    Lost a big pin off my Bush Hog Model 307

    It is about an inch & a quarter in diameter by 12 inches or so long. Have searched w/a metal detector but can't locate it. My Kubota dealer where I bought it wants $125 for a new one. Do I have any other/cheaper options? Thanks for looking.

    Loader  Broken Grease Fittings on FEL

    I have two with the head snapped off on my FEL M7040 and I have bought an "Easy-Out" type gadget at my local Orange hardware store - believe it's called a Grab-It or something but am having no luck extracting the buggers. I need advice and thank you in advance. Dirtrustler

    Changing Coolant - M7040

    My M7040 is 5 years old with 1100 hours. I know the manual calls for changing the coolant every 2 years or so but mine runs normal on the temp gauge all the time and I was just wondering if I should change it anyway? Is regular Prestone as good as any?

    Can't remove Implement drive from my PTO

    Help! I drive a M7040. I had a BushHog 307 Mower attached to my tractor. When I went to take it off. I couldn't compress the collar on the end of the drive that attaches to the PTO.

    Sudden PTO stoppage

    I would like an answer to the following: I have a 4WD M7040 and have 250 hours on it. I do some very heavy shredding with a Mod 307 Bush Hog and occasionally contact a stump or dirt rise that will stop or slow the PTO appreciably. Now, no one needs to tell me that this is not good for my tractor...

    Texas Disc's, Hay King vs Armstrong Ag

    I'm looking at a 2020 model on each. I know Hay King is great but is it worth 25% more than AA? They're both sealed bearings and the AA even weigh's 100lbs more than HK. Anybody out there had experience with a Heavy Duty 3-point from Armstrong AG?...or just in love with Hay King?

    I have a 2006 M7040 4WD and some of the dash advisory lights are not hooked up

    The 4WD indicator and the park brake are the ones I'm aware of. My dealer just told me that my serial number tractor,A6041, does not include having these wired. Anyone else run into this? Dirtrustler.

    Why no 12v receptacle on my M7040?

    Got to be a reason, but I can't think of it - maybe it's obvious and I'm ignorant.

    Replacing a disc blade - Hay King 20-inch

    I broke one off. Now I've got to replace it - an inside blade naturally. It's 1&1/8 inch square shaft. What do I need to know - any helpful tips are appreciated. No one told me not to disc in a turn! Dirtrustler

    Bush Hog Model 307

    I've just purchased one and will be using it for the 1st time in a few days. It is advertised as capable of shredding 3" diameter brush. Can anyone give me their experience with one? I want to shred over some yupon and sweetgum saplings. I have a new Kubota M7040 4WD 68 Hp with a bucket. Can I...
