My 2015 L 3901 is kinda pinkish, the FEL is still 90 % orange, and has never been off the tractor, and they are parked under a shed. Out of direct sunlight.

Mine finally fell off and was lost last year during bush hog changes.:unsure:

First up take out the battery. I didn't take off the FEL,wished I would have ,or block it in the up position so that is safe. I. 66 yrs old and it was a workout for me as most of the job is done from the front of the tractor, used a creeper to get up under the tractor,did it on the paved...

Just went thru this, not the steering. Oil lines to cooler. Look up my post about this. Lots of details about doing the repair for this. Did this a couple of months ago. Not too bad of a repair job. If you are hands on type . If not send to dealer. Read my post and then decide. Good luck on all...

3rd function before you commit to buying, see what a dealer install cost, you might not need it now. Grapple to go with 3rd function ,absolute necessity, don't care which brand you buy,,research the cost and try to get dealer to give package deal on all this before you buy. If it's not in the...

Done! 3 days,not all on the tractor Best advice, Harbor Freight Hose Pliers, 11,99 for 3 sizes,absolutely would have been unable to slide hoses up on the 2 inlet,2 outlet fittings on the cooler and engine fittings. The reason for this is the hose clamps were done so tight they distorted the...

Looking at the 2 that I got they are specially formed, both Inlet and Return hoses,and the Return has different diameters at both ends. I turn 66 today and retired today and this hose job is happening tomorrow. Glad I bought 2 sets. Good luck to all on your projects!!!

Did it work? Trying to post photo of Kubota Oil Cooler hoses for L 3901 HST

Yes will post hose info when I get them . Messicks tech agreed about getting 2 sets because he had to get them from another dealer

Ordered 2 sets today,1 was in stock,other set ordered from elsewhere 96.00 for both sets, 1 set by Wednesday, hopefully. Tech at Messicks had to work for this one,20 minutes on the phone really good conversation,he had to really look for the upper hose ,evidently their manuals may be a little...

Smart phone dumb and computer illiterate, but have managed to find on page 571 procedure for getting started on replacing hoses. Tablet doesn't work like computer,on search it gave 70 references to "oil line cooler",but highlighted the text when you flipped past pages. But I found a good start...

Many thanks to those who sent WSM,and to those who replied. Calling Messicks tomorrow to see if I can get 2 sets of hoses, 1 set for spare parts as this could be an issue in another few years, hate to need them later only to discover they are discontinued. How the heck do you find the section...

Just reread the Owners manual,check every 200 hrs,replace every 2 years,note in row 14, on page 56, Last column,the number 4, go to page 86 to see note 4 says," Replacing Oil Cooler-Line ( HST Type) Consult your local Kubota dealer for this service" . Should a read the fine print.!!! What you...

Thanks to all who replied. From what I can see,the upper clamps are the spring clip type,the only lower I can see has a hose clamp on it,it is the one that is cracked and leaking,the illustration clears a lot for me, will have to look tomorrow again at the front radiator/oil coolers,there are 2...

Anyone ever done this. Every 2 yrs replace per Operations Manual. Mine is leaking ,can see it underneath from tractor while running. Looks like more than I can deal with. If anyone has or knows about doing this job on 2015 L3901, I would really be interested in learning. If it's a dealer job...
