    First Oil Change

    I read the manual and they recommend Kohler Pro 10W-50. So, I started searching and only find Kohler 10W-30. It looks like the Kohler ZT710-ZT740 motors all use the same filter. I find nothing in the manual about a part number for the filter, just that it takes 2 quarts of Pro 10W-50 oil. I...

    Bran New Cub Cadet ZTX5-54 inch

    Just picked it up yesterday. Read the so-called manual. Does not mention what oil to use, I understand there is a special oil for air cooled engines. What is it or will Rotella T4, T5,or T6 work just as well? How about Mobile 1 5-30? How about a number for the oil filter so I can cross...

    M7030 Front Wheel Fluid Leak

    My old M7030 is ozzing oil around the left front wheel (over the winter is leaked a +/- 1/4 pint). I am presuming a seal has failed. I have a shop manual and it doesn't mention replacing a seal. Is this a DIY project or is it a major job? One thing I haven't figures out is the zerk grease...

    Hobby Farmer Tractor Lubricants

    I am the normal hobby farmer. May only use the tractor once a week but then use it for 3-4 hours. Normal use is 500 hours per year. I am concerned about condensation in the crankcase and the hydraulic system from the heating and cooling. Will the use of synthetic(T5) or simi synthetic...

    Female Hydraulic Fitting Won't Lock On the Male Firring

    Almost new tractor and I don't believe the remotes have even been used. Went to hook them up and one female won't accept the male fitting. One works just as it is supposed to but the other one you can't get the male into it far enough for the detent balls to engage. It is definitely that...

    PARTS FOR LANDTRAC

    I am searching for a 45-55 HP tractor with FEL and, hopefully, a power shuttle for durability, new or used <2K hrs. Something like the Kubota M5040 (I have a 7030). In my search I have discovered most of the S. Korean tractors are a conglomeration of other manufactures parts. Some of the...

    Lincoln motor in Mini

    Was told the Mini I was looking at had a Lincoln motor. After research I think they were talking about the hydraulic motor, I couldn't find a Lincoln gas engine. I have only heard of the Briggs or the Chinese Honda knock off. Wondering if the Harbor Freight Predator would fit?

    Transporting Mini

    The mini's are so slow to move 1/4-1/2 mile. What have you fabricated to facilitate moving them? I was thinking a stone boat (sled) or maybe the FEL on my 70 hp tractor. Or maybe a simple trailer. What are the fertile minds using?

    Old Tractor Hydraulics

    My old Kubota 7030 remote hydraulics quit working after a couple of hours and it gets warm/hot. I am sure the pump is tired, but I priced them and looked at replacing. I guess not, almost looks like I may have to remove part of the FEL frame. So, we only use this tractor in the summer. Isn't...

    Too soon old, too late smart!

    My Kubota 7030 with 4K hours is a hard starter. After much experimenting I have found that it I run it at 1000rpm before shutting it off and then don't touch the throttle. A week later I can run the glo plug for 10 or 20 seconds, depending on the weather, and it will start right up on the 2nd...

    Sloppy Loader Control

    M7030 Starting

    Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart

    My new/old 7030 sometimes starts hard. I've thought starter not fast enough, bad battery, bad connections, bad glo plugs. BUT, the last few times I have tried to start the tractor I've left the throttle very low, about 500 rpm's, and it starts right up. Did I stupidly veer into the proper...

    Little "White" smoke when starting

    My 7030 is not the easiest starting. Usually have to grind for 10-15 seconds. I am getting no observed white smoke. My old Allis 6060 would billow white smoke before it started. Do I have something unusual happening? Bill

    Adjusting bottom plows

    After reading the "Draft Control" thread I got to thinking that most, including me, don't know how to properly adjust a bottom plow, especially a 3 bottom. Are there any GOOD videos? I've got an AC 3 bottom 14 inch on my 7030 and it pulls hard and doesn't do a good job! Bill

    Battery Maintainer and De-Sulfator

    Replacing Oil Pressure Indicator

    My M7030 has idiot lights for oil pressure indicator. It doesn't work. I have found the end of the wire and the orifice where it is attached to the tractor. I am presuming it is just a pressure switch. Is there a way i can connect a regular oil pressure gauge to that orifice?

    FEL works off remotes

    I have a Kubota 7030 with FEL. The loader works off one set of remotes, so when using it the three point and the other remotes won't work. Is that normal? In other words there is no way to use the loader and a back blade at the same time.
