    Using backhoe to push my L2502

    Does your tractor come to a stop when you take your foot off of the hydro pedal? If it does, there is resistance to rolling. It's an easy maneuver to put it into neutral before moving it with the backhoe. Don't risk damaging your transmission for the sake of a quick flick of the lever.

    Telescopic stabilizer kit opinions?

    I build telescoping stabilizers for BX tractors, they are heavier duty than the Messicks version, similar price range shipped ($7 difference), and mine are warrantied for 1 year. If interested, PM me.

    Turning the pumps up!

    From another site- both tractors had the hydraulics turned up. I know no other details, so it's no use asking. I'm just posting them to contemplate the end results.

    Complelty lost looking for hitch components

    He does ship. I have friends with an L2350- I can get photos and measurements of their 3 point (it's all original, other than telescoping stabilizers that I made for it), if needed.

    Complelty lost looking for hitch components

    B series parts aren't correct. You need L series stuff- longer lift arms, longer/heavier stabilizers and side links, etc. Contact Daryl Grammer- he's a member here, and he has a Kubota salvage yard in Alabama. mossycreekoutdoors.comMossy Creek Outdoors - Largest Kubota B and BX Salvage Yard ...

    Does this exist - BX Hydro Filter "Armor"

    It wouldn't be hard to find a local fabricator who could make one.

    L3901 Tractor runs 5 minutes then stalls

    Check your fuel tank for debris in it. I've seen it more than once- bacteria that forms, then coagulates into a glob. It floats around, and gets sucked to the fuel inlet. When it does, it restricts or stops fuel flow. Tractor shuts off, vacuum ceases, and it floats around again. Start it up, it...

    Stabilizer on my L4802

    Correct- the pins do not have to be symmetrically placed. There are variations that may not enable that, and symmetry does not affect performance. As long as your implement is in the position that you want, pin the stabilizers and go for it.

    First Black Smoke, then overheating and then a loud "thump" from the engine. What happened??

    Welcome to the forum. You may get some suggestions, but what you really need is someone mechanically inclined to look at it in person. Coolant level, contaminant in the oil, pull injectors and see if the cylinders are hydro locked, etc. Without lots of detailed information, you'll get stabs in...

    Predator Motors

    They're probably like Holzforma saws. The patents have expired, so they can legally copy them.

    What is Messick's Smoking

    Remember the commercial "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"? Shipping is a significant determiner today. It would be in Messicks best interest to get a handle on this- I utilize their extensive parts diagrams, but I order very little from them. Between my local dealer and...

    How to start diagnosing crank-no-start on a kubota common rail diesel

    I know that on automobiles, if the voltage drops below 11.2 or something like that while starting, it will affect the electronics.
