BAP - there is a "secret" way to avoid that! I assume that you are referring to the ad that is usually installed as the second "post" in a thread and that there is a picture in the first post you want to see. BEFORE you open the picture, ensure that the top of the ad is below the bottom of...

Either will work but most people will do both (heat hole and chill shaft) to maximize the clearance between the parts and increase the working time to install the shaft. Heating alone may be enough, Chilling alone may be enough. Getting the shaft halfway into the hole and getting it stuck is...

Move toward the switch from the glow plugs, checking for voltage. See this attached link. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11828 You probably have a hole in the dash with a silver ring around it (near the glow plug switch) that looks like a lens is missing. IF so...

Glad you got it figured out. I think to answer the original question "how to check the switch" I would have disconnected the first glow plug wire taken a volt meter and connected its red lead to the glow plug lead and the black lead to (a very good) ground. Turn on key and then turn glow plug...

If I recall correctly the indicator also reduces the voltage to the glow plugs so if you jump over it you may burn out your glow plugs. I think I saw that on a thread here on OTT so you may search for that to verify or read your schematic to see if it has a voltage shown at the glow plugs...

If you have the owner's manual there will be a diagram showing the maximum weight at the end of the 3PH arms and the maximum weight of implements that should be attached (lists different weights for different implements in mine - assumes they knew center of gravity of implement). I also agree...

Something in the L175, L185 and up series would work for you. These are pretty old tractors so there is some parts obsolete which can turn your tractor into parts... I would start out searching through the model numbers and identify the oldest year model you feel comfortable owning. Go from...

ISMurphy started the link below and showed some quarts of paint that looked good. If you send him a PM he may be able to help on the color. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9444&highlight=paint You may also be able to use the small canister sprayers that use CO2...

This link shows a L175 that is split. One side used a floor jack to support while splitting, other side was hung from rafters. I also recall seeing someone use the pedestal from an office chair (old and sturdy version of chair) as the support for half...

See this article - it has Kubota paint numbers and places to use them. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/2008/10/kubota-paint-part-numbers-where-to-apply-and-how-much/

The clutch plate is probably rusted to the flywheel and not separating when the clutch pedal is pressed. There are methods to break it free but you will need to search for those posts, I can't recall the process well enough to try to tell. There is pulling and popping the clutch, starting it...

They are M12x1.25 thread x 30mm long. Kubota part number 01173-51230

I know that Grainger and McMaster Carr sell it in 10 foot boxes. I am pretty sure that Tractor Supply sells a cheap version. Here is an example. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/DAYTON-Roller-Chain-2YDY8?Pid=search It comes in different sizes so you may need to figure that out. It is...

Was the pipe threaded in or was it press fit in?

Specifically it is the ad that is always the second "post" in any thread and there is a picture in the first post. If the add in the second post is partially up into the screen, it will be on top of the picture when it is opened from the first post.

I was just on the Kubota USA site and the parts list worked fine. Try this link to the main page, then parts, then illustrated parts list and accept terms. http://www.kubota.com/default.aspx At one time I had trouble with Internet Explorer and some of the addons messing up the Kubota site...

Here is the instructions from the manual on my cutter. Step 8 would allow the tail wheel to be in contact with the ground at all times during normal operation (except when the lift function was all the way up). I think that all of them all have about the same instructions: 1. Park the...

The voltage of the tractor should be 12 V. You state that the motor is 12V. This is common voltage on ATVs and can be verified on the motor nameplate. The voltage should not be a problem. The motor nameplate should also state how many amps the motor will draw. The sizing of the wire and...

First - prepare to be berated for the use of ether....by others.... There is a method to use glow plugs to get it fired off when "cold". There is usually a key position or starter switch position to hold for 15 to 30 seconds and then start cranking. Also there is usually a compression...
