    Homemade Channel Iron Forks

    Some of you might have read my eBay skid steer plate saga but I will repeat it in this thread. I ordered a 5/16” thick skid steer blank off eBay. It arrived and was way off from specs to fit right. The seller gave me a partial refund to fix it so I was in it for $76.02 plus my time and...

    Anybody know the correct size or part numbers for the o-rings in the LA535 couplers? I have 6 different types of o-ring assortments and they don't match any I have.

    eBay Skid Steer Plates

    Just received my blank skid steer plate I ordered off eBay. It came 3 days after I ordered it. It is a loose fit and will require some shimming at the bottom. It's about 7/8 inch looser than my factory bucket. I knew what to expect at the time of order because they showed the top to bottom bend...

    Carplay Front/Rear Dashcam in Cab

    Another camera thread. This is not an endorsement because it is untested beyond initial install and impressions. I picked up one of those Carplay/Android Auto dash cams off marketplace for fifty bucks. I've been wanting to put something in my little Kubota cab and this looks ideal. It is 4"...

    Skid Steer Mounted Backhoe

    6ft forward rotating tiller on a LX3310

    Trying out the 6ft forward rotating tiller on the LX3310 today. It handles it just fine. Ground has had pines removed and stumps dug out but still has some roots and wood buried. I loosened and spun the driveshaft clutch then set it back where it was before running it. It would lurch every now...

    RC72-30BB Mower Setup and Removal

    RC72-30BB Mower: This is long so if you have this mower and are satisfied with your setup you might not want to read it. I bought a LX3310 cab tractor with this mower mid summer with 200 hours on it. I wanted it primarily to use as an air conditioned mower. I have 55 trouble free hours on it...

    Power Outage LED Bulbs

    These are neat to have in a power outage. They have a built in battery and will stay on a couple hours if the power goes off. We have a lamp that stays on in our master bath and one in the dining room that remains on so if the power goes off those lights remain on. I also put one in each of the...

    LX3310 Cab seat cover

    I have been looking for a decent cloth or canvas seat cover for my LX3310 cab and wasn't having any luck. It looked like the main suppliers of any tractor seat covers was Durafit and they all looked kinda crappy. They only listed a cover for the open station LX3310 so I finally reached out to...

    Cab Mirror Mod

    Cab Mirror Mod My mirrors were often coming in contact with limbs and folding in on the door making them hard to open and get out of the tractor. This also rendered the mirrors useless until I got out and repositioned them. I decided to reverse them and put them in front of the windshield to...

    Extended AC drains on LX3310 Cab

    Minor change but a huge improvement. When I mowed my deck would become a muddy mess with the AC draining onto it. I had to wash it after every use because it wouldn't blow off. I had some 3/8" hose barb unions and Tygon tube I used to extend the drains to the rear of the deck. When I finished...

    R14 vs Turfs on the same tractor

    Anybody have experience with the R14 vs turfs on the same tractor with just air in them? Did either ride smother than the other? My LX3310 has loaded R14s and I am wondering if getting the fluid out would improve the ride. It is very rough and ridged. I dropped the rears to 16 PSI and set the...

    3 point vibration

    Not sure how common this is but my LX3310 had a horrible loud vibration in the 3 point lift eyes. I pulled them out and wrapped with duck tape. I also put a wrap on the pin and put it back in. Vibration noise is all gone.
