    Grease Zerks

    The TA140-39500 lift rod assembly on my L3710 was missing its two 06613-10675 grease nipples, so I had the same question. Search recommended this thread which lacks a definitive answer, but Coleman Equipment lists 06613-10675 Kubota Grease Nipple (M6-0.75-STR) which suggests it is M6 × 0.75mm...

    another tie rod end

    On my L3710, all four boots had deteriorated and all four ball joints were dry with considerable play. New tie rod assemblies are super expensive (HTA0A-13700 ASSY ROD TIE RH is $491.52 for OEM at Messick's or $290.40 for aftermarket at Worthington, and TA040-13700 ASSY ROD TIE LH is $375.20...

    Off road, dumping trailer?

    Compared to some of the trailers mentioned in this thread that I would consider for my L3710 but that seem inappropriately large for the OP's BX2380? Here is the TC4278 1600 lbs 22 cu ft attached to my x595 GT with specs similar to the OP's BX2380 SCUT:

    L3710 steering bushing

    I suspect mine needs more than just bushings, too. Did you manage to repair it, or was replacement necessary?

    Give me Tips on Removing, Rebuilding L3710 Steering Cylinder

    Only about ten drops a day appear beneath my L3710, so topping off is infrequent, but along with the sloppy bushings shown in my video above, the situation will only get worse. The steering cylinder is allowing fluid to seep past both seals so needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The hydraulic...

    Give me Tips on Removing, Rebuilding L3710 Steering Cylinder

    Curious: Why did you opt to drill a hole through that support rather than removing it (and the bumper) per the instructions (step 6)? #7 Bonnet Support: #10 Front Support:

    How to Remove 4-Pin LA681 Loader from L3710?

    Here is a video of someone figuring out for the first time how to dismount a four pin loader like ours (the LA680 apparently lacks the convenient swing-down legs that the LA681 has built in), also with no tools (essentially pull a couple of pins, manipulate the hydraulics, pop some hoses off...

    How to Remove 4-Pin LA681 Loader from L3710?

    That's good advice. This guy has been there with both styles and prefers ours (post): Unfortunately, I just realized that only one of my hydraulic hoses has a quick [dis]connect, so I'll just leave it on. 😒

    How to Remove 4-Pin LA681 Loader from L3710?

    I may attempt to remove the LA681 from my L3710 for the first time as I consider similar repairs. The top bar could be removed to avoid any chance of denting the hood as others have reported. With the rear pin removed, the back should rock up and off of the lower support. With the front...

    Off road, dumping trailer?

    For anyone considering a VEVOR dump trailer, cargo area dimensions are not stated clearly in the listings, so I pointed ChatGPT at "Carriage Size" specifications in the user manuals to generate this comparison for convenience: TC4268 1500 lbs 15 cu ft $275 (manual) TC4278 1600 lbs 22 cu ft $299...

    L3710 Bulb Replacements (LED/HID?)

    FWIW, I installed these LEDs in my L3710. They support both low & high beam modes and emit a bright white light that matches my ROPS light bar while drawing less current. I'm very pleased! 2 Super LED light bulbs for Kubota L3600 L3700 L3710 L3830 L4300 34070-99010
