    Water in Hydraulic Fluid

    That's good to know. The op was probably just fine then but I just drained my machine and I'm guessing it was easily a pint of water in there, if not a bit more. Got it out just before the freeze hit overnight. So the only question i can think of is whether there are still tiny bits of water in...

    Water in Hydraulic Fluid

    Hi guys hope you don't mind me resurrecting an old thread but I have a similar situation. Total bonehead move on my part, as I had a pail of hydraulic fluid that was left outside and it was only after I started topping it off that I noticed it was so runny (aka water got in there). In my case...

    Turnbuckle for check chains l3901

    Lost the "horseshoe & pin" assembly for the check chains to my l3901 three point hitch. See circle in attached photo. Rookie mistake first time i attached it and i didn't bend back the cotter pins. Anyway... The local dealership says i have to buy the whole assembly (parts 20, 60,70 and80)...

    Fuel filter complete vs Fuel element for L3901

    I was referring to water concentrations - a miniscule amount of steam being worth using the affitibe whereas a lot if steam would make the affitibe detrimental. But it seems your opinion is well established Thx

    Fuel filter complete vs Fuel element for L3901

    Do i take this to mean that, even with the separator not full, water still sits in the bottom of the tank? The water separator doesn't fill up first(it's not effectively the lowest point)?

    Fuel filter complete vs Fuel element for L3901

    Would it be safe to say that, in very small concentrations, the additive can be your friend, as this steam effect is negligible...whereas at higher concentrations, the additive turns into an enemy?

    Fuel filter complete vs Fuel element for L3901

    So here's my separator (attached pic). The water line is just a hair below the DRAIN line. Is it reasonably safe, then, to just drain and bleed and not worry about the fuel filter? Can one reasonably assume the water is all in this separator and NOT in the fuel line? I'd be thrilled to not...

    Fuel filter complete vs Fuel element for L3901

    Well I DID add seafoam... but that simply absorbs the water from what I understand. But really, my question is about entire filter with housing vs just the filter element.

    Fuel filter complete vs Fuel element for L3901

    Hello folks First post here. Back in March, I became the proud owner of a new Kubota L3901 tractor and I'm intent on being meticulous with maintenance and upkeep on this beauty. I'm fairly novice with engine maintenance but keen to learn. Having said that, about two weeks ago, I did do a...
