Well one definitely did turn, soooooo, were it you, how would you proceed? Is it more cost effective to get a new pump, or fix what's going on with what I have? Tractor has close to 1000 hours in it.

Just to be clear, as I think was incorrect in my nomenclature, I cracked the red fittings below and inadvertently spun the yellow fittings.

No not at all, I'm happy to have answers to questions that I've had in my head for 4-5 years. In the not so strong defense of the tech at Pinnacle View Kubota in Walpole NH, he did say the pump needed to be removed and rebuilt to fully fix the problem. He also said that that would cost 3K+ to to...

From what I recall, as I tried to open the nut holding the fuel line, the part below (injector?) spun a bit until I held it with a second wrench. That's why when the service manager said he spun it back until he got the best power figure it made sense to me. Sorry I'm a bit vague, but this was...

A few years back I was having a great deal of difficulty purging the air out of the fuel line to get restarted after a service. After killing the battery, I went on YouTube to troubleshoot and found out about cracking an injector to let the air out the top of the system. Upon doing so , tractor...

I "hit the solution" thanks to the tech at my dealer, one of the safety switches needed to be open and not jumpered.

If it weren't so true I might take offense to this comment.😂 But answering genuine questions is often nice too!

Thanks, that will be helpful if it is one of the other switches, but since I have cut out the 2 seat switches it will be no good in helping with a cracked wire etc. related to those two, which given the condition, I think where the trouble lies. If I cant get it going today though, I am going to...

Oh man, not what I wanted to hear at all, electrical nor patience are my strong suits. I'll look at you links tomorrow, thanks.

This is a 2010 model, quite some time ago I was having issues with the plunger seat safety switch and then the internal one (in the cushion). From what I recall, I put a jumper in both. Yesterday, about 5 miles from home and deep in the woods, it started exhibiting the same issue as when I...

Just heard back from the service department *GASP* valve body broke internally and needs to be replaced, $1400.

I was able to disconnect the hydraulics and bleed the pressure off of them, when I reconnected I was able to inch the bucket up, I propped it up on the trailer headboard to keep it there till I offloaded at the dealer. All will be well again this week. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Here is the beast in question:

It hasn't been cold enough for that. When the bucket is disconnected and jacked up, what's a safe place to hook it to considering I'll have to drive it on/off here and at my dealer? Did all of that, see original post.

Sorry....2011 L3940, the lever will now not go into any position, so no float. It would creep up if I found a sweet spot on the lever when I last parked it and would drop when put in the float mode, but after unloading 2 sheets of 1/4" steel plate from a delivery truck, the lever is now all...
