    Injector Question

    I've noticed my L175 acted like it was loosing a little power running up hills in 4th gear, so first thing that crossed my mind was air in the lines. Cracked the first injector, no air, just solid fuel. Cracked the second one, but as soon as the fuel dribbled out (not squirting) the motor wanted...

    Piston Removal

    What's the best way to remove the 3 point piston to replace the O ring and backup ring on my L175. I removed the cylinder head by raising the arms, but the piston didn't come up high enough to get to the rings.

    3 Point Problem

    Trying to troubleshoot reason my 3 point on my L175 bleeds down even with the motor running. Checked my manual, but it's not much on trouble shooting. I'm very familiar with the hydraulics on my 640 Ford, but not so much on the K. Here's the story. This problem just started. I have a 480lb...

    Steering Box Adjustment

    I've got excess play at the steering wheel on my L175. Checked the manual to see about an adjustment bolt (as on most other tractors) but there isn't anything that's clear cut on doing it. I see the shimming procedure, but that's about it. Not at the tractor location today, but will be next...

    FEL and Float

    Since I'm not near my L175 I can't play with it, so maybe someone can enlighten me. Heard a lot about "float" on a loader. Just wondering if that's what I have on my setup. What I've noticed is that when the down lever is pushed all the way down, of course the bucket goes down, and that's it. If...

    What Is It?

    On the right front side of my L175 block just above the oil pan there is a plug. There is a slight oil drip that I'd like to fix. Here is the Kubota number 15221-33752. Started to unscrew it, but oil started to come out. Question is, what is the purpose of this plug? Did it have something to do...

    L1 75 loader problem

    A while back well using the loader, I saw the hood moving on the cowl. Looked down and the front axle housing was separating from the engine block. It pulled the threads out of the block. Got the threads restored to 7/16 20, reassembled the whole thing, and it looked like the top tube that runs...

    Throwout Bearing Question

    I know there is a grease fitting on the sliding shaft of my L175. When greased, does it just grease the spline, or is the throwout bearing open on one side so it can get greased?

    Bolt Trouble

    A few weeks ago the bolts that hold the front axel on my 2wd L175 with FEL broke and allowed the front housing to part from the front of the motor. I successfully drilled out the 3 broken bolts. I then installed 7/16" 20 helicons, went back with grade 8 bolts, torqued to 65# lubricated. Thought...

    L175 Axle Problem

    Well, yesterday started off with my 3 point not wanting to go down, OK I'll check on it as soon as I dump this load of caliche from the loader. While going down the road I noticed the hood not mating up with the dash as it should. Looked down and saw a separation of the front axle assembly and...

    Switch/Glow Plugs

    Today's problem. What is the correct way to check the switch that sends power to the glow plugs? Right now I know the glow plugs are good. I know the indicator wire is broken. Would it be possible to jumper the indicator just to see if that's all that's wrong with it? Electricity is not my...

    FEL Leaking Down

    The loader on my L175 tends to leak down with the engine not running. My guess is that the O rings in the shuttle valve on the control lever may need replacing, any thoughts on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

    Cavitation

    I haven't seen any refrences to cavitation (erosion) problems with Kubota engines. It's a problem with other diesels, especially stationery ones. Anyone got any input?
