    Drum Roller Compactor

    I would personally wheel roll it with a heavy vehicle as a steel drum roller will bridge any low spots and not seal or compact your substrate. If you are filling in trenches or ruts you will have to be concerned with differential compaction where the area filled will compact to a greater degree...

    L245DT Hydraulics

    As @eserv said they do make brass inserts but they also make a nylon type that is somewhere in-between the two. The most important thing though is to make certain the alignment is spot on. That is the primary cause of failure in a lovejoy coupler.

    L2501 with 250hours - ??Significant?? amount of metal on magnet

    I know it does not look great but it is most likely not abnormal. Also I believe the filters do not have a bypass like the engine oil filter has.

    Remote Oil Filter

    Most if not all modern engines use full flow filtration in their lube circuits if they are using filtration. I have not seen bypass only filters used on anything manufactured in the last 40-50 yrs. Everything Kubota produces uses full flow as far as I have seen, even my old L225 is full flow...

    Temporary power steering loss on nearly new L4060

    The intended flow of oil through the cooler is not as you describe. It should exit the top of the HST case and flow through the cooler and to the inlet of the hyd. pump. This is called case drain oil and is generally has the most heat of any compartment or oil in the system. For this reason I...

    Adjustment on spool valve

    Please take a look at the hyd. diagram for the BH77 control valve and report back. Hint it is a parallel circuit. I have drawn up how oil would flow using stick and bucket in at the same time.

    Adjustment on spool valve

    What you are describing is the way the bower beyond function works in the loader valve. The control valve on the BH77 is more like a series/parallel set up. In neutral position with no spools actuated oil flows through the center passage of each spool and out the tank port but oil is also...

    M5700 Hydraulics

    You can always try plugging the vent and pouring some oil down the suction line before attaching t to the pump. That should help a little as the level of oil in the suction tube will hopefully be higher than the transmission oil level.

    Kubota L3540 stuck in Reverse

    You say it only travels in reverse. Does it return to neutral and stop traveling when the pedal is in the neutral position? What does the tractor do when you push the pedal forward and does it push forward at all? It does sound like a linkage related issue but the parts breakdown shows 2...

    M5700 Hydraulics

    When you reassemble everything remove plug, reference #75 and try blowing air into the transmission housing through the fill port to try and charge the suction line. It will probably be easier with 2 people so you can reinstall the plug when oil comes out of it.

    V1505T Can Injector Pump Be Put Together Wrong?

    Reference #5 shows the barrel and plunger assembly. I am not sure about the barrel but yes the plunger can be installed 180 degrees out. If this is done that injector will receive maximum fuel delivery and can cause the runaway condition. It also may not stop because that plunger scroll will not...

    Get ready for the Grease Shortage

    Air filters OEM or aftermarket

    Just shown in the last reply they are usually formed into the elbow off the air filter housing.

    Maybe an odd question but here goes

    That's not exactly how it works on the larger HST's with a cooler. The oil flow that propels the machine is in a closed loop, meaning the oil flows from the pump to the motor and back to the pump to be sent back to the motor again and again. During this process you will have leakage past the...

    Asphalt Millings for Driveway / Parking around shed?

    I've worked around asphalt in one capacity or another for over 35yrs. Millings can make a nice driveway but they do have to be rolled in well and as said it is best of done before hot temps so the heat can help set them. You can also spray them with diesel fuel to help bind them. They will...

    The PRICE of super UDT2 - are you kidding?

    What is in your manual are recommendations. Kubota cannot require you use any specific brand of oil. What you use is only supposed to meet the requirements of the OEM recommended fluid. As Fordtech posted it does not even state it has to be UDT but specifically mentions "standard...

    The PRICE of super UDT2 - are you kidding?

    What documentation does anyone have that says that any Kubota tractor requires SUDT and no other fluid?

    LA682 WSM

    Anyone have one to share? I see one on Flea Bay buy they are asking $187 which I think is a bit overpriced. I do have the OM but just want the added detail the WSM has.
