    Old 35 clutch release fork parts help

    I am fixing a late 50's 35 for a neighbour; he buggered up the clutch after splitting the tractor and it ate the release fingers, release bearing, bearing carrier and the release forks. I have sourced replacement parts except for the release fork (that attaches to the clutch pedal). The...

    Home built cab

    I have been wanting a cab for my tractor since before I bought it. I didn't want to spend extra bucks to get one at the time - I would have to move up to a bigger machine so the cost would have been significant. I referenced many builds on this site for ideas and in particular a build by "life...

    Grapple  Homemade Grapple with pics and video

    I finally joined youtube and was able to post video so I thought I would post some details of my grapple now. The pics and video are a year old... This grapple works very well for brush. I installed it on my pallet forks, very light weight (probably seventy pounds total), and it is operated...

    Paddle or drum style mixer for concrete?

    I have been debating buying or building a cement mixer. One of the options I am considering is to build one that fits in place of my loader bucket (SS QA) and uses remote hydraulics to mix. If I was to build a mixer it would be much easier to build a paddle "mortar" mixer than a drum. Does...

    2001 King Quad 300 service manual

    I just bought this machine in very good condition; I really like that it is a low HP machine, light weight and lots of low gear:thumbsup:. Does anyone have or know of a source for a service manual for this? I would really like a pdf but hard copy is fine. I found one dealer selling them...

    Kubota and Woods hoe problem

    I was asked for advice on a problem with a small Kubota with a Woods backhoe. I have not seen the machine, only had the symptoms described. The symptoms don稚 make sense to me so I thought I would ask for input here. Machine: small Kubota sounds like a B series with a Woods backhoe. Backhoe...

    Not happy with 3940 starting

    I am having problems with my 3940 not starting well when cold (i.e. room temperature). I have to crank it for minimum 4 seconds or longer before it fires; if I crank it for 4 seconds, pause, then crank again it will start immediately. I have checked the glow plugs and fuel supply and...

    Flex drag links for L3400 - Use B3030?

    I want to put flexible drag links on a L3400 and I heard that the B3030 has them. Does anyone know if the B3030 part will fit an L3400? I know there are aftermarket options (Pat's) but it would be nicer not to use an add-on.

    Tractor side SS quick attach build

    I have been working on this for a while and recently started the actual fabrication work. I have a Montana with their style of QA (sliding pins) and it works ok but I find that it makes a sloppy connection. It's also not compatable with any others. My dad also recently purchased a 'bota L3400...

    Oil & Fuel  Montana gets best fuel efficiency

    Well maybe not. I got the service manual for my 3940HST and in the fluid/lubricant schedule it list the fuel tank at 40L with a rated "hours of work" at 400 hrs.:eek: There must be something wrong with my machine because it uses a lot more fuel than that!:rolleyes:

    Second class tractor member?

    My Montana feels a little slighted ;) because it is listed under "brand specific forums" while the Kubota, JD, NH, etc are listed separately. These are also 'Brand specific' - shouldn't they fall under the same category? Maybe the 'brand specific' should be renamed 'second class tractors'?:D...

    Valve choice for L3400HST rear remotes

    I am putting rear remotes on an L3400 HST and I have a question regarding the control valve choice. From reading here I see that most recommend a Prince valve with a tank return port (has inlet, outlet and tank ports) like this one...

    3940HST service manual?

    My dealer has informed me that a service manual is not available for this tractor (I see from other threads here that many models do not). Is there one available? I am picky about maintenance and the user manual leaves a lot to be desired:) . I have downloaded the service manual for the engine...
