The L35 was (is) an amazing survivor considering the abuse they often get. Many are left in 4wd their whole life and simply wear out their tires and smaller parts. One common thing on older 4wd's is the front driveshaft coupling splines get rusted and stop working. Take a quick look under...

Front end loaders on these models are rated up to 2500 lb so everything is pretty rugged . The bearings might get worn - but something actually breaking off is unheard of in my experience.

If the hubs turn smoothly without leaking or making noise, you can probably live with minor bearing lash. If you decide to go in, here's a WSM page for the L5450 - same constuction as the l4150. May need to improvise pullers for the cover and seal. The hub nut is lightly tightened to...

I'm writing in a private conversation - because I don't understand what you have posted about your L355ss. Did the problem start when the new clutch was installed? I had one of these (it still lives next door at my neighbor's) and I've had two L345's that are very similar except they don't...

Glad you found a part - another older machine returns to full duty ! Good doing !

Looks like someone did a quick clever fix on an expensive broken part. It has lasted fine this long so I'd pack or inject a bit more grease in there and close it back up with silicone adhesive sealant. The axle gears will be ok submerged in grease instead of oil. They may only last fifty...

The real objective of the 40amp fuse is to protect the tractor's electronics from connecting a battery the wrong way (polarity reversed). Are you quite sure your battery cables are on the right posts?

There is a yard in Maine that has some L345 and L355ss parts - great people! Link: http://mainetractors.net/Kubota-l355ss/kubota-l355ss-parts.htm Their list includes some front axle parts. I didn't see the part you're after ( 37800-43820 ) but if you call them and ask they might have something...

Looking again at the parts pages for the earlier models, the L235 and L275 had either the single or dual clutch. The dual clutch model has a deeper clutch housing - and does have 4-bolt side access plate for adjusting the pto clutch. The later L345 has the dual clutch but not the 4-bolt...

So far this thread has discussed two different series of tractor models that have different adjustment methods for their secondary (pto) clutch . EDIT: SOME of the EARLIER models (L235 and L275) were available with dual clutches that have an access plate for adjusting the pto clutch. The...

The clearance in the pump gears is very small - and the velocity of the oil at the tips that's actually try to flow backward is high. ANYTHING suspended in the oil (microscopic particles) acts to wear the gear tips away. The M5400 is a gear tractor so you could try using heavier-weight oil but...

sold to an OTT member - thanks

Ok, I'll back out of the room now.......besides my scanner just winked out.

I'd suggest interchanging the 2 curl hoses at the loader boom couplings or at the control valve. With hoses swapped it should work as intended. The upper left diagram in the above attachment shows only one hose is open to the tank on reverse flow - connected the right way the cylinder can...

I think the check valve function is built into the spool (its load checks) - valve doesn't have a regenerative spool, if I'm reading the diagram right.

To help control the bucket while curling down, kubota's FEL valve pressurizes both ends of the curl cylinders at the same time - the rod reduces the area of one end so the big end makes more thrust, extending the rod. I'd suggest interchanging the 2 curl hoses at the loader boom couplings or at...

If any RTV got into the regulator through the small passages the charge pump pressure might not be high enough to clear it out. The pressures at the big valve plate passages can get to 5ksi but the charge pump is only 300+ psi at the regulator. It would take some patience but it might be...

Another thing to check is the dry clutch - Does this L48 have a lot of hours on it? Their HST's don't usually fail abruptly.

Maybe a long shot, but is there a chance the HST output shaft coupling came off while splitting the tractor? There are three couplings that can simply slip off - for the pto, front driveshaft and the HST's main output. Requires separating again to have a look - but would be a simple fix if the...

I think anything made of steel or aluminum that fits into place to block the loader posts from freely jumping up will be adequate. When my first LA1150 was new I lost one of the wedges - a new one was pretty expensive - something home-made like yours would have worked fine! And about your...
