It will be a standard nut - I don't know the size. Take the remaining nut to the hardware store to match. Note - it could be SAE or metric. Many are similar in physical size but you can't swap one for the other. Be sure the old nut and the new nut will turn onto the same bolt at the hardware...

I have a new Kubota L2501 and an old Mitsubishi D2350. Both came with a key switch having four distinct positions. You may insert or remove your key from the off position. Turning the key to the left activates the glow plugs. Turning the switch to the right is the run position. The next...

I don't think that's a bad price. For comparison I paid about $20,000 for my L2401 with loader. So far it's done everything I've asked of it. I've got about ten acres, by the way.

I believe any reputable dealer would stand behind what he sells. I do not know if that tiller was sold as new or used. If it was new the dealer probably will stand behind it. He may not be anxious to refund the purchase price but at the very least should handle a warranty repair. If the...

If the loader works to your satisfaction there's nothing to work on. If any problem does come from the control valves there are some pretty tight tolerances in there and unless you have a hydraulic shop you probably don't have the equipment to work with it. Try comparing loader function to a...

Unless you're definite on the B series you could investigate the L2501. I think it's in the same price range but a physically somewhat larger tractor. Ground clearance is greater but a belly mower or mid PTO is not an option.

The BX is basically a small tractor - probably overkill for what you want but it will certainly do everything you want and more besides. As far as the John Deere goes, are you SURE the transmission is going? Sometimes riding mowers lose the fluid from their differential or transaxle or...

The operator manual should give type and quantity of hydraulic fluid as well as engine oil. It should also tell the location of the respective filters and how to check fluid levels. It even gives recommended oil change frequency, which is more often for engine oil than it is for transmission /...

Is it possible the pan can be removed from some models while in the chassis but not yours? I know that's the case with many cars. Cutting things underneath makes putting them back sound like more work than just pulling the block, but maybe not.

I'll bet you're really glad you asked first.

You say that according to the seller the injectors, glow plugs, and fuel filter are new. Can you base that on anything but his word? Black smoke coming from the exhaust probably indicates an excess amount of fuel or more likely too little air. I know little about an oil bath air cleaner but...

You will have a few grease joints here and there, especially on the FEL if it has one. There is hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid to attend to as well as associated filters. If it has 4WD there will be drive units on the front wheels as well. You should at least seek out an owner's...

It could be the injector pump but I doubt it. You say you have a transfer pump? If that's the case its output could be low if the starter isn't spinning the engine fast enough. Be sure fuel is flowing freely out of the tank. Many of the older tractors are gravity fed through the filter and...

If you get the tractor with ag tires they will cut into a lawn and leave their mark. If you get tires for the lawn your traction will suffer and ballast would probably be a good idea. I have ag tires on my L2501 and mow up and down hills with no issues - no ballast. I move dirt with no...

That particular machine appears to have wet disc brakes. The only suggestions I can offer are to check the fluid level and adjustment.

Those numbers show two different size tires. You may wish to call Messiks and have them straighten out their numbering. It may not make a difference if you're buying tires at the same time but there's a two inch discrepancy between the two sizes.

At eleven years old you have received unbelievable service from that battery!! You could try disconnecting it and cleaning the terminals - they may just be dirty, but before winter you'll probably be seeking a replacement. I agree Jim, get it load tested.

If you're seeking side to side stability, you can move the wheels a bit further out. As far as front to back goes, it would take a tractor with a longer wheelbase.

If you're putting the correct plug into the correct hole it should screw right in. If it is not square with the hole the threads may not catch. If you have not contacted the surface with the plug the threads cannot catch. Tapping the threads to clean them up won't help in either of these two...

If you can't run the tractor you can't really tell what else might be wrong. It may be a good value (if the price is right) but only if you can perform whatever repairs may be needed. It's county property. Assume it's been abused. You may also assume maintenance has been sporadic and on an...
