Good detailed overview Martin! Always appreciate that you include the exact tools and steps in detail. Man, that workshop sure looks warm....Cheers!
Thanks, Gord! LOL. The shop was a lot warmer when I shot this than it is now but so far I’ve only had to run a propane heater in it once to warm it up and that was more for testing to see how well the heater worked than to warm the shop. Thanks for watching!
Your videos have become my guide for all maintenance on my L2501. Great Job!
That's great to hear, Keith! I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for excellent video! Really appreciate your attention to detail with the great close up views and additional arrows you add for charity.
Thanks, Terry! I'm really glad you find it valuable!
As a new "L: series owner I find these videos VERY helpful. Thanks from Ottawa!
So glad to hear they have been helpful to you! Thanks for watching!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I have a feeling I'm about to find out what I overlooked on my 100 hour service. Pressing play!
Yep..fan belt tension! Thanks!
You are quite welcome!
Fantastic guide as always -- exactly as much information as I need and with great pacing. Thanks for putting these together!
Thank you very much for your encouraging words! Glad it was helpful to you!
Been a subscriber for a long time, really appreciate you doing these videos!
New subscriber and a fairly new Kubota L3901 owner. I have never operated a tractor before and still getting comfortable with it. I have purchased a Land Pride box blade and have installed a piranha bar on my bucket. Looking forward to getting some more implements. After watching your video on your carry all I am going to make that a priority. Thanks for all the tips and information.
Hi John! Thanks for subscribing! I’ve had my L3901 for two years and love it and yet I still consider myself a new tractor owner. Other than renting a skid steer once and a backhoe/loader a couple of times, I had no previous experience either. Let me know what you think of the Piranha tooth bar. I have been considering getting one. You’ll find you can do a lot with that box blade. Dave of the Dave Knows How channel has several good videos on using the box blade. He’s has a wealth of tractor know-how!
Very nice job showing all the maintenance that needs to be done Martin! Have a good one!
Thanks, John! You too!
Good evening Sir, a lots of works was put into this great informative technical maintenance video !!! Keep up the good work Sir Cheers !!!
Hi Dave! Yes, indeed it did. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Love your videos. Always well organized. You have a very smooth speaking voice is to listen to. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Glad you like them!
One hell of a maintenance vid very nice sir
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Great Video's keep them coming.
Thanks, blues man!
Huge help. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the effort Martin, wonderfuI tutorial! have an l4060 on order, first time kubota owner, so i hope i can use the info in this video to guide me when the time comes.
Thanks for watching, John! The location of filters, zerks and such will probably be different on your L4060, but the steps and principles should still apply.
Nicely done, Martin. Always enjoy watching your videos. So when do I drop off my tractor? LoL Love your methodical steps in executing the maintenance process. Many will benefit from this video. Have a fine week and a great Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Don, but I don't do Massey Furgesons! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving as well!
beautiful tractor. New friend Ruthie here
Thanks, Ruthie! It's been a good one.
That bottom Alternator bolt was OVER TORQUED by the factory....30-35lbs is what it should be torqued too.
Great video. I'm at 125+ hours and haven't done half of this stuff!! Haha. I need do better with this
Thanks, Phil! You need to get with it. Don't forget to download the maintenance check list from my website. Thanks for watching!
Just bought an L4200GST, thank you so much for this vajayos they are great! and yes I am now a subscriber ! BTW how do you do the highlighting like you did on fuel grommet?
Thank you very much! I use PowerPoint to do the highlights. Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure what all he had done to it. I'll be looking in to it within the next few weeks when he's back home. He's retired now.
Good morning and thank you for replying. I have the Kubota L3301 4x4 2015. I found the maintenance sheets on pages 56-59. Now I just have to figure out how to make copies as you have done so wisely. I did not buy the tractor new. However it only has about a 113 hours or so on it.
Glad you found them! 113 hours is practically new. Do you know if the previous owner did the 50 hour maintenance? If not or you don’t know, you should do the 50 hour maintenance steps first. Good luck!
How's she goin'? Great video Martin!!! Many of these checks are fairly easy to do and will make the tractor work and last a lot longer!!! Once again nice editing and your sense of humor shines through on more than one occasion!!! Take care!!!
Hi Mike! Thanks! I figured you'd appreciate the humor, but thanks for saying so and thanks for watching!
Absolutely great video for newbies like myself. I would Love to have a copy of the maintenance sheets. How can I go about getting one? Please advise. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Bryant! The sheets are specific to the model of tractor you have and are normally in the operator’s manual. I just made a copy of mine so I would mess up the original. What model tractor do you have? Do you have the manual to it? Thanks for watching!
Thank you Sir for those informative videos .. Do you have a video on the L3901 Kubota error codes.. There is one in particular P060 that keeps coming on.. The tractor run fine.. However.. The error code show up every so often.. Thank you, again..
Hi Henry! You are welcome. No I don’t have a video on Kubota error codes, but you can probably find them with a Google search. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Martin. Great job. I know there are lots of electronic devices on the tractor but do you ever wash the tractor with a hose or pressure washer? Do you wash the radiator? Thanks for your response.
Thanks, Tommy! Yes, I have washed the tractor with a hose, but I'm careful where I spray to avoid offending any electronics. I haven't washed the radiator, but I have blown it clean with an air compressor and a blow gun.
Pressure washers are too strong for washing a tractor. I've used one to get muck off a grading scraper and from the tines of a tiller. Watch where you point the water since it will take the decals off.
Martin when I get embalmed will they warm me up before putting embalming fluid in me? PS like changing the oil
Hi Bob! LOL I suppose it depends on who "they" are and whether you asked to be warmed up. The warming up is more about getting the old fluids out than getting the new fluids in.
Nice vid thanks.. I just got used 4400 and noticed the radiator fan wobbles? so the shaft from the fan that goes back to engine has a little wobble? is that normal? 2009 tractor with 300 hours? thanks
I'm not familiar with that model tractor, but I don't think a fan wobble is normal. One thing to check is to see if one of the fan blades is bent out of alignment. If so, it would appear to wobble and maybe you can just bend it back into alignment. Thanks for watching!
Helpful information presented well. Great video graphics and editing, too. Maybe you are/were a teacher IRL?
Thanks Mark! No, I’m an electrical engineer by schooling who end up in IT. I have always had a nack for presentations and multimedia so it’s fun for me. Thanks for watching!
Martin my L2501 does not have a breather port on the rear axle support and will not take any grease, the front is normal like your video shows. ? I am worried that I can not get any grease in there. Thanks
Hi Mark. That’s odd. Is your L2501 a 4WD model or 2WD? Is there a grease zerk on the rear axle support?
@@DIYMyWay 4WD yes there is a zerk on the rear axle support but no plug to remove
That’s very odd! What model year is your tractor? Does your manual indicate there should be one? Mine is a is a 2017.
Do you have a video on a abandoned m4030 tractor for 20 years without being started. What should I do first. It was my father in law tractor and he just walk away from it with only 50 hours on it. Would love to see it running. Thanks
Hi Jerry! No, I have never been in that situation, but I have seen several videos (and there are lots of them on CZcams!) about resurrecting old tractors. Hopefully, it's been stored under a shed or in a barn or garage. The first things that come to mind is to change ALL fluids: engine oil, hydraulic fluid, gear oil, radiator water. Also change all filters. If it's a diesel, the entire fuel system may have gelled diesel in so it will have to thoroughly flushed. Check for dry rotted and cracked rubber hoses and tires. I'm sure there are plenty of videos that can guide you through the full process. I'd say your chances of getting it running again are good and then you'll have an almost brand new 20 year old tractor. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@DIYMyWay
Thank you for that it's has been in a barn for the last 20 years
That's good to hear! Then you shouldn't have too much trouble getting it running.
You forgot to clean the fuel filter.
No, I did not. First of all, you don't clean a the fuel filter; you replace it every 400 hours according the the manual for the L3301 and L3901. If you are referring to the water separator, it is emptied as needed and cleaned every 400 hours. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYMyWay You stated in the video that this could be applied to the 2501 with the exception of the DPF. The 2501 requires the fuel filter to be cleaned with kerosene.
That’s interesting! Some of these timelines seem rather arbitrary. For instance, I noticed that the Work Shop Manual (WSM) for the L3301 and L3901 has a few differences in the maintenance schedule than in the Owner’s Manual. Since the WSM is far more comprehensive (covers complete breakdown and reassembly of the tractor), I’ve followed the WSM.
@@DIYMyWay With all due respect you should state you are not following the Owner's Manual and instead are using the WSM at the start of the video. The owner's manual should always be followed.
No reply... that's what I thought.
I reckon this is a good informative video. However legit ?...here. Howcome you're blowing the air element out replace that sob unless ya don't mind your equipment to smoke like a tire fire
That's exact words I got from onary ol' cuss that mentioned me
Hi Ole Tom! I was blowing it out because the manual said I could. If it makes you feel any better, I did replace it with a new filter a few months ago. Thanks for watching!
