I did a search but didn't find the problem I'm having with a M7040HD-1. When turning on the ignition, the dash warning lights are fine but the center rectangle (with the hours etc.) is very dim and unreadable. When the key is turned to the start position the starter tries to turn over but...

Quite some time ago I indicated that I'd post my homemade BX2200 fan protector at the next hydraulic change. Instead of searching for the very old thread, here is a new one. In fact, I'm not sure this is the website. (This info will be copied/pasted to the other forum that I visit.) The device...

Boy, going through the posts and searching the Internet sure has conflicting advice on using 7018 for cast iron! An old Mott flail mower that I sold to my neighbor had a Zerk guard on the roller snap at the single mounting hole. It is about 6" long and 2" wide. The break looks to be the...

Did a search but came up with nothing. How does one delete photos from the "Manage Attachments" files. Some are old and outdated and I'd like to clean them out so I don't have to go through pages and pages of "now where is that photo I need" issues. Is it even possible? Thanks.

Just came from the local garbage company's oil recycling site. Had 30 gallons of oil in 5 gallon containers. They rejected two of the containers that were filled with hydraulic fluid. One guy said that it was "too clean". The person in charge called the office and asked about transmission...

2002 Kubota L48 Backhoe Only $7 900 | eBay

Does anyone know the grease fitting size for a Kubota Zerk? The research I've done indicates it is 8MM x 1.25 but would like verification. Also, is the size universal across the Kubota line? My three tractors (M7040, L48, BX2200) and a neighbor's L5240 all need a zerk or two (or three)...

Interesting reading about the recent roofing thread in SF Bay Area. My place is about 90 miles away. Anyway... The house is 35 years old and has a concrete tile roof. There is no underlayment, nothing between the tiles and the sheetrock ceiling except insulation. You can look up and see...

My wife finds the OEM seat on the BX2200 uncomfortable for her back condition. The vinyl has also begun to crack and deteriorate. A new one might make a good holiday gift. So I'm looking for the Kubota brand improved seat for BX models, and maybe B models, that is supposed to be more...

After hijacking a different thread I thought that a new thread on the subject would be prudent. Attached are photos of what I believe is a home-made land leveler that was purchased for $50 from eBay. It is operated by attaching to a standard drawbar on the 3PH of a 70 HP tractor. The amount of...

Motivated by another thread on TBN, how would one go about welding this tie rod attachment point back together? Is replacement the preferred option?

Anyone know what happened to OTT (Orange Tractor Talk)? The site has been shut down for a couple of days now.

A friend has a L3650 and the clutch seems to be slipping from his description. It has 1200 hrs and the clutch has never been touched. He said that he checked the WSM and it had all of the parts, etc. but no specific instructions on how to adjust the clutch. Does anyone have a diagram or method...

Just did the BX2200 steering hoses after one split and puked hydraulic oil. Replaced the two to the rear. After searching TBN there was some help but more information is needed. >The pair of hoses to the rear cost $180 at the local Napa. They made them from scratch. >The originals are single...

Does anyone own a Howse rotary cutter mower model 8100C or 8102C? ("2" is dual wheel and "C" just means chains). My dealer says his book shows that it is a dual blade/3 gearbox and costs $4000+. I had him double check it. $4K seem like a bit much for a single gearbox but three may justify the...

Everlast Power Plasma 70 quick review. December 2010. The unit arrived two business days after ordered. The box and contents were immaculate. Nothing out of place, no damage. It is a fairly heavy. I'd guess around 60 - 70 pounds. No shoulder carry strap on this machine. It makes the PowerArc...

Need a stick farm welder with at least 200A DC, 220V, for repairs, fabrication, hardfacing. The Lincoln AC/DC 240/120A just won't run 3/16" Stoody 31 hardface rod very well on DC. Don't need TIG or MIG for what is done around here. Don't like to buy used. Looking at: 1. Lincoln Idealarc 250...

OK, my first post on this problem died a "zero reply" death so maybe this basic question will get somewhere.:p For those M owners with a "hydraulic shuttle shift", does the tractor move a bit when the lever is shifted into F or R while the transmission (gear shift) is in neutral? My M7040...

There is a lot of good knowledge on TBN about the hydraulic clutch system (hydraulic synchro shuttle) but nothing about a particular issue my M7040 is experiencing. When manually using the clutch pedal for slipping the clutch the clutch will all of a sudden grab and engage with a jerk. Is there...

A difference of opinion has been raised about how hour meters record the hours. Is it: (A) actual clock hours that the engine is running or is it (B) based on a hours at a certain RPM called a Tach Timer? Could there be a (C)? In the RPM/Tach Timer logging situation, for example, if 3000...

Searched, read, searched some more and have come up empty. Just bought a Ford 101, 14", 3-bottom plow that needs parts. Moldboard stamped 104409. Specifically, shares (points) and shins are needed. Found LH shins at Agri Supply but don't know the difference between LH and RH. If it is the...

The guy I sold my L3650 to 4 months ago called today to say the right front steering knuckle had snapped off where rod attaches to the housing. In looking at it, there was a clean break where the bolt on the rod attaches to the hub. It will cost $1200 to fix. I don't recall hitting the tire or...

Well, my wife tried out the FEL on the L48 and now wants one for "her" BX2200. I have searched this forum, Googled, and Binged coming up with the following as possibilities. Koyker 120 Woods LS72 Kubota LA211 The LA211 seems to always be attached to something and Kubota doesn't make them...

My L48, purchased w/1100 hours on it, seems to have hydraulic issues and I'd like some feedback from those more experienced with the model and with hydraulics. 1. Overnight, the BH main lift arm will leak down so the bucket sits on the ground in the morning. The dealer says it is normal and...
