    Zirc fitting size

    I was going to service my 3901 this afternoon before doing some snow removal. Definitely requires warming up the grease gun. I noticed on one of my front

    Land pride box blade parts.

    One of the bolts on top of my box blade broke. I was pushed up into a pile of snow dumping the FEL. I lifted the box blade to dump it's conten

    Cold weather woes

    I finally ran into a cold weather problem that has me vexed. My 3901 started running rough and then would only idle. I li.ped itto the front of the garage. Myglass site bowl had ice in it up to the service line. I pulled that bowl and it had fuel flow there ( forgot the shut off). I went and...

    Learning the hard way

    I learned some things about PTO shafts. Like a shear bolt must not be replaced with a grade 8 bolt. There are horsepower ratings for the equipment and the shafts. Little things ya overlook. I inherited a 48" rotary cutter, tiller, post hole auger. They work great on my old 7100. The old machine...

    Getting ready for winter

    It's that time of year again in North Pole. Got an Origial Tractor Cab for my L3901 and installed it along with a new heater. I'll be warm this winter. Hooked up the Agri Ease snowblower. Next project is putting on tires chains all around. Sad sigh. It's forecast to snow on Thursday. Here comes...

    L3901 hydrostatic problem

    First I must explain I'm a little stressed. We had a horrendous barn fire a couple nights ago and suffered some huge losses. The adjuster flies in from seattle tonight and once he's done tomorrow morning we can begin clean up. So.... This afternoon I began work on a big pit to bury everything...

    I hate barn fires

    I woke up at 315 this morning to our barn on fire. Moved four trucks (one burned) and my l3901. It had some heat damage on one side of the instrument cowling and one taillight. Frustrating. Lost alot upstairs and down but our house, garage, and family are safe. Insurance can deal with the rest...

    Trying to get both features in one tire

    I have an L3901 with R4's on it. I like the tires but find they are limited in mud and deeper snow. On my past tractors and my B7100 I have had R1's. They are narrower (different rim required) yet they go through mud/snow better. On the downside the fronts are narrow and have less surface area...

    Rear blade or snowblower?

    I am looking at ways to move my winter snow better. I've been using the 66" bucket on my FEL and a 60" box scraper (on L3901) and it works well. A friend has an agri-ease 60" pto snowblower for sale thats only one year old. He had neck surgery and can't use. Problem is I have a gravel road and...

    Sunshade canopy and towing

    I just ordered an E1134 canopy with an E1136 mounting kit for my L3901. My only worry is can I leave the canopy on the tractor when towing it on my trailer at road speed? The mount looks stout but that is a big piece of fibreglass up in the air. Granted the canopy is curved on top so looks like...
