Understood, and that is why I'm gonna do the test (weather permitting)

Because I'm not sure the tires on my tractor are correct. (420/70-24 rear and 10-16.5 front) Handles like a pig on ice in snow! So, I'm gonna run the test and establish my baseline.

BINGO! and that is why I was asking for the mechanical ratio. There are several online calculators that allow for "plugging in" your ratio, and then front/ rear tire combos, with the result being your lead/lag. (but, you have to supply the loaded RC for any specific tire) I'm still waiting to...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm still waiting for the ice to subside so I can run the rolling test to determine the lead / lag I have now with the R4 industrial lugs. I'm gonna attach the .pdf from firestone that I am using for this test. (hopefully that's allowed)

Why is this info not available for Kubotas? I have asked two different dealers and both say Kubota does not supply that info. Am I missing something? Just trying to source different tires/rims for my L3130 HST. Has Industrial lugs on it now. Want to replace with Ag when the time comes. (soon)...

Pulled one of the bolts that hold my bracket to the bell housing. 8.8 X 1.5 40mm long :)

Went out to the shop and retreived the Model L1700 Parts and Owner Manual. Unfortunatly it does not conatain any of the information on the actual bracketry mounted to the tractor. I'll take some pics and post here if you think that will help?

Coming in late here, but I have a 1979 L245DT with the factory loader. I have the loader manual if it will help you.

These last few pics are of the brush guard. I welded it to the sub frame front mount, as I plan on leaving the mount on the tractor. The mount doesn't stick down far enough to cause any ground clearance issues. I had what was left off a factory brush guard, so used that as a starting point.

Here is the relocated PTO selector lever and the old trusty Craftsman tool box:)

Reworked my old snow plow to fit the quick tach snow blower sub frame. Cut most of the old A frame off and fabbed up a receiver box (like the snow blower). Had to weld a lug on the side of the quick tach snout to accomadate my angle cylinder. Also had to relocate the locking handle as it...

Before and after pics of clutch pedal and 4x4 engagement lever. In the last pic you can also see the modification to the turn signal lever (kept hitting it with my knee while dismounting)

Next up was a couple of safety stops for the loader cylinders. Sliced a length of 1-1/2" X 1/4" square tubing. Added some self stick felt pieces where they rest on the piston rod. They store on top of the loader support arms when not in use.

First thing was to make step that was usable for my size 15 boots:eek: (after previewing the thumbnails, looks like I need some help uploading a properly rotated pic)

Howdy folks, I purchased this low hour (~600 hrs) tractor late last October. My old 1979 L245DT with ~4000hrs is getting tired. My new to me L3130 just needed a good cleaning and all around get to know it inspection. I have made several modifications to the tractor to improve (for me) the...
