I've removed one of the L275DT tractor's FEL lift cylinders to replace the seals. I thought that the cap with the flats holding the rod in would thread off, but it just spins in place. There appears to be a retainer piece, similar to the bent wire types that press into grooves, but I can't...

Thanks Gents for the advice. I'm my father's son, so nothing happens quickly. I'm going to rebuild the hydraulic cylinders 1st, so this electrical work will have some time to settle in my mind. This gives me a good starting point.

Thanks for the heads-up. The devil's in the details, and I'll be definitely heading into the area where I know just enough to get into trouble restoring this tractor. I have the WSM. Hopefully I can get all of the amperage info I need from that. Or is it more just replacing wires with the...

Thanks so much for that link. Along with being a great thread to read through, it pointed me to a connector kit that I'm much more comfortable using: deutsch connector kit for sale | eBay

The brass perhaps. It's the plastic that I'm more concerned about. That being said, a $20 gamble isn't much to lose and if I don't like the quality I don't have to use them.

I've tried multiple sources including the dealer and they're NLA. I'm fine with rolling my own. OEM color coding would be nice for future reference, but I won't be a stickler on that. The kit with the "robot or human" link was out of stock, but there were identical kits on Ebay & Amazon...

I'm finally getting around to working on my L275DT, and one of the major issues is the poor condition of the wiring harness. Below is a connector that is below the fuel tank and has been soaked in diesel, has burned wires and has many years on it. I see a number of options for generic...

I looked at mine today and I'll be able to use a pipe or chain wrench, fortunately.

Alright, I should be good to go now. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the opinions and pointers. Much appreciated. New all the way around it is. I've not done this in particular before, but should be able to do it. I have a couple of pretty good vises. I'll have to check on the pin spanner. I'm pretty sure I don't have one for those sizes. Is...

The FEL cylinders for my L275DT are seeping too much for me to ignore any longer. The sealing surface of the rods/pistons are undamaged, so I'm assuming that it was just dirt buildup over time that has worked into the seals. I've not taken anything apart to verify that the seals aren't damaged...

The wiring on my L275DT has always been pretty rough, but it always functioned well enough. Recently I found that the alternator/generator is not charging the battery, and it looks like the wiring may be the culprit. The wires to the alternator were patched up after getting too hot near the...

Thanks Lance. I looked at it last night, and your suggestion looks like a good one.

I have an L275DT with a FEL. The FEL controller is mounted as shown in this post. The hoses going to the controller run from the pump (which is down and to the left of the seat), behind the seat, then up on top of the right side fender just looped over the handle mounted on the fender, and...

I'm finally getting back to this. How does this controller mount to the tractor? It looks like it has two holes for bolts through the body on the side, but I don't see a clean way to use them. Is some other bracket needed? Edit: looking at it again, it looks like it would just mount to a...

Hi Lance, How much for the pair plus shipping?

I'm not a good welder, particularly with thin metal. I should take this as a goal to practice for. I'd imagine most people would say that welding is the best option.

My L275DT runs great, but looks like it's halfway to the scrap heap. I plan on painting it at least, but the fenders are in bad shape, being pretty bent up and flexible. Any recommendations on making it more rigid before I paint it? I'll fix the bent over lip/flange that is supposed to give...

Just to add for future reference: My GPs and indicator were getting no power. The 1st thing I did was to take off the GP wire connections. I checked the GP resistance and it was good. The wires and washers on the GPs were pretty corroded. Once I cleaned/ground them back to good metal and...

I'm hoping so. I'll be checking on it tonight. I did see on the kubota illustrated parts list that they have the upper muffler listed specifically for 4WD. the under muffler does not say specifically either 2WD or 4WD. I should have specified that mine is the L275DT.
