Bought about 50' of 1" yellow poly rope from Lowe's. Braided a large eye at each end. Two small 5/8" steel shackles and one large steel shackle for the towbar. I occasionally have to deal with dead limbs larger than my FEL. Actually nothing more than a glorified tow rope. Wrap one end around the...

Is there a dealers website where I can look at what you are talking about. Kinda out of the loop as far as bolt on accessories are concerned. I'm 72 and have joint problems and want to get the most out of my L3800. You know the saying worm smarter. Thanks for your reply. Fraank

Few years back had to get a new septic system for the house. Good old Louisiana clay about 6-7 yards which now looks like a jungle scene from Jurassic Park. Some small trash trees grew in it and I can cut these down and burn them. But still have to deal with the clay. At present the FEL is a...

When I got the tractor the dealer gave me the oil filter and 2 gallons Kubota 30 weight oil. And yes being a good owner read the manual. took out one pint and there was my 7.5 quarts. Anyway today in the blistering heat 100+ degrees drained out approximately 1.5 quarts and I have one of those...

Definitely way too much oil in the engine. Still have the milk jugs that I drained the old oil into. Looks to be about 6 quarts. So will set up my drain bucket and clean it real good and take the excess oil out. Funny thing when at the dealers one of the ladies took me over to a different...

Well went over tothe Kubota dealer and they had my new dipstick part number T1060-16602 all nice and tucked away in its plastic wrapper. Didn't get to swap it out as the heavens opened up and rained like you wouldn't believe. Tuesday is dipstick day. Still have to say that 7.5 quarts id too much...

D2Cat, good idea. But if the book/manual says 7.5 quarts why is it that when I drained the old oil out into 2 milk jugs I got only about 6 quarts? I full milk jug and another with about 2 quarts. reason I mention the 2 quarts is that is exactly what my sears riding mower takes including the...

Well as mentioned went over to the Kubota dealer and at the parts counter I explained the problem. I gave them the T1060-1660 part number and was told that it was not a Kubota part number. Lady brought out the manual and referenced the dipstick in the manual. Told her that is not the dip stick I...

Yes, did pull both drain plugs. Thanks for the part number for the two hole dipstick. Will call the dealer and see if they have it in stock. Otherwise will have them order it and since I bought the insurance package should not cost anything. We'll see how that one goes. Thanks very much for your...

Hi all, recently did the oil change on the engine of my L3800. Manual for the L3800 says to use 7.5 quarts including the oil filter which was changed out at the same time. Now for the confusing part. The manual shows a dipstick that has a square section at the end with two lines with cross...

Thanks a bunch to you both. I really appreciate the suggestions. think I may have a gas syphon or something floating around that could be used to remove the old oil. If not a trip to harbor freight seems to be in order. You would think that when they designed the darn thing they'd think about a...

I'd like to change out the 80-90 weight gear oil on the gearbox on my woods bush hog. Now after carefully reading the manual there are only two plugs on the gearbox. On top you have the vent plug and on one side you have the oil check plug. You remove the lower one to make sure the oil level is...

You can on me always bringing something covered with chrome and shiney when I go to either Lowe's or Home Depot. Must be something hardwired in our DNA. Got tired of running back and forth from one side of the house from where the L3800 is kept to the garage where all of my tools are. So just...

Going to the lumber yard and get a pressure treated 6x6" and cut two pieces off it about a foot and a half long. Then drill a hole through one end on each piece. Then thread a piece of the yellow poly rope and should work like a couple air plane chocks. 6" should get me high enough to connect...

Well right now it's a couple of paving blocks that are about 1.5" thick. So based on what everyone is saying and due to the fact that the left arm is about 2" high I need more height. Thanks for all your help, this 67 year old man appreciates it. Frank

I'm seriously thinking that my problem is that when I set the hog down on blocks is that they aren't high enough. At present the back end where it attaches isn't high enough and from what you all have said that indeed may be the problem. I'll scrounge around and see if I can find a couple cinder...

I had to adjust the right side arm to allow it to line up with the holes where the link pin has to go though. That was the easy part. Top link pin also has to do some adjusting to get it to extend out from the tractor.That one was easy enough. The left lift link is non adjustable and sits about...

Tired to get the bush hog installed on my l3800 and excersize in futility. Had the right one on with no problems this is an adjustable arm. ok get the top link hooked up no problems. Left link is non adjustable and the section that has the hole for the link pin is about 2" higher than the right...

I called my dealer on good friday, they sent one of their men out looked at and corrected the problem. As he was about to leave I apologized for having him come out there. His reply was''It's what we do,anymore problems just call us." Haven't heard that in years. So yesterday I stop in and get...
