Fishlife, always good to see another Floridian. I have a grey market tractor and every label on the thing is in Japanese. I would bet you are in the clear if everything is in english. I guess it is possible it came from another english speaking market that was not US but I think it is OK...

No worries. I enjoy working out the issues, and bringing something back to life. Yesterday I spent the whole day in the seat move dirt from here to there, dragging logs, generally getting things done. The tractor still needs plenty. Body work, electrical repair etc... The one last thing I...

I feel a little like I'm talking to a dark room at this point, but in case any one comes along that this might be able to help. Success!! I took the control valve apart and found what looked like a relief valve that wasn't moving. I freed it up cleaned it up and put it back together works like...

I've been thinking about the lift cylinder. The three point if I manually raise it will come come up but it takes a little bit for the cylinder to catch up with no weight. I can leave the the lever in the up position and it hold the 3 point up even with me standing on it. That tells me that the...

So what happened?

Okay it took awhile because I had to get the o-ring to replace the one that was broken that goes around the valve unit in the front. I special ordered that from an o-ring supplier. I got everything put back together and same deal. No lifting power. If I raise it manually the cylinder will fill...

I finally got the o-ring based on the L275 numbers and they are not correct. So I'll try it with the old O-ring and backer rings and see what I get. Here's to hoping!

This is where I am with the honing now. What is the consensus would you keep going? I'm trying not to eat up too much material. I'm believe the O-rings are coming tomorrow.

85Hokie you were right on about the tach. I purchased the cable for the L275 listed as the us version of my 2002. Tossed it in this evening and whamo I have a working Tach! I start to think I can make this into I nice little tractor. I'll need to chase down the wire to replace but I think that...

Okay so where I tried to order from said they don't have it and can't get it. My options are looking like see if a machine shop can make one or fine one in a bone yard somewhere, or hone it and hope for the best. Anyone have any other thoughts? Thanks!

I talked to my local Kubota dealer today. They said that they no longer make the L275 cylinder liner. Next option I've ordered one from online at this point I can only hope that it fits. For now it is wait and see. I did not get they piston just the liner, gasket for the transmission top...

Ok I see pitting on the liner. I'm guessing the tractor sat awhile. It is only on this side I imagine this was the "up" side that oil sat on the other "down" side. Scoring looks minimal on the liner but is an issue on the piston. So I would image that I need a new piston for sure any...

Sorry it is a L2002

What is the likelihood that this should not be straight? I'm guess someone hooked a tow rope on to it backed up? I'm really tempted to just bend it straight I just don't know if that would leave me with a severely weakened bar? Thoughts?

I think I found out why it doesn't charge. I believe this red wire should go to something. Here is the fuse block You can see the top fuse is missing the clip on the left hand side and the 3rd fuse down is blown. Here is the voltage regulator I guess it can hurt to replace it. That...

I like documenting these kinds of things one to help anyone else in this mess, two in case I need help getting out of this mess, and three we all like looking at pictures they are some much more helpful to convey what is going on. Here is my rusty seat bracket. It looks to have been expertly...

My understanding is that many of these grey market tractors did not have a live pto. Is there anything that can be done while I'm in there that can add that helpful feature. I'm aware that I can get an overrun for not much and if that is really the best answer then I'm fine going that route.

I've done a little looking around seems like I can take the piston to a hydraulic shop and have them find the right o-rings and rings if needs be. If I'm pulling the top of the transmission / 3 pt system off. is there anything that I should consider doing as a while I'm there kind of repair...

I thought it was odd that it started at all with the battery backwards but I'm pretty sure the cable that bolts right to the frame from the post is the ground and I'm equally sure that this tractor should be negative ground. Now I'm not saying somebody before me hasn't removed a fusible link...

I read that the L2002 is roughly equivalent to the L275 in the US at least they have the same engine. I assume I need some sort of rebuild kit. Although I also read that the 02 series were a joint venture turned bad between Deadong and Kubota. A venture where Daedong built the transmission and...
