    New L2501

    And also consider a few things: L2501's maximum governed RPM is what? 2200 RPM? The L3200's max governed RPM is somewhere closer to 3000. The L2501's transmission is geared as such to run approximately the same speed as the L3200, but at less engine RPM. Same for the PTO. Change the...

    L3010 Front axle repair

    When the bearing failed, where did all of the parts of it end up? 99% of the time, the metal just drops into the housing, then gravity pulls it down into the lower kingpin bearing area, which is why I suggest to pull the cap off of the bottom of the kingpin, remove the retaining ring and the...

    rtvx900

    What is the history? Has it been serviced? Leaks? Is this something that just one day you're riding along and it just stopped pulling? Or? I have a suspicion but I want to know the history of it before going further.

    Kubota Blue Paint

    On this subject, those of you who have sprayed Kubota's paint, how did you go about it? What do you use for thinner or reducer? I've tried to spray it in the past and had zero luck with it. Unless it was in a Kubota aerosol can. The blue is still available in aerosols through kubota. I...

    air filter broken brackets bx23

    Ask your dealer to refer to PSB-2003-018. That said, the air filter location on the pre bx-50 series tractors was poor, IMO. The filter is on a metal bracket that is too far away from the engine, which enhances vibration when the engine is turned on and then again when the engine is turned...

    hydrualic pressure problem

    It has been a few years since I've been into an L35. But...I do remember a few things. On the back, there are two levers. They need to be pulled out or pushed in depending on whether a backhoe is installed or not. There are stickers indicating this. If one or both is in the incorrect...

    Holiday Dinner

    We had turkey. Smoked in a homemade smoker that came from the landfill, using natural hickory wood soaked in pond water. No, seriously. Thats what we had. That and the fixin's to go with it. Pies, cornbread stuffing, taters & gravy, etc. Was going to have ham, and I had one in the freezer...

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    well I'm more of a "dog person" than a cat person. I'll tolerate felines but rather have a dog. Live by myself and since I work full time, I'm away from home often. I couldn't leave a dog alone that long. Got lonely by myself and adopted a stray kitten who's mom died just after birth. Lady I...

    Smokers

    No. I made my own smoker. My brother works at a landfill and scrounged up an old air compressor, about 80 gallon, no pump or motor. I cut the top off of it and weldd it onto an old grill. The top part that I cut off, is the water bowl. Last spring my brother lost a big hickory tree, it...

    MOPAR gear heads

    I know a guy who runs an early 70's dart with a 360/408. It runs VERY well. Makes about 650 hp, on a mild build. 350hp out of one would be hard not to do. Cylinder heads will limit you more than anything but the aftermarket can/will handle that easily. The B and RB engines would go right...

    L3301 hydraulics remote kit ???

    It's all really REALLY easy to do it all...using the Kubota stuff. They make kits to put the 3rd function on for FEL grapple, and they also offer a complete rear remote valve kit with different options there as well. Sounds like the Mrs. might appreciate the easy way so she can get her laundry...

    gear oil in a 4x4 front end

    85w140 and 80w90 leaks out a little slower than UDT but it still leaks out. I have an L4330 in the shop now that customer neglected. His front axle repair is about $4000. Set of seals and $250 would have solved it last year but he didn't have time to mess with it. Kept pouring oil into it...

    BX2370 - Can't remove engine side skirts with front grill guard in place

    The newer BX25's has helped this issue. The older BX's, every stinking one of them makes me invent new words when I have to work on them. Fuel filters especially. But it is to be expected when you have a full featured tractor, but 1/6 the size. Everything's packed together tight. Had one in...

    There was a TSB for this. Ask your dealer. New part fixes it once and for all.

    New L2501

    He gets caught doing it....and the USEPA will make him wish he was dead. Big no-no. Possible to do it? Absolutely. And I have the stuff to do it. But not as easy as a pump swap. Governor, springs, stoppers, pump, etc. And 33hp is conservative. L2501 is a GREAT tractor. Little...

    l3710 THE 3 POINT IS STUCK WILL NOT COME DOWN

    In order of the most frequent to the least frequent: drop speed control "off" (you've ruled that out). position control feedback link came loose/off. lift lever roll pin sheared (unlikely unless the lever is forced somehow) position control valve problem hydraulic cylinder problem.

    L 2350 steering

    The expense would have to be a LOT less for me to justify running a tractor that is equipped with a loader, with no power steering. Brings back memories of the old B7300's with a loader. Impossible to steer it with the loader installed, much less a load in the bucket. Then when one tire his a...

    Fuel pump failure L3800

    I have seen cases where a hose, from filter to lift pump, has gotten air into it. It throws a lot of seasoned techs for a loop, and their first thought is that the lift pump is junk, and they replace it to find that it still won't pump. The air gets into the hose and it won't let fuel reach...
