    L3200 Valve cover removal

    Yes thought about that big plate maybe allowing enough, 2 bolts, but the main fuel lines goes through it and would have to drain a full tank if just moving it around isnt enough. BUT that's better than fully removing the tank if I don't have to. Got some bad diesel a year or two back and fully...

    L3200 Valve cover removal

    Its about time to inspect/adjust the valves on my L3200. 1st time, and Ive had since new. I have the hood off, all bolts out of the valve cover but it wont come off due to the Fuel tank hitting the back part of it. Before spending hours probably taking off more than I need to, anyone got any...

    Will a gravel rake help with leaves?

    I have had a landscape rake for years, great for heavy debri but tears up the /grass/soil too much for leaf work. I recently bought a Pinestraw rake....NOW THAT I wish I had for years. does a great job on most average to small limb debri, does great on leaves with exception of the smaller white...

    swivel ball on three point frozen

    Kroil cant be beat.....But if you can soak it, a can of Coka Cola can also work wonders on rusted up things.

    L3200 Hydraulic Flow

    Thanks for the continued replies. Now that I have the flow info, I know what range of controls to spec, However was looking at an electric over hydraulic approach rather than an added Control stick. I just have not decided which route to go on that. I did another post looking for overall...

    L3200HST stubborn hot crank

    Have you completely drained you tank to insure all the dirty fuel has been removed? Twice Ive had to in the last year. Last time removed the tank so I could clean it as much as possible. Even flushed all the lines with carb cleaner and air. Have you used any conditioner in your fuel to help...

    L3200HST stubborn hot crank

    Injectors were on my list of thoughts...I havent looked on this tractor,but dont assume they are terrible hard to remove and clean or just run some system cleaner in the fuel..Air filter is spotless and very strong cranking, Starter is also new as it was replaced under warranty just last year.

    L3200HST stubborn hot crank

    Ive had the misfortune of buying a few tanks of bad diesel in the past 6 months. Engine did not run long at any of the events, but each time involved having to clean the entire fuel path. I now inspect all diesel prior to purchase. Anyway, Tractor is back to running just fine, But it seem to...

    Yeah anything dealer is big profit on tractors. Id shop around for other sources of the connects and valves. I did a front loader install several years back on my old L2000 and had to fab up eveyting myself as well as cut hydraulic lines and braze on connector fittings. Ive never done a rear but...

    Thinking about an L3200/3800

    Congrats on the new toy.....reminds me of when I took delivery of mine last year. You wont regret that HST. My 3200 was my first new tractor and first with HST, wont ever go back. I also have the R4's tires for the same reasons you mentioned earlier, but had them coolant filled at the dealer...

    Southwest L3200 cost

    When I was shopping for my L3200 last year I got quotes from dealers as far away as near 1000 miles. Most dealers dont hesitate to deliver over some pretty sizeable distances, and often for peanuts. I actually was about to settle with a dealer over 800 miles away, but finally got a quote back...

    Remote on L 3200

    I bought a new L3200 back in the Spring. Though I at the moment dont have a need for rear remotes I did have it priced. Kubota wanted $1200 installed to do it. I was going to buy a setup for about $275, But they refused to install anything but OEM. I figure if I ever need it I'll do it myself...
