I took my L3130D up one of my steep fire roads to look for some fill dirt and managed to get myself stuck. The trouble is that I didn't realize that having 1/4 tank of diesel was going to be an issue. The edge of the road caved (it was washed under) and my box-grader ended up stuck in the...

I am by no means an expert, but have spent some time replacing a clutch on a L3130D and adjusting the clutch as part of this. I have found this particular range switch to be more sensitive to the adjustment of your clutch and touchy even when it's adjusted well. Thus, if your clutch is not...

I have several times now had to clean out rodent nests from under the hood of my tractor. It seems to happen even when used nearly daily. It's an outdoor barn so I don't know I have so many options. Thinking trapping, using poison it problematic as poisoned rats sometimes wander outside and...

My brother-in-law is a heavy equipment mechanic and he seems to think that one or both of the clips came out and are lodged in there causing the throwout bearing to not seat straight. Thus, the reason the additional pressure is causing it to work is that the additional pressure is lining things...

OK, I get it, so the trouble here is that if there is NO free play the release bearing is ALWAYS spinning. This will fail eventually. At this moment, I am wondering if the aftermarket pressure plate, although purchased from the Kubota dealer, was a bad idea. Since you can't actually change...

Re: Splitting the L3130 - Repair thread (New Clutch Tight??) OK, so it took me quite a while with my work schedule - I commute 2 hours each was 3 times a week - but the tractor has been split, clutch replaced. Something seems "off" though on the clutch. It's brand new, and in theory, I should...

Thanks! Skipping that one and saving the $68 for the parts.

I had a friend provide me some angle iron supports with some skids on the bottoms. I attached to the loader sub-frame arms and they worked AWESOME. However, I bough the gaskets and seals for the "main engine seal" but see that the sub-frame attaches to that section I would have to remove. I am...

Lugbolt THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for all the detail. I am planning to have a friend that is a transmission mechanic help me with the final part, but at this point I am wondering if I will not end up doing the entire job. I am having more trouble finding TIME then anything at this point. I am...

Re: Splitting the L3130 - Remove ALL of Sub-Frame? (Good Idea) Thanks for the info, sorry about your misfortune. I thought EXACTLY the same as you, that was my first time *EVER* on a tractor, and it had not been started in a while, plus the shuttle did not seem to be really "sticking" in right...

I graded the road about a month ago. On the way back, it was quite dark, I don't know if my foot hit it, or I simply forgot, but I left the parking brake on and drove the tractor say 80-100 yards before I caught it. I got that asbestos smell and knew immediately something was wrong. I was hoping...

Re: Splitting the L3130 - Remove ALL of Sub-Frame? Yes, it IS quite involved. By the time I resolved that I would do much of the work myself, I nearly had memorized the WSM procedures. The only question I have really had outside of simply following that manual is determining if the entire...

Yes, I have had someone that repairs tractors diagnose the problem. There are a few questions that will be answered once it's split, such as "is there an oil leak in there causing premature wear?". However, yes the clutch is gone and the adjustment had been set very off a while back. I have a...

Bought a 27 acre property that used to be a goat farm. I don't know it still counts as a "Farm" without the goats, but I got a nice L3130D, 4WD Kubota along with the house and barns (I insisted). In the pandemonium that is buying a house and moving, I foolishly gambled that the tractor, with...
