I have a Ford 1900, bought new in 1982. The last two times I used it I have some coolant dripping from the radiator overflow. Left about a 6 inch diameter puddle on the drive. I replaced the radiator cap with one matched up from Autozone after the first indecent and it did it again. The temp...

I have a 12" culvert, HDPE Dual wall H25 rating. I need to get more gravel over it. Right now there is only about 1/2 inch of gravel over the top. I am wondering if my RAM diesel and 12' x 6' gravel trailer could go over it to spread more. I don't have a way to turn around and I am not going to...

Wondering how many would go for a gas CUT if Kubota made one. Do all new tier 4 Kubotas use DEF?

I'm looking at getting this for a backup in case my 25KW kohler has a problem during a bad outage. Anyone have opinions about Winco generators? Winco W1PTOS PTO Generator, 3-Pt Hitch, & Shaft Package (1kW)

Has anyone heard if this saw will be available in the USA...

Does anyone know of a snow blower that is geared up to run faster than 540 RPM? I didn't find one searching. My blower on the L3400 throws snow about 15 feet and plugs easily in wet snow. I have a Honda walk behind that throws snow about 30 feet and never plugs. I feel the need for speed on my...

I stopped my my dealer today to get some oil. A Mom and Pop dealer with great service. He had three saws on the wall. This spring it was full. I asked why so few. He said Stihl now requires you to pay up front before you sell them and he did'nt have enough cash to stock the wall. Does this...

This isn't a tractor post but I am wondering if anyone has seen a hornet this big. I killed one in my tractor garage last week and this one showed up today on the screen of my cabin. I wonder if this is one of those Asian hornets. I have never seen one near this size until this year. I am in...

Just bought a 150 TC-E to leaqe on my quad for cleaning up stuff that keeps falling all summer. Sure is a super light saw for those little jobs.

Just wondering how many hours and what problems you have had on your L3400. Mine is a 2005 bought new. It has 360 hours on it. It is used with a Woods RD7200 finish mower and a snow blower. I have no end loader on it. Almost all the hours are with the PTO running. My dealer replaced the 3PH...

The last few times I enaged the mower at idle it was a bit jerky starting up. Today the cable broke off at the lever end. The cable must have been hanging on by a few threads and stretched towards the end. It lasted 368 hours and seven years. I called four dealers near here and nobody stocks...

I've had my 2005 since new and never really noticed that the HST pedal has play in it. I noticed the pedal is loose on the HST control arm bracket, but It does not tighten up. It may have been this way since new. So, are your pedals loose or tight to the HST control arm?

I have not changed my profile since the new forum format was installed. I can't figure out where to change my profile. I am logged in, I guess I'm getting stupid. Need help.

I sat on an L3200 today and while there is a slot for the cruise conrol lever, there is no lever. Did the dealer not install it or is it an option now?

I went over to the farmer across the street to clear a drift on his gate he couldn't get with his back blade. There was a tree branch in there so I broke a shear pin on the impeller. Normally no big deal. I drove back to my garage to replace the pin and found the impeller was jammed. It became...

I went out to clear off 8 inches of wet heavy snow, The stuff that always plugs my blower. This time I had a thought and sprayed the chute and impeller down with fluid film. Two hours of blowing and no plugged chute, not even any sticking to it. It really worked.

A few of these things showed up last year. This year there are 10 times as many. I have no idea what they are. The stems are about an inch in diameter and purple. They are brittle and filled with white stuff. They break real easy. They produce a lot of purple berries too. I wonder if they can be...

I have 4 gallons of un-opened antifreeze about five years old. There is no date code on the containers. I would think it is fine but I wonder if that is true. Anyone know for sure?

I guess this is a common problem. It happened at 180 hours. After three hours of mowing I drove back to the barn. I noticed drips of hydraulic fluid on the blacktop. It appears the sight glass is leaking. I wonder how long a new one would last. I'm thinking about plugging it and using a stick in...

I couldn't figure out how to put the pictures in the post so I had to attach it but it's worth viewing.

A Cessna 150 is on short final for a 3000 foot runway. There is a magic fan blowing a headwind up the runway at 100 MPH. The question is: Will it land.

I started my L3400 and noticed diesel fuel dripping from the pump while it was warming up. After making about a 3" dia. spot it stopped. The connections to the pump were OK it was leaking where the can attaches to the pump housing. I called my dealer and he had never seen this happen. He said...

I was using the 748 today and I noticed the left rear tire was flat. I pulled the tire and visually inspected and nothing. I soaped it, nothing. So I filled a bathtub and stuck in in there. Nothing. I wiggled the valve stem and it seems fine. I was pushing ice chips up on the edge pretty hard...

In the past I have advocated moth balls and used them myself in a classic car I have in a pole barn. This year I spread them in a corner mice like in a tool shed out back near my cabin. They always build in there and don't really hurt anything but I figured, what the heck. I was cutting...

I'm going to put a suspension seat on my L3400 soon. Mowing bumpy terrain for 4 hours is too hard on me anymore. I'm wondering who has the best riding seat, at any price. I want to get the best ride possible. Anyone have experience with these seats? I've looked at Michigan seat so far. Anyone...

Since there were people complaining here abount no snow in Early January and it seemed to help, I thought I'd complain about too much and see if that helps.:)

I've been thinking about trading my JD355D on a 748 with 54" mower and 60" blade. Mainly because I'd like 4WD and hydraulic angling for winter. Anyone have a 748 and what do you think of it? Do the front wheel tear up grass when in 2WD?

I'm thinking about a BX24 and want to put a BX2763A 60" hydraulic angle blade on it for winter. If any of you have this setup I have two questions. 1. Does the blade have float control? (my dealer is not sure but thinks not) 2. How easy does the blade go on and off?

A friend asked if he should fog his diesel tractor for the winter like we do the boat engines by spraying fogging oil in the air intake. I guess this would be OK but I have never done it since I use my tractors all year. Any comments?

I want to lay about 1/4 mile of electrical cable, about #6, 3 conductor, from my shop to my cabin. The soil is pretty sandy. Has anyone used a 3PH cable plow? I didn't find anything but big rigs when I searched the web.

I have a gravel drive about 1/2 mile long that goes over rolling hills back to my cabin. I spread the gravel myself with a dump trailer. It is about 6 to 7 feet wide. I have used the FEL driving backwards and the rear blade both for leveling. The FEL does only a fair job. The RB is very time...

I have had an L3400 HST for a few months now. I have noticed that when I push the clutch in the engine idles very quietly. When I let the clutch out there is a rattle that starts. I've never owned an HST and have assumed this is normal. Does anyone else notice this?

I just purchased an L3400 HST last month. The only other HST I have had is my JD355D garden tractor, which hardly counts. I plan to use the L3400 for brush mowing and snow blowing only but I still was interested in pulling power. I have been reading on the forum that to get more torque you must...

I just recently bought an L3400 HST. The only other HST I have is a JD diesel lawn tractor. The L3400 manual suggests warming the engine from 10 to 30 minutes depending on temperature. The JD manual does not mention this. I usually warm the JD for 5 minutes if it is below 20. Just wondering what...

Just wondering where the temp gauge runs on other L3400's? My new L3400 HST just gets above the little dot on the low end. Seems too cold. This is running a 60" brush cutter on an 85 degree day. I am wondering if the sender or gauge is defective.

I just got a new L3400 4WD HST. I have a 60 inch brush cutter on it. I depress the clutch and engage the PTO, then release the clutch. When I depress the clutch to disengage the PTO it makes a grinding sound. I think the mower is over running the PTO during it's coast down. To eliminate this I...
