It is your battery , why they don't last is beyond me, Problem is the place you buy from can turn in and replace batteries at no cost to them, They actually are out nothing ! they just don't want to deal with the problems of batteries . Just plain tell whoever you are dealing with to replace it...

You have a dealer close by if not call one and have them measure one or they can look in there better owners manual

80 90w utd is to thin and will not keep bearing lubed like 80 90w will I worked in a machine shop for several years and fixed many gear boxes with thin oil in them 80 90 w fixed all the problems we had

Raptor filers are a great filter, Might check on one that fits your tractor

I have seen contamination posted changing implements, If i change implements i take a good cleaner for oil and wipe everything down to a clean coupling so i do not get and of the dirty oil in the system.Very easy to do As for oil breaking down? It will not unless it did or does get very hot...

I have owned a couple kubota tractors, I own an L3940 have had it for several years, Question i have is changing the Trans hydraulic fluid, Drain and replace it,Or change out both filters on a regular bases. I have done the filter changing thinking it is an enclosed system and filters will be...

That is a very big blade to tame Not going to be easy

I have found out Tractor supply if you have one in your area has good quality oil at a good price without getting into specs you need, but i am sure they will have what you need there

First thing is contact Kubota where it was made or delivered to, then go from there, I am guessing there is some not so good things going on here, And like some have said ask what it is worth now will tell you what it is worth and could be not worth what you paid for it, Especially if you...

here is what i came up with i made my 3 point assembly and mounted the back pack husqvarna on it

What did they use it for ? Cleaning up the orchard or spraying?

I bought a blower that you use on your back and works well but at 75 it is getting a bit to much and i am going to mount that on the rear, and the bucket would work also i just thought on the 3 point it will be less eating leaves lol

like the others posted if weld broke grind it out all of it and get down to the splined shaft then set up for a good penetration heat and weld it back up, wire welder or stick i like the wire welder the best

I am sure some have built a three point hitch leave blower i have made my own three point hitch and welded it up turned out fine, If you have one and some ideas let me know this will be a winter project for next fall when the leaves pile up, I swear i had a semi load of them LOL thanks !

Don't waste your time with wood find a metal one

Bull doser

i use a heat light under my oil pan and works for me something i can do the night before and has worked for me, Also mounted in a wood box to direct the heat up. Red one like i use in my chicken coup.

Carburetor cleaner dissolves any oil or grease and drys very fast is what i use, don't use red loctite if you ever want to take it of, But heat will break it down Hot Heat from a torch!

Govt???? why would anyone listen to people that lie and steal from us ?????

brush hog does lots better keep the blades sharp\

sorry for not knowing this but i think i do lol what is regen cycle? Thanks

Leave it the way it is forget the future profit on farm ground, To ,many people i see destroying wooded land. Keep in mind these trees are what keeps us alive !!!

pvc with small lawn sprinklers that spray out a fan pattern, can be bought at local depot stores cheap ! figure out what you would need to plumb them in to the pvc, hose fitting to another pvc fitting. As far as winterizing blow air thru the lines.

Is it possible to burn your field ?

what is posted is good information, My first question is whoever you bought this from, did they not know how to operate the dump?

I am assuming it is broke on one side not both? I cannot say for sure but this had to be bad from new small crack to start with and took a while to work its way down and finally failed? It is fixable with proper grinding and i would put in plates on both sides for more support and do the same...

This post to me is just plain not good! Nothing against the post but seems very odd. You buy a 4 wheel drive so you can use it? correct? I use mine with the bucket attached to work on everything i do loading rocks, wood, and dirt all the time! That is what is is for and you will not hurt...

Interesting to say the least, But a lot of people have problems with the front ends seals, bearings, shafts, and other components in the front end, One of the biggest problems i have encountered is front end bearings, And of course they take all of the load. Here is my take on that, they use...

If they have the money there is no any kind of checks needed, They want what you have then figure out a way to get cash in your hands, Done!!

Grease it doesn't really matter !!

just something i ran into similar and just passing in on to you.; I to had problems similar and i should have caught it i did not change the small oring inside the filter i did the large one. finally figured out it was dry and cracked and was sucking air took it apart for the third time bled...

Looks very nice

L3940 changed it last year, Went to Orileys bought there best battery higher CA great warranty, Been working great even in colder weather

Can it be repaired?

CUTTER

Maybe a mouse crawled in there !!

Normal on several engines, drains slow until you give in air to drain faster

People down grade harbor freight but for home use they are good tools they have one that might fit your budget better

What Rj said wd40 works well for cleaning a surface but not a lubricate. try some spray lube light grease that will stick to the surface

No uses a band saw blade cuts like the bigger ones but is hand held, no pushing your arms to the limit LOL

sounds like you did good, Just some easier way to do things like that for not much money is a portable hand held band saw , Either battery or plug in. Not very expensive i use mine all the time, worth having one for sure, If you have battery drills look for a band saw the same brand that takes...

80 90 w

80 90 w changed it the first time i had a leak with utd fluid way to thin

Read my post below dude

well at my age and accident i cannot do what i used to do i worked as a machinist maintenance for 40 years know what you are saying it kills me not to be able to fix what i did for a living any more. I tore apart million dollar printing presses and repaired them so it really pisses me off not to...

80 90 w i changed it when mine started leaking to thin of oil they come with new udt is not heavy enough in the first place, I know how to get to the seals but with my age and an accident i cannot do what i used to do 10 years ago

I agree something they did wrong maybe not get the seal seated properly in the shoulder i don't know Monday 3/7 22 they get a call and this time they can come get it no charge imo

Love mine for small saplings and such i agree easier on the loader not more stress

I have an L3940 Kubota front oil seals seem to be an item that several have had leaking, I did not have the time or the ability to change them myself due to age and an accident. Well I did haul it to the dealer they changed them last summer and now one is leaking quit a bit, i watched several...

Thanks guys I will still give it some thought and looking around and decide what i am going to do

I understand what you are saying for a sale of there product but the guy i talked to is not this way, i have known him for a long time and put a lot of trust in what he tells me, not about what they sell but information both of us have shared foe quite some time

I have used Rotella oil in my Kubota L3940 sense i owned it, I figured sense truck drivers use it for there rigs, it is good oil. well i think it is always did a great job for me. I was in Tractor supply the other day and some other places, it seems to be not on the shelf's for whatever reason...

Well tore it apart again today Tuesday bought all new orings and filter, I was not aware there was two o rings in my filter, one large one to seal off metal cap, And another small one in side the top of the filter you cannot see other than looking a a print set up of filter parts at the dealer...

I have a Kubota L 3940 change fuel filters several times without any problems today Monday started it up ran just fine, when i was done i decided to change the fuel filter sense i had the heat on in the shop.Well did it like i always did before took it out cleaned up bowl put in a new filter...

It would only be on tractor when i plug it in the rest of the time it would not be there. I need to figure out a way to hold it in place might just build a small cart on wheels for it not sure on that yet. Or thought about a small floor jack to raise and lower it so i don't have to crawl under...

Had some post below on putting in a block heater which is not hard to do, But got to looking around and decided to make a oil pan heater, i have seen several that attach with a magnet. I had chickens for a long time and decided to use a spare red heat light bulb with deflector, which give off...

Not against buying it from the dealer, but my experience is MORE MONEY verses less at auto parts store?

Ok thanks guys i wanted to make sure my thinking was correct and locking the rear differential is what i had figure as you can watch both wheels driving or slipping in the snow, Maybe i am wrong but some say they have locking ability for front to lock also, I would think this would be a great...

Thanks guys good info for sure, My way of thinking, If it ain't broke leave it alone LOL

Am i correct the differential lock pedal when engaged locks the rear differential wheels when in 4 wheel drive or two wheel drive? front wheels are never locked when in 4 wheel drive?

How is the best way to clean fuel Injectors, i do not have an issue as far as i know but curious if it is an easy job or needed? Also injector cleaner from time to time work ok?

thanks will look into one, cann it be bought at local auto store ?

Thanks for the tip on implements having it on a built cart to move around very easy !! Thanks Eddie

did not see this mentioned and is over looked usually how is your battery low battery can cause problems, You think the cold is making it turn over slow which it will but low voltage from a battery will cause a lot of things not to work well

Question do these block heaters work?

Jb weld will fix it i used it on gasoline tank repairs and worked just fine

the reason it was easy to tap is it is cast iron

only way to figure out what you have is by a couple bolts coarse and fine threaded metric bolts and try them. no way to really measure a threaded hole for bolt size, but i am sure they will be metric size

In my opinion they are all steel boxes make for the same purpose, It is crazy what they want for the different colors! i have one buy it they are just as good as the high prices ones that are green and Orange !!

Thanks Smokey

thanks they cost to much not to fix right

no pictures of the break, but the outside on one of the arms the hyd cylinder is attached to by a one inch pin broke completely off on the center of the hole in arm the section shown in picture above the gusset is 3/16" thick so i repaired the broken part ground it out and wire welded it back in...

my bad on the pin size they are one inch

.yes they are andback dragging is a lot if pressure on them, and like i posted this could have had a crack on the inside and not apparent to see it.

Had a loader arm break where the hyd cyl for tilt hooks to with 1/2 pin, back dragging with it. I did not think i was abusing it but it broke! Now i bought this used and i have no idea how it was used, but it looked like it was well takes care of. I have an L3940 great machine, I guess for now...

Just to update the responses i had and thanks for all of those, I forget where my tractor is kept the cement floor is on a down slope, so i get different readings on transmission hyd oil, it showed a bit high when the front of the tractor was on the down side, and when the front was on the high...

Not to get off what he is asking about, it is good to get set up right for sure ! I have a question i to tow a 3940 with loader an usually a box scraper or mower. How do you know where to locate your load on the trailer? Say like more tongue weight, less? And if it sways what is that telling you?

ok thanks for that

i had that problem a while back the seat has a switch that has to be made by sitting on it, i by passed mine because there are times i need to move it by pushing forward or backwards on the pedal to move it slightly to attach implements, lots better!!

wide 5 gal bucket not so tall but wide! take off filter let it fall in the bucket screw new one on make sure you use clean bucket so you can pour it back in the fill hole, just don;t get in a hurry take your time have new filter close or in hand no need to oil the o ring seal it will get plenty...

what JWR said also i blew air in every where i could to clean the adsjustment gears, i then sprayed a light lube over everything in there and this made it a lot better, it catches a lot of dirt in that area on the discharge side, so try that clean it good and lube the hell out of everything that...

i can see your thoughts on this but my front i changed the two seals on front wheels and i uaed 80 90 gear oil a better choice in my opinion instead of lighter oil, The reason i am mentioning this is the oil in my transmission and hydraulic is red in color i have used this for my UTD fluid and...

responses have sounded good and i am guessing with a topped of oil fill and speed and hot tempuratures is causing this i was not to concerened about it becasue this is the only time i see any leaking, regular mowing and bucket work i never do thanks guys for taking the time with me i appreciate...

no i never have it in four wheel drive unless i need it say to load dirt in the bucket or moving snow, other than that i mow in the summer time with it and it stays in two wheel drive or disingausged not a good idea especially running down the road to have it in four wheel drive .

i changed my trans hys oil probably more than needed, but i don't consider it a waste of time to take care of what i have, I own a Kubota L3940 very nice tractor save me a lot of work, I have to give it a big hug and thank you from time to time! i noticed the other day a bit of a leak close to...

Thanks Mike one of those projects i been putting off more important to do the maintenance Part!

i am going to put led lights on mine also been putting it off, the head lights that are on my L3940 are not real bright! My question to you i was just going to tap into wiring that goes into the factory head lights and just have them come on with the stock head light switch by the steering...

What Indy said i used to work on roof exhaust fans rusted bad in the weather first thing we did was let it run emery cloth the shaft to remove pillow blocks. Any how kroil oil is the best we had it in gallon cans at work. But the kicker is HEAT, when you heat any part with Kroil oil on it the...

You sir have no idea what you are talking about when you quote, bending the shaft with a rubber hammer ! This guy took the time to do this the correct way to remove and replace the bearings on this spindle, Could have been pressed out with an arbor press but for the small sized of spindle he had...

Brakes on all trailers, not the real light ones for mowers and such, But i would rather have it braked, The reason being i would rather have them and not need them, as to not have them and wish you had them. Not worth the risk for me.

I am not there or know how you attempted to drill the 7/8 hole, I am going to say you ran the bit way to fast and work hardened your hole. When you try to enlarge a hole it is hard to do with a hand drill but as in your case no choice. when i say slow i mean really slow and it can be done. one...

good point Northcreek

Belt slipping could be? hard to tell but i sm guessing change it at you might be good, fan can run pretty slow with worn belt and slipping belt

blame it all on us!! The big companies that produce what we drive are to blame, what we cause is next to nothing compared to the giant companies that produce all the pollution, and other hazards !! Like all will post no power cannot run long days and hrs, And imagine what will be done with all...

These work very well

If any in here say they never had one come loose. One it is not the spring loose like one suggested, There is not a problem with anything after i lock my lever down by hand!! I get into a lot of limb and tree branch moving some pretty large ones, fallen trees and branches. This does not happen...

i Have a Kubota L3940 worked on the quick connect lock loevers and made them a tighter fit, worked fine! My question is has anyone tried to make something to keep the levers in place once they are locked in down position ? i know there is none of you that owned one not hit a tree limb or...

just a thought i had on my L3940 there is a speed control for the three point, a knob below the front of the seat, it lets you change the speed of lowering and raising implements. Also if it was never used on mine it took a while to start working correct. let me know if you have this most Kubota...

yes they have some nylon washers that would work need to turn down the od of them in my lathe, but i made the two i changed and worked great so when it warms up the other two will get what i made also. they also have the correct size orings

what did you get for the nylon backer space? Nylon washers?

i made my own orings any good hardware, backer space i made on my lathe by making a jig to hold them after boring a hole in the center of a sheet of nylon .062 thick stopped my leak in two that were leaking quite a bit have two more that are not real bad i will wait till it warms up hands get...

i posted on this a few days back i did not realize i had o rings in my quick disconnect fitting. Any way there are in the female coupler, Now like i posted i have a Kubota L3940 and have called 6 places in my Indiana area some even further, even called Messicks, in PA no one i talked to can get...

where did you get the teflon spacer and oring kit at??

Today i found out the upper quick connectors where leaking down on the lower ones making it look like the lowers two were leaking, What i did was disconnect the two upper quick couplers cleaned them off made sure there was noting like dirt or anything else in there put them back on and ran it...

no o rings in mine

I have a Kubota L3940 and have a small hyd leak where the quick couplers connect from the loader to the tractor, still working on it. thought it was the threaded part that comes off the frame and that has male and female fittings that you connect up to the loader. also think it is leaking on the...

Any builds on a tool carrier for the rear of tractor? Say like shovel chain saw or other tools?

i have an L 3940 Kubota and want to increase hyd pressure i fully understand not to go over what the bucket is rated for on pressure. My question is where is the adjustment bolt at, i am thinking it is a bolt with spring and different size shims? But i need someone to tell me where that bolt is...

Where is a good place to buy a good battery for my Kubota L3940?

I have an L3940 it seems to be using more fuel than it was, same fuel i have always used BP Diesel. Any idea how to check how much fuel i am using? I have some ideas but not sure what it should be using, just general digging and mowing with rear finishing mower ?

for some reason i tried to post this to the guy that put up the great video of him digging with he Kubota with a Pirana attached to bucket. any i ordered one and got it the other day, what a super build on this, very nice and heavy duty, can't wait to install it, if i can Lift it LOL

Test picture

how do you post pictures on a post? I have done it before but can't seem to get it loaded. I find my picture i want to post when browse comes up, but then i go to download it here and nothing happens

i bought my Kubota 3940 about 5 years ago it was used when i bought it. the bucket when laid down on a level surface has always been off, i would say 2" on the one side. My question is what is the best way to tweek it back close? I know i have seen post on this before but cannot find any. Thanks

You guys will have to bear with me i have had my L3940 for a few years but had a bad ladder accident and it put me out for almost 2 years. i have been having a problem with my seat safety seat switch, i bought a new one today and still having the same problem. i have tried every adjustment there...

I have read where some use Sea Foam to clean injectors? do any of you do this by adding it to the fuel? If so does it work. Also read where it can be added to the oil before you change the oil for a good clean up? Let me kknow your thoughts on this and if you have done this to your diesel...

Any suggestions on changing ou my dust covers on my hyd bucket? colors are faded and i have new ones but don't want to disassemble all the fittings just to put dust covers on. I did try a heat gun to get them softer without burning them up, got two on that way until my fingers and hands hurt so...

I am sure this has been asked before, I have a Kubota 3940 and use a rear woods mower rear discharge. I don't mow real fast if I don't get done there will hopefully be another day to mow. My question is what rpm is best to run the engine at? also they always say 540rpm on drive shaft? is that...

Any one know a good oolor match for woods mower deck other than oem price

I have a woods rear mower72" I have watched some finishing mowers cut grass. Mine does a good job,but I have chains on the rear discharge which I realize it is a guard My question is without the chains on, it spreads the grass out better and does not row it up. have any of you seen this or...

What do you guys use for engine oil in your kubota diesel? any of you use Synthetic oil?

What is the best hyd trans fluid for Kubota besides the high priced kubota utd fluid? I have been reading up on several that are as good or better, even some with synthetic oil added. what are your thoughts on this?

Anyone have a problem lifting with the bucket when you have a full load of dirt, If i go into a load of dirt I have to back up and go forward a couple times and then it will lift with no problem. Is this normal or is there a hyd adjustment to increase the lift? I don't want to ruin anything by...

Where is a place to buy hydraulic covers for male and female hyd lines

I have a kubota 3940 watched several videos on you tube and did not look to bad to change a freeze plug Well kubota diesel engine blocks are not bored as deep as most engines. So my question is any of you ever change one? I have a pin hole in one of mine and need to change it, any help would be...

I have searched and found quite a bit on the front axle leaks on Kubota's on all models. Some with bearing problems which takes the seal out and some with just seal leaks. Here is what I have going on. I bought this used very low hrs 200 when I purchased it. This winter never noticed any leaks...

I was thinking while driving my tractor moving some snow around, getting pretty good at this here in Indiana but I am sure out East the tractor guys are getting much better than me :) Just doing some thinking, sense my Kubota is getting close to needing the Trans Hyd fluid changed, We all know...

I ended up selling my L3010 and bought a used L3940 IMO it is the nicest Tractor I have owned several features I really love about this one! Ok my question I have most all the options on this that i consider nice QT bucket two rear cyl for tilt and level, only thing I would have liked to see and...

I have posted questions on this before but would like to get back into it the person that I had been talking with passed away madfree I believe his name was, anyway I have a kubota L 3010 and would like to put remote hyd to the rear of the tractor without taking out a loan from Kubota I can make...

Just thought I would let everyone know that I am in the process of painting my ROPS and frame of my Kubota L3010 I have heard allot about this color even from the dealer being a pain to match well I found one from Ace hardware it was a computer mixed paint from what Ace Hardware calls Rust Stop...

I am a new member and I was not aware that one of your members Madreferee had passed my prayers go out to all the members and family. My question is on hydraulics it has been talked about on here I see many times but I have a Kubota L 3010 and as I have read some time back there was someone who...
