I have a Kubota L4330 and it's a workhorse.

I brought home an old Dearborn 10-156 Economy 2-Bottom Plow from the auction a couple weeks ago complete with the original manual (which is very informative). It works just fine for something made that many years ago and doesn't look half bad.

Is the factory black color around the floor area for the Vintage YM USA model tractors more a flat or matte black color? It appears to be a flat black but someone keeps insisting on matte black which looks more like a dark grayish color to me. Thanks.

There are other reasons you may have a push button to start the tractor when in the "on" position. Over the years some wires degrade/voltage drops and you have to in essence "jump" the wire that word normally supply the voltage needed to the solenoid. When this insufficient voltage occurs, some...

It looks great. The colors most likely to fade are yellows, reds, and oranges. From your signature line, it looks like you have your work cut out for you keeping up with fading paints.

Some of us aren't adept at 3D printing, to say the least.

Here is the photo of the fuse box.

I am missing fuse box covers on the Yanmar tractors. Do any of you have ideas for replacing the clear plastic part that covers the fuses? Thanks.

I own both Kubota and Yanmar tractors. Kubota and Yanmar tractors possess the same level of quality with a slight edge tipping toward Yanmar. Yanmar developed the Power Shift transmission decades ago and it predated its time. Yanmar manufactured compact John Deere tractors for many years. That...

Congratulations. It looks like your new Kubota came with new attachments as well.

Reviving an old thread instead of starting a new thread, but I am in the midst of seriously considering a flail mower instead of a finish mower for the Kubota L4330. I am searching for a 72" to 84" pre-owned medium to heavy-duty model. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks. I forgot to include the o'rings when placing an order with Hoye and don't want to pay UPS to send two o-rings.

Does anyone know the size of the O-Ring, Yanmar part 24341-000200, that fits on the left and right brake levers? I am in the process of changing the brakes on the second YM276D and have all the o-rings sorted by size in the drawers. It looks thin, like 1.5 mm perhaps.

The elderly barber who cuts my hair has a saying, "You don't want to be the cheapest barber." He will explain that the "cheapest barber" gets the "cheapest and most problematic customers." The cheapest barber also has to deal with all the drama people wanting rock bottom prices for everything...

Here is a wiring diagram for a generic old Yanmar. Assuming the wiring is original, the wire you are looking for is a WHITE wire with a RED stripe (thick ten gauge). The WHITE wire with a RED stripe begins at the starter solenoid and shares the same post as the POSITIVE battery cable. 1. First...
