I bought my L3010 last year and it had the same problem. Bottom 2 fuses in the fusebox were corroded. I tried finding the correct electrical terminals to put in the box, but it never worked out. I ended up adding a second, small fusebox to make a permanent repair. Joe

In every one of those instances I'd be terrified of the flywheel shattering. You only have to see that once to gain a healthy respect for it. Joe

Glad that worked out for the best! Better a tie rod end than a ball joint/bearing/or whatever else that wheel pivots on. Joe

If you didn't bleed the fuel system after replacing the fuel filter, you've just diagnosed it. Your symptoms exactly match what will happen when you don't. Follow the procedure posted by Dave and you'll be all set. Joe

Any chance anyone has a picture of the diagnostic connector on their Tier 4 Kubota? I'm in need of one. Thanks! Joe

Glad that worked out! Joe

Almost all auto manufacturers are protecting their cars with secure gateway modules. It's been working well so far. Like anything though, I'm sure it'll be defeated eventually. Joe

They can already do that, and more. https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

It might not be a voltage spike that's killing them. Weak batteries also allow there to be more AC ripple from the alternator. They all leak AC voltage. We did a bunch of testing on that in the mid 90s on cars/pickups when aftermarket engine controllers were first hitting the market. There...

The migrators got here a few days ago. A good mix of males and females have been feeding most of the day in the back lawn. In in Central NC, but not far south of the Virginia line. It's nice to see them back. I was just in Atlanta and the males are already singing and setting up...

I've never tried 2 link chain, but it sounds like I should give it a go. I've got double ring duo on my Ford 871D with Ag tires. They really do grab. Once I switched to them I never looked for anything else. This Kubota is my first tractor with turf tires. also my first 4WD tractor. Here...

Anything is possible, but it's really unlikely. Looks like you're going back in.

No, but find a place that can help you get the right ones. I like the double ring duo style chains and will get a set for my L3010, but you're going to need to make sure you have clearance for them, or any others you put on there. The cool thing though is that any chains will be great in...

That's a REALLY good idea! I've always used wood. Sometimes plywood. Sometimes planks. whatever was handy. I've got an old Rumely DoAll on steel wheels. The cleats on it are big and it makes short work of plywood, and tosses ramps out from under it like it's allergic to them :D. Those big...

Speaking for only myself, I think it is as simple as this: When you are in 4WD and have good traction, which happens at times even when things are slippery, you will get driveline bind on uneven ground or when turning. Driveline bind had to be relieved at the weakest link, which is virtually...
