    Front Axel Oil Change on HST

    In the 1980's GM had their best cars using dissimilar metals in the drive chain. It was a residential gutter contractor that pointed out their error. We are all responsible to think for ourselves and I highly regard the thoughts of this forum. These men and women own and operate equipment they...

    Front Axel Oil Change on HST

    The hydraulic level indictor has not changed from when it was drained until I charged the system with all 7 gallons...which is about a quart more than the manual calls for. I have no idea what to do about this or even if I'm looking at this indicator correctly.

    Front Axel Oil Change on HST

    Great advice and you guy are right again. I went back to the shop for a new Hydraulic filter, the one they sold me had the magnet broken into 5 pieces. While there I questioned their air filter advice again and the owner confirmed he thinks the L3200 only came with one. However, they looked it...

    Front Axel Oil Change on HST

    Thank you everyone, that is what I thought. I had to go back to the dealership to get a missing tiny o-ring for the fuel filter. I stoped by the maintenance department for a chat first thing. The mechanic I spoke with recommended I not change the front axle oil until 2000 hours, said it was not...

    Ha. A clean barn is accomplishing nothing...there is a lot more to this but that is the basics.

    Front Axel Oil Change on HST

    I took my tractor in for the 200 hour maintenance but decided to do it myself for the 400. I read and reread the manual and being an engineer it is a good document, except it covers many variations of models and options and does not clarify between them clearly...I like a document to just state...

    Stuck Lugs

    I know there must be a discussion on this issue before now but I could not find it. I have a 2012 L3200 with turf tires and I cant get the Lugs to budge. I have used liquid wrench for several days spraying at least twice a day. I have used a breaker bar wrench set with two guys on it, then an...

    3 pt lowering speed knob

    I have a 2012, L3200 HST, 4wd and I can't get the 3pt lowering speed knob to turn. I am hesitant to put a wrench to it. Any knowledge on how to adjust this knob.

    3pt Log Splitter

    I had the same question last year and discovered set up questions I could not find the answer to with the valving on the splitter, recycling the oil or potential blinding the recycle flow when hooked up to the implement. There was also the $700 plus fee the local Kubota tractor dealer wanted for...

    King Kutter 60" Tiller

    I checked with several local equipment suppliers and received quotes from high $1700 to low $1900 for the same King Kutter TG-60 tiller. I really like the KKII-TG-60 due to the weight and robust tube frame. I can find them online for under $1500 but shipping costs $300… I guess I am gong to just...
