    Kubota 400 ci backfire issue

    Seeing how it's fuel injection, I would run some techron cleaner in the tank, you possibly have build up on the back side of the intake valve, you did say it's dusty. The gunk will absorb the incoming fuel and alter the flow, creating a bad combustion process, another thought, if the temperature...

    L2900 splitting the tractor

    Good to know, thanks, sometimes saving a buck comes with compromises, at this point, I, we are not sure of the failure, two years ago I replaced the front axle seals for it, the owner let me spread a load of gravel before he took it, at the end of the load, the clutch was not disengaging...

    Thanks for the reply, I was starting to doubt my abilities, I was gonna give up and go back to selling oranges on the side of the road, lol. I do have another question, can I get a aftermarket clutch or should I stay with oem?

    Update, had friend(owner) come over, with no progress on separation, we cut the lower shaft with a sawzall, he found a used part for 20$, it will be a lot easier to remove the lower piece with the tractor separated, bash me if you want, I felt like a hack doing so, lol, thanks again to all, I'll...

    Yes, you are correct on the seam, my bad, living and learning, lol, back to the removal of shuttle shaft, I have tapped on the upper joint as best as possible, not much room for a swing of the hammer, I have tried to pry up on the lower joint as well, no luck on either

    Rereading the wsm, it states, remove the shuttle shaft lever, then remove panel frame assembly, totally backwards, lol, the frame assembly shrouds the dual roll pins, they are parallel to the tractor with no access hole, so remove the frame assembly screws and raise it a few inches to get a...

    L2900 splitting the tractor

    Good point, there are two ways to do this, one is, disconnect the shuttle shift assembly and leave the steering hoses attached to the wheel, let the assembly stay with the front half, there is plenty of hose movement to do so, two is, disconnect steering hydraulic hoses to remove remove entire...

    L2900 splitting the tractor

    Another thought was heat, but the fuse box is right above it, will I get into more trouble? Per procedure, I have the steering column assembly raised as far as it will go, it's stopping on the u joint on shuttle shifter, it had to be raised to access the dual roll pins., The other problem with...

    L2900 splitting the tractor

    I should have started out by saying, thanks for your time. I removed the hold down bolt and tried pulling up on the shaft, it came up a 1/4" and stopped. That's when I looked at tranny picture and the fork is stopping it. At that same time I could move the lever back and forth with no...

    L2900 splitting the tractor

    170 and 190 in the picture are the dual roll pins, they are out, still no release, also in the picture it shows the bolt still in place, that's holding the shaft in place coming out of the transmission, in the manual next picture it shows that shaft is welded to a fork in the tranny, so I think...

    Greetings all, I need some help. I have started the process of splitting the tractor for clutch replacement, I'm at a standstill. I can't remove the shuttle shift rod off of the transmission. It took me a bit to remove the dual roll pins, got them out with some patience. I am thinking it's just...
