Take blade off. There is a circlip behind the blade. Remove it. Then pull off the blade boss, the metal part that the blade 'seats' against. Then the gearbox should come off.

Runs for a length of time, then you said it "sputters" and within 30 seconds dies. When it starts to sputter, does using the choke smooth it back out temporarily? If it does, you have a fuel system problem for sure. I use a nurse tank for doing this. An old IV stand with an old lawn mower...

Is it HST or GST or gear drive? HST transmission has it's own pump, internal, called a charge pump. If no travel with an HST, could be a lot of things ranging from hst failure to charge pump failure to clutch disc failure, etc. No drive with a DT-usually clutch (but not always). No drive...

Sounds like a clutch pack problem. That or a linkage adjustment, but knowing what I know of that transmission (and it's history), I'd lean more toward a clutch pack issue....

Does it have a mulching kit, or are you using mulching blades?

L2900 has several possibilities. Failing key stop timer. Failing solenoid. Failing/bad connection. Fuse or fuse holder issue. defective wiring. In my experience, the order of commonality is listed above from most common to least. The WSM tells how to test the key stop timer. And you can use...

What was the pressure at the 3 point hitch, which is where the tractor is supposed to be checked per the WSM?

Because Kubota wanted a new loader to go with the new tractor. The 524 is basically the same thing with a few minor differences. The 525 will fit the old L3200/L3800 just fine just as the LA524 will also fit the L2501 and L3301/L3901. Some dealers stocked up on LA524's and maybe they sold a...

Reverse rotation tines might help in a situation like that. Land Pride makes one. I sure like mine. RTR1258.

I did deliveries for a tractor dealer for a few years. I learned the hard way. Nobody trained me, I didn't know any better. Unloading a customer's brand new M4000, using a chevy dually to pull it. Ramps were traditional style hook them onto the back of the trailer, no legs. Guy lives on a...

Your flow control valve is stuck. Seen plenty of them stuck exactly as yours. Sometimes some good penetrating fluid can free them. Other times they have to be removed and freed, and other times just replace the necessary parts. That's the way it's supposed to work. You "tighten" the FC...

Just got through messing with a MX5000, previous owner did same thing-starting it with ether in the cool mornings. Guy who bought it came to me complaining of "injector knock" and hard starting. I get it in front of me and have 250 psi compression on 3 cylinders and #4 had 145. Pull head...

When that system is working properly, it will blow an automotive a/c system away. Most of them anyway. This is speaking of the vent temperatures specifically. The problem is this. An M9000 has a lot of windows. Windows are very poor insulators when it comes to a/c and heat systems. Thus...

Had a similar problem at one point, same tractor (MX5100, turbocharged), turned out to be injection pump issue.

yes drain all fluid, from all drain plugs (there are 3 or 4). Just use Kubota semi gloss gray paint as it's really high quality and it matches perfectly. It's actually VERY good paint. I painted a car once with a bunch of rattle cans, Kubota Bright Orange II, and it turned out great!

And make sure both belt guides are installed and adjusted properly. I can't remember on the 70 series but on the 60 series (T1560, etc) the rear guide (on the deck pulley) can be installed 2 different ways. If installed backwards the blades will try to engage with the PTO lever "off".

Next time it does it, hold the key to the start position and move the park brake back and forth from on to off a few times while holding the key in the start position and see if this makes it act any differently. I have a suspicion but want to know what it's doing before going further.

Put your pressure gauge either on the loader control valve fitting. Disconnect all 4 hoses and just pick one of the fittings on the valve itself. Then with the engine at rated speed, move the loader control valve and watch your pressure gauge. If psi is low at the valve, then you'll want to...

Check battery voltage first. If good, I'd suggest adjusting the HST switch.

.....and you are supposed to check it at rated engine speed, not at idle speed. IOW, about 2500 RPM, and at operating temperature. Reason being, if you set it at idle speed to, say, 2500 psi, and lock it down....then when the tractor's being used at, say 2800 RPM, your pressure can be 300 psi...
