That is what I can’t understand. I removed the vent and nothing happened. There is another zerk on the opposite side of the vent ( very front, right side) and when you grease there, grease comes out the vent. But nothing comes out the vent when I use the zerk in the picture. Grease is...

There is a Front Axle support grease fitting just behind the front axle in my MX5400 unlike the other grease points where I pump grease in until it squirts out somewhere else, where is this grease going? I have pumped and pumped but don’t seem to be able to fill up wherever it is going . Do I...

I was able to speak with the folks at WR Long. They were GREAT!!! Stated exactly what y’all have been saying. Most likely a bad control board. Very unlikely that the solenoid was bad with so few hours on the tractor. I ordered the $75 board and replaced it in about 20-30 minutes. Will have to...

Great idea. Thanks

Just found my invoice. It is a WR Long 3rd function valve. VKKULA1065ANC Now to find exactly what it is that was shorting out

My 3rd function has been making an unusual noise for months now. Working OK but intermittently making a clicking noise. Finally got it into the Kubota place. Evidently the solenoid has been shorting out. That was the noise. But they quoted $1700 to replace the 3rd function!! Can the solenoid...

where is that solenoid located?

Ok, that sounds like a plan. Can you help me understand where I might find that coil?

Bump This to the top. The clatter is not too loud but definitely something is going on. The question is, do I need to take it in to the mechanic? Is it likely damaging anything?

I am going to try to link to the video. You can hear the noise about 5 secs into the video. I hope this works https://youtube.com/shorts/MjyGBtgMYFA?feature=share

I have a video with audio but although I can post a picture, am I able to post a video to this site? Attach files seems to only allow the posting of an image, not video. Jimmy

Being a relative tractor newbie, the problem obviously is knowing when something needs to be checked out before more damage is done. Unlike my car, I can’t just stop in at the my local mechanic’s shop and have him listen, ha. And, I haven’t found a tractor mechanic that makes “farm calls”
