    Kubota M9000 High Pressure Switch?

    The tractor has had a small leak for a while. It has been known to freeze up after a couple months of use. When I pulled a vacuum and refilled the Freon I added dye hoping to find the leak. Since I did not know exactly how much charge there was, I evacuated the system, pulled a vacuum and...

    Kubota M9000 High Pressure Switch?

    I have a Kubota M9000 w/cab. Three days in a row, after running the tractor for 4-5 hours the A/C stops working and the belt running the compressor squeals. I tightened the belt but when this happens the compressor is feels hard to turn. Does this system have a high pressure switch? If so where...

    M8200 cab tractors

    I know this is an older thread but thought I would put this out there in hopes it would help someone. I have an early serial number M9000 with the smaller condenser. I have been through the similar hassles that most everyone with a 8200/9000 have. Here is a brief history of what I have done...

    M9000 Clutch Bearing Greasing

    I would say closer to a rattle. I am also wondering what do the TWO adjusting bolts connected to the clutch arm do? One sets the release point of the pedal and the other does ??? I have never put the tractor under a super load like tillage but it has always pulled fine.

    Spring maintenance

    Does anyone use something other than the pricy Kubota UDT hydraulic fluid? I changed filters this year and will do a full hydraulic system change next year. It takes 16 gallons on a M9000 so it isn't cheap using the Kubota oil. I cannot bring myself to use the common yellow jug/green top that...

    Spring maintenance

    Is anyone using a different hydraulic fluid rather than the pricey Kubota UDT? I only changed filters this year but will do a full service next year which will take 16 gallons. My M9000 has the mechanical shuttle.

    M9000 Clutch Bearing Greasing

    The clutch on my 2003 M9000 makes a mild noise when setting still. It shifts and pull fine. Is there a way to grease the bearing? The tractor has about 1100 hours on it. Thanks,

    Biggest brush hog

    In short, I would not recommend paring the two. The first response is correct, more information will help. To make a 12' mower light enough to work with a 35 pto horsepower machine you give up a LOT of service factor and life of the mower. Much lighter deck and frame, smaller gearboxes and...

    M9000 - Adding/Changing Float Aux Hydraulic Valve

    I have a M9000 with two remote auxiliary valves. I would like to change one valve to an open center, float valve for running a disc mower or batwing. I do not see an option for an open center valve when I look at a parts diagram. Can anyone help explain how to make this change. I have the...

    GPS Speedometer

    I have a M9000 with an analog tachometer and gauges. As all tractors I can estimate mph by the chart but want to add a digital speedometer for haying. I see a lot of low priced gps speedometers. The tractor just has a basic radio (no gps) so I do not know it/how a stand alone speedometer works...

    M9000 A/C system

    Hello, Thanks to anyone who can help. I recently purchased a 2003 M9000 cab tractor with 789 certifiable hours. The tractor sat outside confiscated by the DEA for 7 1/2 years. It runs out very well but I bought the tractor before I found out about the apparent chronic A/C issues. When purchased...
