    Loader Getting Weak With Use?

    Your oil-filled gauge is low on oil. That might be the reason for the low readings. Does your gauge have a dipstick and what type of oil does it take? Synthetic or dino? Your skinny dipstick might be too short, so it will only be halfway in when you check it...

    Replaced both fuel filters on my 3301 due to coding out, after changing the filters I am still getting the same codes.

    Did you reset the codes? Otherwise, the tractor won't know that you changed the filters. Tractors are not like horses, they don't remember when you work them hard or repair them. Think of the tractor as a deaf mute slave that is at your call and beckon.

    Bent Stand LA344S

    You should have ordered it from one of the local New Hampshire Kubota dealers so you wouldn't pay tax or shipping. I use MB tractor or Chappels. Both have good service and there is a good chance that MB tractor would have it in stock. Suggest that you cancel the Messicks order because the...

    Bent Stand LA344S

    If it is bending while on the tractor's loader in the stored location that means that you have to be doing something that is hitting the stand. I find it strange that more people aren't having this as a problem if it were as easily damaged as you indicate.

    BX2200D hydraulic problem

    I suggest that you order the color rings from Kubota to get the lines on the loader correctly. That might be the problem with it right now, you have 2 lines reversed. I know that Kubota did use colored dust caps and plugs for some of the couplers, but not all the couplers had them leading to...

    BX22 BT600 boom cylinder

    Kaching, Kaching, we have a winner. I was thinking the same thing, but since I sold my BX22, and my memory it old, I didn't want to make this suggestion.

    Tick Tube Time

    Why bother to save tubes? Get a length of whole house vacuum cleaner PVC pipe and cut it into 4" pieces. A 10' piece of tubing will net you 29 tubes and a short stub, allowing for a 1/8" saw kerf. if you can't find the thin wall tubing, use schedule 40 1 1/2" PVC pipe. The nice thing about...

    Bent Stand LA344S

    I picked up a BXpanded backhoe dolly and the previous owner had stored it outside, and by the amount of weeds that had entangled it when he took it from the side of the storage building, I would have guessed that it had been out there for a couple of years. It was none the worse for being...

    Broken Oil Drain Plug

    The problem that I see is the oil residue on the pan. Possibly welding or brazing is a better solution if they can get a good bead on the bolt. That will leave it for the next owner to deal with. He will need an experienced welder to get a leak-free welded bead.

    Broken Oil Drain Plug

    I don't think that any "smearing" of a sealant is going to solve his dilemma. This needs to be dealt with properly and repaired. I agree with sucking the oil out, and I have 2 of those draining suckers. I can't remember when the last time was that I removed a drain plug. Oh yeah, it was last...

    Bent Stand LA344S

    Since your garage has limited space and it is difficult to get the loader lined up with the tractor, I suggest that you purchase a BXpanded loader dolly. It will take the problem of lining up the loader with the tractor and make your life much easier and stress-free. If you don't want to spend...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The retaining pin of the front left wheel of your mowing deck is missing and the wheel is going to fall off when you lift the deck. You can buy a couple of kits at Harbor Freight of different types of pins and clips for under $30 and have an assortment that will resolve all these missing parts...

    Loader Getting Weak With Use?

    I have a cork board that I keep all the small parts held up by push pins. Easy to find what I need in a hurry. It is the larger parts that seem to get scattered and I can't find when I need one, such as my hydraulic pressure tester. I just built another with the hope that the original one...

    Put one of the following part numbers into the www.messicks.com parts search engine. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see "This part fits 360 models" and click on that. Scroll down toward the bottom to find the M series tractors and see if yours is listed. Sorry, I don't...

    Bent Stand LA344S

    Are you taking the loader off on a flat surface like a paved driveway or a concrete floor? If not that is the reason that you are bending up the loader stand. If you are attempting to haul large heave logs, you can damage the loader. It is a small lightweight tractor and you have to keep that...

    Broken Oil Drain Plug

    Good point. If that turns out to be the case, then all that needs to be done is to reweld the nut to the inside of the pan.

    Broken Oil Drain Plug

    I have added drain plugs to pans that didn't have one by drilling a hole in the pan, and then bolting a bolt and nut to the pan through the hole. Weld the nut in place, and then remove the drain bolt. Then I took a cutoff wheel and cut down 2 sides of the nut till the cut was even with the pan...
