Looks like an oil fill. My guess if it keeps popping out is you have a vent clogged somewhere.

The strong smell issue must not be a constant or all the time condition. The bulletin reads " During certain working conditions, the LX3310 may produce a strong exhaust gas smell. " There is another TSB for injectors failing that reads " The injectors may become defective due to manufacturing...

That's not reassuring. I would like to hear from any that had the TSB performed and if it fixed the problem or not. It is apparently a pretty big service that pays the dealer over 9 hours labor.

They didn't ignore it but they weren't up front about the fix. There is a "fix as fails" TSB-2022-035-E-R2 your dealer and Kubota SHOULD have told you about. It covers the fix for 5 years from the in service date free of charge. A corporate warranty person told me about 5 different "fix as...

Chains on bucket hooks are the way to go. For 500 lb lifts you would be fine with 1/4" chain. I have a pair of 1/4" in my John Deere tool box and 5/16" chains in the Kubota. I have picked up my 1100 lb generator with the 1/4" chains and the John Deere. A couple of 10 footers is all you need...

A little more expensive but you might consider changing over to flat face. I haven't done it et but it's on my to do list.

I ran a 72" behind my John Deere 855 that also had 19 PTO HP. No problems.

Many years ago I worked at a Chevron station. This was back in the day before all gas was being sold by convenience stores and GAS stations provided service. They were more commonly called SERVICE stations. Chevron had a battery they claimed would last longer than any other. Their description...

I have the RC72-30BB on my LX3310. The wider mower actually allows you to get closer to trees but I don't push it with the cab glass in mind. I have a JD F725 front mount mower for trimming duties. I have my mirrors reversed and facing the windshield because they kept getting closed against the...

Nothing I've found beats mineral spirits. WD40 is a close second.

Should work okay. Here is a thread about this on the green tractor talk forum. https://www.greentractortalk.com/threads/box-blade-skids-skis.213344/ I made a simple drag using 2x6 PT boards and angled and flat tie plates on both sides to put them together. I probably could have just screwed...

But this one says if you have a iphone and an air tag is near that doesn't belong to you apple will notify the iphone owner via the app they are being followed. Kinda make it useless since all the thieves will have activated stolen iphones.

Interesting video on the air tag and disabling it's speaker. I don't have one of those fruity phones so I guess I couldn't use one.

LOL, I was in charge of a small fleet of vehicles for a time. I often had people wanting to know if this vehicle or that might go to the surplus auction and I always told them if they saw one with our decal on it to run away. It was through being useful or it wouldn't be there.

Sometimes it works out. I bought my backhoe off eBay 650 miles away and had it shipped. Wasn't as advertised but I got it cheap enough and fixed most of the flaws. Bought my John Deere at auction online and picked it up 60 miles north. It had never had a loader but came with controls. It too...
