    Another battery post (pun intended)

    I just got back from Walmart. I measured the EverStart Maxx group 24 and group 24F across the base or bottom. Both measured 10” (254 mm). The BCI chart length values are different (260 mm for the 24 and 273 mm for the 24F) but they are the same across the bottom. They will both fit within the...

    Another battery post (pun intended)

    You seem to be missing the point of my post. I have already done some measuring as stated in the post. I live in a small town and my options are limited as far as local acquisition. I can go to local auto parts store or Walmart. Not crazy about Walmart batteries. Have little doubt that my...

    If you read my post you will see that I made reference to this chart. Been there done that.

    Another battery post (pun intended)

    Im confused. Im in need of a new battery for my L3400DT. Ive read that a BCI Group 24 will work but the length on this group seems to be slightly to long. I carefully measured the distance between the brackets that hold the bottom of the battery in place ( "L" shaped metal tabs) at 10 1/8"...

    Millermatic 212

    I recently bought a 211. I'm a rookie just learning to weld. Took a short adult ed welding class which I think will help get me off the ground. Have yet to do much except lay down a few beads. No projects yet but that may soon change. Thinking of building a 3 pt hitch carry-all for my Kubota...

    2012 L3400 Rear Wheel Torque?

    I'm in process of installing Kubota wheel spacers on my L3400. The Operators manual shows rear wheel torque at 160 ft lbs. but the diagram does not match the wheels on my tractor. My tractor only has 4 lug bolts and 2 studs on each of the two wheels. The diagram shows a set of inner and another...

    Help needed installing wheel spacers

    Put PB Blaster on lugs and let soak for couple hrs. Hammered away with 1/2" air impact and they finally broke loose but not without problems. Stripped one of two studs on the right side. Not sure how I managed to do that. I like to think the factory cross threaded or something when they...

    Help needed installing wheel spacers

    I bought the Kubota spacers which do require longer studs. I started out with one 6" extension and then added a second 6" after I noticed that I had slightly bent the first one. I like the idea of the jack stand for support. Will give that a shot. Think I'll give it a squirt or two of PB Blaster...

    Help needed installing wheel spacers

    I just picked up a set of rear snow chains and Kubota wheel spacers for my 2012 L3400DT. Thought I would save a couple bucks and install spacers myself. Didn't get very far. Cant break lugs loose. First tried using 1/2" impact driver with no luck. Then tried 1/2" breaker bar. Then tried using...

    LA463 loader operators manual

    Seems obvious to me. How to remove/hook-up loader, what needs to be done for maintenance, safety issues when operating, etc. Lots of reasons for wanting the operators manual. Seldom operate anything without reviewing the manual. Silly not to spend a few min reviewing the manual for an expensive...

    LA463 loader operators manual

    Have you any experience with gobookee? I've heard its a scam. When you try to download they require credit card info even though its supposed to be free (this I have first hand experience with), they then charge your account and provide no manual (I didn't give them any info so cant say for sure...

    LA463 loader operators manual

    I just bought a used 2012 LA3400 w/LA463 FEL. I need the operators manual for the LA463 FEL. Looked at the Kubota web site but was not able to figure out how to acquire a manual. Tractor came with a Cimarron 500 brush hog need to pick up a manual for that as well. Anyone know of a source for...

    L3800 still have jerky TPH?

    I have searched this site on this issue. I most likely saw your comments. That's what got me going on this. The Youtube clips showing the use of a boom causing entire tractor to bounce and another where water in a bucket was splashing all over the place due to extremely jerky boom are what got...

    L3800 still have jerky TPH?

    Pretty much decided on purchase of L3800 until I started seeing all the stories on jerky 3 pt. hitch (TPH). Has Kubota done anything to resolve this issue? From what I have read sounds like Kubota is trying to ignore the problem. This could be a deal breaker for me. Im of the opinion if you have...
