Try adjusting the clutch so you have about an inch of easy pedal movement (free play) before the clutch actually starts to disengage. As stated above it should be possible to press it nearly to the floor.

It may need an overhaul at 1500 hours but I strongly suggest a compression check at the very least before undertaking the project. There are other possible causes of your smoke and most are less invasive than an overhaul.

Try leaving your engine at idle. Depress the clutch and engage the PTO. You can then ease the clutch out smoothly bringing the mower up to speed. Now bring the RPMs up to PTO speed. When disengaging the PTO depress the clutch first. That is the sequence told to my by my Kubota mechanic. It...

I had a Mitsubishi tractor. I bought it used and it had the wrong glow plugs. I was told the correct glow plug number by a long time Mitsubishi guy. I contacted NGK and sure enough, they came up with the same number he had given me. NGK is a really good information source but may take a day...

You should contact NGK again and ask what they recommend for a replacement. They have specs on all their glow plugs and should be able to easily cross reference it for you.

Many older tractors had no glow plug controller. They did have the glow indicator which was supposed to light when the key switch energized the glow plugs. It served to drop the voltage from the nominal twelve volts to about 10.5 volts which the glow plugs were rated for. When the glow plug...

I used a shop vac to pull a vacuum on my L2501. The threads on my fill point were one inch NPT so creating an adapter was fairly simple. Any way you do it you'll lose some fluid. There's fluid in the filter as well as a little behind it which will drain. I bought a gallon of SUDT2 to top up...

It sounds like low voltage. Check the battery voltage before start is attempted. It should be about 12.6. Continue to monitor voltage at the battery when start is attempted. If it drops below ten volts or so you may need a new battery. Charge it and have it load tested. Disconnect cables...

Look at the bulb itself. You may be able to replace the old bulb with a newer LED bulb of the same physical size rather than replacing the light fixtures themselves.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the fix. I thought all newer tractors use electronics for the hour meter. It's good to see some still use the old cable system.

You can try measuring the temperature with a gauge other than the tractor's built in unit. Sometimes they can fail. You can also try flushing and reverse flushing the radiator and the engine block.

To aid in troubleshooting you may wish to connect a twelve volt light bulb across a blown fuse and plug it in. The bulb will illuminate as long as the short exists but will limit current flow. When you get the bulb to go out you have probably found your short. Don't bother replacing the forty...

If you know anybody in the UK with a Kubota tractor you might check to see how their VIN starts. I'm in the US and mine doesn't have an actual VIN, just a serial number.

Fairly new is relative. Check battery voltage. Monitor it while trying to start. It should be at least 12.6 before trying to start and hold above 10 while trying to start. Remove cables from battery. Clean battery terminals and connectors. Inspect cables for corrosion where they enter the...

After draining all the fluid you may have to prime the pump by putting some hydraulic fluid into the input. As far as the slow loader, what's the position of your three point lever? If it's set to full up your hydraulic system may be in bypass. Back it off a tad. If that solves the problem...

I'd check in with a local hydraulic repair shop. They may be able to rebuild the cylinders for only slightly more than Kubota wants for the official kits.

Clean the battery terminals and connectors and tighten securely after replacing. Inspect carefully for any corrosion in the cables or connectors. That may not be it but it's always a good starting point. Check the fuses with an ohmmeter. Sometimes they look good but they're not. Of course...

I suspect any switch that fits the hole will work - it did with my old Mitsubishi. You may need to figure out which wire goes where. I just used an automotive ignition switch and added a spring loaded toggle switch for the glow plugs instead of buying a regular tractor switch with glow plug...

You may wish to check with a local hydraulic shop. They can probably locate the appropriate parts or just do the overhaul for you.

It appears you're seeking the LA 525 loader for your tractor. I looked at Tractor Data and found your tractor should use the LA535 loader. Either there's a type on the title or you're seeking the wrong part. Confirm with the dealer which loader you need...
