i have the same tractor. This happened to me once, well, not the tractor jerking and stalling. Shut it down after mowing and wouldn’t start. Moved the PTO lever back and forth - nothing. Took can of lube spray w/straw, sprayed some into jacket around cable at PTO lever. Crawled under where...

Changed the coolant, greased loader arms and top link of 3ph and greased the PTO on the shredder to be ready to go for the season.

I purchased a used Armstrong Ag ballast box a while back for my L2501. The box is close to 200#s alone. I thought about concrete and gravel but how to remove if I wanted? Gravel could be dumped but then you’d have to shovel it back in when needed, I went to local Home Depot and picked up...

I run a L2501 HST w/ LA525 FEL. I have a ballast box that is ~1000#s and the quick hitch adds about another 70#s to the lower link arms. If I read the manual correctly the max weight for the arms is 1985#s. The loader supposedly is My question - if I put ~800#s on the FEL (forks and load)...

The fluid is clear but it does have a slight amber color so it makes it hard to tell. However, if the spot is as white as the message box you are seeing my response in, it is low. If it has any other color tone it is high.

I have a L2501 but pretty sure the 3901 is similar In this regard. I got a cheap aluminum pan (the kind you place a turkey in) and put it up against the tire. Then, propped a funnel with long throat (8” or so) under the drain plug and placed the end of the throat against the edge of the pan so...

Are you close to a dealer? I know the last time I walked into my Kubota dealer (3 weeks back) they had them on a shelf right in front of the parts desk.

Not sure which finish mower you have but the FDR16 has this in its feature document… Lower hitch points adjust in and out Accommodates many tractor configurations by adjusting in and out. So, as everyone said switch them.

As my late father back in the day used to joke when his farm needed rain… You could watch it pour all the way to the fence line, part like the Red Sea and rejoin back together at the other fence line. Pulling for you. It can‘t avoid you forever.

At 192 hours, but before I get to the 200 hour maintenance window, I decided to change the front axle fluid to 80w-90 gear oil. I recently had back surgery and per doc I am still limited on bending, twisting. I could do this without having to stoop, twist, crawl on the ground, or lay on back...

Glad to hear she’s running for you again.

Yesterday, not today… Thermometer hanging in pole barn read 102. Decided it was a good day to grease all fittings on chipper and shredder (the only two things that run off PTO and not stored outside the barn. Pulled apart PTO shafts on both and greased them, too. The only fitting I couldn’t...

Yep, been there, done that - several times. No issues seen, yet.

Yeah, something about that cotter pin. I found a JD green one on the foot deck of my L2501 a few months after I bought it. Searched all over looking for it’s source and nothing. Placed it in toolbox thinking I would find where it goes sooner or later. The pivot pin worked itself out a few...
