If moving the high/low selector into neutral during warm-up stops the rocking then I'd call that a win. It's supposed to be cold enough here in NS tomorrow to give it a try. I've got 2 friends with hydraulic shuttle shift tractors, one is a MF 3645, the other is a 60 series Deere. Neither do...

I may have missed it, but has anyone mentioned a crossover relief valve to prevent over-pressure if you hook the end of the blade? If the pressure in either line exceeds the relief setting it momentarily dumps to the other line, preventing a dangerous situation. Once the pressure goes back to...

We set 2 8ft long 4x4 pressure treated posts 3 feet in the ground. Attach two pieces of 1x4 to the top of each post so it forms a cradle. Cut a piece of 2x4 or 3x4 long enough to straddle the 2 vertical posts. Back the tractor up to the posts so the arch of the boom is directly over the 2...

Well, Al, I suspect your results will be similar to what happened with mine after the "fix". Smooth operation but side effects that may or may not be worse than the original problem. I haven't tried to re-adjust mine since this thread, have just lived with the problem. In retrospect, Jeff's...

Holy smoke, she's ready to pop! For an update on my Carlisle Farm Specialist R1 tires, I'd never recommend buying them outside of a warranty situation. Both of the new front tires now have layers of rubber peeling off them, 9 years and 500 running hours later . They're not holding up well in...

I use a siphon with hand primer from an outboard fuel hose. Set the 5 gallon jug on the hood, run siphon hose from jug to tank, pump it a couple times and it's running. Takes about 3 mins to drain the jug.

I checked mine this morning. At it's longest setting (with inner end properly supported in the draw bar "pocket"), it's just over 14" from the end of pto shaft to the center of the outermost hole in the drawbar. So, mine would work from an L3400. Odd that a larger tractor wouldn't have at least...

Ok I finally found it on mine, it's on the right side of the transmission case under the front edge of the seat. Stamped into a vertical flat machined surface, next to a horizontal control shaft that goes into the right side of the case. Sorry about the picture quality, it's an awful spot to get...

Enough with the snow already, it's supposed to be spring! We've had gale force winds, over 60 mph tonight, and heavy snow all day. Looks like another cleanup day tomorrow. Sean

I dropped in to my Kubota dealer today (they were closed, which makes it a perfect day to walk around and look). I noticed a new model tractor, the L3901. From what I found on Kubota Canada website, it's the replacement for the L3800. Roughly the same horsepower, the frame looks identical. The...

Ok, finally got some pics of the stand. I didn't have the exact right size square tube to use for the outer sleeve, so I welded a cap where it needed to be between the two side supports. Sean

Bucket load ready to go inside. Load of poplar from a few years ago. Not my favourite wood but it was available. Sean

I've often thought the hydraulic filter was in a bad place for accidental damage under the right floorboard. I recently switched to the larger filter from the Grand L series and it's even more of a target for rocks and sticks. A bit of leftover steel and some welder and grinding time and it has...

Yep, -10 C here and windy. Lots of snow and more coming. Tomorrow morning should be interesting. Sean

Looks like we're in for another one, over a foot of snow and high winds forecast for tonight through Wednesday. For those of us lucky enough to have machinery to move it, what does this mean? Seat time! :thumbsup: Sean
