As a side story, my dad & I have done business with these guys off & on for over 20 years. A family member bought a bx series with loader & mower from them a few years ago...the widow in the original post.. I have had a few friends that I went to high school work there in the past but for...

I have some AR400 I can weld as a stop. I just feel like the dealer screwed up & won't own up to it. I know/knew the original owner, he was a Kubota employee at the time of purchase. He is not here to say what he did or didn't do so we'll never know. I realize it's on me to fix. While not as...

I have seen others with this problem in the past. My dealer isn't too excited to help with the issue, understandable since I'm the 2nd owner & the tractor is 13 years old. I feel like Kubota/ the dealer has the responsibility to make it right since they're the one that sold it with the wrong...

Using the loader to set up the trusses. I had a L225 before I bought the L3430, used it for almost 10 years & don't know why I wanted so long to upgrade. I'll never own a tractor w/o a loader & 4wd again. Yeah, they're a little furry this time of year.

The horses are the better 1/2's hobbie. To me they are the quickest way to turn $100 bill into a nice round turd. When I bought the place 20 years ago I wanted a place in the country where I could hunt & shoot guns but the last 2 years all the property around me has sold off & people have moved...

Rain this morning but the sun came out of hiding about noon so I went & played in the woods. Clearing some brush & making some room for the horses. I have about 11acres & 5 more to go to get cleared. The little L3430 is a workhorse.

No help on the dieing issue but if there is alge in the fuel I've had good luck with Killem fuel treatment. This is a pic of my fuel filter bowl on my Cummins. It had the same symptoms you're having. I changed the filter & found this in the filter housing. A local shop told me it was alge and...

Yes, the tube has a grove/indention on the side that slides into the filter housing & the end that slides into the transmission/case is smooth, there is an o'ring in the case that seals the tube. A tab tack welded to the tube bolts to the side of the case & housing, 10 or 12mm hex head I...

I just replaced the tubes on my L3430 due to me using it like a bulldozer instead of a tractor. Easy is not a word I'd use. On mine the filter adapter & hose from the trans case & suction line on the pump all have to be held just so where everything lines up & goes into place at once. I...

That's a 12k lift trying to lift a 20' container. That's a M70 holding the back of the lift down so it would lift the container off the ground enough to slide some telephone poles under it so we could move it around & load it on a trailer. That's the M70 trying to pull a container on skids...

I did the same thing to my L3430. I was clearing some property & I live on a hill, with rocks. There's a lot going on when you're pushing brush on a hill with rocks & you can't watch everything at once. A limb got under the tractor, hit the hyd. filter, poked a hole in it, snapped the filter...

I've been clearing some property so I can build a fence. Made a tray for my saw & to hold some short log chains. I ran out of metal so I just used a milk crate for the time being. I've been reading about & watching youtube on the piranha toothbar. I have a lot of clearing to do but poor boys got...
