Anyone ever replace the rear PTO shaft on a L3400 gear drive? Broke off flush after lowering a 60" tiller with too long of a driveshaft. Looks like it might be as easy as removing the 4 bolts and pulling the whole thing out and replacing the shaft. Might have a pressed on bearing which won't be...

Took the L260 for its maiden voyage last weekend and after about a half hour or so when I was pulling it back into the garage the low oil pressure light came on. So I drained the oil then and there and tonight I opened up the side access panel and here is what I found. Mind you, this is after 2...

Does anyone see an issue with rewiring the glow plug circuit to it's own momentary switch so I can continue to glow the plugs while cranking on the starter? Only downside I can see is that I would loose some amperage to the starter. There are no timers on this old L260 so the rewire will be a...

Got the L260 running after a long wait on parts (several orders). Excessive smoke while trying to start. Takes quite a bit of cranking, so much that I have to wait for the smoke to clear before I attempt to start again. Once started it has some consistent white smoke. Doesn't seem to matter the...

What should I expect to pay to have my radiator boiled out, repaired and pressure checked at a independent radiator shop? Thanks, Phil

Hey all, Still working on the L260 I picked up a few weeks ago. Having the radiator boiled out and checked/repaired for leaks. Figured I would check the thermostat to see if it was in need of replacement and here is what I found... Is there any damage that could have been done from running...

Hey Everyone, On the L260 I recently acquired I noticed when I glow the plugs, the indicator coil never glows orange like on my B8200. I can feel a slight warmth when glowing but doesn't seem to be doing much. Other than a weak battery or maybe it is just warn out, does anyone know why this...

Hello All, I recently picked up a Kubota L260 and I'm in the process of changing all the fluids and I noticed that the injector pump has 2 dip sticks, one on the left and one on the right. I'm trying to determine what type of fluid is used in the pump and why there are two different dipsticks...

Anybody out there build your own log skidder for your 3 Point Hitch? Looking for pics or plans. Picked up these skidder tongs for $40 new and want to make a skidder. Thanks, Phil

Hi All, Looking to fix the twist collar on the rotary cutter PTO drive shaft. It is the one on the tractor end. Cant seem to tell if there are different makes or if they are universal. It has 3 balls (one is currently missing). It is off a FarmStar Rotary Cutter. I have the part number but...

My buddy's L245 has been leaking fuel from around the fuel delivery valve holders on top of the injector pump. The previous owner had gasket sealer around them trying to fix the leak but didn't work. I took the holders off and replace the copper seals which are nothing more than a copper...

Just about done with the orange, have to wait till spring for the blue. A few pics from when I first bought it, After a few upgrades, And how it sits today.

In the process or repainting. Ran out of good weather so I'll do the frame and ROPS in the spring. Decided to have the foot plates, battery box and most of the fenders Line-X'd. Also just mounted new front tires last night on new wheels.

I'm looking for two 12"x7" front wheels for my B8200E that I can mount my 23"x8.50"-12" R4's on. My current wheels have turfs on them and thought about swapping the tires on those but they are the 2 piece wheels which I would rather not take apart. Anyone have any experience with these two...

Had a good 6 inches of snow last night, thats alot for Missouri, probably not much for you northerners, and finally got to try out the 6 foot blade I refinished. She works great. Lost headlights, taillights and auxillary's bout 3/4 the way through. Guess I'll need to break out the ol' wiring...

Hey all, Finished restoring my 6 foot blade. Thought I'd share a few pics. It had some serious rust in a few spots behind the cutting edge. Had to grind down to good metal and fill in with the MIG welder. Used over a pound of wire. Primed with brown primer and painted with Majic brand Kubota...

Hey Guys, I'm going to be repainting this spring and want to know what is a good size and type of sand blasting media to use for getting the old paint off? I bought a new 90LB tank sand blaster and i'm unsure on which media to use. Has anyone had any experience with this? I plan on priming and...
