    L3400HST oil drain plug size.

    Needing to change the oil in the old '3400 tomorrow and need to know the drain plug size so I can pick up a couple of gaskets. The tractor is at my property 30 miles away, and while I think I have some spare crush washers there, I don't want to take the chance. Thanks guys. Edit: It's a 2006 btw.

    l3400 dies soon after start up.

    Full tank of diesel and was bush hogging the rear of the property for the last time this year. 20 minutes in, the rpms start to decline a little and the tractor starts to lose power. I stop and adjust the throttle and the rpms started to go back up, then right back down. After about a 5...

    l3400: 1 or 2 air filters?

    This is a stupid question, but I have a 2006 l3400hst and can't remember if it has a single air filter or an inner an outer. I've been sick and haven't been using my tractor much in the last couple of years, so its been a while since I've changed the filter, but today I noticed I only had 1...

    Somethings burning.

    A couple of weeks ago I switched over to Rotella T, and flushed the radiator. Ever since I've notice a burning smell which seems to be coming from the exhaust. My first thought was I spilled antifreeze on the block, but I don't see any and it doesn't really smell like antifreeze burning. Today...

    Sure Guard Universal Hydraulic Fluid?

    Went to the local kubota dealer to get the filters and fluids for the hydraulic change and the guy at the counter (who has been there forever) talked me into buying Sure Guard instead of the Kubota oil. Nearly 1/2 the price of the Kubota udt, and he said they use and sell a lot of it. So, I said...

    No matter how warm I let her get before dropping the plugs, no matter how long I let her drain, I still can only get 5 quarts in! The manual says 6 qts., but either the manual is wrong or my dipstick is.:mad:

    Problems greasing bh75.

    For whatever reason I can't seem to get any grease into a couple of the pins on my bh75. I replaced the zerks, but still cant squeeze any grease in. I purchased a pneumatic gun and even that isn't strong enough. What am I doing wrong?

    Cleaning a quick coupler.

    I used it to check my psi's, then instead of putting it in a zip-lock, I let it sit on the bench and collect dust/dirt. I need to use it now to replace the leaking one on my backhoe. Is there anything I can soak it in, or should I just blow it with the air compressor? Thanks.

    Cutting tall, wet grass with a bushog.

    I know the best way to dull out you lawn more blades is by cutting wet grass, but what about a bushog's blades? Being that they are blunt to begin with, does cutting when wet hurt the blades in anyway? Should I worry about the bottom of the deck?? Faye just won't go away!:mad: Thanks.

    I removed the hoe tonight for the first time....went real smooth.:rolleyes: Anyway, after reinstalling the 3-pt, what route is the best when attaching the inlet/outlet hydraulic hose? It seems no matter which way I route it, the hose makes contact with the adjustable lift link. I know I'm...

    bh75 leak down time.

    I finally parked my tractor at around 9pm last night. I didn't install the stabilizer pins, didn't think it was necessary. This morning I find that the hoe had completely leaked down overnight. Is this normal?

    Oil & Fuel  Front axle oil. I did something wrong...

    I checked the axle oil and it was at least a full inch below the check hole. I just changed it 25hrs ago, 50 hr mark, with kubota udt, and see no signs of a leak. When I put the udt in I did it slowly to allow it to seep into the hubs, or at least I thought I did. I can't remember if it took...

    There is a L35 tlb GST w/18" bucket & thumb on my local craigslist claiming 156 hrs for $23,500.00. Does that sound about right? I have been planning on forking out the 7k for a woods bh80x, but it seems like I could sell my tractor and with the money for the hoe & another grand or two, I could...

    Oil & Fuel  Hawkline Cutter gear oil

    My cutter came minus the manual...it has a large plug on the side of the gear box about an 1'' or so from the top of the box, and a smaller plug down low..I'm assuming the drain plug. Do I just fill it with the 90w to the point that it is seeping out of the of the large plug on top? I know its...

    DO NOT LOAN OUT YOUR TRACTOR... long

    A good buddy of mine borrowed my tractor today to bush-hog some paths for hunting. Fine..no problem, he's never borrowed it before, but he's mechanically capable and has run equipment before.

    Not counting being real close to any body of water. Just curious. Here, you are looking at 20k at a minimum if its multiple acres.

    Slight hydraulic leak

    I noticed that I am loosing a small amount of fluid at the connector on my fel cylinder. I tried to tighten the connector, and it is as tight as it gets. I think the threads just need to be re-wrapped with teflon tape. Is there a trick to backing out the connector and not loosing any hydraulic...

    Bucket/implement ups or down?

    My owners manual says that when parking that you should lower your loader and implements all the way to the ground. What is the reason for this? I would rather not leave them sitting on the ground if its not necessary. Thanks.

    I screwed up.

    Well I decided to hook up the brush hog today and do a little cutting. Seemed only a bit sluggish, thought it was just the cutter. Turns out had the parking brake on!:eek: I got a total of 2 hours on the machine, and the last hour was with the parking brake on pulling a cutter. So...what...

    Decision time.

    Tomorrow the Kioti dealer will have the ck30 tractor in for me to sit on. It's the only tractor that I have not had the chance to look at in my long search for a 30-35 hp tractor with fel. Even without seeing the Kioti, I have narrowed my choices to it and the kubota l3400. The 'bota has more...

    Price Check  1540 w'fel price check

    Got a quote of 19k for a syncro 1540 with r-4 tires and 1525 fel. He had a 1533 syncro with skid steer loader for 18,500, but I would probably never need to remove the fel. I noticed the 1540 is the same 3 cyl. engine as the 1533, except it is turbo. How have they been holding up? Thanks in...
