    L3301 HST hydraulic oil filter keeps blowing out

    Post a pic of the blown out filter. It is possible you walked out of the dealership with the wrong filter.

    Bulltra B1-17 loader

    it looks like an ag-tur loader not a kubota loader. there was a factory loader option but this doesn,t look like the OEM ones.

    Assessing water in hydraulic oil

    in my experience (but not directly related to a 3901hst) because of nooks, crannies, low areas, filter media, etc..... can never drain 100% of fluid in one shot so triple rinse at minimum is probably going to be required. a couple of times a year we get someone around here drown out an atv...

    Easier way to take off/ put on ballast box

    I have never had a tractor that small so maybe I am way out in left field but here are some thoughts from a guy who changes rear implements frequently on bigger stuff. Are you unhooking your check chains first before backing into the attachment? this gives you horizontal movement of bar end...

Clean rad. fins checked by shinning a light through every inch, replace thermostat, replace coolent mix, flush rad, clean pre-screen, check belt, check fan, check pump for leaks/noise/flow rate, etc.. all good steps. A bad cap can lead...

    L3200 sight glass question

    my book learning from grade school was a long time ago but during farming classes they taught us about coefficient of expansions. 23 quarts of hydraulic fluid will roughly expand by 1 qt going from very cold to very hot. Yes this is a very rough calc. the exact number depends on temp when...

    BX snowblower and gravel

    I am not sure what your unit has for shoes but simply set the shoes to lift leading edge higher. If shoes have a very small bearing surface (or worse yet if the blower is a budget blower w/o shoes) there are tonnes of wide/large bearing surface shoes available to buy. If you are good with a...

    First time owner of a diesel tractor with questions

    Fuel in the bowl: makes sure it looks clear and clean and without any water indicated. This is best done removing the bowl itself but remember there is a bit of a process to remove / re-install it. Its really easy once you know how. Additives: diesel fuel contamination (especially if you are...

    BX23s rear differential replacement.

    Has anyone torn into the rear in the past? My experience is often the local shade tree mechanics were just not up to the task and maybe left you with a poorly repaired tractor causing you an endless cycle of problems due to their incompetence?

    Cab glass protection from trimming limbs

    I would try security PET plastic window film. It's cheap, easy and a do it yourself afternoon job. The stuff I use is supposed to protect against hammer attacks by making glass 15x stronger than without the film added.

    B2601 valve stems different?

    Your dealer may have upgraded you to a more HD valve stem. Maybe a 16mm stem vs the lighter 11.5mm stem

    backhoe rebuild ,start up, bleeding procedure

    No bleed procedure required. Just use it and air gets pushed out. Maybe Jerky at first until enough fluid circulated to displace air.

    First 50 hour service question

    I wouldn't rush to service it. I would wait another year. 10 hrs/1 yr old.... there are dozens of machines sitting on my dealers lot, new and waiting for their first owner, with more age and hours and they will never make a service on these machines.

    Maintenance Schedule “Replace” Items — Stupid..? ?

    Like any topic we can always pick around the edges and look for the absurd. For example someone has a 30 yo tractor with 500 hours.... that's a 1/3 of an hour a weeks use so hardly a critical piece of equipment. A toy? A nice to have versus a must have, a hobby? Or maybe a nice to have at best...

    For the Canadians here.

    the fire by my place took almost 60 days to put out. it was almost 25,000 acres in size and man made. in our case it was a train coming up from the USA causing a spark or hot/broken brake. So this is called man made. to be non man made it needs to be from a lighting strike, volcano, sparks from...

    oil for MX6000

    I wouldn't try to outguess the Kubota engineers. I would stick with Kubota recommendations. Too much at stake IMHO. Kubota recommends Premium udt Sudt2 JD JDM J20D Case MS 1207 / 1209 / 1210 FNHA 2C 200.00 CNH MAT 3505
