The way doctors keep trying to kill me, I'll be lucky to live that long. 2yrs ago, Doc changed my BP med. I reacted badly to it. He called an ambulance, trip to the ER. A night there trying to regulate my BP and heart rate. Meds for on then meds for the other. My heart would stop beating for as...

Sorry about that. Had another thread going about the UDT-2 in mt L3800 and putting a John Deere dye in it to make it show up better in the sight window. Got them and was following this post too and got the 2 mixed up. Easy to do when you hit 73. ;) Thanks for the info on the dust covers. Dano

Ok, got the dye in yesterday, I also stopped at the local hardware store and picked up one of the squeeze bulb pumps people use for kerosene heaters and a 3/16" dowel. Today I drained the 3.5 gal I put in out and this is the result: Engine at idle: And Sight picture with the engine off: I'm...

That's what I did and the bottle was only about 1/3 full. The bottle had white paint around the threads and one side and dye on the label in several places. No dye in the box. I believe I got sold a bottle that had been used down to the 1/3 left in it and resold as an unopened bottle. I emailed...

That's the plan and when I get it right I'm going to use something, a dowel or a car dipstick to measure the level and mark it and go with that. Dano

Thanks, I'll order a set today. Dano

I added the dye and let it run at idle for a few minutes. The entire window is now red. To late today to drain it but I'll be draining it tomorrow. Dano

My BX2680 has less than 150 hours and both ball joint covers are toast. If you find some please let me know where. Thanks Dano

I will. Just ordered a bottle of dye so I can see how much is draining. Thanks again, Dano

Just ordered a bottle. I'll wait to drain it until I get it and can see how much is in the sight glass. Thanks for the tip. Dano

Just out of curiosity, what kind of mess are we talking about? Dano

Thanks for the info. Yeh, three gallons until it started to come out the fill hole. I'd put in a 1/2 qt and check the sight glass. Had my wife watching it constantly too. just started pouring in the last 1/2 quart that would have made 3 gallon and it overflowed the fill hole. Never have seen it...

While lubing the HST zerks which seems to have cured my starting problem though only time will tell, I came across this: I've been under there dozens of times, but I don't remember this. Reason I'm asking, I had it serviced last fall to include topping of the Tranny lube. Doing maintenance on...

I greased this petal and spray lubed the springs and connections. Now, only time will tell. Appreciate all the advice given. I know one thing, I'm too old to go crawling around under the tractor anymore. From now on, I'm driving it up town to NAPA and supervise them greasing it. ;) Dano

PTO switch? I'll have to look for that one. Thanks Dano

Thanks for this. Helps to have a guide to go by. Dano

Yep, I greased everything this Spring but it's been a wet muddy year and it could very well be the HST switch sticking. Thanks Dano

I have a Kubota L3800 HST, 2011 model. In the last year it's been giving me fits with one problem. It sometimes, won't start. Battery reading at 13.7. Turn the key and all the little lights in the dash come on, but nothing. No clicking, no sound whatsoever. I changed out the Seat Safety switch...

Brand new BX2680 here and it idles at 1400 also. Traded my BX2370 in on it on Monday. Delivered on Wednesday. Wife graded our drive (1/3 mile 43 year old gravel) and my brothers drive (also 1/3 of a mile of gravel). Took her about and hour with my old Cub Cadet 1550 box scraper. Ordered her a...

Took my L3800 in for the 50 hour maintenance. Picked up a spare tire and wheel for my Load Trail trailer and a Kubota steering wheel knob for my tractor. Whole pkg was $446. Not bad considering what some have paid. Dano
