Bigger box is also harder to stuff in your pants!

Put the valve stem at the 12 O'clock position, let a little bit of "air" out ... It's normal for a tiny bit of the liquid to come out, but if it continues out, it is "full", if only air comes out ... Roll the tire to the 1 O'clock position, try again until you get a steam of liquid ... Won't...

Better than a shovel and a wheelbarrow!

I use somewhere around 100 psi IIRC ... But don't use that much psi on an air filter, Massey Ferguson recommended no more than 30 psi on the paper element, I find that is inadequate, and double it to 60 psi ... I also am amazed the amount of dust I blow out of my alternator ... Try it! My...

Don't share! 😞 I don't plan to run it cutting grass in the winter ... But read on here somewhere that the newer version that is synthetic makes even the old tractors happier ... I have both JD and MF specific fluid for them, figure I'll get the Kubota brand for this one ... Gonna need to...

Hadn't thought of a pump, just that a 5 gallon bucket is cheaper per gallon, according to what I've read online ... This larger version of the L series takes 12 gallons, whereas my neighbors smaller L4400 only takes 8 gallons ... Compared to my little SCUT takes just under 3 gallons! Is the...

Getting the manual ... Local dealer didn't stock it, ordered it from Coleman's 3-5 days, plus shipping, one of the coolant hoses wasn't in stock either ... I like to read, and also learn about my equipment. I could have ordered the hydraulic fluid from them, but the shipping is more, I travel...

Of the $900 I "saved" off the "asking price" I spent $650 on "parts" ... Stocked up on filters, new belts, new hoses, plus the Owners Manual and WorkShop Manual ... I asked the dealer I stopped at about Hydraulic fluid, I couldn't remember what "the good stuff" was called, I asked about...

They killed one of my cats, so it's been WAR, I've killed 7 of them so far ... But now I think I've killed off the ones who know about the food, and use to getting it, the new ones only know that "Mr. Sparky" doesn't play nice! The hardware cloth is hooked to the earth ground!!! I had to take a...

I brought my first Kubota home today, it's an older non-emissions tractor to help me mow my 14 acres of fields ... 2005 L5030 Got some minor TLC and buffing coming up.

Yeah, it's kinda like the "Red Key" the green tractor guys use for extra 25% HP, but I don't really need, or want to feed the 400 HP Cummins that the tag came with! I just HAD to see what the deal was with the dull paint ... I use to recondition and wax cars as a side job after high school ...

Loaded up and truckin' ! 😁 Rear tires are NOT loaded, but almost new ... Fronts are probably original, and weather checked ... This Kioti dealership only looked at and recommended the belts, and some lights out, plus the battery cable, but did no work to it ... The air filters were new...

Since transmissions has been a big part of this thread ... I'm sure most any could work for my intended use ... Since I got my house paid off back in February, I've been researching tractors, one of the big reasons for joining this forum ... I'm quite fussy what I want to spend my money on ...

If you go with LS/EA, stay on top of them, and watch how long before they ship ... As mentioned, they went under for a bit, didn't ship what was paid in advance for, and locked the gate and sent employees home, court problems ... Use credit card that will back you up, but they mostly only have...

Yup! And easier to move than cement blocks! (If you have forks!) This is the 36" I have ... Used by beverage companies ...
