    Broken step and Loader pin installation help please

    Unless I missed something. The broken weld is on the step, not the loader.

    Broken step and Loader pin installation help please

    Wiggling the stick back and forth to relieve pressure should allow a slight amount of movement. Not sure if it will be enough. But you may be able to have someone move the stick (with the tractor not running) in the direction you are trying to move the arm, this should in theory open that valve...

    Diesel Dummie question

    Im no expert. But I’ve aways thought it was due to incomplete burned diesel fuel and it being injected into a cold combustion chamber. you will probably notice more smoke at start up as well. even when really cold, it should clear up within about 20 seconds or less. Also, I usually hold the...

    Kubota L2800 HST tractor running hot

    Have you inspected the brush hog itself to make sure its not binding and creating more drag? Have you checked the gear box on the brush hog?

    Kubota Loader Spool fault

    Hard to tell in the video. It it looks like you have the dump/curl hooked up to your loader up and down function. If thats the case, the “float” function of the up and down can cause the curl to react odd. does your loader valve have a left and right function? Your dump and curl function...

    MX5100 engine ticking sound

    Are you sure its not the injectors? If you haven't already, I would call your local kubota dealer and talk to a service manger. Most of the time (depending on the dealer) they can be pretty helpful and will offer advice. If its something common with that model, they will surely know of it...

    Don’t understand bolt setup on l1500

    if you can't remove the fan, you can try to use some red loctite on the nut and stud, it may hold enough to remove the stud from the engine. If that doesn't work, you can use so JB weld. If that doesn't work, you can weld the nut to the stud. You will have to buy a couple of new studs and nuts...

    What's it worth? Kubota L2500 4x4 w/Loader

    Just doing a quick search, I found several at dealers for around 8K. Non of them look as clean as the one you have pictured. Also, most did not have the loader. So I would say its a fair price. As said, the compact tractors really hold their value. I would suspect you could purchase it, use it...

    L3430HST Won't go forward but goes backwards fine...

    Does it make any noise when trying to go forward? Or is there nothing at all? I believe the forward and reverse use different relief valves. If that’s the case, you may just have a sticky relief valve on the forward side. Also check the fluid level if you haven’t already. May not be a bad...

    Advice for newbie

    I love my level indicator. I've used tractors without them and it is difficult for me personally to not have one. I also use the Float function most of the time when going into a pile. I've gotten now to where you can barely see any witness of the bucket being on the ground. Just what ever pile...

    Frame bolts. Is this normal?

    Looking at the second picture, it looks like the spacer was also welded on. Is that a weld that is broken free? Even more reason to worry in my opinion. It could just be spot weld for assembly, but doesn't look good if it is broken. If the dealer said to just retighten, I would see if a Kubota...

    Frame bolts. Is this normal?

    is it still under warranty? It really looks like the frames hole has worn oval from being loose or the bolt itself has worn down. I don’t think you would be able to see that much of the hole otherwise. Hopefully the bolt itself has worn and not the frame, but the frame usually wears before...

    BX2816 Linear Actuator Mod

    I bought a cheap one on eBay. Was like 30 dollars. It was a 700lb 6 inch stroke. It takes about 4 seconds to go from full low to high travel positions.as said, the higher the load capacity, the slower it will travel. I also bought a momentary switch as well. I actually used the power from my...

    Able to lift the FEL by hand?

    I would inspect the quick couplers. Pop them off and look down inside the female side. Sometimes, the O-ring becomes damaged and will allow pressure to be release. Also, sometimes, a coupler not fully seated can cause odd problems. I would also inspect the hose that was replaced to make sure...

    L4310 won't shift into low range

    If all looks good from the outside and your doing The obvious clutch and stopped while shifting and no load on the tractor, it may be internal. When was the last time the fluid and or filters changed? It may be worth it to drop the filter just to make sure there isn’t any major metal on the...

    FEL won’t curl

    Well long story short, it turns out at some point the blue and red caps on the tractor were switched. I’m thinking this may have happened at the dealer when they changed the HST, but not 100 percent sure. I thought of this earlier and switched them, but I must not have had the coupler fully...

    FEL won’t curl

    So I removed my front end snowblower today and hooked up the FEL. For some reason, the curl function wont work. It’s a bit odd. if I pull the lever left it dumps. If I push the lever right it dumps. If I go right past the detent to the right (pos 2) it will curl. The up and down function...
