Hi Guys, I have owned and used old tractors for decades (Minneapolis Molines, Fords, Farmalls, etc., never a green one tho'), but my latest (1975 Kubota L260) is both my first Diesel and the first tractor I have ever owned with an accelerator pedal - imagine my surprise when I stepped on it...

While moving snow banks with my old 1975 L260 this weekend there was a sudden change of engine sound and significant loss of power. Now it will barely start and run. Upon inspection I opened the small side cover on my injector pump and found that a plunger spring broke and one (of my two)...

Hi Guys, My old 1975 L260 is not charging. The generator is probably bad and the regulator is probably worse. Neither one is readily available as parts for this old gal are pretty sparse. I'm thinking of swapping over to this One-Wire Internally-Regulated mini alternator with a 35 amp...

Hi Guys, Here is a slick trick I learned on painting wheels that makes the whole job relatively quick and easy. It involves a strip of aluminum roof flashing...but more on that in a minute. After rehabilitating my old L260, all I had left to do was paint the wheels. They were in good...

I hate it when someone asks for help with a nagging problem and then doesn't let us know how it got resolved, so in the spirit of education, I offer this to my fellow L260 owners (and others!) I thought I'd show how I (finally) fixed the sticking injector pump which caused my old L260 to...

Hi Folks, I thought I'd try out the Photobucket thing and show you all the end result of my 1975 L26 refurbishment I did this fall... Here is the old L260 stripped of sheetmetal (as it was sent off to the sandblaster) and before cleaning began... Here she is today... I'm still...

Hi All- I went to replace the gearcase (transmission/diff) oil in my L260 (it has separate gearcase and hydraulic system). The manual says 18Liters of 80 weight gear oil (4 gallons). Now it gets weird.... I put the tractor up on ramps, level, and put a 5 gallon pail w/funnel under it to...

Is there an equivalent oil available through NAPA perhaps? My L260 manual says use #140 Hydraulic oil. I am nowheres near a Kubota Dealer. Thanks!

My L260 has developed a problem where it will periodically fail to start. Warm, cold or in between. It cranks strong, but there is no white smoke from the exhaust while cranking. I have found that a light tap or two with a mallet on the side of the injector pump immediately cures the fault...

I got this old L260 in early August. She was in dire need of some TLC. I have been fixin' and cleanin' and paintin' and I thought you'd all like to see the progress. Thanks to all the folks here who have helped me with info during this process!

I've been looking for a schematic wiring diagram for my mid-1970's Kubota L260. Previous owner went in there with wire cutters and performed many "modifications" if you know what I mean. I have the Kubota manual and all it has is the glow plug circuit. The I&T manual apparently does not...

Hi Everyone- I am looking for some used parts. Can you make a recommendation for a tractor boneyard that might have older Kubotas. Mine is a mid 1970's L260 and I need a complete hand throttle assembly, a foot rest and (ideally) a replacement steering box and steering wheel. My usual google...

Hello- I am new to this board and a new owner of an old orange tractor. I have had many older tractors in the past (Fords, Farmalls, Minneapolis-Molines), in fact this 197? Kubota L260 is the newest tractor I've ever owned! Anyhow, the main shift lever is all afloat, it spins around in a...
