Ross82, I'm guessing a "slasher" is the same as a bushhog over here. But I'm also guessing whatever implement you have on your Kubota will not stay up after you shut off the engine. If that is the case, your problem may be some "O" rings that have failed and need to be replaced. Let us hear...

Thanks for keeping us informed on your progress. I didn't have any advice for you, so I didn't respond. I'm sure I speak for the crowd here at OTT, you don't owe us a beer, it is us that would be proud to treat you and your fellow troups to a round or two. Thanks for what you do.

Paul, that is fantastic! You've done to your Kubota something I've wanted to do for quite a while. Mine points down and outward on the left side. But if you are driving into the wind, the exhaust come back in your face. I'd love to have an upward stack like you've done. I'll study your...

Thanks for posting all the problems you've run into. I've not taken an engine down and put it back-together myself. So I'm really interested in your progress. Thanks for the pictures too!

I am glad you are back too! I can only imagine what kind of spam, trojans, and other electronic demons the crazies shoot at OTT. Thanks and keep up the good work!

1. On my L35, it is the glow plug controller that is bad. About $75 for a new one. You need to kill the power that goes to the glow plugs till you get it fixed. Because the glow plugs are on all the time the yellow light is lit. 2. New seals. I fixed mine once, but you need a press. I...

Been there and done that! Don't even want to talk about it. My face was about IH red. Like you, I knew better.

Thanks! I've never used a milling machine. It would have made short work of the work I did with a grinder. I'm looking forward to seeing photos of this operation when you get to it and photos of the hard-facing you do to the cutting edge.

Paul, thanks for going into detail and providing pictures on the new cutting edge for your bucket. I have a question after looking at the pictures. I'm guessing that you used 3/8" or 1/2" steel for the cutting edge. And it looks like you tapered the edge of the steel. How did you make the...

sw18x, this is the wrong crowd to ask. Most of us will advise you to go ahead and buy the Kubota. As for me, I bought an L35 which is a FEL/BH tractor more intended for industrial use. I use it on 5 acres. But our ground is rocky and I've even used it to dig beds for my wife's flowers. I...

Wayne, I had a crack in one of my lines just as you described. Mine was right before the "banjo" fitting where it bolted to the hydraulic unit under the seat. I thought it was a leaking o-ring and replaced them. Still leaked. I then found the crack, took it to a better welder than me. He...

Couldn't hurt to try it. My guess is that is would be a little slow. It would sure tell you if the cylinders are good or not. Have you talked to the PO to see if he could shed some light on what is going on with the machine?

You are welcome and glad to do it. I'll let you return the favor sometime. Can you tell why those splines sheared? You don't expect something like that to happen out of the blue. I'm curious and maybe it will help me either prevent it from happening to mine or give me a leg up if it does the...

gurn, in your case where the L175 went through the flood and was submerged, I would drain what is in the tractor now to make sure there is no water in the hydraulic system/transmission case (I assume this is true in a L175). Then refill it with the COSTCO oil and see if you can get it running...

From your first post, it sounds like you've been using it to do some digging already. Has it just now quit working? Or are you just gettng it set up and can't get enough hydraulic power to operate it properly? Have you checked the reservoir to make sure it isn't low on oil? You may also have...

2grit, as you probably know, an L35 has 2 hydraulic pumps. One for the FEL, BH, & 3pt. The other powers the power steering and glideshift transmission. From your description, I believe the PS & GST work fine while the other 3 functions do not. I looked at mine and that pump runs off the end...

2grit, what were you doing when it quit? Or did you just get on one morning and the hydraulics wouldn't go?

Paul, Great Job! I need to add a waste guard to mine. Down here, I have to worry about rocks falling back on the tractor hood. I'm curious about the size of the new bucket in comparison to the old one. Do you know what the capacity of each is? Thanks for sharing pictures and info with us.

I would try turning the engine over using a wrench or socket/breakover bar. Hopefully, the engine is free and will turn. If it won't turn, then you've got a whole different can of worms to deal with. I'm betting it will turn over. If you get water to come out of either of the glow plug...
