It's a B2650 not a Grand L or ultragrand "M" series. Sound deadening materials such as Dynamat on the flat sheet metal will help some. Use of Jute could also help a little and Jute also has the benefit of temperature insulation. But you still have a bunch of glass to deal with, all the Jute...

yes they can be totally disassembled and repaired. Kubota offers (or used to...I haven't been into one in a while) most of the parts for the valve assembly. What loader model is it?

....and the ROPS/Canopy, loader and backhoe subframe. There's where most of the time is consumed on the L35 split. Have done 3 or 4. Then the shuttle shift lever where it goes down onto the transmission can be a real bear to get off. That's really the worst parts. Once that's out of the...

Very important to find out WHY it failed, and what specific parts. This should give us a clue which direction to go with it. I've only seen ONE HST die in the 20+ years of messing with tractors, and it was due to a combination of 3 things: lack of maintenance, poor fluid quality, and abuse...

Check the coolant voltage once every so often. Once every 5 years is plenty for most folks. Once it gets to about 0.5v, it's getting time to replace it. DVOM + probe in the coolant and the - tester probe on the radiator core. Once the coolant starts getting acidic, it basically becomes a...

Good machine shop should be able to sleeve it and it'd be usable again I would think? Or is the hole all the way through the exterior of the block? EPA doesn't want any of the old engines in service anymore, and sooner or later they'll be harder and harder to find.

It is an "interim tier 4". Which means no DPF to mess with.

There should be a "brake" on the PTO pulley, that stops the pulley from turning when in the "off" position. Make sure it's there and not broken or just worn out. Seen more than a few that the brake assembly was just removed totally. And seen probably twice as many that the little grease...

check fuses first. Fix any that are broken. Secondly, there is a ton of wiring on these tractors, and some of it is underneath, and partially exposed. So if you're in anything rough-a.k.a anything that the tractor is supposed to be used for-it's entirely possible for a stick or limb or tree...

I like to adjust the cable so that the lever engages about halfway between off and on. I do this without the implement's pto shaft attached to the tractor. Start engine and engage pto slowly without using the clutch, idle speed only. You should start to feel it engage, kind of a clacking...

Usually have to cut the knobs off. They are glued.

Take the fender off. Then clean the transmission really good. There is a metal pipe that runs from the bottom of the transmission to the top. The bottom has a 27mm hex head "bolt" holding it into the trans case. Remove it, and there's a filter attached to the "bolt".....be forewarned, you'll...

It is normal. You are hearing the clearance between the gears. It's a little 3 cylinder engine, and the firing pulses are 240° apart (90° short of a full rotation). Each time a cylinder fires, the crankshaft and everything attached to it accelerates, then because of the 240° of rotation...

I haven't messed with one of those tractors in a decade or so. But is there not a plug on the side of the 3 point hitch lift cylinder to check pressure with?

That line (kubota calls it a "pipe") is a direct connection between the sump (trans case) and the charge pump. That's why there is a suction filter on the end of it. The charge pump is what "charges" the hydrostatic part of the transmission-i.e, the part that makes it go forwards and...

There were TWO different engines for the L3400 ;) One was 1.6L. The other 1.8L, going off of memory. The latter being a Interim Tier IV engine ;)

What is the trade in value with it broken, IF they'll trade for it? Keep in mind, they're going to assume the worst, might be $4500 to fix it, if the trade in value was $10k, they'll deduct $4500 from it. Many dealers won't even trade for them if they're broken, but it's worth asking. would a...

Another option is to order and install John Deere part number AM107421, starter relay kit.

On the old ZD series the major problem was the HST's failing, and mostly due to lack of maintenance and/or operation in really hot weather. I have heard of this issue but more commonly in the Southern states that see 100 degrees+ for months on end. But good news, I am told the ZD18's did not...
