You have to remove the 3PT hitch to mount the BH but that's two bolts and a pin per arm, takes more time to figure out which size wrench than to get them off (pro tip after about four years I finally wrote the size on with paint markers, some of us learn slower than others  )

I don't know how bad you broke the engine, and I guess you won't know either until you look inside the timing cover. But that sure would make a great engine for a swap project on a pickup truck.

My top three right now are generator, tracked hunting rig, rock/mud buggy for hunting. The first and last probably the most likely but the middle one sounds like the most fun.

My Kubota dealer sold me on an Ansung instead of a Kubota loader on my L3901 due to cost. After discounts it was $1,000 cheaper to go with an Ansung. I don't have complaints with mine, but I don't see many people with them.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By blackx-runner: Nice. Details on lights. Did they come with the magnet mounts? Need to get something added to my tractor. Headlights are pretty much useless with the plow. Harbor freight 4 LED pods ($22each with 20% off coupon). Magnets are from HF as well. I think they’re advertised as 95 lb magnets. Set up ready to go with the hardware that comes with the light pods. When you get the lights watch...they have flood and spot lights in nearly the same box. I opted for flood as throw distance wasn’t important and it’s not exactly a high speed machine. Got power cord from Lowe’s the wiring kit that you can buy for the lights at HF is going to be too short. Probably need about 18’ of cord to run it from the battery to the switch and under the body along the factory wiring harness up to the ROPS. Switch was $10 from Advance Auto...30 amp. I have less than $100 into it all |

My college-age daughter had some friends from school at the farm over the weekend. One of the city girls wanted to learn to drive the tractor. So, I gave her enough instruction to drive a couple of laps in my JD 3025. They were all giggles and smiles. It was a little funny since I did the same with one of my young nephews (about 12 y.o.) on Christmas day.

That is pretty common on front tires that are carrying a heavy load or don't have enough air pressure. I've seen EA do it a couple times. They always use some type of fuel to rebead the tire.
This reminds me: I need to check the tire pressure in my L4330 before the same thing happens to me.

It was one of my primary reasons to upgrade from the BX Sad part is when I started up I noticed the rears looked a little lower pressure than I like so I was going to go add air after that job because it was on the way to the garage from the shed.

Finally got over the first “major hydraulic leak” on the new tractor. 41 hrs, been waiting for it
Would have been a 30 second fix to tighten the hose back down but had to take off a stupid cover to get at it so of course had to go get an actual tool box with sockets to reach two bolts. |
