of where everyone puts their benches with...

This was a 10Wx60Lx4H pile of wood chips Mary and I moved. We used a small motorcycle trailer to haul the chips to the backyard. It was nice to fill the trailer with the FEL, but we were stuck emptying it by hand. Peter

Has anyone had good experience with garden hose adapters made for adding water to tractor tires? I got one at TSC and the thing leaked like a screen door on a submarine! I had plans to use it for adding anti-freeze to the ballast water, but after watching it leak (while installing the ballast...

This is the tool I made when I installed a field fence in my yard. The fence is general purpose field fence from Tractor Supply. The fence is 330 ft long and 4 ft high. The spool was about 100 pounds. I used the tool to hold the spool of fence while I pounded the T-posts into the ground. Two...

To those of you who run ballast in your tires, how much air pressure do you use? In other words, if the typical psi is 40, would you use this much psi even with tire ballast?

How many pounds of weight can be added to the front of a B2400HSD if the FEL is removed but the subframe remains?

Since getting my tractor, I have learned that, with a slight increase in premium, my home owners policy will cover damage, loss etc to it, but only if it's on my property at the time (or slightly in the street, like still in the easment area, while clearing my driveway). But if I run down to the...

Please excuse me if this is "old news". A website based in Johnson City, Tennesee has some part numbers available on-line. Along with the numbers are images of the parts. This particular website also has a few help topics, parts counter, dealersip and quote capability. The site I refer to is...

This is a photo of my little tractor trying to turn a small mountain into a mole hill, in my backyard. As the photo shows, I've been able to cut into it somewhat. Now all I need to do is continue the cut for another 30 feet or so. This little mountain got put here by a landscape company before...

Would anyone be interested in starting a discussion thread which would list known warranty bulletins that have been issued or specifically address by Kubota? My thought is to have a listing by tractor model. Most of the listings, presently, are by problems that occurred. For example, there are...

Does anyone have experience with rotary sweepers for compact tractors-especially for snow removal? I have a very steep blacktop driveway that gets icy if the snow gets compacted by my loader bucket or box scraper blade. Usually I clear the drive before I leave for work in the morning. Doing...

Are there copper washers on the oil filter screen fitting? If so, has anybody replaced them when servicing the hydraulic oil screen filter? Does the large bolt that holds the filter screen in place get replaced as well? I was looking at the style of fitting and it looks like a standard banjo...

What would cause a 2 year old LA351 loader to pause during its dump cycle? It tends to do this when the lever is pushed far to the right in the rapid dump position (away from the operator in accordance with the manual & sticker). The hoses have been checked for proper routing-there're OK. The...
