HST filters are pretty robust but they are usually not crazy tight. I've used a drift (like a blunt punch or heavy screwdriver) and a hammer on the ring lugs on the inner end of the filter, accessing a tangential shot from below or the side to turn it counterclockwise. Don't go full rhino at...

I've been a little lax lately in following L5450 questions. Here's a page from the WSM. The relief setting is around 2600-2700 psi. If your pump is still above 2000 its still capable of doing a lot of work.

Yes now with everything having a hair trigger before a fiery death, a long-burn fuse would just increase the repair bill. Good comment.

OK, here comes another old dummy with 2 cents. Long ago Kubota started putting a special "fusible link" in the system precisely to protect the "intelli-panel" from damage caused by connecting a battery (or jumper cables) backward. It was a loop of high-resistance wire that just plugged into a...

And to get the engine away from the loader and transmission, the front and rear frames have to go - Look for the TL1300 loader in the factory parts list.

Do you need the whole case? About 10 years ago, I worked on a neighbor's L225DT that wasn't functional - Link here. Best luck and welcome to OTT. Dick B.

Welcome to the forum - 3-point hitch droop can be easy to fix. If it goes up but doesn't stay up, the O-ring on the lift piston could be leaking. It's part 19 in this diagram - 12 cap comes off with 4 screws and pushing the arms further down will push the piston out exposing the 0-ring. If...

99% likely the connecting rod is broken and the stump poked a hole in the block. Don't start it again. The broken out pieces they could be brazed back in place - but that would come WAY down the road after finding and fixing what caused the rod to fail - and what else inside the engine needs...

As a first step, I'd try to turn the engine over by hand. L35's have a wet clutch so it wouldn't work to just put it in gear and turn a jacked up rear tire. Without using the starter, the engine could be turned using a wrench on the pto from the back end. The pto only drives in one direction...

For Kubota L305 and L345 parts mainetractors.net may be a source. Currently they don't list a L305 block but they do show one for an L345 (4cyl). Edit: - As I finished the post above I realized the L345's engine is 4 cylinders and is very different from the L305's 3-cylinder so the one in...

Thanks, I should have checked the dates. Do you know what they found? Thanks for setting me straight - Dick B.

From your description, it sounds like the one-way clutch in the transmission might be installed backward. It might be able to mount either way and was put in backward at some point. The Kubota parts drawing shows the one-way clutch 030. There is a used one at Wenger's (at a pretty big price)...

The Woods RM550 is a scaled-down version of the RM990 (which I've had 5 of). If the mower is bogging your tractor down to the point of stalling, a possible cause is a bad bearing somewhere. First check the main gearbox on top to make sure it has oil - its bottom seal can leak and eventually...

The hoses can get looking pretty bad, but they're ok to use until they start springing leaks. The local auto parts store with a hose bench is ok for a quick single hose but is pretty pricey. Surplus Center can be cheap but usually doesn't have the right end fittings. My go-to for hoses is...

Great tractor - and welcome to OTT ! It's always nice to see someone "discovering" an L3 Kubota model - the L3750 is a very good machine ('84 thru '90) and is one of the models that helped K rise in the compact tractor market. They had high build quality and many are still going strong...

Sorry to hear of the unlucky event. The big beautiful doors on your B2650 have slightly CURVED glass - which makes them very strong (and expensive). I checked Broken Tractor and John Conaty - lots of tractor glass but no listings for B2650. I believe Kubota is the only source. My...

I've been thinking more about your L4150 you've described above as "stuck in gear". Is this true? Is the shift lever really "stuck" ? Or can it be moved by hand to neutral ? I edited Post #13 above to include ways to move the machine even if it's stuck in gear and can't be shifted out of...

From the new facts, the second sentence in the original post doesn't quite add up. It should maybe say the clutch doesn't disengage? That would line up with "stuck in gear", and with Wolfman's point that the shift fork could be broken (failing to disengage the clutch). It might be possible...

The clutch pedal moving with no effect actually sounds like the machine is in neutral. The L4150 has a Hi-Lo range lever on the left side - any chance it got moved to neutral? Some L4150's had a manual reverser (shuttle) lever on the left side too - which would also have a neutral. Hope my...

My L345 main fuse was blown and I was surprised to find that the glow plug circuit had ZERO resistance! Isolating them I found one actually shorted to ground. I haven't taken it out yet, waiting get a new one. But the question is - how can a glow plug fail other than to just burn open? I've...
