    Stuck in gear

    It has happened a couple of times. If I turn the tractor off while on a hill in gear it gets stuck in gear. The shuttle shift gets very difficult to move and I don't want to break anything. Pressing the clutch or shifting the GST to neutral does not relieve the pressure and the tractor cannot be...

    Is it necessary to sharpen the teeth on the feed roller and what is the best method? Works fine with pine but struggles a bit with gripping harder woods

    Clutch stopped working for a while

    I was reversing to hook up the trailer earlier and when I pressed the clutch the tractor kept driving. It happened a couple more times after that but then it just fixed itself. I'm confused. L3450 GST

    How long would it take?

    Bush cutting season ends next week so I've made a mad burst at clearing some rhododendron. Problem is that I now have a few piles of waste to dispose of. Burning is not ideal because my neighbours have mature native woodlands which I don't want to risk. How long do you guys think it would take...

    L3450GST clicking not starting

    When you turn the key it clicks once. After trying a few times it starts right up. Had the battery tested and it's fine. Hay will be getting delivered between the rain and need to get it in before it gets wet.

    Do sprayer pumps suck?

    I got an old PTO sprayer that used to be mounted on the back of a Cushman. The plan is to mount it to the 3pt. I've started cutting it up to turn its orientation 90 degrees so that the tank will go across the width of the tractor rather than sticking out the back length ways. The main concern at...

    Membership

    Hi, Is there a way for people like me who don't have a PayPal account to pay up? I don't have any use for one and would very much rather not set one up for this single transaction. Thanks

    Won't stay in 4wd

    I've tried using the search but maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Tractor goes in and out of 4wd easily but sometimes it just drops out of 4wd, usually when you need it most. It works but sometimes you have to hold the lever in place. L3450GST

    Tipping trailer size

    Hi guys, I'm wondering what size tipping trailer my L3450 GST would be able to manage. I know I'm limited to 2 ton on the drawbar but would it have the power to handle something like this. I don't intend to use the high side extensions but they nearly all come with them. This example is 8'X6'...

    Craftsman LT1000

    I think maybe a few of you may have similar mowers, so here goes. This one has the 42" deck with side discharge. For its 25th birthday we sent it away to get a major overhaul but since it came back we have had nothing but trouble and the guy that repaired it is cocooning. First day out, it...

    Quick lumber question

    Hi guys What do you call the first cut from the outside of a tree when it is being milled. The one with the bark still on it, sometimes used for cladding on fences and such. Google doesn't seem to know but I'm sure guys will sort it out. Thanks

    Jump start contacts

    Has anybody fitted contacts to the outside of their tractors for connecting jump leads to and how would you do it? It's such a nuisance having to take of both side panels to get to the battery terminals for a couple of seconds use and of course there's that spinning fan inches away. L3450GST

    Winter project

    Inspired by PhPaul, I too have taken on a winter project. I just got an old fertiliser shaker at the right price (free). I was told that the gearbox was seized and the bottom was rusted out. So far, I've gotten the gearbox freed and all the levers and chutes freed (Day 1) The rust repair...

    Trying to make the tractor leak

    Every time I use the tractor the bottom of it gets covered in hydraulic fluid. It can leak as much as half a gallon a day. It also seeps out while parked. But I can't find where it is coming from. Is there a way to put pressure on the system to increase the flow to a point where I will be able...

    L3450GST filters

    Looking for Kubota part numbers for fuel, oil & hydraulic filters for my L3450GST. I have gotten the oil and fuel filters from the dealer and they just don't seem to be the same as what is on at the moment. The fuel filter they gave me is a paper cartridge refill type jobby but on the tractor...
