    HELP with stock L4060 seat - too soft a ride

    Dealer told me the reason the seat was acting like this was because I needed to fill the tires with water. He said this after I told him my L4740 seat was great. He knew the L4740 had filled tires. Total BS but I was planning to fill the tires so I agreed to do that and let him know how the seat...

    HELP with stock L4060 seat - too soft a ride

    I recently picked up a new L4060 open station with loader. Really like the tractor but the seat is a nightmare. I have adjusted it to be as stiff as it will go but I still bottom out and bounce around over the slightest bumps in the road. I have a L4740 and have loved that seat (factory, no...

    New Hydraulic pump, loud whining sound, L4740

    I replaced the pump along with all the gears and bearings (new o-rings too). I had to replace them, they were chewed up and missing teeth from the original pump breaking. I’ll make a video of the sound and post it. Thanks for the suggestions.

    New Hydraulic pump, loud whining sound, L4740

    It’s not the same sound as the relief valve opening, definitely not that loud or harsh sounding. I agree, it sounds like it could be “dead heading” . I disassembled the 3rd function valve and checked It because it was sticking occasionally. I didn’t see any problems but it’s still sticks...

    New Hydraulic pump, loud whining sound, L4740

    A few weeks ago I posted about the hydraulic pump on my L4740HST crapping out on me. Ordered the replacement, Kubota OEM pump and had it installed by a buddy that is a mechanic for the local Kubota dealership. All the hydraulics seem to be working great… HST, loader, pto, 3-pt lift, rear...

    L4740 HST - all hydraulics suddenly stopped working

    Thanks for the responses. I checked those things and found no leaks and the tractor was full of fluid. I changed the filters (original gray filters w/ 870 hrs on the machine… fyi - I bought it used and did not notice the original filters were still on it… dope!) to rule out clogged filters and...

    Blown head gasket L3010; D1503 engine

    I have a 2002 L3010 and I believe it over heated and we blew the head gasket. Anyone out there have any experience doing this repair? The tractor has 2300 hrs on it but I’d like to repair it if I think I can do it myself and just pay for parts. I’m somewhat mechanically inclined, rebuilt a...

    Who has R14 tires?

    I’ve got the R14 tires on my B2601. The tractor is 3 months old with about 35 hours on it. They have handled everything I’ve put them through without a hitch. They give me excellent traction when using my 58” tiller, set almost on the deepest setting. I had a huge tree fall in the back part...
