L3301

[DONLI]

Wife just bought a L3301 with 500 hrs, sn 66893 it looks to be a 2017.
Does anyone know what year Kubota changed to the sn's?
And can I pressure wash the engine?
Thank you!

PS. Wish I had my old 2001 L3010 GST, but wife said that after we moved I would not need a tractor!
Fuuny she would not even get on it the she bought this one!

The closest way to figure the year the tractor was built would be to use the engine S/N and look up when it was built. Go to the link below and look at the section for engine serial number with 7 digits.

Engine sn JHD5234 looks to 2018.

Engine sn JHD5234 looks to 2018.

The first letter it the production line, the second it the year and the serial number will tell month, so:
H=2017
D5234=February 10000th unit~19998th unit

Can I pressure wash this engine. or just hose it off? Its not greasy just dirty!

You can use a pressure washer but you need to have lower pressure reach the engine so stand back a few feet. It would be better to use a garden hose which is much safer for the tractor. You might try using a foam cannon, I hear they work well to remove dirt with low pressure.

Thank you!
I just used a hose to clean the radiator screen and hosed down the engine and ran it at 2500 RPMs for about 15 minutes.
Thanks again.
