    RCK5422BX Gear Case

    Agree with Lugbolt on this one. Lost the bottom gearbox seal in my RCK60-24B MMM. My gears were shredded and metal was throughout the gearbox components.

    LA450 loader control valve aftermarket options

    I was just like you... could not see spending a Grand on a Kubota OEM loader valve. So.... I worked with a local hydraulic shop to switch mine out and did it for around $450 if my memory is correct. I used Beiler Hydraulic Repair , Sales and service out of Leola, PA located between. Never...

    Synthetic or Conventional motor oil in Kubota diesels

    I solved it for me.... I called the Kubota dealership and flat out asked them... they said Delvac was just fine for me... I have used it for well over 15+ years, engine does not use oil between changes and cranks over pretty much the same year round. This ole girl ain't no garage queen even...

    Synthetic or Conventional motor oil in Kubota diesels

    Folks I am lucky! My neighbor of over 40 years just happens to be a senior petroleum engineer for over 45 years and he owns a Kubota. When I asked which oil I should be using in my tractor I got a lecture that was interesting but about 10,000 feet above my paygrade. Here are the takeaways from...

    Retrofitted B2410 FEL Control Valve

    This replacement unit was selected based on my tractor system's hydraulic specifications, hose connect fittings configuration, joy stick location and the tractor's valve mount mount layout. I cannot be happier about the results. The replacement unit looked like it grew there and the performance...

    head lights

    Check out superbrightleds.com. If your lens/housings are ok these folks can hook you up on really bright led replacment bulbs. When I did my change over on the B2410 (CIRCA 1999) I had to switch main lead (-) to (+) to the headlight as LEDS are polarized and power can only flow one way. These...

    B2410 HST front axle oil seals seals

    Folks ..... Oil seal replacement it is not straight forward on the B2410. Twenty year old stuff just does not want to give it up. I am just now ready to put the left side of the front axle together. This one was the beast. The right side was difficult but I did not have to take anything to a...

    B2410 HST front axle oil seals seals

    Well it finally happened. The right front axle pivot oil seal gave up the ghost. I am going to pick up the seals, a total of four, for both sides and the axle. It looks like a pretty straight forward job and that is why I am throwing it out here to solicit tips, cautions, and basically what to...

    HST fluid change with filters

    When I change out all the oils and lubes on our tractor.... I catch it in three 5 gallon containers. I got my 5 gal. containers from a local breakfast/lunch as that is how they receive their cooking oil for the fryers. Finding a home for the used oil was easy. Through a friend of a friend I...
