    We are no longer dry

    After two months of nothing but high temps I would settle for spit. Congrats to those getting it and prayers for those getting too much.

    We are no longer dry

    Glad someone is getting rain but I don’t wish anyone to get flooded, either. Last time my land in central Texas saw rain was 0.19” the week of June 4. Pretty much upper 90’s to 100’s since then, too. We get this every summer for a week or two but never this long. Stare at the dry grass...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I’ll have to find some that show the whole rigging and a game shot or two - and figure out how to load them. 🙃

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I have two 50 gallon (plastic) troughs buried so that lip is about 2 in. above ground level. Each trough has a 275 gal IBC tote off to the side as a supply reservoir w/ small screened funnel (screen prevents mosquito breeding in tote) to capture rain. More for laughs, especially now, as the...

    Brand New Kubota won’t run

    Tuesday is just two sunrises away. Like others have said, let it set were it is and call the dealer when they open. Don’t want to create a bigger issue than may already exist. That is what warranties are for.

    L2501 HST basic operation questions

    Roadworthy covered it well but he mentioned when engaging the FWD depressing the clutch may help. The manual says you must depress the clutch before engaging the FWD lever. Enjoy the tractor - great machine.

    Credit Card BS...

    Oops! I‘d blame it on fat fingers but just bonehead mistake in my thoughts. With Citi 1 point = $0.01. It hasn’t changed anything. What I had in dollars before is now in points X 100. You can still cash the points in and redeem as cash to your bank account if you wish. This is the only...

    Credit Card BS...

    Yes, Citi went to points (1 pt = $1). Not sure why they do it but you can still request to get cash sent to your bank account (I cash mine in when it reaches $1k) or you can use it to offset your balance. I pay in full so no running balance (I won’t give them interest). Or, you can use points...

    The right way to engage pto

    L2501 HST here, idle speed, step on clutch, flip pto lever to engage, ease off clutch. Once mower is up to speed and stable, ramp up to mower RPM and start mowing. Pretty much reverse steps for disengage - Lower RPM, step on clutch, flip pto lever to disengage, let off clutch.

    PTO shaft too wobbly?

    One other thing you may want to check while looking under it for stuck blades See if you hit something that bent (or broke) a blade A bent or broken blade will throw off balance and create a shudder.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    After 3 years of ownership, removed the loader arms from the L2501, and mowed some of my fields and the trails in the woods. It was extremely nice not having to watch those arms while going around objects.

    L3901 Fan Belt

    There should be enough space between the blades and the shroud to slip it over or around each blade tip. You may have to turn the belt to slip the thinnest side of the belt through the gap (may be thinner side to side than top to bottom). I doubt this needs mentioning but… make sure the key...

    L3901 Fan Belt

    Unless I am mistaken In the design Loop the belt over the top blades (and around the side ones), let the belt rest on the shaft and loop the bottom of the belt under the bottom blades. it should now be behind the fan and start running it around your pulleys

    Trouble using grease gun

    I will admit I knew you can adjust the tightness. I will also admit I have only known it for about two months when I stumbled across a video on it. (Wasn’t searching for it). For those who can’t get it to free up try applying some grease. That’s a joke. It is a grease gun after all. OP...

    Trouble using grease gun

    Willow HS welcome to the forum. DustyRusty told you right. The “dimple“ in the center of the zerk head in your picture should appear to be a small ball. The ball moves to allow grease in when you pump it in. It closes when you release pressure to hold the grease in. Yours is painted...

    Rodents / mice / chipmunks

    I keep my L2501, a Polaris SxS and an ATV in a 3-sided pole barn. I spray each of them with Febreeze Lavender fragrance before I leave each weekend whether they ran or not. Also, keep seat folded forward and hood up on tractor. I can’t stand the smell and understand why rodents wouldn’t...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Good taste in beer to replace those burnt carbs, too.
