I'm finishing my 50 hour service and noticed the fluid level in the front axle is low. I want to top it off. The manual specificies UDT or gear oil. Any idea what the factory (or dealer) would actually have put in here? I don't want to mix fluids. Sure smells like gear oil.

I got my latest ebay purchase yesterday, an Alamo flail mower. I've been looking locally for a year or so with no luck. I thought I'd post my first impressons of the machine and operation. Pics coming over the weekend. My impression of the unit is that it's a tank. Side walls look to be...

Alamo SHD74 Flail Mower Blade Questions I just scored a used Alamo SHD74 flail mower on ebay. Paid too much, but I've been looking for months, they just aren't common in my area. Anyway, I want to order some replacement blades, the ones on it look to be pretty worn. My main use will be rough...

I'm looking for a used rotary mower, primary use will be brush clearing and maintaining "rough" property. My dealer has a used 503 in stock, looks to be in nice shape. I understand this is an obsolete model, can anyone tell me if it's one of the "standard", or "medium duty" mowers? (if they...

I found a decent deal on a used Mott 6' flail mower on craigslist, and currently am planning on picking it up this weekend. My main uses will be rough cutting and clearing brush, and maintaining my 20 acres of forest land. My concern, upon further research and comparing pictures on various web...

I love my new L3240, my only complaint is the deadmans switch on the seat. In marginal conditions I want to be able to stand and see what's in front of me, or at least lean over in the seat and see just where the tires are going. The deadman's switch has shut the tractor down several times...

Hi All, I have a 20 acre parcel that has a steep hill going down from the largest portion of my property down to a small lake. Going straight down, the slope is 45* plus, no way a tractor is going on it. There is an old skid trail cut down and across the slope, it's somewhat steep (maybe 15%...

I did some searching on insurance here, mostly what I was finding was coverage of the tractor when used for personal use. I'm buying a new tractor, it will be used for maintaining my property, but I want to also take on some outside work, hopefully enough to help with payments. I'm hoping you...

I've been looking and drooling ever since I broke my current tractor, finally making the jump. I'm getting a new L3240HST, 724 loader with SSQA, filled R4s and 2 rear remotes. Also coming is a new Landpride RBT3584, with hydraulic angle and offset. According to the dealer it should be ready...

Can you guys and girls take a look at this posting and let me know what you think? kubota tractor 3240 HST back blade loader brush hog - eBay (item 190270740043 end time Dec-07-08 17:46:09 PST) Even at the "buy it now" price of $18k this seems like a good deal. It's the tractor I want, with a...

The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a rear blade that offers offset capabiltiy primarily for snow removal. Around here the country is pretty hilly, many driveways are cut across the grade (sidehill). Being able to plow snow to the low side is required, and to maintain the...

Does anyone have any pictures handy of the "factory" remote rear hydraulics? I'm wondering how the valve (I want 3 axis valving) mounts with the dealer installed package, and how the hoses route. My dealer wants an arm and a leg for these, Surplus Center has the 3 spool valve for a fraction of...

I'm looking at buying a new tractor in the near future, and can't convince myself that I want to spend the money that Kubota wants for remotes. I want 3 rear remote axes, near term use will be for a rear blade angle, offset and tilt. Given that I'm not exactly loaded, I'll probably do this...

Can anyone tell me a fair price for a low hour L3130 with Loader and Backhoe? There is one here: 2005 Kubota. L3130 4wd Tractor with Loader & Backhoe - eBay (item 270306809269 end time Nov-23-08 08:25:05 PST) Seems too good to be true, I've emailed the seller. I hadn't planned on buying till...

Hi all, I'm hoping some of our posters can help me with sources of parts for my Shibaura. Last summer I had the clutch "freeze" and finally got around to splitting the tractor. Once I started pulling her apart the cause got to be pretty apparant, about 2 cups of water drained out of the...

I'm borrowing a friends Case 530 Construction King TLB, and need to replace the points. Can anyone tell me what the proper setting for point gap is? Thanks. Brian

I have a D23F that needs a brake adjustment. I have in the past adjusted the turnbuckle that runs from the pedals back, its worked ok but seems like i am using adjustment in a hurry. Is there another adjustment at the brakes themselves? If so, where/how? Also, what is required to change...

I\'m sick of snow!!!! Best way to get rid of it? I'm on a 20 acre parcel here in north Idaho, with about 1/2 mile of private road/driveway to maintain. We have gotten hit pretty good with snow this year, maybe 3 ft on the level now, there has been more but some has settled. My tractor is a...

Hi All, I have just started having problems with the hydraulics with my Shibaura D23F. When I raise the FEL or 3-pt the motion is slow and jerky, it sort of starts and stops irregularily. Lowering works fine, nice and smooth. In addition, the power (pressure) seems to be down, I have trouble...
