    SCAMMER WARNING:

    Lack of integrity has certainly increased in America, maybe everywhere. The Amateur Radio community used to be solid, but today nearly every For Sale ad for radio equipment includes the disclaimer, 'No Returns'. Scammers buy/receive the gear, and switch expensive components. Claiming it's...

    Punctured rear tire, L-35, thoughts/advice?

    Thanks Rodger... Your advice to trim the plug to the surface is good. Tractor tires often slip on various surfaces and might dislodge the plug. I'll trim it close.

    Punctured rear tire, L-35, thoughts/advice?

    Thanks for all the input. I'll go for plugging. Rear tires likely 25yrs. They look OK; no Beet Juice. Stored inside with almost no heavy work on small homestead. I'm a disable 86yr old Vet; Kubota is how I'm still able to keep the place up; I should say, Wife & Kubota. I use it as a ladder...

    Punctured rear tire, L-35, thoughts/advice?

    Just discovered a wood screw in rear tire, L-35. Starting to remove it makes soap bubbles. It's a small diameter screw, maybe a hole too small for plugging. Can these tires be plugged. I'd appreciate your experience with small punctures. I'm unable to take it to the tire shop; they would...

    Locate Fuel Cut-Off Timer box, L-35

    The Fuel C/O solenoid seems OK, it retracts with 12v. The wire to the solenoid shows no voltage before or after the key is switched off. There is a fuse panel, left side, below the instrument housing, with 2 15A and 6-7 10A fuses. All look good. The fuses are not identified as to function ...

    Locate Fuel Cut-Off Timer box, L-35

    Hello... I'm new to the forum and very pleased to have found it. My nearest Kubota dealer is over 100mi away, so maintenance and repair is on my watch. I recently solved an electrical malfunction by reading posts on the forum. My 3yr old spiral GreenTop battery was suddenly down to only a...
