    Battery life expectancy - Manufactured 2014 LS G3038?

    Had to plow the driveway a couple nights ago and it fired right up at 0* so maybe I'll get more time out of it. I wish my auto batteries would last this long...

    Battery life expectancy - Manufactured 2014 LS G3038?

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. I do believe the tractor has been sitting for about a month so I imagine that plays a part. I agree, I'm kind of surprised it's still working frankly.

    Battery life expectancy - Manufactured 2014 LS G3038?

    2015 LS G3038 that has a manufacture date of 2014. OEM battery was a little slower than usual to start yesterday with night time lows in the teens to single digits the past few weeks. How long have folks been getting out of the factory battery these days? I don't keep this on a tender but I...

    LS front axle seals leaking

    2014 LS G3038 The tractor is currently at the dealer getting 4 new axle seals. The first slow leak started a couple years ago and it only got worse. A few weeks ago, I went to use the tractor and found small puddles on the inside floor area of both front tires. I always check the fluid level...

    Just noticed that my 2014 G3038 has a RH front axle leak

    Doing an oil change today, I noticed build up on the inside of the RH front wheel. I removed the wheel and its was caked all over. Checked the fluid level and it was about a quart low. How difficult of a repair job is replacing the seal? I couldn't find the axle breather to see if it was...

    G3038 upgrade?

    A few things here; -Dealer I bought the G3038 from a few years back now, sold me a 2015 model on paper but I realized just recently that mine is a 2014 model. I'm not angry about it and who knows, maybe it's better since that was the time they were transitioning to the tier 4 stuff so I have...

    Any small business owners from home?

    I am researching ideas about small business ownership from the home front or whether or not it's even possible. I have some property and a 60'x100' barn that needs work. I was thinking of hiring a contractor to replace the plywood and re skin the building to make it weather tight and then...

    G3038 straight pipe questions

    Thinking about straight piping the 3038. Pros / cons? I like the sound but have never heard a modern LS compact with a straight pipe. I also would like to minimize the factory restrictive exhaust. Mine is a 2014 so it looks like I can just remove the muffler all together. I was thinking of using...

    Bonehead mistakes??

    Last summer I accidentally hit the side of my Quonset hut garage with the tractor bucket. Damaged the corner pretty good. Unfortunately, I'm reminded of every time I pull in the driveway... Three years ago I was welding in the garage and a spark made it into a container full of used gear oil...

    G3038 Grab handle anyone?

    My G3038 has a grab handle on the left side bot nothing on the right side. I find I keep hitting the tire since I grab the rear fender when I using it. Anyone know where I can find one? No luck online or when I called my dealer.

    Lincoln AC225

    Just picked up a used one for $100. Maybe 5 years old. Has a really nice 25' SO cord already installed and a heavy duty custom made steel cart. I burned a few 6013 rods and tried a couple 6011's. I figured for $100 I cant go wrong. I have always wanted a stick welder for the farm repairs.

    Velvet leaf problem

    Out of control in my pasture. Any tips on getting rid of it? The field was neglected for the past 40 years. Last year I tried frequent mowings helped but I'm not sure if there is anything else I can do.

    Rain water collection

    How many folks here collect rain water? I'm almost finished installing my third 330 gallon tote and my set up should be done. Just curious what methods and set up's others are using? My plan is for watering plants and trees exclusively.

    Whole house water filter systems?

    I have one 20" x 2.5 and I need more filtration. I am trying to design a set up for triple big blue filters. Anyone care to share their set ups? I am thinking a spin down SS filter then triple BB filters with pressure gauges before and after. I would like to see other peoples set up's and ideas.

    Jackson WH70 BH3 anyone?

    My eyes are having a hard time these days with seeing the weld puddle clearly and I have run off track from time to time. My cheap harbor freight auto darkening helmet probably does not help. I know part of the issue is light in my barn, I have none... I run all my power needs off the generator...

    Work light options

    The factory LS worklight option for my G3038 looks like its cheaply made and flimsy. 'LS' Tractor Worklight for 'G' Series G3033,G3033H,G3038 & G3038H Tractors Has anyone made their own with some of the better quality LED lights available? I have pondered trying to make my own but not...

    Good morning folks. I have a small acreage (10) property. I generally use my tractor for mowing and dirt rearranging here and there. Getting tired of going into town for diesel when I'm using the tractor a lot. I have looked into the stand alone diesel tanks bit they range from 150-350...

    Independant PTO

    Never had a tractor with this before. I must say it's a very nice feature and makes things a lot easier. Are these standard features these days?

    New Holland Workmaster 35/40 vs LS G3033/G3038

    Just saw these and was curious what the differences are. Both have the shuttle shift or hydrostatic option. Same engines from what I saw. The NH shows slightly more hydraulic pressure flow and possibly a bit heavier. Are these tweaked specs or are there really the same tractor with some cosmetic...

    2002 LK3054 - Fluid leaking out the top of the gear box?

    Mine is a 2002 so the shifter is on the floor area. After getting the tractor nice and warm, I get some fluid oozing out the top of the shifter. It's not much, its just enough for the dirt and sand to start sticking to it. It's hard to tell on my view window but could this be from overfilling...
