ROUSTABOUT, I just don't have the time to go chasing all that stuff down and if I can get it cooling again for $1K or less I'm good with that.

Thanks K5. I have looked at several online and the longest warranty period is one year but the one that you posted only has 30 days. I may have to just gamble on one of the ones with 12 month coverage. Thank you for your input.

Last year you guys led me through diagnosing my AC issue as far as I could go and I ended up taking it to the local Kubota dealer. Bad compressor was the diagnosis and they quoted $2300 to make it cool like new. Can't spent that much on it. I have looked at new aftermarket compressor and found...

Already ordered it and don't particularly care for the local dealer.

Well, dang! I forgot about Messicks. Thanks!

I'm in the market for a shop manual in a 3 ring binder. I don't want a CD or a PDF on my laptop. And I don't want copies of copies of pages of a shop manual. Is the Kubota dealer the only place to get this?

Yes.

Well, I finally had a few hours to get back on this issue with rented gauges from the parts store. Both Low and High sides have ZERO pressure whether the tractor is running or not so I'm not chasing a voltage/clutch or relay issue.

There is actually a factory installed coupling in one heater hose that's in the perfect place for a shutoff. Tomorrow I'll drain the coolant and take that coupler with me to size the fittings for the shutoff. I made some more progress today as well but for now that is under my hat.

Replied!

Tx Jim, I get it that the coolant pressures need to be checked. My intention is to eliminate a lack of voltage or other electrical failure before I get someone else involved OR buy gauges myself. Just the elementary stuff that doesn't cost me anything is what I want to eliminate. AND, I will...

I don't have gauges to check pressures. The ambient temp was 82 degrees. Since the compressor clutch isn't engaging at all I suspected something electrical....a relay.... I will momentarily jump 12V to it tomorrow to see if it engages and I will also try to track down that relay that diesel85...

This is a well maintained 2004 L3430 HSTC with 1005 hours on it. The screens are clean and the freon is good. Before I start trying to trace wires tomorrow I wanted to ask if there is a relay in the AC circuit that may have died. Over the years since 2016 when I bought it I have had an...

I'm doing the 800 hour transmission service on my 2006 L3430 HST and the manual that came with it shows 4 drain plugs. One on each brake housing, one at the differential and one further forward. I have taken the first 3 out and drained that fluid. There is no regular drain plug further forward...

I just acquired a NH 450 sickle bar mower and have not even hooked it to my Kubota L3430 yet. I'm wondering if it's feasible to add a lift cylinder to it to adjust to the angle that the bar will raise and/or drop to as I will be cutting along a ditch bank. One ditch will require that I have my...

I'm replacing my front, cab mounted work lights with LEDs and plan to mount 2 of the same on the rear of the cab. There aren't any work lights on the rear now, only the orange flashers. The tractor is currently nit here for me to look at so I have a few questions. This is for a 2004 L3430 HSTC...

Anybody here use any crankcase additives for engine heat reduction? The reason I ask is due to the single instance that I was involved in with extreme outdoor temps.... In the summer of 1994 I was working in the Mojave Desert in Arizona. We had a John Deere 850 cable plow that was running at...

Saturday I acquired an old Taylor Way disc plow and it has a steering link for the tail wheel that I'm trying to figure out how to hook up. The manufacturer is out of business and my Google searches haven't found anything, not even a pic of this plow. It appears that the link should hook to a...

Yesterday I changed the engine oil and filter in my newly acquired L3430HSTC and went by the oil capacity as listed in the owners manual....6 quarts. After starting and letting it idle for 10 minutes or so I pulled the dipstick and the level was about 1 quart too full. I started it again and ran...

A blind hog DOES find an acorn every now and then! It's a 2004 L3430HSTC with LA513 and Bush Hog cutter. All garage kept and like new with 459 hours when I loaded it up and took it home. My Yanmar YM3000 in in the background pouting. She don't get much love these days :)

I want to add 3rd function to my LA513 loader on my L3430 HSTC and I'm told that the Kubota brand kit has steel lines that run down the loader arms vs the hoses that most or all aftermarket brands have. Can anyone on here confirm that?

I'm about to spend some money on a new to me tractor. My homeowners wants $600 a year for $20K insurance with a $1K deductible. My auto insurance is with State Farm and they don't do stand alone equipment policies any more. I'm located in north Alabama and looking for reasonable insurance if...

Ok guys, I'm considering my first Kubota and I've found a 2007 L3430 HST 4WD with cab. It has 1200 hours on it and supposedly only used for running a finish mower. Brand new rear Ag tires and front are 80% or better. According to the seller, everything works as it should. In the pics the tractor...

I'm in the market for a new cutter. My old LMC Andy 500 will be left at deer camp and I will replace it with another Lowery cutter. I'm wondering if my YM3000 will run a 6 foot cutter if all I'm cutting is fescue/sage grass and the like that will never be over 2 feet tall. Occasionally I may get...

My throttle on my YM300 has become inoperable and the tractor only runs wide open in a run away state. I have taken the throttle linkage loose from the lever on the injector pump and there is spring tension on the lever from inside the crank case but it does nothing to control engine speed. This...
