    Rear Main Oil Seal leak - L2050DT

    I have the idea that the loader will have to come off due to the loader frame Probably will be attached to the under side of the transmission. If that is the case you will have to break down the loader into smaller parts. In that I would remove the bucket, then the nose piece, then the arms...

    Rear Main Oil Seal leak - L2050DT

    Do you have a chain hoist in your garage? I do and the first thing I do when I split a tractor is get the front end loader removed. I simply attach the hoist to the loader arms and swing it forward out of the way. I have also used a vehicle engine lift for the same thing and then used blocks...

    backhoe l2250?

    You actually want a backhoe that is frame mounted, with a 3 point mounted backhoe you can actually break your tractor in half. The stress loads of the backhoe will be only on the back half of the tractor leading to severe loading on the tractor. So check around on the internet but pay...

    Rear Main Oil Seal leak - L2050DT

    NOT CORRECT In order to replace the seal you will have to split the tractor engine from the transmission and rear end. You can not just pull the engine to replace the seal. The reason is the clutch package on the tractor is rigidly mounted to back of the engine with the input shaft of the...

    Rear Main Oil Seal leak - L2050DT

    Bad news, It is split time for the tractor, it has a one piece seal and you will need to split the tractor to get to it.

    Kubota TG1860G Gas Starved

    If it is fuel starved because of a vapor lock the trick that I have used in the past is several big washers with a small center hole. I avoid using cloths pins but only for a short term fix as I have seen them almost catch on fire anytime they are near the exhaust manifold. The trick is to...

    Problem: Hooking Up a Bush Hog to B6100DT

    One other trick is to reverse the pins on the brush hog. If they are pointed outboard on the brush hog try them set inboard. I had to do this on the Woods RCC42 that I bought. The pins are easily reversed and can give you more room. One other thing I did was buy a quick hitch from Harbor...

    wfhat is this lever

    I am with Dr. Phil and Service Dept Vic. My L1801 has the same type of lever and I call call it a splitter gear in the rear axle. I have used it on mine to do really fine moving as mine also has a 2nd gear reduction on the transmission and you can put the transmission in low and then the rear...

    gray market rookie questions

    I have a L1801 which I have had for the last 7 years. Some of what I have learned is to use 15W40 the oil is flat better at protecting the engine and it doesn't fail as quickly as a straight weight oil. Just pick your favorite brand of oil and use it. I also have a FEL on mine and just limit...

    Kubota L1500

    I actually prefer the larger oil filter, this is just my opinion that the larger filter has more filtering because it can have more filter media in it and the check valve can be a little bit stronger. I cannot prove these statements but a larger filter will also hold more oil even through it...

    Go vote! (on our poll that is)

    The front end loader and the backhoe can be taken off in less then 5 minutes on each. I do not have them on the tractor when I mow as they also make it hard to get into the tight areas I have on the property. The Kubota BX25 also has a really quick removal and reinstall on their tractor and...

    Major Project on the Horizon

    I should have posted sooner but I have been really busy with everything happening and this project is complete. The builder has been excellent and finished everything as promised. It now has a sidewalk and the cars and the 5th wheel are parked inside. I did lose out on the 4 post lift as it...

    Gearshift scheme B7000

    I have found that the highest gear in the low range is the most often used range when I use my L-series tractor for bush hogging and also when I used it to remove snow with the rear blade with the low range set.

    L2550 Radiator Hose

    Yes it is time for a new hose. The inside of the hose is going and it is only a matter of time for the hose to burst if it is left on the tractor. Pull that old hose and get a new one.

    Mower Blade Sharpening

    The fastest and easiest way to sharpen the blades is actually what Vic said and that is remove the deck and use the FEl and lift it by the front and then use a air impact wrench and remove the blades. then sharpen the blade one at a time and then reinstall the blade the same as the other...
