might be time for the adjustment. lol you sound like me. lol ha ha hope you are both doing well.

Dave, glad to see your out enjoying such a beautiful day and the backdrop of those trees is just amazing! Talk about socked in the forest eh? So I'm in a rare mood after spending hours in my garage working on a new chainsaw after cutting down and trimming some trees on my property. No fan of chainsaws, for the amount of maintenance to cut some damn wood it can be defeating some days! So glad to see a new video, listening to you I am on a search for that 'ennygrease' or 'innygrease' you use because it's the best! I've always used 'Molly' grease but that innygrease sounds like the ticket? Ha, Lol, I couldn't help myself from making a joke about that. "Innygrease'(any grease) is better than no grease". Thought that was funny, but then again I have been smelling degreaser fumes for the last four hours also. Awe Ha, ha! Unrelated to this video I had a question about your draft control-box blade video ripple effect. Yes I sped up my draft to where the box dropped fairly fast and it worked wonders. Only thing is later looking I noticed small ripples I just couldn't seem to get out! Am I going too slow? Or too fast? These ripples are like 18"-24" apart and maybe 1/2"-1" deep. The tractor is rocking as it goes through first of course but even back blading with the FEL didn't get rid of them after the next box blade run? Almost got it perfect but I'm sure there must be something i'm missing. Thanks Dave.

ok so first off just to be clear its not the draft control. so if your tractor has draft control and its adjust wrong it will cause ripples. draft control is an option not all machines have. you typically use it when pulling a turning or bottom plow in garden work. when the tractor gets under a load and travel speed slows down the draft control will automatically lift the three point to allow the tractor to speed back up. this will cause the ripple effect. turn off draft control completely. the lift and lower control lever is what the valve under the seat controls. it only controls the speed of drop. that needs to be fairly fast and a slow travel speed is what you want. I hope that helps. if not you can call me, email me or respond to this thread. I will be checking it.

We’ve had our L3010 since 1999, and thanks to you, I’m able to take better care of it. Learned a lot today, thanks.

glad the video proved to be useful. that 3010 is an amazing machine. wish I had the three point mechanism on mine that came in that one.

Hi Dave. I had missed the part in my owner,s manual about removeing the breather plug. Thanks for showing us how.

I bought a 5 gal pail of Kubota grease back in 2012 and I think it may outlast me. I haven't bought grease since. I don't remember what it cost, but I do remember it was much cheaper than buying cartridges.

grease has been crazy hard to get here. almost wish I had bought the big drum of grease when I had the chance.

Excellent advice, looking forward as always for your next project!

the ck3510 is a very well made tractor. everyone I have seen the owners were very happy with it. we have a tree service here that uses one for tree work. its a beast!

Good stuff Dave, while I'm under mine I'll be checking that on my 3400 (same tractor as yours) I'm right at 1100 hrs on my tractor

Also meant to ask if you noticed the thread pitch on that adjuster bolt. Seems like it was out of adjustment by about a full turn, but I guess it's not actually much if it's a fine pitch bolt.

Thanks, Dave! Very helpful. Do you think you'll have to replace that blown seal at the housing for the pivot bolt. Or just keep it greased?

plan is to keep greased good and see how she holds

So can you tell any difference when you're driving? Thinking that seal would be difficult to replace...

I actually can feel a little relation between the front axle and the rear axle. I think that front axle may have been twisting a slight tad and I was feeling it on hills in the rear. that stopped after this adjustment. could be my imagination though. lol

Hey Dave - great video (although I don't really understand the techinical aspects). One question I have is that I always keep my BX 24 in 4WD... Should I not be doing that?

Not on pavement or hard surfaces. If you're in the grass, gravel, dirt, or mud all of the time, it should be ok to be in 4WD.
