Model number location on L series tractor

[nvr-enuf]

Hello everyone - I am looking at upgrading from a B21 to what I believe is an L3430 tractor which was produced in 2003. I say "believe" since the tractor does not have the stickers on the hood, only a L3.

Is there a tractor model tag located on the tractor that I can have the owner look for?

On the ROPs, he stated it says L35 - I am 100% sure it is not an L35 which is a big brother of my B21.

Thanks for your help

On mine there is a tag on the outside of the frame at the lower left side in front of the engine. Not sure about the xx30 series.

Mine is also on the lower leftside. Between the front axle and the FEL mount.
Right under the engine oil dip stick. Cant miss it. It is about 3"X3"

Unfortunately he stated there is nothing there in that location. The seat looks to have a compartment, I am having him check to see if this is where the owners manual may be located.

Below is a picture of the tractor - does anyone know what model kubota this is. Supposedly 35 HP engine.

Thanks - Is the tag a "sticker" or is it riveting onto the frame?

The tag is rivited to the frame on the L3x30 Grand series. Look at the dash. I believe all Grand models come with the intellipanel dash (all digital).

Mines not a Grand just a L3010D 2001. Dash is not Digital. Metal Tag riveted in place. Looks exactly like yours from that angle.

Edit: Sorry I'm wrong - My rear fenders are squared off.

I swear I can see the tag on the tractor in the picture when I blow it up to 400%

Must be a warning decal

 

[nvr-enuf]

Here are some other clues:
- Dash has a digital hour meter, regular dial tach, and the rest look like light up's for items such as glow plugs, etc.
- tractor has remote hydraulics for the 3 pt hitch

It is frustrating that I can not determine 100% what model tractor it is.
I think my next step is to receive the information off the engine - that way it should narrow down the L series model #s by the engine series / displacement

what did the "grand" series tractor provide?

 

[moship]

Does the pannel look like this?
Kubota Grand L30 Series, IntelliPanel

If so, it is likely a L30 Grand Series.

I agree with the earlier post. It does look like the ID tag is visible in the photo if it is blown up 400%.

What does Grand get you? Here's the "Features" listed in some sales literature...
1) Wider Fender Interval - 5.5" wider than on the Grand L10 series
2) Heavy Duty Front Axle
3) Power Steering
4) Foldable ROPS
5) Deluxe Seat
6) Open floor Seat
7) Easier access to Engine Oil Level Indicator
8) Telescopic Lower Link Ends
9) 2 tandem large hydraulic cylinder delivers a 20% increase in 3-point hitch lift capacity

The dash looks like the one in your link. It has the checked look in the center of the steering wheel, digital like your link.

So - if I find out the engine casting / stamped numbers I should be able to then know what size grand L series it is.

How would I know if the tractor has a mid mount PTO?

Thanks for all your help

Tractor ID Tag: Are you certain it is not there as described in the earlier links? If it is missing perhaps this tractor is stolen.

Dash: It is Grand L30 series then. Just not certain which one at this point.

Mid PTO: Either look for the shaft under the tractor or look for the lever on the lower right hand side (as seated on tractor) near the floor and towards the fender. If there is an onen slot and no lever in this area it doesn't have the mid pto.

Engine ID Tag: Not certain what is on this tag or how to ID the various engines.

I take it the tractor is not nearby or you would have looked it over yourself... Something sounds fishy to me too. The tag should be on the frame, and letters (decal) on the hood. It looks like a grand L30 series to me. Get more and better photos, and lots of them..or I would not prusue it further as it may be stolen or scam.

Nvr-enuf, I just figured out there are 2 message threads going on this same tractor. It's an Lxx30 - something. Has the smaller FEL, so it's probably an L3130, L3430 or L3830. Those would all be 3 cyl. engines.

It has had some cosmetic repair, but not a full restoration with decals, etc. If the serial no. tag is not in place, I'd be kind of cautious about the tractor. Cosmetic fix-ups can cover up other more serious problems. How many hours?

In the other thread, I gave you a link to photos of a brand new 3430 from 2005. You can compare placement of decals, etc. to see what's different.

 

[nvr-enuf]

Yes - I had two threads, sorry.

Supposedly a little over 800 hours. I am thinking that they washed the tractor alot, was pwned by a municipality therefore the numbers and tag came off.

On the 2005's the model number tag is GLUED on from what I saw from another tractor for sale therefore if it was washed alot, this could have happened.

It is not local - and yes, if I were to get serious I would likely spend the $$ and see it in person to know if it was repainted.

The guy says it is 35HP therefore I assume it is a L3430

In one of your posts you requested a pdf of the L3430...

Is this what you are looking for?

looks like my L3410, fits the description you are giving.

Strange for a plate to be missing.
