    Heater blower stopped working

    We didn't just unplug it because the plug wouldnt fit above the headliner. Clearly that was a bad decision. Any idea where the fuses are? i have the service manual but it isnt very clear electrically.

    Heater blower stopped working

    I recently removed the radio from my 2005 B 3030 with a cab. The radio wasn’t working anyway, I literally just cut the harness behind it. Tucked it up with tape so that way there was no bare wires, touching anything. Didn't think any of it, but several weeks have gone by and now when i hit the...

    Best way to route hydraulic lines

    I have the B3030 and I have the top and tilt kit that I am installing for my rear remotes. I bought 2 foot long hoses for both pistons. The top seems totally fine. The tilt cylinder if you point them to the right, they go behind the tire before connecting to the rear remotes. I am thinking...

    3 point hitch adjustments

    Thanks for the tips. For what its worth, I started here in the forums to verify the length. When I operate it, I will fgure out if it is too long for sure. If it is then maybe a replacement. That said, here is a snipit from that post: Current Range of Manual Links: Top: 17 1/4 - 26 3/4...

    3 point hitch adjustments

    Hi I am adding rear remote hydraulics to my b3030. In the process of working on the top link i can see how the quick hitch frame is in contact with the adjustment latch of the lower arms of the 3 point. Here are a couple pictures. I was wondering if there are recommended adjustments here to...

    B3030 Top and Tilt Hydraulics - 3 Point Rear Remotes

    Yeah, I was thinking that I will just buy the Kubota cylinder. Its like 600 ish bucks, so making me nuts. I have not done any welding for like 25 years and not sure I want to start again with this. The next real question is going to be the check valve? I really like the idea of it but what...

    Plastic roof repair on b3030

    I had the opportunity to buy a b3030 with a cab and it has a couple of good breaks in the roof at the front. I used epoxy to seal up the cracks, I was thinking about using RV roof tap to cover above the seam to give the roof some extra protection. I wanted to see what you all thought about...

    B2650 vs b3030

    I am looking for a used cab tractor. The b3030 seems like a good solid machine but similarly priced to the 2650. The 2650 is roughly 10 years newer. Any reason to go with one model over the other assuming prices similarly with similar low hours? Thanks for your perspectives.

    1989 b8200 block heater question
