I recently replaced a bad bearing on the end of blower driveshaft that drives the number 60 chain. When I adjusted the chain with 1/2” play I checked it by manually turning the auger in direction of rotation a complete revolution checking tension at 12 o'clock, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock and it was 1/2”...

Dealer had bearing in stock and also purchased a chain link/lock just in case old one had issues removing. Needed my press to remove and install bearing. Seated against chain gear as originally but when I cleaned L bracket I noticed driveshaft was starting to wear a hole in the metal from being...

Thanks for your help. Assuming between sprocket and bearing? I noticed that the replacement shaft has sprocket welded to it. Chain looks close to collar in pictures. Got a snow prediction of 6” tomorrow and hopefully Kubota dealer has one in stock. If not maybe just order one from Amazon?

I heard a clunking from the blower and investigated and figured out the bearing (left rear) is bad. It would clunk every 360* revolution. F206 Mfg CX bearing. Kubota part # 77700-00959 and Messicks shows that the replacement has 2 set screws which I can’t see on the blower? Under gear? Any...

My brother found this one on the green tractor forum. Dolly fo H120 FEL

Helps tremendously! Each brick weighs 22.5# X 30 = 675# plus 300# for the blade. Great with FEL and front snowblower and traction in the winter. I didn’t want ballast in tires or chains. Also grooved tires!

Hello everyone, every winter I remove my loader and install my front snowblower. I use 4 dollies that are attached in pairs with 2x2’s. I jack up my loader with floor jacks and two 3.5x3.5” blocks between the stand mount and the boom towards the front and use a pair of dolly’s under the bucket...

And this website sells the turbo claiming it’s for my model? https://www.huparts.com/for-kubota-tractor-l3240-l3940-l4240-l5740-b3350-engine-v2607-turbo-rhf3h-turbocharger-1j70017010-1j70017017-for-sale-online

Next two hp sizes up, 5240 comes with a turbo stock. 🤔 https://messicks.com/ku/87265

Wondering if anyone has performed a turbo upfit-upgrade on one of these? I think the boost would come in handy with my front snowblower on my hilly driveway. It is a interim tier 4 without the catalytic converter and dpmf. Thanks

I’d sure like to ask this Central Division Service Manager why some do it and some don’t? You’d think there’s an internal memo, technical service bulletin or something about it other than the blanket answer that it’s normal.

I’d love to have your setup! 60 hp and hydraulic blower! Big $$$ plus you can raise your fel for drifts. Mine was $3500 used plus $400 for mid PTO. I agree with your pusher assessment.

Mine starts promptly. Thanks

Hi Dave, mine is a HST not a Shuttle Shift. Did you modify yours for air temperature? ”When the engine then cranks it is inhaling very cold air and the warm block is not helping.” It helps mine, that’s why I use it. When I use the block heater my glow plug time is shortened and it starts...

I know this is an old thread but my 2012 L4240HstC-3 does the same thing, lots of white smoke below 46* and stumbles for about 10 seconds. I too have taken videos and showed them to the service manager at my local kubota dealer. He says it’s normal for Intrim Tier-4 engine. Then I purchased a...
