    L3901HST tractor no start.

    This post makes me glad I bought my tractor before the new restrictive rules kicked in. I am learning that computers can cause all sorts of problems.

    L3901HST tractor no start.

    "Pardon me but I actually own a L3901 and I don't know if there is a safety interlock condition that will let it crank but not start I can't rule it out. Can you?" Yes I can. If you leave your PTO on or the tractor in gear will the starter engage? Mine will not.

    L3901HST tractor no start.

    I did not mean to step on any toes. I base my comments on my experience with a 2007 L2800. Please forgive me for offering another possible option.

    L3901HST tractor no start.

    Pardon me chiming in but the OP stated that it would crank but not start. My L2800 will not crank if a safety switch is not working. Have you checked for fuel delivery? That is where I would start.

    Limb saw for my FEL

    Thanks for your reply. I have the GPM to handle either type. Comparisons to an unspecified off brand tractor or bobcat do not help me here. I doubt my tractor has the high flow for a 36 inch blade.

    Limb saw for my FEL

    While I appreciate the replies thus far I was asking for feedback from anyone who has either owned a limb saw or used one mounted on the FEL( mine is SSQA). Things like installation of a hydraulic power beyond block, hose routing, mounting of the boom unit (weld or bolt-on) and tips on using it...

    Limb saw for my FEL

    I am currently looking at purchasing a limb saw for installation on my FEl. I have a capacity of 6.5 GPM on my L2800. I have looked at both chainsaw type and circular blade type. I am looking for feedback from those of you who have experience with either type and the pros and cons of each...

    PTO Speed

    Like you I live in central NC. Mowing now will fill your screen and radiator with seeds and chaff. My 2800 will overheat after about 6 hours.. Don't keep mowing, stop and clean off the radiator and screen when you start getting a hot gauge reading. If your belt is needing replacement you...

    Bucket teeth

    Glad to hear someone besides me has benefited from a tooth bar. I put one on my 6' SSQA grain bucket and am amazed with its usefulness every time I use the FEL. It is great for getting rid of privet and other unwanted stuff and it increases the earth moving capabilities by a bunch. With...

    Any fellow bird nerds here?

    I wish I had the ability to make photographs of this quality. I have bluebirds as well as all the central NC locals (cardinals, wrens, bluejays,mockingbirds, thrashers, mourning doves and others) . I also see a pair of painted grosbeaks in the spring, probably on their way to our...

    What's this doohickey called?

    I have used those. Not designed to be repaired if it is installed with heat into plastic. Replace the assembly.

    Valve stem damage using washer fluid as ballast

    Air / Liquid stems are designed specifically to be used with liquid ballast and are an industry standard for any liquid ballast. They usually have a 2-piece construction which allows the upper half (the valve core housing), to be removed allowing access to the larger bore (the lower half), for...

    Daily Chuckle

    Looks like he is on his third bar and chain. Hope he got a good deal on quantity.

    Daily Chuckle

    Hope this is just a joke. Looks a bit too far to use scab plates unless you plan to add support.
