1983 M4500 Thumbs up? Always starts easily (a big deal for an old Farmall kid) Runs smooth. 3 point will lift about more than the tractor weighs. Thumbs down? Hydraulic a little slow for modern implements (not the tractors fault, it's a 1983 thing). Brakes suck. Reverse is still on the wrong...

What'd I do today? Just enough frost in the ground this morning to get over the pasture w/ the M4500 and a 10 foot JD 1590 no-till drill to thicken up the stand with some orchard grass. Learned that I almost didn't have enough tractor for the job. Have used this equipment before during the...

I would suspect an oil delivery issue to the charge pump, or a charge pump pressure issue first. The screen and filter need to be really clean. BTW, you can use any non-foaming hydraulic oil supplement (viscosity improver) and it won't hurt anything. If it is a worn charge pump the thicker oil...

Further explanation required: The engine "stalls out"? or The engine continues to rev and the tractor "stalls out" or stops moving?

BTW, what's it doing??? Problems usually lie in the charge pump system, or with a plugged filter, occasionally a charge pump pressure valve.

I've done a couple small HST units, one Cub Cadet and one Simplicity/Allis-Chalmers. To be honest there's not much to them, a charge pump (regular gear pump), drive and driven cylinder pump units (usually carbon copies of one another), a swash plate that controls oil feed on the drive pump and a...

My old M4500 is in the shed... but it's unheated so it might as well be outside as far as it can tell. One thing that I have learned that I must do on this tractor is to make sure in real cold weather that I put the High - Low gear shift in neutral when I park it. Otherwise the safety switch...

WFM... "Pee outside at -7"???? C'mon now, fess up. Bet you stuck your tongue to the street lamp post when you were a kid too, didn't you?:rolleyes:

0 degrees this morning and the old 1985 M4500 fired up without assistance... outside. Used glow plugs a total of 80 seconds. As much as I loved the old Farmall's back on the farm and as well as they treated us the diesel never would have started on a morning like this without a healthy shot of...

Answer to first question .... NO. Someone who is skilled can however adjust the pressure, but it's not usually a good idea. Jerkyness is not because of the pump, it's the controls. The pump flow rate is constant for a given RPM unless it's a two stage pump (because pump speed is fixed to engine...

Depends on the model, my M4500 has the ground speed chart decal right on the dash. It's also published in my owners manual.

part number 34150-3181-0 in my old illustrated parts list flap is integral with the rest of the "gasket"

Call the dealer and see if they have/can order a key cover for an M4500. Mine has a rubber/plastic cover that can be snapped closed with the key out. Suppose it would fit your little Kubota as well.

Did anybody else here see the last play of the Auburn - Alabama game??? Never seen anything like that!

I've had good luck even just throwing the regular charger on at 2 amps over night about once a month.

Simple fix... Plumb up a "H" style arrangement with each hose for the swing cyl. going in and out one side of the "H". Splice a ball valve into the cross-over between the two legs. When the valve is closed it will operate normally, when open the valve you can move the blade by hand because the...

That would appear to have dry liners in it, and I do not believe Kubota offers a pre-sized dry sleeve as do some manufacturers. So the short answer is no, unless you have a friend with a portable boring bar and hone.

Carl, You have more options for seed choices than many of us in northern climates. Check with your local University Extension or Soil and Water Conservation District to get recs for your intended use. Normally, you do not want to cover the seed more than about 1/4 inch for most grasses. The...

It's getting a little late for anything but cereal rye or winter wheat. Otherwise it depends on your objectives. Make some nitrogen? Vetch, Flat Pea, Crimson Clover or some other inexpensive legume. Control erosion? Cereal Rye, Annual Rye Grass, Wheat or Oats. Loosen the soil? Tillage radishes...

Too wet!!!! Let the soil dry more before attempting to work it. Soil with adequate moisture to "cake" as you describe is very prone to compaction as well. Soil should not be worked when it will form a ball that holds together well when squeezed in your hand, it results in compaction that can...
