    kubota l2250

    Not familiar with that tractor but, Is it possible that the radiator cap is too high pressure to allow coolant to get to the overflow tank? If not it's possible the hose to said tank is plugged.

    Tips for removing Hyd filter.

    Thanks for the tips, still not loosened filter yet. I don't have confidence in the screw driver as it will shred the filter as tight as it is. I do not have the chain wrench as yet but sounds like it may do it. Don't want to damage the old filter and not get it off. I will report back with...

    Does my tractor have an oil filter? I want to change the engine oil. My manual doesn't mention one.

    The last engine of any size that didn't have an oil filter that I know of was the Model A Ford engine. :unsure:

    M7040 LA1153 cracking factory welds, loader

    Vibration is an enemy of welding. After 3600 hrs. of operation it's possible that was the main cause. However it does appear to be a little light on penetration. 7018 is a good rod for mild steel
