    What goes behind this cover on a Harlie Rake?

    I rented a Harlie rake from my local equipment rental places. Made a pretty good circle around and found the gearbox/chain cover on the ground. See the "York" cover in the first few minutes of this video*: I'm going to reattach it this morning. Is it supposed to be full of grease? Just...

    Anyone have an OPC* Timer fail?

    Apparently mine has. Intermittent fail to start (cranks fine), then went hard failure. Traced the electrons from the key stop solenoid to the key stop relay then to the OPC timer. I could not reliably test the OPC timer as described in the WSM. Hence, I decided to bypass it and see if the...

    Can you buy individual plugs and connectors for Kubota tractors?

    I'm currently chasing an electrical gremlin with my Kubota L4330. Somewhere between the key switch and fuse panel and the stop solenoid is an intermittent disconnect. I've checked the fuse and the seat switch - one of the many safety switches between the fuse panel and SS - and still no joy...

    Request for Help: Lost all Forward, Reverse and Power Steering

    Copied from TBN: I spent 2 hours +/- bushhogging my neighbor's hill and had just got done. Transferred from one gear to another to ride up the hill and go home. There was soft thump or click and all power going forward went away. It was if the transmission had accidentally got shifted into...

    Anyone add an aux cooler to L4330?

    I want to add a Hayden 457 aux cooler to my L4330 for engine coolant. The 457 is usually an oil or tranny fluid cooler. I've had this since since the mid-80's or so and it's been on several vehicles. the last use was as a wort cooler when I brewed beer. I *assume* I can use the same engine...

They can only accessed/greased while the drive shaft is pointing the fittings almost straight down. I...

    R&R Deck belt for ZD326, First Step: Remove the Deck

    It looks like my belt is slipping on my ZD326, so it looks like it needs to be replaced. Never mind the $85 cost (from Messicks). The first step in replacing it is: Remove the deck! Anyone done this before? Any hints, tips and tricks? Anyone know the cost if the dealership did it? Thanks,

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weigh build pics

    Concrete, steel and lead wheel weight build pics I made some concrete, steel and lead wheel weights for my L4330 several months ago after looking, unsuccessfully for fairly cheap cast iron or steel wheel weights. I may as well have been looking for gold plate weights while I was at it for the...

    L4330 3PH won't drop!

    Went out to the property today, one to drop off my hog trap/goat transporter cage, the other to see if my L4330 with it's forks would reach my 2nd floor mezzanine in the shop (it does!). However, while showing me the basic controls of the tractor, my BIL lifted then tried to drop the 3PH and it...

    Finally got to ride my L4330 today, what does the "wrench" symbol mean?

    Hopefully nothing as drastic as the warp core is getting ready to self-eject or the fusion reactor has gone into self-destruct mode.... :) There was also the following words just above the 513.X hours reading: "Service Inspect". I don't have the manual yet (assuming the owner has it) and...

    My brand spanking new (to me) L4330 tractor, what bushhog do I want?

    I've read a number of "what size bushhog for my tractor?" threads and think I understand the (5hp (PTO) per foot" rule of thumb. But what I really want to know is what is the sweet spot for the L4330 specifically? On the scale of light duty to heavy duty, I want the heavier duty. I plan to go...
