Yours has a dipstick between your feet on the trans hump

If I'm trenching with my backhoe, and I'm on level ground, I will put the transmission in neutral and use the backhoe to push the tractor away from where I'm digging, then drop the loader bucket and stabilizers down and keep digging, I never have to leave the seat.

If its a sunny day and the lines are exposed, it will cause pressure to build in the lines from fluid expansion and make it difficult to connect, or it may have been caused by disconnecting while running/pressure in the lines

those prices are a little high, for example, I bought my L3901HST with front quick attach loader, R1 tires, and a very slightly used BH77 backhoe with mechanical thumb and 16" bucket. (there was less than 5 hours on the hoe, previous owner didn't like it) for just over $29k out the door cash...

I have a l3901 and I think it's a great overall tractor and is a good size for most farm work, small enough to fit in and out of tight areas, but big and heavy enough to do some meaningful work

That's fine while it's still under warranty, but it would be nice to have an inexpensive aftermarket option to do diagnostics on these modern tractors without taking them to the dealers when the warranty runs out.

I would mix it with diesel in about a 4:1 ratio, 4 parts diesel 1 part kerosene. Kerosene is much drier than diesel and doesn't have as much lubricating properties as diesel.
