    slumming at John Deere

    My local Kubota dealer retired and closed up shop. I need to get oil for the engine, and hst, but dont have access to the kubota stuff any longer. Can anyone recommend alternatives from the Green man, or from Tractor supply, SouthernStates etc? L3200 HST

    Lost Hydraulic fluid

    Ok all, Kept the cardboard down for a few days and found a drip. It is slowly dripping from the area where the 4wd/2wd lever attaches to. Looking at it looks like it is a little out of line, but not sure.

    Lost Hydraulic fluid

    I paid the dealer to come out and do the 50 hour service, both engine oil and hydraulic. I assume they replaced all the filters, but unfortunatly I was not there when the actual service was done. I replaced the engine oil once before at approx 100 hours, and again last week. This is the...

    Lost Hydraulic fluid

    I have 225 hours. (about 50 a season). I must admit I needed to have the problem before I realized I had a problem. The site window was always white, not sure if I ever saw fluid in it. I won't make that mistake again. putting cardboard down later, and will be keeping close eye on the levels.

    Just stopped at the Kubota dealership here in town, got a gallon of super udt2, and the 2 filters. Glad I don't have to replace these very often. They recommended replacing the filters. any idea how much fluid I will loose when replacing the filters? Hope a gallon is enough.

    L3200 loosing power

    I have noticed that my L3200 hst just started to feel sluggish when mowing. Also had episode where the bucket wouldn’t tilt up under a load (I was moving hay bales). The HST also seems to make more sound when operating. I have just shy of 250 hours on the tractor. Does this sound like low...

    Ran out of Diseal won't start. Help

    Thank you all for the suggestions and guidance. After multiple attempts to bleed the fuel injection tubes, and a lot of cranking of the starter I finally got the tractor started. Note to self, Never run out of diesel again. BTW I discovered the beauty of a Line wrench, my standard 17mm wrench...

    Ran out of Diseal won't start. Help

    I haven't done the injectors, couldn't find any specifics in the manual. do I loosen them, then crank, or will the diesel flow by gravity. Really new at this type of thing.
