    Can I continue to us a slightly bent PTO shaft?

    So I have 2 mowers, a rough cut and a finish mower. For years my rough cut mower had a twisted PTO shaft that I could see wobble slightly as I used it. So I purchased a new one a year or 2 ago. Only to have it develop a slight wobble over the summer as well. The other night, I noticed that...

    What size battery for a G4200

    I picked up an old G4200 recently and it does not have a battery in it. So I have nothing to measure to see what fits. What is the stock size battery in this tractor? Or what fits in the stock location? If you have something other than stock, tell me what you guys are using in these machines...

    L3800 Clutch not fully engaging

    My L3800 has about 600 hours on it. I was doing some work this weekend and noticed I couldn't pull it out of gear. Then I noticed that the tractor was actually slowly moving forward while I had the clutch pedal pushed in. I also noticed at that time it was making a whining sound. I shut the...

    Cultivator or tiller

    What are the pros and cons to a cultivator vs a tiller? I like the cultivator idea because its cheaper, less moving parts so it should be easier to maintain and it doesn't create a hard pan under the tilled soil as I understand a tiller does. I am also intrigued by the bedding option I've seen...

    B7100 or newer kubota riding mower

    How important is the inner air filter on L3800

    I purchased a used tractor last weekend and little by little been doing a little cleaning up and maintenance. I could see the paint on the tractor was pretty scratched up so I initially had fears it was a rough tractor. But talking with the owner he said he did the 50 hour service and the...

    Recommended service for new to me L3800 with 525hrs

    I just purchased a L3800 (4wd with manual gears) with 525 hours. The previous owner stated he did the 50 hour oil change and changed hydrualic fluid as well. But I'd like to change all the fluids so I know everything is as good as I could do it from the start. I've already purchased oil...

    Looking at small L series. Need advice on size, tier IV emissions, etc.

    First post here, I've been reading the forums for awhile but just opened an account to ask some question. I'm looking for a small 30-35hp L series Kubuta with a loader. I questioned whether I needed the L series or B series, but it seems the L series is just build stronger and I think that is...
