Man, a guy can't complain about that for sure. I just replaced my battery in my 2016 Indian motorcycle last year. How a battery can last that long from the heat of a V-Twin air cooled engine I'll never know. It's located right behind the rear cylinder. Replaced it with a OEM battery...

My original battery in my 2014 L3200 is cranking very slow. I'm replacing it this week. Can't gripe about the longevity of this battery. Anybody know who makes the batteries for Kubota? Hat's off to them! Kubota dealer is just 8-9 miles down the road.

Watching this thread. I have same issue with a L3200 HST. I'm leaning towards debris in the fuel tank . My tractor sits for long periods of time. Changing fuel filter helps but it reverts back to the same symptoms.

Yep.. they will trap moisture/water underneath and the rusting begins. I mean those plastic liners are pretty tough but stuff does slide around and the above mentioned issue. Good quality spray in is the way to go. Go with the top names and you'll be fine.

Well I spent the day haling hay bales down to the spring/well-house to get it well insulated from the cold snap expected soon. Got the well-house surrounded and covered with a tarp so it should be good and snug for the rest of the Winter. My L3200 has been a blessing since I got it. What took me...

I have yet to see anything rusted/froze that this stuff hasn't been able to loosen up. It's an amazing product: http://www.kanolabs.com/

I was watching RFD TV and seen a ad for new, used and re-manufactured John Deere parts. I got to thinking there's got to be a similar business that offers the same for Kubota. Googled it and came up with this: https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/ Anybody ever use them? A guy could save some big...

That's what I discovered also. After putting antibacterial additive in mine the problem went away and notice small amounts of debris in the fuel filter bowl. Ran a couple of tanks thru it with additive and than changed filter. Question: what causes this algae build up.....sitting for long periods?

That would make a beautiful table top. It would check some when dried out but that's what makes it distinct.

Update: It was the cap, it was clogged up with dirt from me spilling fuel during fill ups. Dirt stuck to the fuel on the cap and spout to tank. The cap threads and spout threads where there's grooves in each for the venting was clogged with dirt. Cleaned up and problem solved. THANKS NIW!

2nd that advice! Mine did the same thing. A little light oil did the trick.

I had a stalling problem also on my L3200. The advice I got was to check the vented fuel cap and replace fuel filter. Thanks to the this website! The fuel cap was a quick and easy check so I did that first. Sure enough I had spilled diesel fuel in the past fill ups. The dirt stuck to the spilled...

Thank You for that advise. I'll check out cap and replace filter. :)

I've got a 2014 L3200 HST. This winter when clearing the driveway of snow it stalled out on me. It acted like it wasn't getting fuel. It was very cold out so I attributed to fuel gelling even thou I had treated the fuel. I limped it to the shed. I got back on it when the temps got above 40...

I have to throw in my support for Power Service to. Been using it in my 2000 F-250 since I've owned it and now my 2014 L-3200. This winter had me a little worried about the tractor starting when I need it to plow snow but it fired right up after sitting for 7 weeks. Our first major snow brought...
