    New guy on board needing help

    Welcome to the forum. You would not believe how many folks think they have a good battery, cable contacts, switches and such, but don't know exactly how and what to test in order to be 100% certain of eliminating uncertainty and isolating a problem. I don't know if this will make sense but here...

    Help - Hydraulic Fluid Leaking from Rear Axle Hub

    I have not had this on my tractor, but I have had it on trailer axle seals. These guys can teach both of us a lesson here. What I did was clean the seal casing and the wheel where the casing is pressed in then put a thin coat of Permatex gasket maker on the seal casing then tap it in. It has not...

    hydraulic control lever travels too far, relieves pressure

    No, I don't think you want to try and actually dig in float mode/position. It is used equally for back-dragging as you will discover with a little experience in the seat and also for "setting" the bucket height before you start to dig. :cool: Once the bucket is dropped and hits the ground, then...

    Help i.d. an old Kubota tractor

    Hi and welcome to the OTT forum! Judging from your 1st pic I think you have one of those EXTREMELY rare upside down Kubotas. There have been a few of those posted lately but they are as rare as Ridley motorcycles so hang onto it!:cool: Jim@MilkyWay

    L4760 Leak

    I am dealing with something similar. Mine, as it turns out has a cracked braze on the banjo. Try this: clean all fluid from the banjo, just so that you can observe EXACTLY where the fluid is coming from in the next step. Get in a position so you can observe banjo carefully; stay safe, then get a...

    What brand of deck drive belt to buy

    Yea, I thought about that TOO LATE! I had already started removing the debris from the deck belt area before really investigating how this could be explained. There is no chance that a belt would fail, miserably with only 50hrs on it; brand X or not. Thanks for the guidance and I will check...

    What brand of deck drive belt to buy

    Thanks JackJ for responding and I appreciate it, I really do, but I really hoped that would not be the 1st question/response. :p :p I need this for a POS brand-X, 50hrs on meter with a 142.5X5/8" deck belt (shredded). My question is of a general nature; I don't think the machine/application...

    What brand of deck drive belt to buy

    I am looking for a belt to replace the one my mower shredded for some reason. It had far too few hours on it to puke. I have seen prices all over the place for identical sized belts. I figure you guys have a ton of experiences, good and bad to share. Is there a general consensus on what brand to...

    L 5450 hydraulic leak

    Thanks for the come-back. I was afraid you had written me off because I had pissed you off, and that is the last thing I wanted to do!! All points you made are taken to heart and as a matter of fact, in regards to item #3, I already started a search on a web-page for lawn mower ball joint and...

    B6100E steeringarm knuckle

    Is your Big Orange out of commission or are you still able to use it? I have a '93 L5450 and it may as well be totally dead. It squirts a gallon of hydro fluid out on the ground in 3 hrs of operation. It soaks my boots and everything underneath it, and just today I found out the problem is worse...

    L275 - new fan belt doesn't fit - too small

    Like he said. Also do you have the old one? If not, take a guess at the additional length you need to make it work, buy 2 or 3 belts within 1/2in or so of the size you think is correct and then return what you don't need. Picking up several belts hurts the wallet initially, but it might save you...
