    upgrade Hyd pump

    What I have is a loader that gets weaker and weaker as I use the tractor. I am guessing it has something to do with the fluid temp but i'm not sure. Like I said before the power steering leaks some but i'm not sure this could be the problem. Where is the test port ? I am assuming I...

    Ag tires not available????? Help please.

    What I would do is go to Firestones website(because its a good site) and get the OD (OVERALL DIAMETER) specs on your current tires. Then go to the ag section and find tires that are close to that size in OD and width. Keep in mind if you go a little bit bigger on the rear - you have to find a...

    My first snow in my first tractor

    I didnt have that kinda fun, well not after the first 4 hours of freezing my butt off. We got about the same amount of snow here this year in Maryland. I have a L235DT with a Carhartt cab. My little Kubota got a work out. We had to dig our way into driveways instead of pushing the...

    upgrade Hyd pump

    That would be good if there was - I love the little tractor for what I use it for - i just would like to have a little better FEL performance. I hate having to have the tractor wide open to do anything with the loader

    L275 4wd problem...

    I have the l235 dt which is the little brother to the l275 - a few observations after 3 days of moving snow. The loader gets slower and slower the more I used it. If I stopped and gave it a rest it seemed to perk back up. Im guessing this has to do with either heat or something with the...

    steering leak

    ok who or where do I get the parts ? This last two snow storms have taken their toll on my little bouta - the fluid is running out of the steering column pretty bad. How much are the parts going to cost me - ball park ?

    steering leak

    I have a L235 dt with power steering. The steering seems to work fin but I am leaking fluid from the top of the column just under thew steering wheel. Can I just replace the rubber bushing without taking the entire thing apart ? I am assuming that the column holds hydro fluid cause thats...

    Leave it run or turn it off?

    you can let them idle but you need to have the idle bumped up a little. The engine needs to be warm enough to burn all the fuel or you will "wash" a cylinder. If you notice most new diesels will idle up to about 1200 rpm's if they are left to sit. Just my .02

    rear weights on an L235

    im trying to make a big heavy tractor out of a small one ! It pulls better with more weight - lots of power out of that little motor. I dont have hills to worry about so the stopping part is not a problem, I just want it to pull ground engaging equipment better.

    rear weights on an L235

    What is the most weight I can add to the rear wheels of this tractor. I have the tires filled now and it made it better but I would like to have an option of some bolt on weights. I have 12.4-24 R1'S 4 PLY. They will hold 1800lbs each. I found some plates that are 200 each used on a M...

    l2500

    Kubota designed it to have some oil there to keep the plate sealed and free from dirt. If oil is running out dirt cant get in. :D

    L4400, will not move

    I'm not sure if your tractor has "low and high" range but my lever got bumped and the lever was in between the "hare and the turtle" and the tractor would not move. A simple bump in either direction fixed her right up. Good luck Jack

    help with new loader on l245dt

    I have a l234 and it is plumbed to the rear. It does not have a remote tank. I upgraded to the northern tool single lever controller valve - nice upgrade in my book. The 1200 is a good littler loader

    Adding work lights to an L235

    I built a canopy for my L235 and want to add 4 work lights. In the front I am looking at 55w 3X5 with trapezoid beams and in the rear I am adding the 5 inch round flood lights. My question is - how much can the stock alternator/ generator handle? I do not think I would run all at the same...

    Liquid ballast

    6 dollar valve from tractor supply or gemplers.com will do the trick. I have 12.4-24 R1 's and they take a good bit to fill. hour or so at least.
