    L3800 coolant change, 4 quarts out six quarts in?

    Hard to say exactly as after the initial drain I started filling and flushing. The first one was still pretty green so I bottled it for disposal. I thought the same thing but after 4-5 flushes and adding new, getting hot and rechecking nothing went down.

    L3800 coolant change, 4 quarts out six quarts in?

    Drained my coolant and flushed out the system until I had clean water coming out. When I went to fill it up, only took 4 quarts not the the 6.4 in the manual. Manual doesn't say anything about a block drain or anything about getting residual fluid out. So 25% is straight water. Thinking about...

    Leak at front wheel /axle L3800

    Looks like I got lucky on two fronts. The pressure washer just needed the carb cleaned up, pump is ok. So I got the mud off of it and this is what I found. Doesn't appear to be at the axle, looks like it is a leaking hydraulic hose going to the loader dripping down on the ground, short one...

    Leak at front wheel /axle L3800

    I'm going to try to get it cleaned up soon. Have a Yamaha pressure washer that decided it doesn't want to work, so I pulled the carb and have it soaking. It's a good unit but it has always been a slight pain to get started. I'll use the hose if the pressure washer repair becomes extended. Post...

    Leak at front wheel /axle L3800

    I figured it was probably gear box leak. In the middle of a few projects. Was hoping for some input on how hard the fix is and possible parts needed, Just a gasket or seal?

    Bradco compact or full size pallet fork on a L3800

    Trying to decide between the compact or full size pallet fork for an L3800. Price is about the same. Dealer is shooting a pretty good price on the full size with 48" tines, $825. Compact would be about the same. The compact is rated #2300, which is almost double the lift capacity of the tractor...

    Rotary cutter for a l3800

    That is the same FEL I was getting. So I guess if you go 66" on the bucket you have to go with the larger cutter or you run into the same issue along a fence line. Can you get the 60" FEL with QR? I think your going to max out the 60" bucket anyways with a #900 capacity.

    Rotary cutter for a l3800

    I'm buying an L3800 and trying to decide on a cutter. The dealer is recommending a 66" cutter. It looks like the tractor is 55" wide at the wheels. It seems to me a 60" would be ok. Is a 60" to close along a fence line, sticking out only 2-1/2" a side? It's about another $500 to go from 60 to...

    Southwest L3200 cost

    Looking for an L3200. 4 WD, HST, FEL, bush hog, box scraper. Anybody work with any dealers in the southwest? They don't seem as motivated as back east or the midwest. List price seems to be the answer I've gotten from a few. Wasn't looking new but the 0 finance this month would work for the...
