    Hi Vic. Is there a grey Kubota that is offset row crop like the L245H? Had a customer in yesterday who is looking for something like that. He has a International 140 now he says is worn out and he wants to replace it. I think he wants fairly new though. Ed Service

    Hi. Does the l210 have tubeless tires? I would have thought that vintage of machine would have had tubes. Ed:confused:

    L3130 lost power steering??

    There is no bulletins about it or kubota tips yet. Will be interesting to see what it's about! we have 15 -20 of these tractors we've sold and no complaints yet!

    L295DT Timing Slipped - why?

    Hi As an interesting aside to this problem I did have the timing slip in a kubota M9000 once! The tractor came in, very hard to start, smoking bad and wouldn't rev past 1500 rpm. I did a compression test, all good, Checked injection timing alright as well. removed the front cover and the...

    L295DT Timing Slipped - why?

    Hi fj40dave. Your timing hasn't slipped. The middle gear on that engine is simply an idler gear and as such is not a 2 to one ratio with the other gears. if you turn the engine over enough times it will probably all line up again or you can simply put the cam, injection pump and crankshaft so...

    Killed 2 Regulators B7100HST

    Another quirk of the Kubota regulator is that it will not work unless it "sees" a battery. I found this out back in the early 90's. I was working on Chev engines used to drive oil well pumps in the oilfield. We had a lot of trouble with people stealing the batteries from the engines because they...

    Killed 2 Regulators B7100HST

    I also find it hard to believe..... BUT I and most likely you, have seen stranger things in our career!. It IS possible also to charge a battery backwards if it is completely discharged! My father did just that years ago on the 1959 chev truck. Burnt up the regulator on it too and caused me a...

    Killed 2 Regulators B7100HST

    Yes, You are actually right! It does produce AC and is actually an alternator! But Unlike a conventional alternator it produces "wildly" because it is a permanent magnet alternator and the regulator dumps the excess power to ground. that is why the regulator requires the large cooling fins that...

    Voltage Regulator

    If your tractor is newer than 20128 the regulator is in the alternator.

    B2410 Jerky steering

    Hi, Yes, I know what is wrong with your b2410! The power steering return line returns into the suction line to your hydraulic pump. after you run your tractor fast for a considerably long time it sucks air from the steering box and cause the jerky steering. If you go to a kubota dealer get...

    Killed 2 Regulators B7100HST

    Hi, This explanation of how an alternator works is very good..... except in the case of the B7100HST which uses a dynamo! About the only way you can burn out a regulator on one of them is if you reverse the battery polarity ( or charge the battery backwards). The dynamo on most smaller kubotas...

    Belly mower cutting height adjustment

    To adjust mower cutting height on any BX tractor you start with adjusting tire pressure to specifications. adjust three point hitch so it is raising as far as it will go without actually hitting top and going over relief (you should be able to lift the arms a little bit by hand when it is...

    Water in tranny fluid question

    I wouldn't bother changing the filter till you have it cleaned up.a dirty filter filters better than a clean one until it starts to bypass or doesn't allow enough flow. I'm sure some will disagree with me though! Ed service

    Hydraulic slow lifting issue

    well at least you "proved" there was nothing wrong with your pump!!:o A worn out pump wouldn't have broke!;) Never tried jb weld to fix a broken pump but what have you to lose except your time? Ed Service

    Water in tranny fluid question

    It'll take a while to get it completely cleaned up if it's that bad. Just change the oil and run it till it's warmed up then drain it and install new oil. do this a few times till it's cleaned up. no need to use expensive oil either, I'd use inexpensive 10w30 engine oil till it's clean then put...

    Is it possible to swap rear ends?

    Rear Main Oil Seal leak - L2050DT

    I've done lots of clutch jobs on much bigger tractors than Kubota makes using two 6 ton floor jacks, you should be alright. I think the manual will give you all the information you need also. lining up the clutch disc might be a challenge but again, I've "eyeballed" dozens of them and have never...

    Rear Main Oil Seal leak - L2050DT

    The problem is not the possible wrenches or sockets you might need it's supporting the tractor properly to roll the front end (or rear end) away to gain access to the flywheel area. Most auto mechanics have none of thetools to do this. ( a cement block and a bottle jack won't suffice!! I'm not...

    bx 2230 won't shut off

    If there is power there then the solinoid is faulty ( or not adjusted properly if it IS moving). If there is no power there then take it to a dealer to have it repaired. You are then venturing into the safety interlock system and I will not advise anyone in repairing it themselves! I don't want...

    bx 2230 won't shut off

    Kubota BX series use a stop solinoid that gets energized to pull the fuel rack back which stops the engine. It is energized for a short time when you shut off the key then returns to relaxed position. Disconnect the wire at the solinoid ( right above fuel injection pump) and test to see if there...
