    L4630 - chains for *front* tires

    I'd like to get chains for the front tires on my L4630 but can't seem to find a source. (Not sure if it's me, google, or they just don't exist?) They're 8.3 x 16 with that typical tractor lug pattern. Anyone have a source they can point to? With the locker on the rear diff the back wheels are...

    What size is this bolt?

    It is indeed an M8 x 1.25, but with the JIS 12mm head. Turns out my problem is a bad thread in the panel where the bolt goes. I'll have to run a tap through it to clean it out. Thanks to everyone with suggestions

    What size is this bolt?

    L4630: It looks like an M8, but an M8 doesn't seem to fit. The bolt on the tractor has a 12mm hex head; an M8 has a 13mm. I've looked in various tables of bolt sizes and nothing takes a 12mm socket. Is it a self-threading M8? I can't find head sizes for the self-threading screws.

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    These are all very sensible cautions, to which I'll add, this is not a substitute for fixing the tractor in the first place. In my case I'll be doing this solely to be able to get the tractor onto a trailer and into the shop. Wires long enough to keep you well out of harm's way is a great idea...

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    [head slap] The belt should have been the giveaway. A starter isn't connected with a belt. D'oh Got it now. Good to go. Thx

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    is this lead what you are referring to as the exciter? Presumably one lead is ground, the other is shorted to the battery to start the tractor.

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    It's the not-cranking case. The PTO idiot light is on and nothing happens. I'll try as you suggest. That will at least let me get it on the trailer and to the shop where it will be easier to work on. Thx.

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    Is there any way to override the interlock so that I can get it on a trailer to haul to the shop?

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    I pulled it all apart and tested the switches - they're fine. The wiring looks good as far as a I can trace it, which admittedly is not very far. Any suggestions on where to look next? Thanks

    L4630 - PTO interlock prevents tractor from starting even with PTO disengaged

    Went to start the tractor yesterday and the PTO indicator light was on. This was strange as there is nothing mounted to the PTO and I have used the tractor many times since the last implement was taken off. I did the usual jiggling of the lever, also fully engaging and disengaging the lever...

    what's this lever right by the PTO lever in my L4630

    The diagrams in the manual I have don't match the tractor, kind of defeats the purpose I suppose. Anyway, what's this lever for? Aux hydraulics, maybe?

    BL45-90 for L4630?

    There's no mention of a subframe. Says it will mount to any standard 3pt hitch and PTO. Pictures don't show a subframe, either. What's the consequence of operating without a subframe?

    BL45-90 for L4630?

    I have an L4630 with enclosed cab and have an opportunity to buy a used BL45-90 locally. I have no pressing use for a backhoe, but figure it might be handy. Is this a decent match to the tractor? Main project that comes to mind is a 12" culvert at the bottom of the driveway. Is this a decent...

    How to lock float on L4630?

    I pushed pretty aggressively. I can feel a slight detente, but nothing that holds. I've only had the tractor for a couple of months - bought it used. It's been like this from the beginning. I'll try pushing harder, but I suspect the detente needs to be cleaned or something. Thanks

    How to lock float on L4630?

    If I push the lever all the way forward, I can feel the float mode engage. It's also evident from the behavior of the loader. But I can't make it stay in this mode. Is there a trick I'm missing? There's a little silver colored tab at the base of the lever, but I can't seem to get it to do...

    Too lazy to jack it up.

    I'm confused, or maybe I'm missing something. Is there a different way to do this? :-)

    Cold weather starting on L4630GST

    I wouldn't have thought Georgia ever got that cold :) I wonder if elevation might be part of my problem. From what I've read, elevation does impact non-turbo-charged diesel performance. I'm at 7500'. The tractor was bought from someone at 3700'.

    Cold weather starting on L4630GST

    Gave your method a try today. Overnight low was zero, about 25° when I went to start the tractor. The glow plug light came on for about 10 seconds at most. I put the shuttle in forward, and turned the key to the starter position (which of course didn't turn over the tractor). Put the shuttle...

    Cold weather starting on L4630GST

    I'm having a hard time starting the tractor on cold mornings (overnight low sub-zero, teens to twenties when starting the tractor). The glow plug light comes on, but on for 5-10 seconds. The engine turns over strong (the battery is good), but doesn't catch - just belches black exhaust. Typically...

    Backhoe for L4630GST-C

    Never too soon to start thinking about a backhoe. Which Kubota units are compatible with an L4630GST with factory cab? How about Woods? Thanks
