    L2550 Steering Shaft (u joint) Discontinued

    I hate when they do that. If the salvage doesn’t work out, the other listed shaft may be a candidate for a cut/weld. You can also send a pm to 007kubotaguy to see if he has a salvage part.… click on the envelope in the upper right corner.

    L2550 Steering Shaft (u joint) Discontinued

    This is a very common steering set up before they went hydro, mine is the same style . Does the one you’re looking for have 3 joints on it, or is it a double supersession? Looks like you have your part numbers mixed up in the translation if that’s the case. Check again...

    When you don't use your tractor that much....

    Before you cave, pull the filter or blower motor, they usually stop at that point.

    When you don't use your tractor that much....

    I have found many nests in the cowl under the wipers, or on top of the cabin air filter.

    odd failure, hydralic oil leaking thorough starter engine

    Is the starter at the low point in the bell housing? A seal or Welch plug may have failed in the front of the transmission, and that’s the only outlet. There should be a jiggle valve or drain in the bottom of the bell housing that may be plugged.

    Tire bulging out the side

    Looked up your machine and this size came up, verification is up to you … available at lowes for $41.00. I don’t know how that works out with Canadian conversion...

    Parts Sources - Engine overhaul L245DT/D1101

    I think you’re trying for the impossible. The liners aren’t drop in like heavy equipment or road diesels. Nearly all Kubota liners are “semi finished”, which requires pressing in, boring, then honing. This makes an ”in frame” nearly impossible to do if there is any out of spec cylinder wear...

    What HST fluid is good and not so expensive? L3800HST

    You really need to be careful of counterfeit items (you can throw eBay in this group too). I’ve been burned on eBay before, but have always gotten a refund. Beware of spark plugs, oil filters, refrigerator water filters, cosmetics etc. …. And that’s just a few of the thousands of items being...

    What HST fluid is good and not so expensive? L3800HST

    Most dealers have it on the shelf for about the same price. https://www.messicks.com/part/70000-40205/5gal-super-udt2 https://www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/Kubota-Super-UDT2-Synthetic-Universal-Trans-Hydraulic-Fluid--1-Gallon-/70000-40201/ Yes, it is backwards compatible.

    Flywheel bolt

    Pictures are worth 1000 words. If you’re talking in the friction area only, it’s no problem. They normally don’t go deep. If a careful inspection shows it’s cracked from or through a bolt hole or to an inner or outer edge, it’s junk.

    Tire bulging out the side

    In MOST cases, when a front tire fails the axle will pivot and drop evenly without disrupting the tractor. Rear tires keep the tractor where it should be in relation to the ground, unexpected failure could get ugly.

    B2920 Oil pan removal?

    After 50+ years of removing drain plugs, I would never have something on my oil pan that a twig or branch could open and cost me an engine. And yes, you have to think vandalism in this day and age.

    Tire bulging out the side

    Ask any tire manufacturer… there’s no such thing as a manufacturing defect!🤣

    Tire bulging out the side

    That is definitely a broken cord in the sidewall. I wouldn't trust it for loader work. Mowing failure may cause an inconvenience. If it was a rear… replace immediately! Edit: Yes very possibly caused by underinflation, especially if there was an impact when low on air. (think pothole)

    Tire bulging out the side

    Send a pic from a few angles and we’ll have a look. Other than wearing the centers, (not crazy) overinflation normally doesn’t hurt tires… underinflation does.

    B2920 Oil pan removal?

    Bad idea in general, never mind on an off road Diesel engine.
