Flexible Red LED strips routed under the dash along the leading edge. Wire into the the dash lights and you have a nice red glow lighting up the footwell area. Keep in mind LEDs are directional, before you adhere the strips, check your routing at night and 'twist' the strips until you achieve...

I just ordered a couple of switches and thought I'd share an excellent source for illuminated and custom switches. Plus this chap can etch the switch with whatever wording or object you want (keep it clean!). He handles Carling Contura switches and there is no minimum quantity. Shipping is...

I installed an RED LED light ($3.85 from Radio Shack) just below the shifter. Easy to wire in. Light has 2 wires attached them to the two wires at the Parking Brake Light in the dash panel. The LED is bright enough to catch your attention in broad daylight. takes less than 15 minutes to...

This finned panel is on my '06. I'm thinking Kubota figured this out fairly early in the life cycle of the RTV. I found a piece of stainless steel panel with 3/4" holes drilled every 1" in staggered rows, cut it to same dimensions as the finned panel, drilled the mounting holes and sandwiched...

Just got back home from SEMA (Las Vegas), Lizardskin is the recommended product fro exterior sound deadening. It will stick t both steel and plastic (engine cover under the seating area). The folks at the Dynamat booth were great but do not recommend underbody exterior exposure to their...

Well we got 16" of snow last night here in Northwest NJ. I fought to the urge until the last minute but gave in - put the plow on and went to work (okay so I went out to play). Turned the heater on, tuned the radio and about 2 hrs later my wife called and asked if I was ever coming back in the...

Any consideration for weathering of the dynamat? The dynamat material I've used is not designed for exterior use. I have thought about doing the same to my cab. I have found some very dense foam which I used to 'plug' the holes at the seat belt anchors and the dump bed lever, around the roll...

Which engine oil – always a controversial question. Me, I use Shell Rotella T 15w40 in all my diesels – RTV, JD 4310 & F250 7.3l. In my garden tractor and mowers I use Shell Rotella T 30w. Never had any issues w/lubrication failures, oil consumption or sludging. Been using it for 15+ years...

The slots in the mounting indicate this is adjustable. Any idea what that adjustmemt procedure is? I'm guessing that you adjust so there is no free play. But that's a guess.

Saw a set up at SEMA 2 years ago. Can't remember the manufacturer. Set up was very clean, air compressor mounted under the hood. Just not sure how partiical for an RTV. Seems their target audince was the Polaris Side by Side crowrd. Go fast, leap tall hill tops, and slide into turns...

I offer a tip that I use on front wheel drive vehicles to prolong the life of the CV Joint - when replacing the boots on both sides (if one is dry rotten the other will follow) switch CV Joints side to side. This reduces the wear as the driving surface as it is now 180 degrees from it's...

You should be aware that once you cut off the spare arrestor, the exhaust tone will change and be slightly louder at idle. Any power increase will be in your mind, not at the wheels, unless your exhaust was clogged prior to removing the arrestor. At least that is my experience. Don't forget to...

Hopefully I did this correctly and it is still of some use to you. Attached is a photo of the throttle spring attchemnt points on my '02 4310.

For what it's worth - the issue of spline wear - stub axle to hub - has been around in the automotive business for years. One manufacture (who only manufactures 4WD/AWD vehicles) recommends using Loctite 648 to repair the click/clunk noise typically heard when changing direction i.e. forward to...

Hey Captain Q: Your exterior mirrors - can you tell me if they vibrate and how bad? I need exterior mirrors for backing up when plowing. The part number you provided, description is 'plastic'. I'm guessing that is the housing, the mirror is glass. Just trying to make a decision or plastic or...

Thanks jd110. I thought I was done w/the service until I decided to repaint the front grille, which lead to claening the battery terminals, which lead to pulling the battery to cleaning the battery tray, neturalizing the damage caused by battery acid venting, preping and painting the tray etc...

I was servicing my 4310 Compact today and noticed a loose bolt in the support bracket in front of the front axle. This is a 5/16" bolt w/locking nut, threaded into the center of the front support. I checked the JD Parts diagrams and it is not pictured. My best guess is it applies preload to...
