Hi, I just finished the 6th or 7th 300 hour service on my 2001 b2910. The manual specifies 3.83 gallons of hydro oil after a filter and hydro oil change. The last time I did the 300 hour maintenance, I made a note that the dip stick registered over filling. So, this time I only put in 3 gallons...

I had posted this under the 'tires' forum but thought I might get a reply here... I have an old JD 130 lawn tractor, circa 1986. The front tire had a blowout and needs to be replaced. I would like to just buy a tire and wheel combo but I can't seem to find the correct size wheel. The tire is a...

I have an old JD 130 lawn tractor, circa 1986. The front tire had a blowout and needs to be replaced. I would like to just buy a tire and wheel combo but I can't seem to find the correct size wheel. The tire is a 13x5.00-6. The wheel has a 3/4" shaft, and the hub length is 2 5/8". Any of the...

I have a tiny leak between the bevel gear case and front gear case on my B2910. I looked at the shop manual and it looks like there is an O-ring between the 2 parts which are held together by 4 bolts. It looks like an easy repair. Is it simply a matter of removing the 4 bolts, sliding off the...

I went to loosen up my 3pt hitch lowering pressure and I couldn't turn the knob. I ended up using a pipe wrench to turn it. Is there a way to free it up? Thanks B2910 hsd

My snow thrower was stuck in high gear. I opened it up and found that the pin going to the friction wheel assembly had come out. I put it back in and it came out again. There doesn't appear to be any way to connect it to the shift arm assembly Am I missing something?

I am trying to chase down a short in my flashers and I need to get to the switch and flasher behind the cowl and instrument cluster. Can anyone explain how to remove them? Thanks.

I was working on my road with the flashers going when the 20 amp, flasher/hazard fuse blew. I replaced it and it blew when I turned the flashers on again. If I am reading my meter correctly, I have continuity between the + wire going to the flashers and ground . I can't see anything wrong with...

I have my Default Thread Subscription Mode set up with "instantly, using email". I use that setting chosen at the bottom of the post; like this one as well. I also have "Receive Email Notification of new Private Messages" selected. However, I do not receive any emails. I have checked my email...

This has happened a few times to me since spring, My B2910hsd will just start to loose power and I have to baby it to get it to a safe place. The first time it happened, I lifted the hood and the entire battery compartment was stuffed with feathers forming a huge nest. I figured it was shorting...

One of the 1156LL headlight bulbs died on my B2910. I ordered some 12V, LED replacements. The base of the LED is the same as the 1156LL but it doesn't work when put into the socket. I tested the LED off a 12V battery and it works. The socket works when I put a 1156LL bulb in it. Any Idea why it...

I have a 5 year old Aurora portable diesel generator, # AGI16500DE. It has an 11 HP, 186F type, single cylinder, 3600 rpm, diesel engine. The oil pressure sensor is leaking. I tried tightening it but that didn't work. Can anyone tell me if this sensor is an off-the-shelf item? I found this...

My JD 110 (300hours) needs to have its Tuff Torq transmission rebuilt. I have read a number of articles and watched a few You Tube videos on how to do it. I have the transmission apart on the bench and the cost of parts and s/h is close to $500. I am not sure I want to spend that kind of money...

Hi all, I have a wood splitter that is probably 25 years old. I have had it for the last 23 years. In that time, I have replaced the original motor and replaced the Lovejoy couplings 2 or 3 times. I have split over 300 cord of wood in that time. It isn稚 fast but it has been strong and reliable...

On the left side of my B2910HSD, under where the floor meets the rear fender, is a piece of metal that connects the floor to the fender. It is rusted out on my tractor. Does anyone know where I could buy a replacement? Thanks

I have been looking for a 7ft scraper blade and found 2 nearby on Craigs List. They both are $450 and The beat up looking one will sell for $400. Are they worth the asking price or should I keep looking. I am in no hurry. 7ft Arps Blade (Scraper/Grader Blade) 7 ft scraper blade Thanks,

Well my first words weren't Merry Christmas! I was pulling out a tree and had my wheel cocked to the right and ...thunk... it snapped right off at the bearing. The tractor is quite a ways down in the woods and I am going to have to fix it myself. Can anyone give me some advice on what I will...

I am looking to buy a new diesel generator. The specs say "Diesel Low Sulfur Automotive Fuel Only". Isn't the off road diesel I use in my tractor the same thing? One of the reasons I was looking at a diesel generator is because I have the fuel on hand already for my tractor. This is the unit I...

I was doing my 10 hour grease routine on my B2910HST and noticed the Zerk fitting is missing from the speed control rod. I don't think it broke off because I can feel threads in it with a finish nail. Can anyone tell me what size fitting to buy? Should I assume it's metric like the other bolts...

I have a 15-20 yr old Mighty Murc wood splitter. It is hard to make out the model # it looks like 27 or 2?7. the serial # is B3301. There is a doughnut-like piece of hard rubber that goes between the power output of the 8hp engine and the hydro pump. It has disintegrated. This happened about 6...

I have a shallow well (15' +/-) that isn't being used. I would like to use it to water lawns and gardens in the summer. What would be an inexpensive way to pump water to a sprinkler without setting up a complete well/pump system?

I installed a Central Boiler outdoor wood furnace about 6 weeks ago. It is piped to my existing FHW oil furnace and I am using a Boilermate ( as a separate zone) for my domestic HW. In 6 weeks my oil furnace has not come on once! All I have been burning is old blow down wood and I have 9 cord of...

The baffle (the wall that keeps the solids out of the leach field) in my septic tank is crumbling. And my 32 year old leach field is just about shot. I have 2 questions. 1. Can I take a piece of 4” drain pipe, say 18” long, Put a T in the middle, kind of like this… ╣ then insert a 6”...

This summer I want to bring in a truck load of sand to have on hand to sand my road next winter. I will need to add salt to it so it won't freeze solid in the winter. Does anyone know what the ratio of salt to sand is? Thanks,

Does anyone have a small PTO sand spreader for their tractor? Does it work well for you? Any idea where I can buy one that won't cost an arm and a leg? Thanks,

I am trying to find a tool that my FIL had many years ago. We used it to debark small pine trees to make posts. It was a blade about a foot long with 2 handles. It was shapped like this [ You would pull the knife over the wood to debark it. Anyone know what it is called and where I might be...

I am having an outdoor wood furnace installed. It will run a HW loop to my existing FHW system, keeping it up to temp. I want to run a zone to a DHW storage tank. The installer can get a Vaughn 35 gallon, stone lined, system for $800. Home Depot has an Amtrol 41 gallon, DH7P series, system with...

I have an area behind my garage that is used for water run off. The ground slopes down away from the garage and runoff from the road and my driveway run through this area as well. There is no water in it unless we have a downpour and then it isn’t much. I would like to fill this area in to build...

I have some pretty large trees that I need to take down that are near my house. due to the way they are leaning, I don't dare try to drop them with out tieing a rope to them and pulling them in a direction away from the house. I used to have an old ski-tow rope from a local ski area that I would...

I was talking with the man who will install the Cenrral Boiler , if I have it done. He said he would hook it up directly to my FHW boiler, hence making the system non-pressurized. He said a circulator would run continuously from the outdoor furnace to the indoor FHW furnace, keeping the indoor...

I have been researching outdoor wood furnaces. From what I can see, there are 2 basic types, pressurized and atmospheric (non pressurized). A pressurized system would hook up directly to my FHW system to make a closed system. An atmospheric system would transfer heat via a Flat Plate, water to...

I have about 8-12 acres of spruce, pine, oak and maple. I was going to sell it off to a logger, but then I was wondering if I could buy a portable bandsaw mill and make enough $ to pay for it and have lumber for myself. Does anyone have one? What is your experience? Is one brand better than...

When I turn my wheels, I get a squealing noise that comes from under the cowl by my feet. The steering seems a bit hard as well. It is worse when there is a load in the FEL. I checked the Hydro fluid and the front axel fluid. They are fine. I have about 275 hours on it. Any Ideas? Thanks

I went to the Kubota dealer Saturday to get an oil filter for my B2910. It cost $8.20 . Sunday, I drained my oil and took off the old old filter. Well, of course it was different than the one I bought . The old filter was a 16271-320<font color="red">90</font> and the new one was a...

I have read a lot of posts about 3pt Carryalls. I have seen them on the TSC site. There are no TSCs here in NH and I was wondering if anyone knew where I might find an online dealer. Thanks

I live in snow country and I have a large cinder block chimney. There are 3 flues running through it. It is about 2’X5’ and sticks up about 5 ‘ out of the center of my roof just a foot or so down from the peak. It is about 30 years old. The cinder blocks have disintegrated in spots and have been...

B2910 cruise control won\'t hold the cruise control on my B2910HST won't hold in position. The control arm keeps springing back to netural. I took some of the covers off to take a look at where the control arm goes but can't quite figure out why it won't hold. I don't want to adjust something...

Hi, I have a 55 gal drum from a carwash that held detergent. I want to use it as a water supply for my chickens. To clean it out, I ran a hose in it (gravity fed from brook) for 2 days. Then I put in a cup of bleach and about 10 gallons of water and rolled it around then rinsed it out. There is...

Does anyone know how to get the rear wiper to put pressure on the window? It goes back and forth alright but only the lower portion of the wiper strikes the window. I have tried WD40 on all the moving parts with no change. Is there some way to increase the pressure inward tward the window? Thanks,

I am going to try somthing new this year. I just ordered 25 baby chicks from McMurray hatchery. I ordered 7 BUFF ORPINGTONS Females   6 RHODE ISLAND REDS Females  5 WHITE ORPINGTONS Females and 7 BLACK AUSTRALORPS Females I plan to let them free range during the day and lock them up in the...

My 2910HSD has 180 hours on it. I spent all day blowing 14” of snow on Saturday using my 5’, rear mounted, Meteor blower. I had to clear ¼ mile of gravel road and all around my house and barn. I only picked up one grapefruit size rock to break a shear pin. Everything worked perfectly. But……...

Well I finally got to give my Meteor rear PTO blower a real work out on Thursday. I blew 13" of heavy snow off my 2000' gravel driveway. It worked great. I set the skid shoes to leave about a 2' clearance and did not pick up one rock. The snow I left will form a great base and now I will raise...

I need to replace the fuel filter in my B2910. It looks pretty simple, unscrew the bowl, replace filter, screw on bowl. However, I am sure there must be more than that. Do I need to empty the tank or clamp the fuel line? Will I have to bleed the system afterwards? Any hints would be appreciated...

I broke the ratchet on the R. lift rod assembly on the 3PH of my Kubota B2910. The Kubota replacement cost is $285.00! Is there a place where I can buy one after market? I had a catolog at home from which I bought a new top link, but ...some how... it went out with the trash.

I have a dug well,16-20’, that I don’t use anymore. I replaced it with a drilled well 12 years ago. I would like to use the dug well for things like watering gardens, sprinklers, washing cars etc. to take the load off my drilled well. I would like to hook up a pump to the well but am not sure...

I was using my landscape rake on my B2910. I had the top link extended just about all the way to lift the tines. The wheels on the rake were all the way down. I was going down hill and stopped inches from a tree. When I tried to back up I raised the rake and backed up. The wheels caught the...

JD 185 HST won\'t climb hills I've got a 1987 JD 185 HST tractor that I have beat on regularly since bought it new. I have had it apart and replaced many parts. The engine is fine but the transmission won't work under a load. Is the tranny shot or is there a belt adjustment or some other thing...

OK, I admit it, I sometimes forget to release the parking brake when using my 2910. That is probably the reason that it doesn't hold the tractor on inclines anymore. Is there an adjustment to tighten it up or have I cooked the brakes? David

My wife cleaned out the cupboards in the kitchen the other day and came across this gizmo. She asked me what it was. I said I thought it might be a melon ball cutter. We had fruit salad that day and it was not its intended purpose. It has a lever you push to expel whatever you put into it...

HELP! B2910 won\'t start! I am in the middle of a big project and my tractor won't start! It has 100 hours on it and I have had it for 13 months. I parked it and when I went to start it I got nothing at all. No crank, click or anything. I made sure the PTOs were not engaged, the clutch was...

The fill plug for the hydro oil on my B2910 popped off and got caught up in the lift arm or the PTO and split in two. It fit on tightly. Why would this happen? Has it happened to anyone else? I don't know how long the plug was off and hope no dirt got into the system. David

I stopped at the auto parts store to buy some 10-30 oil for my B2910. They had a number of brands of oil but they were all 15-40. Is there any problem running the 15-40 instead of the 10-30? Thanks. David

Well after getting a lot of info from TBNers I have decided to take the plunge ( pun intended ). I am going to install a 15X30X52 oval, above ground pool. I went to Home Depot and bought enough underground 10/2 wire to go the 180+' from a 20 amp breaker in the house to an insulated GFI plug on a...

Has anyone ever used solar power to run a swimming pool pump? I am planning on putting in an above ground swimming pool and it will be about 130' from the house so electricity will be a problem. David

I have a 402 FEL on my B2910. Sometimes when dumping if I stop before the bucket is all the way down then try to continue, nothing happens. I bring the lever back to the center then again to the side and it will complete the downward stroke. Lifting up and down and rotating up seem to be fine...

I have been reading the posts on FEL hooks . I don't have access to a welder so I followed Bird's method. The parts cost me $14 at hardware store and unfortunatly the dril bit cost $14 too. I will post a series of picts of the project. starting with the holes.David

I have a 15+ yr old, stand alone, Mighty Murc log splitter. I have never added or changed the hydro oil in it. There is no filter that I can see. My questions are, what type of hydro oil should I use to top it off? Should I drain and replace all of the oil? I have probably split over 500 cord...
