    L3400 Battery size

    And the correct battery for the 2007 Kubota L3400HST is..................................................group 24. Funny part is, I went and pulled the old battery out, and noticed it had one of those eyes to look in. It showed green. Ended up with a Deka.

    L3400 Battery size

    I read that the difference between a 24, a 24F, the F is a flat top and the 24R was reverse polarity. I don't remember a flat top....of course I don't remember lots of things anymore.

    I want to get a new battery for my L3400HST. I can't seem to find a definite answer as to size and the tractor is 60 miles away. Most charts say Group 24 but a few say 24F.

    Spin Down water filters

    The water well at our cabin property is marginal at best. It tests very good for iron, hardness and so forth but since it's use is only on the weekends, it puts out a lot of sand/silt. It makes the water tea colored. Sometimes if we use alot of water in a short time, I can run it out of water...

    Got a bad S&W 38

    Just had a disappointing experiance with my new S&W Bodyguard 38. I have always carried IWB in a Milt Sparks VM2 with the kydex clips so I could tuck in my shirt over it. Well in the summer heat, it can get a little hot and sticky where the holster rides aginst my skin. In talking to a guy at...

    Proposed pipeline serveyed

    My cabin property is in Harrison County Ohio and as some may know, is a hotbed of oil and gas activity as of late, primarily the Utica shale play. A few weeks ago a guy contacted me and asked permission to do a servey study of a proposed 30" gas line. The plan is to parallel the existing power...

    Dunham cultipacker

    At last I found a nice cultipacker. :thumbsup: It's a 10' Dunham double roller in pretty good shape. Going to pick it up tomorrow night and take it to my cabin property. Since I have no trailer, a buddy said I could use his as long as it gets returned by Thursday. My worry at this point is...

    Lost a JD 1240 planter part

    I hope some one can help out a dummy. I have a 2 row John Deere planter, cut down model 1240, and lost a part. ( Well actually 2 ). The part goes on the rear press wheel adjustment linkage and is used to adjust the planting depth. It is about 1 1/2" long, round and less than 1/4" diameter, and...

    New pistol range

    I am in the process of building a shooting range. It will be primarily a pistol range with the occassional rlfle round. It sits about 65 yards down a grade from my cabin so richocetts are a concern. So far I set 2 pieces of 4 1/2" well casing 3' in the ground with concrete. They are about 6'...

    Roma tomato

    Is it just me or are the roma's the best tasting tomatos for just eating? Used to think the beef steaks were the best but not any more. I love to keep them in the fridge and grab a few and a salt shaker for a snack. :thumbsup:

    Quick Hitch and the L3400

    Thought I would ask this question here rather than in attachments hoping for a tractor specific rsponse. Looking for folks who have used a "quick hitch" on their L3400. As you 3400 owners know, the rear of these tractors are pretty narrow. My question is not about the merits or lack there of on...

    PTO shaft shields

    Before I just cut this crap out of the way, thought I would ask here. I am trying to replace a grease zerk in my brand new tillers PTO shaft (it will not take grease) and the big plastic shield around the universal joint is giving me fits. Is ther a way to un-do or un-snap the collar that covers...

    New KK Tiller

    I finally pulled the trigger on a new tiller today. After much diliberation between the 60'" and the 72", I bought the 60". It will cover my tracks by a few inchs on either side and will be a bit easier on the tractor. I bought it at Rural King since they were on sale at $1349. :D They prepped...

    Is this tiller too much for my L3400

    I came across a potential deal on a tiller not far from me. It's a Befco T60 series that is very heavy duty and 74" wide. From the pics, it's in like new condition. Here is a link: BEFCO - Products - Rotary tillers - Till-rite T60 My tractor is a Kubota L3400. I know if I had my choice, I would...

    Alge Stains on Roof shingles

    Thought I would ask fellow TBNer's if anyone has first hand experience removing the alge stains from roof shingles. I have read many different recipes on how to get them clean. Some say TSP and clorine bleach in anywhere from a 50/50 mix to 25/75 (bleach and water) and a few spoons of TSP per...

    Not sure where to post this question, but since it is a project... I am in the process of rebuilding/repainting my Dearborn plow. I got all the parts and new bolts ready to go.

    Planters  Need help with a corn planter

    Once again I need help. I just picked up a refurbished John Deere 1240 corn planter that has been cut down to a 3pt 2 row unit. The guy did a first rate job on the conversion and placed the drive wheel in the center of the planters. It will move from 28" to 44" on row spacing, has the larger...

    Tire ballast added...I think

    Kind of a long story, so I will try to keep it as short as possible. I wanted to bring my tractor home from our cabin property for the winter so it could be used for snow removal and maybe install some rear remotes. I borrow a truck and trailer and head out early in the morning to get it. Also...

    To Bleed or Not to Bleed.....

    Quick question on changing out the fuel filter on an L3400. The manual says the system needs to bleed following the change. I have talked to others that say just slap the new one in and start it up. It appears as though if you let the fuel flow it would fill the bowl as it was being tightened...

    Once again, I need some help. I came across a Ferguson #25 disk set in 7.5' (came highly reccommended by FarmWithJunk).

    Dunhan disc set

    Picked up a disc set this weekend. It is certainly not the type I was shopping for, but it was close and cheap. It measures about 66" wide and about 110' long. Made by Dunham it is a bit heavier than I thought. :eek: Put my L3400 up on three wheels when I hit a rut while unloading it with the...

    I just got a notice from Kubota that my 2 year warranty will expire at the end of next month. I own a L3400HST and have about 70 hours on it. My question is, do I buy the extended warranty or not. Anyone else on the bubble on this issue. BTW...I have had ZERO problems with my machine, but...

    Picked up a Dearborn 10-156 today

    Found one with in an hour away on Craigslist this morning for $150. I was off work so I ran up and looked at it. The over all condition was very nice. No broken parts, nothing seemed bent or abused, so I grabbed it. It has something that I can't find any pics of on other plows. In front of both...

    Lazy 463 FEL

    Over the weekend on my cabin property, I decided to do some brush mowing. All went well and mowed about 3 hours. I noticed the neighbor was working on a small shed trying to get it ready to slide it about 100 feet and reset it. Another neighbor had his 18hp Deere and CX200 FEL on the job. Of...

    Woods RM306 finish mower deal or not

    I have a chance to pick up a Woods RM306 3 point finish mower for about $250.00. It belongs to a friend and works fine. He is even throwing a few brand new extra parts in the deal. My question is, it has only 2 rear caster wheels and the front is supported by the lower arms. I would think this...

    Using the Wrong Tool with Success

    I think the B7800 is my choice. Went to the local dealer today and spent about an hour and a half. Great salesman answered all questions. They had only one B7800 and it had a FEL and turf tires. It was sold but he let me take it for a spin. I LOVED it. I compared it to the MF 1500 series and the...
