    L3350, L3750 PTO Guard

    You're not the first person who has told me that. The Messick's salesman who sold me the Woods 5ft. Brush Bull said the same thing. I borrowed a neighbor's implement a couple times, I never gave it a thought either, just happened see a picture with the guard in place after I made my purchase...

    L3350, L3750 PTO Guard

    Still no luck on finding one. Looks like the same part number for quite a few different models. L3350 L3750 L4150 L4350 L4850 L5450

    L3350, L3750 PTO Guard

    Thanks to all who helped me solve my Battery/Starter Helper Relay problem. Now that the tractor starts when I turn the key, I was planning on using a rotary cutter to clean up several fields that have went untouched for a number of years. As I was checking out the PTO and 3 point hitch...

    L3350 Battery Replacement Options

    Thanks to all who have responded, the starter helper relay did the trick. I did same on my TG1860 with much smaller wire and more safety switches in series, never thought it was applicable on an old 1986 L3350.

    L3350 Battery Replacement Options

    Thanks for the response, I've done the starter helper relay on my TG1860. As mentioned, tractor has sat for almost a year under a car port. I do hear the solenoid click when I turn the key. I'll check the safety switches and test the starter and solenoid, thanks again.

    L3350 Battery Replacement Options

    I ended up going with an Interstate Group 31 battery. Cables all cleaned up, turned the key for the first time in nearly a year, I heard the starter and fuel solenoid click, but the starter didn't turn. After turning the key on/off a few times eventually the starter engaged and tractor...

    L3350 Battery Replacement Options

    Thank you to all who have responded. The current battery has no information on it, just a black case with the word Second etched in the case. Most of the Group 29 batteries I found were Marine batteries. Looking at Group 27 battery at Tractor Supply, physical size is close to current, 810...

    L3350 Battery Replacement Options

    Are there any L3350 battery options other than the Kubota battery, part # 77700-00454 that's still available? Not opposed to getting one from the dealership, I was hoping for something quicker than ordering from dealer, waiting a few days for shipping, making the half hour drive to pick it up...

    Replacing Bucket with Quick Attach Skid Steer Bucket

    Thanks again,, have not chosen the SSQA adapter yet, still in discovery phase, any suggestions surely welcome. What you said about the right geometry I guess was the real purpose of question, although you phrased it much better. OEM Kubota buckets aside, what makes an aftermarket SSQA bucket a...

    Replacing Bucket with Quick Attach Skid Steer Bucket

    Thanks for the reply. Most everything I see when I search Quick Attach buckets pertains to skid steers, not tractor buckets. Is there one in particular you could point me towards as a starting point?

    Replacing Bucket with Quick Attach Skid Steer Bucket

    I have an older L3350 with BF900 loader. Bucket is not in best of shape, thinking about adding one of those quick attach adapters and using a more readily available skid steer bucket. Other than the cost of the adapter, added weight of the adapter taking away load lift capacity, are there any...

    L3350/BF800 Loader Issues

    Fluid level is fine. I would say the loader was in a state of decline leading up to when this issue started. The loader control valve cover has a slot that the operating lever sits in, and with the cover on, moving the operating lever up and down or side to side within that slot produced...

    L3350/BF800 Loader Issues

    Thanks for your suggestions, I did try reseating the quick disconnects some time back no change. I do have the workshop manual, no mention of a screen, just filter and magnetic drain plug. Although I've never removed the loader, I've always been unsure of how to reconnect hoses after removal...

    L3350/BF800 Loader Issues

    Hello all, I am second owner (since 1994) of an L3350 with BF800 loader. Tractor and loader used mostly for pushing fill dirt, stone and gravel, snow removal. With the hour meter cable broke for a while, I'd estimate about 1000 hrs. on it, maybe a little less. About 6 years ago, loader started...
