    Rewiring the L275

    The plastic wiring harness connectors are badly deteriorating and breaking on my L275. I want to rewire it, or at least replace the plastic connectors to make the electrical system more reliable. Rather than cutting the wires and using individual bullet or spade connectors, I would like to use...

    L275 engine issues

    Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would the knock go away within a few seconds if it were a bent rod? As for water, the intake was left off the engine for some time and it appears that moisture accumulated in a couple of the cylinders during storage. We did not crank it over with water in...

    L275 engine issues

    Also, how sensitive are these engines to having the proper amount of air:fuel mixture? It seems to start easier when, if the air cleaner is off, the intake is partially obstructed to reduce the air being sucked into the engine. Is this normal? We don't have the front axle reattached yet, so...

    L275 engine issues

    So I finally found another L275 which was missing some parts (injector pump, injectors, lines, hydraulic pump, intake manifold, etc...) and I brought it home as a parts machine for mine which threw part of rod #1 through the block before I bought it. Supposedly the engine on this donor tractor...

    L275 conversion

    I just picked up a 4x4 L275 as a parts machine (need to do a engine swap) and am wondering if it's feasible to transplant all the 4wd hardware to my 2wd tractor. It's probably not a simple task, granted, but since I'll have the tractor torn down anyway would it be that much additional work to...

    Front wheel identification, L Series

    Thanks for checking on that, Vic. I may call a dealer to see if they can shed any light on the subject.

    Front wheel identification, L Series

    It would help to post the picture, wouldn't it? The sticker on the rim has a "LR-9471" number, which has not proved to help me much in my research.

    Front wheel identification, L Series

    I recently located and purchased from a local guy a pair of 24" rear rims for my L275 (the donor is an unknown L-Series), and with them I also received the matching 6x14 front rims/tires, pictured below. Right now I have turf tires on the L275 and am wanting to swap out for lug tires but keep...

    Replacement seat deal

    Late last fall I think it was Service Department Vic (but am not sure) who posted a message about having a good deal on a great replacement seat for CUT's. Is that deal still available, and if so, what are the details?

    Kubota Blue/Gray Paint code - XO Rust

    So did you use their professional grade or the prosumer stuff? Sorry, wasn't sure from your message. What about the orange for that same time period? Got a formula for that one?

    L275 & L235 engine blocks

    Ok, I found the spec sheet and answered my own question. I may soon have a L275 block, rods & pistons for sale, no head. One rod bearing wore and caused the engine to knock, but apparently no other damage occurred. Do you guys think there is much demand for these parts and what sort of street...

    L275 & L235 engine blocks

    I don't recall which engine the L235 tractor uses, but was wondering if the block itself is interchangeable with an L275. Is the bore different, or just the stroke? I have found a used L235 block and misc parts for a good price and was hoping it was usable, but am sorta doubtful.

    PDF manuals

    Sorry, I was referring to downloadable manuals. It's nice they offer the online ones, though.

    PDF manuals

    I'm pretty sure Messicks doesn't offer free manual downloads, Logan. Phildac posted the link I was referring to, however, if you would like to check it out.

    FS Suprex oil

    Has anyone used FS brand Suprex 15w-40 oil in their Kubotas? Good, bad, indifferent?

    PDF manuals

    Yes, that's it! The manuals are still there so I'm not sure why you're unable to get to them. Downloading one right now.

    PDF manuals

    Yes, Phildac, that must have been it. I'm sure you're right that they were probably shut down due to copyright issues.

    PDF manuals

    3 or 4 months ago I ran across a web site that had a bunch of Kubota (possibly other brands as well, can't remember) manuals in PDF format for free download. These were parts manuals, owners manuals and maybe even some service manuals. I grabbed a few at the time, but now for the life of me I...

    Aftermarket parts options/quality

    Please excuse my ignorance, but where exactly where do I go to check to see what you have?
