maintenance

Hi there, I just purchased a Mahindra 3510 3 days ago. I feel I got it at a great deal for $7000 with 1100 hrs on it. The machine is faded almost pink and not a show stopper but who cares on cosmetics! Anyways..I have a few questions I was hoping I could get assistance with. 1. It didn’t...

Hey all! STILL doing transmission exchanges to get last of water out. This time, the trans filter (Kubota brand) had failed. The inner perforated tube had collapsed into the center, folding a bit and pulling a glue line off the filter 'top' (with the threads). Bad part, bad tractor? Changed...

Hey gang, I am a first-time tractor owner and I need some advice. I am the first owner of a 2022 New Holland workmaster 75 with front-end loader (no cab, just ROPS, and a canopy). This is the first tractor that I have been responsible for repairs and maintenance on and I ran into some trouble...

I have looked online with many searches, and even tried here on this sight with no luck. I have an 1840M I purchased new in 2021 or 22. I am looking for the maintenance schedule to print and keep in the barn. My owners manual is packed away for an upcoming move and I won't see it for a few...

Hello, I’ve seemed to have misplaced my manual for my tractor. I specifically need the electrical diagrams as I’m doing some requiring. Anybody know if there is a place I can download this as I’m having no luck at all finishing anything online. Thanks Cory Actually never mind I found it!

Not sure if this is the right place or not but here goes: How do you store your air compressor when not in use if you don't have an automatic drain valve? Until very recently I've always made due with the small portable contractor pancake compressors and when done utilizing them...

We been looking at a compact tractors for trail clearing and yard maintenance and one fellow said "just get a skid steer". This was parked at a camp site we stay at over the weekend. Its drive sprocket and tracks sure looked shot to me.

So the service manual for DK4210 appears to say to replace the transmission fluid filter, but NOT the fluid itself at 50 hours, in fact it seems to say you don't have to change the fluid until 400 hours? Seems like a long time.

I've got six smaller culverts (10-12") and four larger ones (eyeballing them at 3-4ft) on my property. They are all clear, but I was thinking about putting some galvanized chain through them and anchoring it at both ends with some rebar. The idea being that if it gets jammed up, I can pull a...

I had a dealer pick up my 1999 L3710 HST for its 800 hr service yesterday. In addition to fluids/filters I'm having 9 original hydraulic loader hoses replaced. They're going to quote replacing the seat too. They couldn't give me a $ amount for a standard 800 hr service visit on that tractor...

I have a CT20235. I am looking at the "Operations and Maintenance Manual", and a copy of the "Service Manual". The maintenance schedule is different, especially for oil changes. This is from page 187 of the Operators Manual. This is page 134 of the Operators manual This is page 2-25 of the...

I am trying to keep the dirt roads on hunting lease passable. It is leased timber land so am limited to the roads the company put in. Most roads have very little crown, and am restricted to using runoff points the owner has put in. Suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi everyone I've got a RK24 (2019) and was performing service and repairs. One part I needed to replace was the little silver box where the control stick screws in. The metal leverage tab/pivot broke. I removed the hoses and marked the uncolored ones. Put the new part on and fired it up...

I’m looking for a kit that includes oil, spark plug, and filters for my Z930. Although I’m early, I figure I better get one so I am prepared. Thanks!

We are new owners to a 2023 CT2040 but were not given any manuals. Is this normal? We have many cars and other vehicles and all had these, but not our Bobcat. Can anyone help us with this please? Thanks.

New to TBN as well as to Tractor life. Happy to be here. I'm shopping/researching a grader blade or box blade - are these the same? - for maintaining and repairing a muddy driveway with a Kubota 3200. plus lots of loads of gravel. The market seems to be filled with different brands. Just...

I know this is a relatively easy manual lookup stuff but you guys are always way more helpful. KIOTI NS 4710 - about 11 hours 1. I need to get a grease gun and do the fittings I suppose? Do I typically need a special fitting or are they pretty much standard. Can you over grease? Does any grease...

We had a new road cut and 3/4 crushed rock laid - about 500 feet and 10-15% grade. We also have another driveway (800') I maintain with my grader blade (nice crown there). Anyway, for the new road, I have used my box blade and grader to spread the crushed rock, but not ideal - doable, but I am...

Finally got rid of the skidsteer to switch to a tractor for chores around the homestead. I have previously owned a 1960s Allis Chalmers, but this is my first "modern" tractor. The Montana only has 292 hours on it, but the buddy I bought it from got it on trade for another piece of equipment so...

Small TLB here with a few implements that have bearings such as a pto snowblower, pto chipper. I've just used the same grease all around until now - but it's been nagging me and I doubt my lithium/moly grease correct for the "fast" or "spinning" interfaces. For the loader, BH, grapple, etc -...

I have a John Deere 4200. The manual says I'm supposed to grease the "upper brake pivot tubes" every 50 hours, but I'm not sure how to do that (sorry, newbie question). The manual does not give any instructions, nor do I see a grease fitting or any obvious way to grease what I think the...

First time changing my oil in my CT2025 and want to make sure I get it right. Does 3 quarts of 10W30 sound on par? Also anyone know the filter part #

Hey, folks. Just got my first tractor, an MX6000 ROPS with a canopy. Due to supply issues I got it by surprise. I hadn't expected it til spring so I got caught with my pants down on storage. I plan to use the thing all Winter but being in Vermont that means my operator's station is already...

My DK45S is due for 800 hour service. I'm able to change fluids and filters myself, but the owners manual states the engine valve clearance should be adjusted at 800 hours and that I should consult my dealer. Adjusting the valves is beyond my DYI skills. I bought the tractor new in 2008 and it's...
