kubota l3130

Hello, Tractor ( L3130 GST) where my horse is boarded had the forward nuetral reverse lights go out on the dash. I am guessing that there is a switch under the dash that indicates the position the lever is in. Where would be a good place to look this part up. TIA MaxLee

Hello folks this is my first post on this site, starting off with a thanks to the members as just a search of other posts has helped me tremendously over the years. I have a Kubota L3130 bought slightly used in 2007with 90 hours, has about 2100 hours now. I do a lot of brush clearing and...

Howdy, We have a 2004 Kubota L3130 HST with 1300hrs on it. Been a reliable machine until the last few hours. We have noticed the engine bogging down more and more. The engine bogs similar to when you push too hard on the pedal when its cold or when in too high of gear range, except when its...

I have a 2005 (or so) L3130HST that has been used for a lot of snow removal. Unfortunately that included some road travel on very salted roads. That is no longer a requirement of this tractor, so I'd like to replace the rusted off fenders. OEM are like $1300 each. Doesn't seem to make sense...

Hello, I need the p/n for Kubota L3130/L3430 break light switch. Please see the attached picture. Thank you

The work light on my L3130DT stopped 'working'. There's no power at the connector. I checked the fuse (top left) labelled "work light". The fuse was good, but when I pulled it, by console went off. That was odd, so I check the fuse label console. That fuse was also good. The work light...

I've an L3130, bought new back in 2005. It's been an awesome piece of equipment, but with a new piece of property acquired recently I'm considering an upgrade. The lack of power was not a huge issue on our relatively flat 5 acres, but we now have 40 acres of timberland in the PNW, and the...

My friend was shredding yesterday and the wiring pigtail connector was caught on a large stick and ripped out of the 3 pin connector. i know according to the wiring diagram the orange signal wire is in the middle but not sure about the config for the black with white stripe and the red with...

9 years ago i sold a friend my L3130 when i go the 5240 w/cab. I warned him that I thought the PTO clutch was slipping a bit based on what i saw when using my logging winch. He wasn't too worried about it. Fast forward to now and after several years of him using a chipper on it, the clutch...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to be 100% safe with my 4wd..can someone confirm that these are the proper tires for my tractor. Kubota L3130 Front : 27 x 10.5 - 15 Rear : 44 x 18 x R20 Thanks a bunch

Hello everyone, I just installed a block heater in my L3130. For some reason, my coolant reservoir does not have a line coming out of the bottom...just an empty nipple. The radiator has two big lines (one on top/one on bottom)...a small line from the radiator cap which goes to the reservoir...

Bought my L3130 brand new 15 years ago and it has been flawless up until today. Was out moving some brush piles around in FWD when suddenly I hear some grinding and a pop from the LF wheel and oil came running out of the hub. Any ideas what blew? Depending on what it is I will decide whether or...

I believe the OPC is the source of my random engine shutdown. There are four leads red, black, yellow and red/white. Can anyone shed light on which are the input wires and which are the output?

Spewing oil out of the O-ring or seal. If you zoom in on the pic, it appears part of it is missing. Perhaps it dry rotted??? I need some guidance on replacing or repairing it please. Is it as simple as removing the pto cable and the three bolts? Thanks, Bucky

Will a Land Pride flail mower FM2572 be too much for a Kubota L3130 with 25.8 HP at the PTO? One dealer said don’t do it, tractor can’t handle the heavy duty LP model. My local dealer said it’s no problem, will work just fine. I’d really like a six foot. Would a medium duty six foot model be any...

Hello everyone, I bought my first tractor over the winter (2004 L3130 Manual 4x4 - 2k hours). Seems like I might have made a bad choice. I just found out that my serial falls into the tractors affected by PSB 2004-055. I attached the bulletin. Apparently when operating the backhoe (BH90 for...

Hello tractorbynet, I have the front axle hub apart on my L3130 (4x4). I want to replace the seal that goes between the hub (part with lug nuts) and gear/knuckle housing. The part # is 34070-13370...I attached a diagram, it is 060 or 180 on it. It is basically two parts...an outer rubber seal...

I'm rebuilding both front axle knuckles right now. Figured I would research this topic before I put it all together. Seems like a lot of people support the idea, and of course some say it would have come from the factory that way if it was suppose to have it. So, I'm on the fence a bit but...

Hello everyone, Just picked up a used L3130 with 2k hours on it. It's been running dino oil it's entire life. I've been taught that switching from dino to synthetic so late in life is not the best (prone to leaking) but I would be glad to hear conflicting opinions. I was planning on buying...

Hello everyone, I tore down both front knuckles on my Kubota L3130 (2k hours). Both front bearings were shot. I was amazed how little damage there was. The bottom bevel gear (TD030-13200) sustained almost all the damage. Do you mind taking a look at the picture and telling me what you think...

Hello everyone, I just bought this tractor. It is completely new to me. It had a leaking seal so first thing I did was pulled off the front knuckles. When draining the fluid it had a fair amount of flakes in it. All were every small. I just wanted to get some advise on how to handle this...

I am borrowing my father in laws tractor and I have to push clutch in when I move from forward to N to reverse and back. My mom's M7040 does not need clutch in, just shift and go! Is it supposed to work this way? It is a manual transmission fyi. I tried Googling an adjustment but thought I...

Just turned over 1000 hours on my 2006 L3130 HST Grand. I purchased the tractor new. I have to say that I am extremely impressed how well this machine has held up. I have had absolutely no mechanical issues in the past 15 years. Just fluids, filters, and grease. It still has the original battery...

I have a 2005 Kubota L3130 I think the clutch might be going out on it. I have been using the tractor and pressed in the clutch peddle and it felt like nothing was there. Help, please Thank You

Hello everyone, Willing to drive to pick up new tires for my L3130. I currently have R4s. I'm happy to keep them but would also be willing to do others. If anyone has any or if they know a place to get them at a good value I would appreciate it. -J

It's leaking at the seal where the drive shaft goes into the differential. I see how to take the shaft out (pinned couplers) that's easy. but it surely appears that the whole axle has to come off to get to the seal. The repair manual is clear as mud. Thanks for any help.

So my trusty L3130 failed me last night. It started up and ran for a few seconds then quit and would not restart. Today it started and ran then would not start again after shutting it off. So I did a little tshooting today and discovered it only starts and run while the igniters are on. Soon as...

I have a Kubota L3130 and will be adding rear remotes to it soon. I haven't decided yet if I'm going with the Kubota kit or a DIY setup. I'm leaning towards the Kubota setup for the clean installation and placement of the levers next to the seat; however, I want to explore all my options...

had a squirrel chew the wire connecting the coolant temperature sensor to the intellipanel and of course the gauge shows no temperature. anyone have an idea where i might find a replacement connector with leads or a 3rd party sensor/connector with leads? kubota has no oem parts for this...

Gotta buddy looking at a used L3130 4x4 gear drive I think its the 8 spd and not a 12. Any know issues with this model ?

The fuel gauge on my L3130 has quit working. It reads empty all the time. It looks like it shares a circuit with other gauges, which are working fine. Before I pull the sender, is it common to for a sender to go bad?

Greetings all! I have a L3130 (513 loader, so limited lift capacity), and have decided that I need a grapple (and SSQA), along with some pallet forks to get some work done. I stopped in at my local dealer this afternoon and was given the following: Third function kit - $1100 installed ATI...

I bought this tractor used about 3 years ago. Changed out all fluids and filters, fuel filter and air filters and have used it for driveway grading and snow removal without any issue. I Have only put 54 hours on it since I bought it, it is at 2,089 currently. I used it a few days in a row last...

For Sale *NEW* Kubota - L3130HST This is a pre-estate sale of a brand new Kubota L3130HST tractor that was never put into service; it currently has 1.8 hours on it (probably closer to 3.5 hours, once it gets moved to my home) and was never put into service. This has never seen rain, never...

It's time to replace the tires on my Kubota L3130. I'm not sure which way to go on tire sizing, could use some advice. The tractor was purchased used four years ago and came with the following size tires (now worn out): Front: 10-16.5 Rear: 16.9-24 These seem quite wide to me, and the rims...

Yesterday when I engaged the PTO it came on but the display said PTO off. The display would not show he revolution per minute. I have the service manual spent some time reading and I may try the trouble shooting of the display. My question is could it be the wiring that feeds the electronic...

I am looking for a source for the part that would fit over the FEL cylinder rod when loader is raised to hold it up for safety when working under the hood and also when storing for winter so FEL can't come down. I have heard of "U shaped pieces" that fit over the cylinder rod but don't know of a...

Hello all, This is my first post so please let me know if I miss something :). A few weeks ago a friend was using my 2007 Kubota tractor and called saying it quit running. While troubleshooting the problem I noticed the crank pulley was not turning when the starter was cranking. After...

Hi! I am a virgin to tractors. I did not grow up around them nor use them. I am a good with my hands though and do the maintenance work on my cars... I have also diagnosed too many odd stuff on my cars (I love the Internet and car forums) that I want to admit... I like to troubleshoot things and...

Hi, I have been wanting a tractor since we bought our house and 7 acres last year. I’ve enjoyed reading this forum and have much to learn. I found a 2004 L3130 HST 4x4 with low hours (264)and I will be going to see it on Saturday. I have never owned a tractor and need some pointers. First...

I just purchased this tractor this fall and have completed full maintenance of all fluids and filters. Brutal cold lately here and this 2003 l3130 had either the original battery or a Kubota replacement. Been starting hard so I decided to get new battery. After reading a post here about...

Tractor is in good shape , seller asking 18000. Thanks

Hi guys, When I turn the key on, I get full lights and flashers. The battery is original but has a green light. When I turn the key to start I get a fast clicking noise. I am guessing it's the starter? Thanks for any help. RPK

Needing to dig up bamboo. I was thinking about the harbor freight towable backhoe, but then why not just get an attachment for my daddy's tractor?

HI all, I have a 2003 Kubota L3130 with a BH90 backhoe. I am looking to buy a mechanical thumb for the backhoe that will bolt on or weld on (preferred). I have looked online and some use the top portion of the top link for adjustment (I believe this offers unlimited adjustment) and some use pins...

My trusty L3130 HST Kub is now in its twelve year, bought in 2005, the very year I joined Tractorbynet. I joined for the same reason Im posting this, to get some solid advice. The Kubota has been phenomenally reliable. However, its exhibiting some discontent when I go into reverse when...

I am replacing the engine on my L3130, and before I install the engine I was told to also replace the HST transmission front seal, the seal that is on the shaft entering the engine. Yeah, I guess I could have worded that better. So, after loosening the 5 or 6 bolts on the "seal block", oil...

My manual advises use of UDT, UDT2 or GL-4 transmission oil. GL-4 oils vary considerably in viscosity. I'm coastal BC, similar climate to Seattle, so what viscosity would be appropriate?

HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD KUBOTA L3130. NEEDS A NEW BATTERY. i'M NOT SURE HOW TO REMOVE IT. IT'S IN THE FRONT,BUT SEEMS ALL PINNED IN BY EVERYTHING AROUND AND ABOVE IT.

My L3130 stopped dead today in the middle of dumping a bucket of dirt. No warning , just stopped. I have a mid PTO light lit on the intelli dash but I don't have a mid PTO. Dash also reads HST neutral. It won't allow starter to engage. Any ideas about what to look for?

I have owned my L3130 for 7 years and never had any problems with it. I went a month without using it and my troubles began. It would start but wouldn't stay running. I put a new fuel filter and air filter on it and bled the injector lines and it started fine. If you turn it off you have to...

I looking at a l3130 with a regular trany and a small peddle on the right side of the operator platform that I think is a forward - reverser . By reading the form here is do not think I want a HST or GST trany thanks

Greetings, new to the forum and looking to get my first tractor. Whatever I get will be used for some food plots, road & ditch maintenance, trail work, etc. If I'm honest, I'm guessing 30-50 hours of use a year. I decided that 4WD, HST or similar, FEL and hoe were all must haves, and I've...

First post to the site, every google search I entered sent me here so I figured I'd go straight to the source! I've got a 2004 L3130 with a LA513 front end loader, and here recently I've had to replace one curling cylinder and one lifting cylinder seals. I didn't think to save the packages from...

Finalizing search for 4WD with 72" mower. Have found 2 units. One is a B7800 with R4's about 1050hrs, hydro and 72" mower looks to be about a 8 of 10 condition. Other is a L3130 4WD with 1750 hours, hydro, turfs and 72" deck. Also looks to be 8 of 10 in condition. Both are about $8500. Most work...

My Kubota calls for 6.5 litres of hydrolic fluid in the front axle. I put in 5.5 litres. I opened the overflow bolt and 2 litres drained out. Why can I not get 6.5 litres in the axle? Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

my manual states 6.5 litres but the axle does not hold this amount. I have a filler opening on the top left side, one over flow opening about half way up the axle on the left side and two lower openings to drain the old fluid ,one on each side. I have tried by putting 5 litres into the top...

I recently had to rerun wires because of a short, wires were burnt up. When I took seat off i didn't unplug seat safety switch so wires from plug on seat came out of plug. Wires coming from seat are: black with red dots blue...

I have a kubota l3130 that keeps blowing the 7.5amp alternator fuse when I turn key to acc position.

I started my L3130 Kubota tractor this morning. It started and ran fine. About 12 degrees here. Then moved it about 100 feet and shut if off. After 15 minutes I tried to start it. It won't turn over. Battery is not dead. Tractor is in Neutral with light on dash. I hear the loud click...

Have L3130 HST with 1200+ hours on it. Been extremely satisfied with it since new. Have issue with three point hitch after complete fluid and filter change. Hitch will not go up until engine rpm is 2500+ rpm. Then it's slow. UDT is within the dipstick marks. With the service, I changed the...

Hello Just looking to see other opinion on pricing a used L3130 with FEL 700hrs Looks like very good condition Thank you

Long time lurker, first time posting! I have a L 3130 Kubota with front end loader and have been jonesin' for a back hoe attachment. Seems like the consensus here is to avoid a straight three point hitch attachment. I have found a Woods model 7500 for sale that has a frame attachment and PTO...

I want to make a log splitter for the FEL on my kubota L3130. I need help plumbing into the loader hydraulics. Can I tee into the PB port on the accessory block that the loader uses or do I need to go into the high pressure port? Then I assume I tee into the return port also. The accessory block...

I went to move my tractor out of the barn. Everything was fine until I tried to put it in gear. I pushed the clutch petal in as normal but the tractor would not go into forward or reverse. I shut the tractor off and tried it, It felt like it went into gear either way. I tried again with it...

I started my L3130 to move it out of the barn, everything was fine until I tried to get it into gear. It would not shift into gear with the engine running. First problem I have had in since 2005. The clutch petal seems normal. The rod that goes thru the floorboard does not move when clutch...

I'm new to the site and also a new home owner with 11 acres. I have also just bought a Kubota L3130 and wonder what your guys thoughts are on this tractor for the size of land I have? thanks

I have a L3130 tractor I borrowed from a friend, last June and still have. Since I have had it so long, and put 35 hours or so on it, I figure it is only right I take care of any service it needs. When it rolled 150 hours, the LED lit up with some kind of service check. I don't remember the...

Howdy While on my long tractor hunt, I have borrowed a tractor from a friend, and fairly nice L3130. I am pretty sure I ran it out of fuel, the gauge could be a little more accurate. As soon as it stumbled I shut it off, but the damage was done. Put some more fuel in, but it wont start. I...

Actually, not so much a wiring diagram as information from someone who has done this: I am getting ready to install 3 27W LED flood lights (two forward, one reverse) on my L3130, and I can figure out how to wire it, but... I notice a spare fuse location on the fuse block, #6 I think, and...

Hi all, I'm helping my dad sell his '03 L3130 HST with LA723 loader & BH90 backhoe. The tractor has 290 hours on it and has been regularly maintained by our local Kubota dealer here in Manassas, VA. I'm wondering what we might expect to fetch for something like this... I know the hours are...

Looking at the purchase of a Muratori MZ6 185 Rotary Tiller. It's listed as "medium duty" and at 74" wide it will cover the tracks of both our L3130 and M7040.

I am relatively new to TBN.....hope someone can give me the ground speeds specs on a L3130 GST 12 speed. I'm hoping 1st gear is low enough to work as a creeper gear for transplanting vegetables. Thanks! Tom

Went down to dig a ditch for my neighbor today. No good deed goes unpunished. I had to drive down a steep bank to get to the ditch. He suggested I to drag my backhoe bucket to keep from slipping in the mud. So I was in the number 1 gear creeping down this bank and my backhoe slid in the mud...

Couple of days ago I snapped off the little nipple on the bottom tank. Given that a new radiator is $438, I got to thinking of alternative repair methods. Current thought is to tap the hole left where the nipple broke off and epoxy a 3/8nptX1/2 nipple into place. Is the lower tank material thick...

I have a 2003 L3130 TLB with 1950 hours. Both front axle seals started leaking oil. I removed the oil check plug and air rushed out, it was under pressure. I followed the rubber vent hose from the axle and the other end was mounted to the engine coolant reservoir. This sounds crazy, so I double...

Maybe a broad question, but I figured I'd get the best advice here. I had a neighbor cut a small hay meadow for the first time this year. He says it has good potential, but needs to be smoothed up some. I've got a Kubota L3130 HST that I use to mow and do general chores with, but its probably...

what 3pth self contained backhoe would you recommend by size for a L3130 ?

Has anyone had experience with a 3-point snowblower for aKubota L3130 (32 HP/25 PTO HP) or similar size tractor. I am looking at a Landpride 64" model that seems to be rated for the 25HP PTO rating of my tractor. But, since my tractor is over 68" wide, I would be driving over the edges of the...

Hi all, got the tractor warmed up after work and as soon as I touch hydro pedal I hear a click and engine dies, if I get it back to the neutral position fast enough it will re rev. Loader and 3 pt working fine, any ideas? Need to plow in am so I can get to work to plow! Seems like some sort of...

So, I got my L3130 delivered and the service light is on. It was on yesterday and the guy showed me how to press the two buttons to reset it and it went off. Back on today though. Does the light on these tractors indicate a problem like a CEL on a car does or is it just a service reminder?

I have always left the backhoe on, but have a need to use the tractor without and thus need some rear ballast. Neither the FEL Operating Manual or Assembly Manual details the recommended weight when using a 3-pt ballast box. I have the opportunity to buy a used JD ballast box (with extensions)...

I am tying to sell a Shaver post driver to a guy that has an L3130 with a backhoe and hydrostatic transmission. I was telling him it is best to have the return line form the post driver to go directly to his sump and not through the hydraulic system. His plan is to hook it to the backhoe...

On the L3130, does the brake warning lamp tell you when the brakes FAIL? Or does it tell you when the parking brakes are ON? I have a sneaking suspesion that warning lamp is for when they fail, which is a bummer because I have a terrible track record of remembering to take off the brakes...
