    Can you repair an adjustable sidelink?

    I can't spin it if I hold it. I took it apart. Gears look great. Nothing broken....looks the it bent and maybe cross threaded or something. Honestly, I don't know how that could have happen. Maybe tomorrow I'll clamp it in the vice and try to seperate the parts with a pipe wrench...I assume...

    Can you repair an adjustable sidelink?

    Hello, I've got an adjustable sidelink thats busted. I tried to adjust with the snowblower on it...apparently it was too much weight. When mounted, the handle will not turn. If I take off tractor the bottom spins in circles but the length does not change at all. You think its possible/worth...

    L3130 Manual : Extremely hard to shift in and out of 4wd

    The tires are not new/changed recently. I've had the tractor for 3-4 years and I feel like its gotten worse the last month or so. I need an approach that will work when I have a loader full of stuff.

    L3130 Manual : Extremely hard to shift in and out of 4wd

    Hello everyone, I have an L3130 with the manual transmissions (not shuttle shift). The last few times I've used the tractor I've found it almost impossible to shift in and out of 4wd. I had to give up and then try 15 minutes later...sometimes it worked then, sometimes I waited another 15...

    Newbie Questions about clutch and pto

    So here is the rub. Most of the time I am doing forward and backward shifting. With heavy loads I need to have high rpms to lift but, basically just because of my experience with cars, it feels like it would be too high to drop on the clutch. It also feels like I shouldn't feather in the...

    Newbie Questions about clutch and pto

    Newbie Questions about clutch and pto

    Sorry...I have the 8 speed. I never shift while moving however I've never thought about it. I've never traveled at high speeds either. Even when you are in 8th gear you start from a stand still? My question was really just wondering how bad it is to feather the clutch. When I'm driving a car...

    Newbie Questions about clutch and pto

    Hello everyone, I've recently got my first tractor, a L3130. I had a few newbie questions... 1) Its a manual. When I've been shifting, I notice it feels weird to be partially engaged, so I tend to try to avoid it. I bring down the RPMs to make the shift as fast/gentle as possible. Does...

    I think I broke this adjuster for the 3 point hitch. Can it be repaired?

    Hello everyone, I have a L3130 which had a snowblower on the 3pt for the winter. I used this device (see attached photo) to correct the tilt. However, when I was doing that I think I put too much weight/torque on it and it stopped moving/locked up. Any suggestions if this is something that...

    What valve for 3pt snow blower discharge chute?

    First, thank you so much for the diagram. I didn't realize what was involved. I've looked it over a few times now and if you would not mind, I would really appreciate some clarification. I'm completely new to this. 1) As seen in my picture I don't have a PB line currently on my loader valve...

    What valve for 3pt snow blower discharge chute?

    I can take the motor off and see how fast it spins once I get the plumbing done. The L3130 has a 1.5. My research says the hydraulic pump runs 31.5 liters per minute (8.3 gpm). So what exactly are my search terms for this valve? I require the directional controls because the chute does not...
