    L3400 Valve Stem Size?

    The TR 618A that I ordered fits, but it is longer than the stock one, in other words sticks out further from the wheel and more eager to grab things and break. I originally broke the stock one when the wheel was rubbing against a log. So having even longer ones is no good. I will go ahead and...

    L3400 Valve Stem Size?

    I went outside and cut the rubber one off and punched it into the hole to measure it, don't know why I didn't think of that before. But it is definitely a 0.625" (5/8") hole size in the rim. My commercial grade zero turn used a 0.453". I think the tractors use a larger diameter hole for...

    L3400 Valve Stem Size?

    Edited at the top of this so people can see the correect answer: The front wheels use a TR-416 valve stem, Milton's equivalent product is #470. Not sure about the rear wheels. Original post follows: Good evening! The time has come to finally replace my dry rotted and slowly leaking tires...

    Any expectations of Kubota promotions/sales?

    We've been toying with the idea of getting an RTV-1140 as soon as we refinance our house. 3 dealers in the area seem to be staying close together on price with the standard 0% financing. I'm curious if anyone has info on how Kubota usually operates with sales and promotions, even though these...

    Backhoe hydraulic hose L3400 HST - BH76

    Removed and new hose already made up. Those guys are quick! Thanks for the advice. Only a few drops came out, and then I obviously had to push the male nipple of the quick connect side to release vacuum and drain the oil in the hose out. I had wondered how to handle the cleaning portion of...

    Backhoe hydraulic hose L3400 HST - BH76

    While box blading, my hydraulic hose broke the zip tie that was holding it and ended up contacting the box blade over and over. It has rubbed down enough that I want to replace it before putting my backhoe back on the tractor. My plan this evening is to go home, remove the hose and take it to...

    Are you happy with the hydraulic lift capacity of your Kubota?

    Not too happy with mine, either. I bought some good CAT forks, and I think they're too heavy duty and really take away from the lifting capacity. Sometimes with the loader bucket on it has a hard time lifting dirt if it's heaped up too high. Definitely a spot I wish I could improve, but I...

    I just purchased a 2008 L3400HST with loader with quick detach bucket, and with a backhoe with mechanical thumb, R4 tires, canopy top, and a few other options for $19,000. It had 75 hours on it. Bought from a large Kubota dealer in the area. They were advertising it at $20,000, it was on...

    Factory service manuals questions - L3400HST and BH76

    Okay, I just spent a few hours researching because I was not convinced that the Kubota rep or the Messicks rep were correct with their conclusion that a BH76 workshop manual never existed. I asked both of them whether a BH75 or BH77 manual existed and would apply and couldn't get a straight...

    Factory service manuals questions - L3400HST and BH76

    Thanks, but nothing there unfortunately. Called Kubota, they confirmed that I'd need to buy BOTH the regular manual and the supplemental manual for the tractor. And they also said that there was never a BH76 workshop manual made. Just the operator's manual. So I guess that settles it then...

    Factory service manuals questions - L3400HST and BH76

    Just got off the phone with Messicks. They cannot open any manuals to see what is contained in them. They were unsure what was included in the "HST supplemental manual" shown here: http://www.messicks.com/part/97897-13310/l2800hst-l3400hst-supplement-shop-manual-does They suggested to just...

    Factory service manuals questions - L3400HST and BH76

    Good evening, folks. I'm trying to find a service manual for my L3400HST tractor and my BH76 backhoe. I supposedly have the LA463 FEL manual on the way to me off of an eBay purchase... The L3400 manuals are easy to find for ~$100, but I'm hoping someone can shed light on WHICH one I'm after...
